LAPD planning to assault and arrest people tomorrow, including the press. Be careful out there.
The city of LA and the LAPD are asking the court to lift the injunction that prevents the dept from assaulting and arresting journalists ahead of tomorrow’s No Kings protests due to officer and public safety risks.
![PARTE APPLICATION
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with Local Rule 7-19 and this
Court's Civil Standing Order Section XIII, Defendants City of Los Angeles and Chief Jim McDonnell ("City" or "Defendants"), by and through their counsel of record, respectfully apply to this Court on an ex parte basis for an order staying the Preliminary Injunction entered on September 10, 2025 (ECF No. 83) pending appeal. This Application is based on Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 62 and Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 8(a)(1)(A), the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the Declarations of Lt. Joseph Dunster, the Declaration of Richard Egger, other supporting declarations and exhibits, the record, and any further evidence or argument the Court may permit.
Good Cause and Urgency
Good cause and urgency exist for the relief requested. The City has filed a
Notice of Appeal of the Preliminary Injunction. In addition, the City faces imminent enforcement obligations under the Court's September 10, 2025, Preliminary Injunction Order ("Order") because there is an upcoming "No Kings" protest scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025, which requires it to deploy officers subject to the constraints of the Order. The Order enjoins the Los Angeles Police Department ("LAPD") from a broad range of actions relating to its handling of "journalists" during protests, and requires LAPD to take a number of affirmative actions, described in the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities below. Although the Court described the injunction as "mirror[ing] the Defendants' own policies" (Order at p. 27), it imposes ambiguous mandates that create serious operational uncertainty and a substantial risk of contempt for good-faith conduct to preserve public safety. Given the immediate and concrete risk to officer and public safety posed by these uncertainties-and the fact that the City has](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vnsn3gjqvtaianuuziyiqxlx/bafkreiclgogepwv2z33rjia2tx4jubo6tmhl7sy6gp6nptv4xirwcppiqu@jpeg)

The U.S. president just ordered all the military generals to an unprecedented gathering in Washington, then told them that they should plan to participate in a war on American cities.
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

I’m torn, because I’d rather see Trump in jail than dead. But I’d also love to see Biden outlive Trump. 🤷🏻♂️

If you’re asking why Democrats aren’t doing more to protect America from Republicans, you’re missing a more fundamental and urgent question.
Why aren't Medicaid expansion states discussing using AI to quickly simplify all qualification and requalification requirements that will cost 10m people their coverage ?
Why aren't Dems pushing solutions that blunt many of the obstacles introduced to reduce coverage ?

Well, with the passage of the deeply unpopular budget bill, it’s clear we no longer have a representative democracy. A Republican Congress just voted to represent the wishes of their wealthy backers instead of the everyday Americans who elected them.
America: good idea but it just didn’t work out.

We've been shaking our heads and saying, "well, these people are just crazy, you can't take what they say seriously" for long enough that they've crazied themselves into actual positions of power. And now we have our first death camp.

You can blow out a candle. But you can’t blow out a fire. We’ll get this country back on track eventually, whether it takes a year, ten years, or fifty years. The cracks are already showing. Evil + incompetent is not a winning formula when pitted against the fundamental goodness of people.

This is a tune I wrote as an homage to Brian Wilson for my last band, Ghost Town. I even reference the horn line from “God Only Knows,” perhaps the greatest pop song ever.

If Rose makes it to the Hall, it’s because character no longer matters in baseball. If that’s the case, it’s because character no longer matters in America. As evidence, I gesture disgustedly at, you know, everything on this miserable ant heap.

No apologies.

Well, this has thoroughly broken me. Which I guess was the intent. I know this administration WANTS us to lose equity in being citizens of the US. But it’s kind of working. It’s hard to be proud of being part of all . . . this.

I’m afraid if we can’t, in the next 4 weeks or so, convince Trump’s own party of what an existential threat he is to the US and the world, we are irreversibly going down the path of late 1930s Germany. And half his own party can’t spell “existential” or find Germany on a map.
