Day 3, unrest continues in Los Angeles against immigration raids. Most protests are peaceful. But some agitators destroy property. Pink benches from Grand Park are used as a barricade. LAPD advance with tear gas, flash bangs to move the demonstrators back. A protester prays for peace. @latimes.com

For months @latimes.com photographer @gferaz.bsky.social has chronicled 17-yr-old Abi's life as a transgender athlete.

Due to threats against such athletes, it's a rare and important portrait, at a pivotal moment.

Kudos to Abi & @gferaz.bsky.social for letting us in.

Without freedom of the press, democracy withers. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we recommit to protecting journalists and the First Amendment rights that protect all of us.

SURPRISE!!!! The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public.

This is how authoritarian states are run.

This is the second video of ICE agents shattering a window in the last week rather than have some patience. And in this case, they're allegedly detaining someone who already has asylum through his wife, with no reason given at all!

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

AP is banned by Trump from WH pool, while this is happening:
Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.

Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

Let's be clear:

Trump visiting the DOJ today is NOT NORMAL.

He will use this time to threaten his enemies with deploying the DOJ against them and to declare that he is weaponizing the federal government against his opponents.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
