Sitting next to each other in court, @keribla and I realized we were both after the same story. Why compete when we could do more impactful work together? Thanks to @LAPublicPress, @latimes and our kickass attorney @SusanESeager for this partnership 🙏🏾 lapublicpress.org/2024/09/diana-…

hi, quick question about your reporting process. why did you accept hacked private information from someone who is a well-known, public-facing eugenicist and not even disclose his identity to your readers?

These LA immigrant rights activists say the FBI are targeting them. FBI agents arrested a longtime LA immigrant rights activist this month and seized another organizer’s phone. The latest actions targeted members of Centro CSO. lapublicpress.org/2025/07/la-imm…
