The daily fear of simply living in LA, under a constant threat from ICE, has upended life for undocumented immigrants.
For many, it means sheltering in place—avoiding work, social life, or even a walk outside.

If you think resisting the nazis was only about active violence, & not also about the grinding & halting of gears, the bureaucratic sabotage, the disruption of process, then go reassess what you understand about history.
It's not everything, but it's a slowdown for them, & breathing space for us.

A legend has passed. K.W. Lee was a towering figure in journalism, Koreatown, Asian America and the pursuit of truth and justice. So gratified that Julie Ha and Eugene Yi centered K.W. in "Free Chol Soo Lee." Deepest sympathy to his family and loved ones.

This is a gruesome DOGE-sque response to the WaPo opinions implosion. Instead of being ashamed of themselves and doing better, it’s like “look, at least we are not WaPo” while revealing their absolute vileness to trans people and people of color
Of course the NYT sees the "DEI" stuff positively & is neutral on anti-trans discrimination
