Hi @latimes.com, I broke this story for @lataco.bsky.social yesterday. We were the first news outlet to publish the surveillance footage and report that Rodriguez is a federal agent. Disappointing to not see a "first reported by" credit or link to our website in your story. Do better.

Riverside County family says off-duty immigration agent held teenage son at gunpoint
The 17-year-old boy was driving home when he was ordered to stop by Gerardo Rodriguez, who had a firearm pointed at him, according to the minor's lawyer. Neighbors say Rodriguez is a federal immigration agent.

Beyond stoked to get to talk about Octavia E. Butler’s work and visit my local library for my job ❤️
This October marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of Octavia Butler’s final book.
We spoke with a librarian at @lapubliclibrary.bsky.social's Octavia Lab about the prophetic nature of Butler’s work.

i think it’s interesting that taylor swift is known primarily as a lyricist and she leaned heavily into the poet thing when IMO her writing has been the weakest part of her recent projects

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

This is also the exact vibe of Charlie Kirk obituaries. Nary a mention of how he said he’d hypothetically force his daughter to deliver her rapist’s baby at age 10

As a public figure himself, Kirk did not restrict himself to politeness. He was incredibly crude and cruel about the deaths of other people. Reflecting on his life should reflect the truth.
