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.

The Times saying the Sierra Club went woke and went broke is fucking ridiculous and absolutely a characteristic of their approach to shoe horning the hurt feelings of their boomer as editors into stories where they don’t belong.

I've read a lot of war diaries, spoken to a lot of veterans, and have my own experiences as well. And I feel confident in saying that if your response to being at war is sadism and violence to civilians and animals, that's not war changing you. That's just you. That's who you always were.

This is appalling
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

We’ve officially reached the “even the small to medium outlets ask to license footage and photographs for free and say they will credit me,” stage in journalism.

Wow. I’m really shocked to find out that the pub which dedicated more space to Amazon prime day than the entire period of outdoor detention under Biden is not really a great employer Or dedicated to anything other than making money.
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

this is disgusting.
There is no privacy at all at Broadview, and people are forced to use the bathroom in full view of other people held in detention and ICE officers. Men were able to see into the women's toilets and vice versa.
There was no soap, or hand sanitizer (and in some cells no sinks), adding to the filth.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
