On this day 49 years ago, former Times journalist Ruben Salazar was killed after being struck by a tear-gas projectile thrown inside the Silver Dollar Bar by an L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy. Salazar was killed while covering the Chicano Moratorium. lat.ms/2zAPGqh
The Sheriff’s Department called his death a tragic accident. Records obtained by The Times and interviews with Salazar’s friends show that he clashed repeatedly with the LAPD as the Mexican American civil rights movement roiled L.A.'s Eastside.
latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
Through his death, Salazar became an iconic figure. Parks, schools and a U.S. Postal Service stamp bear his name. He instantly became a martyr for the Chicano civil rights movement. And he became a lasting inspiration for a generation of Latino journalists who followed.

Seniors are perhaps the most vulnerable to California’s rising rents and evictions of any age group, disproportionately impacted by no-fault evictions. The threat of displacement and loss of community can take a mental and physical toll on seniors. lat.ms/2NDF1U9
Even when not facing eviction, seniors who depend on fixed incomes have a harder time weathering rent increases, even modest rises allowed under rent control. In 2016, 41.6% of renters 80 or older paid more than half their income on housing. 📸: @LizMoughon
Rent hikes have been blamed for driving people of all ages into homelessness, but living on the streets can be particularly traumatic for seniors. In 2018, the tally of homeless people 62 and older in the greater L.A. area surged 22%, to nearly 5,000. lat.ms/2NDF1U9

U.S. officials claim that Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign of economic sanctions against Iran does not affect ordinary Iranians. However, the sanctions have been felt heavily on the streets of Iran. A report from @melissaetehad and @rmost12: lat.ms/344bokE
Iran’s most vulnerable citizens are suffering the brunt of a drop in foreign investments and oil exports, massive inflation, a plummeting currency and rising prices for food, clothing and medicine. 📸: Atta Kenare/AFP/Getty Images lat.ms/344bokE
No longer able to afford fresh food, some Iranians in middle-class neighborhoods have resorted to buying rotting tomatoes, grapes, apples and peaches that grocery store salesmen put aside every day at dusk. 📸: Atta Kenare/AFP/Getty Images lat.ms/344bokE

Trump is basically implying that identitarian bonds with foreign nations should be stronger than the bond of citizenship to the pluralistic democracy you belong to.
Jewish Americans are far from the only ones who have felt their identities as loyal citizens being challenged: latimes.com/politics/story…
Connecting with this theme, I notice this nonsense about buying Greenland has not included literally any idle thought about throwing a couple senators their way, because that would imply an intent to make the people who actually live there into rightful partners in the republic.

‼️Trump tears at the very fabric of our society by dividing us, dehumanizing us, inflaming hate, inciting violence— his hateful & abusive rhetoric leaves us horrified & most importantly makes us less safe.

Trump Signs Bill Revoking Obama-Era Gun Checks for People With Mental Illnesses
The new law nullifies an Obama-backed rule that added people with mental illnesses to the national background check database.

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/t…
PBO recommended the now-nullified regulation in a 2013 memo following the mass shooting at Sandy Hook School, which left 20 first graders and six others dead. The measure sought to block some people with severe mental health problems from buying guns.

President Trump’s choice of a Republican congressman with little national security experience to serve as his top intelligence advisor is another step in his slow-motion purge of administration officials who offer facts that challenge his worldview. latimes.com/politics/story…
Senate Republicans have given a tepid response to Rep. Ratcliffe, who has not been formally nominated.

“I haven’t met him yet,” Sen. McConnell said when asked if he was qualified. latimes.com/politics/story…
President Trump removed any doubt about why he chose Rep. Ratcliffe.

Intelligence agencies have "run amok" and Ratcliffe can "rein it in," he told reporters.

Dan Coats was "a little confused" when he didn't toe Trump's line. latimes.com/politics/story…
