While riding my bike along the L.A. River yesterday, I noticed a suitcase stuffed with hundreds of feet of cable, a little too late. The cable ended up lassoing my pedal and getting tangled. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stop in time and I went flying over my handlebars. Luckily I'm alright!

Update: Mayor Bass' office finally responded to my Nov. 12 records request and acknowledged they have a recording of the town hall meeting (duh! it was clearly being recorded). They expect to send me the recording by December 18, just in time for the holidays 🙄
On Nov. 12 I filed a public records request for a recording of a town hall that Mayor Karen Bass hosted. I followed up multiple times but haven't received a response. This follows a familiar pattern of the mayor's office flat out ignoring (some) reporters and violating the CA Public Records Act.

Attacks on ICE up 1,000%? Trump administration claim not backed up by court records
The Trump administration has cited a more than 1,000% increase in assaults on immigration agents to justify aggressive tactics. But court records reviewed by The Times show the majority of the alleged assaults in the areas where ICE and Border Patrol have been most active resulted in no injuries.
