I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

Zohran walks around the city
Crosswalks cannot bar him
Neither poor bike infrastructure nor bad pedestrian design impede
Nor does barbed wire scar him

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

40 people (at least) died. It's the official policy of these newsrooms that Latin American lives aren't worth anything. Again, if you still pay for an NYT subscription I think you're trash.

Nickelodeon, a subdivision of Paramount Skydance Corporation’s Paramount Media Division presents SpongeBob SquarePants the Movie’s bus stop featuring anti homeless benches
I live in LA so I see so much dumb shit that looks expensive but cannot possibly lead to more customers buying the final product.
How exactly is this gonna get more people to see the new Spongebob in a way a trailer or billboard can't?
And how much does setting this shit up around the city COST?

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
