I feel like this is going to end up in our kids’ history textbooks, if we are ultimately able to continue teaching what actually happened

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens.

Crazy scene a little bit ago. Two bikers inched up to the main protest intersection, revved their engines to cheers from the crowd … then somehow got to the police skirmish line. One crashed, both drivers seemingly led away by police.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim
directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

Opinion | Silicon Valley Is at an Inflection Point

In my first op-ed for @nytimes.com, I argue that the alliance between Silicon Valley & the US government is a threat to democracy. The Republican tax bill now up in the Senate, which would ban states from regulating AI for a decade, will only cement that trajectory. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

NIH grant terminations under Trump have totaled at least $1.8 billion, analysis finds Researchers calculated that $1.8 billion in National Institutes of Health grants were terminated in just over one month

In the short run, loss of America’s appeal to scientists around the world. In the medium term, economic depression. In the long term, the US reverses its development.

I’ve worked at all of the PBS and NPR stations in LA: @kcrw.com @laist.com KLCS and KCET (pbs SoCal+). Often these outlets were the only ones willing to report the stories that corporate media–fearing offending advertisers–wouldn’t touch.
This is a tragedy for journalism and the public.
