Is anyone going to the protest today?? If so wanna link up? I’m legit the only person in my circle going Either way i’ll see you there! ✊🏼

Sorry I didn't film the full length of the march, I cut it about 1/3 of the way through because I had to make my way to city hall. Panning shots of the crowd were taken while marchers were still filing in but near the peak.

50501 Los Angeles, 50501 Inland Empire, 50501 San Diego, 50501 Orange County, and 50501 Ventura County in partnership with Hands Off/Fight Back Table and countless local organizations and coalitions turned OUT today! Find your local 50501 group and GET TO THE STREETS WITH THEM 📢

I was at a friend’s last night in the West Hills area and we sat outside. I’ve discovered at least 6 bites on my legs despite being fully covered. Stay safe out there!

Happen to have a good view of this. Grabbed a few snaps.

In downtown Los Angeles, props at an evening anti-Trump protest included a 15-foot-tall helium-filled balloon of Trump’s likeness in a Russian military uniform.

The protest is part of nationwide “Hands Off!” protests against the Trump administration’s steep cuts to federal programs, mass firings and a slew of tariff hikes.

Good reporting from Stephanie Breijo on the Los Angeles Times food beat, including insights into the relationship between the longtime family owners of the real estate and Papa Cristo's Chrys family, concerns about import tariffs cutting into the market's slim bottom line, and the hint of some new manifestation of Papa Cristo's on the far side of the May 4 closure. I'm quoted on the rash of legacy restaurant closures in the city, and ways this and other vulnerable landmarks might be saved.
