#OtD 21 Jul 1936 this iconic photo of 17-year-old socialist Marina Ginestà was taken by Hans Gutmann after the start of the Spanish civil war. She was a journalist and translator who was given the rifle to pose with. She survived the war. More in our pod: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e39-th…
Hunter Biden just went off on the Democratic Party: "Fuck him and everybody around him... George Clooney is not a fucking an actor. He's a brand." "James Carville hasn't won a race in 40 fucking years." "David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack…
Is the country of Germany a protected class? How is this hate?

Unlike her hourly workers, she’s a wealthy nepo baby who’s never had to struggle to live in the state. You’re not a victim, you’re just greedy.
In-n-Out President Lynsi Snyder reveals for the first time that she and her family are LEAVING California for Tennessee. “Raising a family is not easy here,” she told me. “Doing business is not easy here.” After 77 years, In-n-Out HQ will say goodbye to its home state and set…

A dumb little publicity stunt that I wrote about briefly here: joeyscott.xyz/flag-and-pony-…
People ask for it, we make it happen. The #PremierSector all over #LosAngeles, looking for those criminal aliens. Ready for anything, ready at all times✅ #CBP #DHS #USBP #BorderPatrol #MacArthurPark #OpAtLarge
For a story: anyone teargassed in LA/Camarillo the last month, either at the protest or living next to them, still dealing with the negative health impacts after their deployment? Did it cause asthma attacks or hospital visits? Signal joeyscott.05
This Casey Wasserman? The guy who flew on Epstein’s plane at least 10 times Casey Wasserman?
Angelenos come together to help each other out, it's what we do. Thank you to Disney, Netflix, Wasserman, Hilton, Annenberg and so many others for donating millions of dollars to relief funds. And this is just the start. Together, we will rebuild a stronger Los Angeles.
In my 10 years covering this topic, I have not spoken to a single person who has experienced ICE detention who hasn’t been traumatized by it. Some I have written about have not even survived ICE detention.
ICE’s detention standards are among the highest in the nation. Detention isn’t a punishment. We detain removable aliens while they await final removal proceedings.
This “colossal fiasco” could kill Measure J and millions in funding for LA’s Black and brown communities. Measure J has already pumped $700 million into housing and mental health programs. But a drafting oversight threatens to kill the measure in 2028. lapublicpress.org/2025/07/measur…

She walked out of her immigration hearing smiling — papers in hand, standing tall. She had no idea the man waiting in the hallway was ICE. No idea she was about to be detained. This is happening inside NYC’s immigration courts. Every day. #ICE
I always forget he's still alive, and then I'm reminded that only the good die young.
My world-famous Tent City Jail is back in the news thanks to Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz!" I have a response to the news media who are criticizing my Tent City Jail and "Alligator Alcatraz:" As a boy scout and volunteer for the US Army, I am knowledgeable of tents, and as the…
Los Angeles reporter friends, JD Kelly (@jeffreydavidkellymusic on IG) needs your help. Do you have footage of him getting knocked off his BMX bike while reporting on the No Kings Day protest in Grand Park on 6/14? He's just out of frame in this clip. instagram.com/reel/DML0371hI…
LA bus operators vow to shut doors on ICE to keep immigrant riders safe. Bus operators and riders aren’t waiting on Metro to enact protections for immigrants, they’re sharing know-your-rights information and shielding riders from ICE. lapublicpress.org/2025/07/la-bus…
Great overview by @mariana_dale @laist about @LASchools' spotty public records response history, including FAC's reply to the district's demand for $8,000 to search for records requested by @hollymcdede: laist.com/brief/news/edu…
