When the #MississippiRaids played out at poultry and other food-processing plants across the state, 12-year-old Juana had just started her second day of 6th grade. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Federal immigration agents with guns had burst into the Koch Foods Inc. chicken processing plant where Juana's parents work and fastened plastic zip ties to their wrists before packing them onto buses and hauling them off. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Juana and her brother did not find out about the raid until that afternoon, when their uncle checked them out of school at the end of sixth period. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
About 36 hours after the raids, Juana still did not know where federal agents had taken her parents — Guatemalans who have lived and worked in the small Deep South town of Morton for about eight years. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Landlords are facing serious competition for tenants who can rent L.A.’s most expensive apartments, and new projects now come loaded with amenities previously unheard of in most buildings. lat.ms/2KtdUcl
In a new DTLA apartment complex, residents can be found washing their furry friends in a dog park that has separate runs for large and small breeds. It's just one of the tenant amenities at the towering Circa complex. 📸: @GenaroMolina47 lat.ms/2KtdUcl
Life at the Circa complex also includes heated gazebos, barbecue stations with tables for group get-togethers, a lap pool for working out and a round pool with lush blue cabanas. 📸: @GenaroMolina47 lat.ms/2KtdUcl

Trump abandoned his efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, but many fear that irreparable damage has been done. Officials are bracing for a record undercount, especially among Latino children. @kurtisalee and @sandhya__k explain: lat.ms/2MIZWVk
For decades, the U.S. Census Bureau struggled to count children under five. The problem is more severe for Latino children, who accounted for 40% of kids under 5 missed in the last tally. lat.ms/2MIZWVk
The impacts of another undercount will be far-reaching. Census data is used to distribute nearly $900 billion in annual federal funding. Latino children, who disproportionately live in poverty, are among the most in need of help. 📸: Callaghan O'Hare lat.ms/2MIZWVk

Cliff collapse is already one of California’s hidden dangers. Then there’s the sea level rise factor. lat.ms/2YWxuWG
In Encinitas, a 30-foot-by-25-foot section of a bluff collapsed, sending a massive, hot-tub-size chunk of sandstone plummeting to the sand below. lat.ms/2yOilb3
The bottoms of cliffs are being hammered by waves as the sea rises higher and faster along the California coast. latimes.com/sealevelrise

Allow me to coin the phrase, “Armchair Dirty Harry” to describe the naive fantasy of the “good guy with a gun.”

In his fantasy, #ArmchairDirtyHarry strolls calmly into a hail of bullets, sending the bad guys sprawling from the force of his high-powered firearm.
In an *actual* firefight, #ArmchairDirtyHarry’s fantasy meets reality. Our wannabe hero knows walking into a hail of bullets is suicide.

Heroism in situations like #ElPaso rarely, if ever, involves the gun-toting citizen. The armchair hero believes GOP propaganda, not his eyes.
#HeroesOfElPaso saved lives.

They didn’t walk into a hail of bullets, they risked their lives getting customers and employees out of Walmart. And then they continued helping where they could.

So where was #ArmchairDirtyHarry?

Pastor Michael Grady, just talked with Anderson Cooper on @AC360. He was breathtakingly good. His daughter, Michelle, was severely wounded at the WalMart in #ElPasoShooting. She's in critical.
A big man with a generous manner, he spoke about her, his wife, the shooting.
1/
Grady has the imposing manner of a black preacher--you can tell he gives a powerful sermon. Grady also spoke about Trump & how lacking in passion his speech on hate was. He said, "Words matter. How you use your words matters." He said words can be healing, but Trump's weren't.
2/
Grady talked about how there have been no consequences to these shootings. Of Trump he said once words are out there you can't take them back. he said "words of divisiveness and hatred matter. You don't know who will receive them or how they will be received."

Interesting in that it freezes the government assets but stops short at the private sector....
Ok, yeah, I get it. Chevron.

The officials would not provide details of how Hamza bin Laden died or if the U.S. played a role. It is unclear if Washington has confirmed his death.

#10YearsOfLostInTheMovies begins right now - a 100-day trip through my archive leading to July 16, 2018, the 10th anniversary of my site. I will share 10 posts each day, moving chronologically from 2008 to the present. Hope this provides an interesting way to explore my work.
I will thread the links so you can scroll around, hopefully pretty seamlessly (though of course Twitter is not always great at handling this type of navigation). When there are interesting images to incorporate, I’ll add them in a subsequent tweet.
As a disclaimer I certainly don’t always stand by everything I wrote years or even a decade ago; opinions change and I may also have written something differently than I do now. In various ways I’ve changed over the years though I’m still happy with most what I’ve published.
