Since corrupt cop "union" officials are in the news, here's a reminder that LAPPL chief financial officer RALPH CAMPOS steered $450,000 worth of League contracts to GREEN KNIGHT SECURITY, a company he owns together with criminal ex-cop STEPHEN M. O'NEAL.

Mark Walter, principal owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, serves as CEO of Guggenheim Partners, which holds ~$12 million stake in the GEO Group, a private prison corporation that operates ICE detention centers.
This is why the Dodgers won’t directly condemn the raids destroying immigrant families.

I don’t mind that the owners of the Dodgers are squirming right now.
Because they also own a piece of a growing system of concentration camps that hold folks like me in dark, painful, & deadly environments.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:
The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme
Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.
