Like Ben and Joey and everyone else who has worked in LA, I’ve experienced this. In June the cops were using wild volumes of less lethals and seriously injured several fellow journalists.
The chief and cops that continue to shoot journalists and interfere with our work need to be held in contempt.
From the horse’s mouth, the LAPD does not want to follow the federal injunction handed down to them.
No consequences = no accountability

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell released a statement about the dept’s opposition to the injunction that protects journalists at protests. Their biggest hang-up is not being able to freely use less-lethals on people to “de-escalate” protests.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

A bit of something wholesome in this day of rage...
A woman asks a Japanese TV show called Knight Scoop to find out why her dog Sacchan has gotten so fat, so the show decides to follow Sacchan around as he goes about his daily routine in a Japanese town.
I'd watch the hell out of this show.

1. He overstates the risk. Guillain-Barre from the influenza vaccine is 1-2 additional cases per million doses given.
2. Only 30% of patients require mechanical ventilation.
3. A hospitalist would consult with their affiliated OB-Gyn, not a "Locum Independent Contractor"

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
