Once it was mostly a taco website. Now it’s covering L.A. ICE raids.
L.A. Taco has become a formidable media outlet amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the resulting protests.

Damn it's time to blast some motherfucking Sheryl Crow. She has some real jams. She has the guts to be a Tesla owner who turned hers in & said you know what, I'm not driving Elon's Nazi machine, & I'm giving the money to public media he wants to defund.
Sheryl Crow has sold her Tesla and donated the proceeds to NPR. “My parents always said... you are who you hang out with”

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator
Trump’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico may be upsetting to some, writes @giladedelman.bsky.social, but “in a democracy, values are determined by majority rule, and they don’t shift in only one direction. They can shift back”:
‘The Gulf of America’ Is the Wrong Fight to Pick
The more that politicians mess around with place names, the more important it is to respond according to consistent principles.

There is no “private” solution that can make it safe

Even though CDC recently allowed to resume publication of its weekly morbidity & mortality report, THREE studies on bird flu that had been scheduled to run in the journal are still being suppressed. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
CDC scientific report resumes publication after unprecedented pause
But three studies about bird flu remain on hold even as the outbreak spreads.

The Trump administration has stopped work at the CFPB. Here's what the agency does
It's the main U.S. agency tasked with overseeing the financial products and services used by everyday Americans. The CFPB's new head has closed its offices and told staff to stay home.

Hey in case nobody else noticed, today Trump released a shit ton of the water reserves in California. He claims it will address fire. It will, in fact, fuck everything, bc the winter here is the wet season. The summer will come and there will be no water reserved.
