The city of Los Angeles plans to file an appeal against a sweeping order by a federal judge that demanded urgent action to get people off skid row, according to court papers filed Friday.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The preliminary injunction from Judge David O. Carter calls for the city and county of L.A. to offer housing or shelter to everyone on skid row by the middle of October. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
It also requires the city to put $1 billion in escrow — roughly the sum that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti had pledged would go to homelessness initiatives in his upcoming budget. latimes.com/homeless-housi…
The legal documents filed as of midday Friday do not lay out an argument against the judge’s order, but Garcetti and other city officials have publicly challenged the feasibility of putting aside $1 billion.

When museums and galleries across California were shuttered in coronavirus closures, a dangerous invader penetrated the @GettyMuseum in Brentwood.

And it was hungry. latimes.com/entertainment-…
As if COVID-19 shutdowns & the financial fallout weren’t enough, an uptick in unwanted pests afflicted museums globally during the pandemic. Empty museum galleries provided ideal environments for them👀 Getty Museum was in the first wave of 2020 closures: latimes.com/entertainment-…
The Getty’s bug battle involved:
6,000 hours of work.
Dental picks.
A freezer truck.
And squirrel-hair dusters. 🐿️

There have been reports that President Biden today will declare the Ottoman Empire’s killing of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians during World War I a genocide — making him the first sitting U.S. president to do so.

@lila_seidman reports: latimes.com/california/sto…
It would be a groundbreaking act, delivering on decades of hard-fought activism by Armenians around the world.

Much of that movement has been centered in Southern California, home to America’s largest Armenian diaspora community. latimes.com/california/sto…
“All the usual emotions that accompany April 24, Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day — anger, sadness, frustration, isolation, honor and more — will be on display Saturday, but this year in an intensified fashion,” writes @michaelkrik. latimes.com/opinion/story/…

In the Mexican town of Aguililla, where eight headless bodies were dumped a few weeks ago, trapped residents described a community living in terror of armed thugs who stroll the streets and shoot at one another.

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
At the root of the mayhem is a struggle for control of a large segment of the narcotics trade in strife-ridden Michoacán state, and a government that has been powerless to prevent cartels from taking over large swaths of the nation.

latimes.com/world-nation/s…
In recent years, Aguililla, population 15,000, branched out from tomato farming, cattle ranching and marijuana cultivation to become a strategic hub for the manufacture of methamphetamine bound for the booming U.S. market.

Weaverville, a California lumber town, has repeatedly bounced back from adversity — fires, economic downtowns, COVID-19. Like the town, high school athlete Chase Kirby is a survivor. latimes.com/california/sto…
In early February, Kirby was at his 5 a.m. shift at the local sawmill. When a few pieces of wood got stuck a rotating conveyor belt, he grabbed one as the machine grabbed it, too. In an instant, the machine had his arm and was yanking him forward. latimes.com/california/sto…
Weaverville, an old Gold Rush town, is four hours north of San Francisco. The area is so synonymous with the forest that the Trinity County Board of Supervisors last year considered formally making it a crime to kill Bigfoot. latimes.com/california/sto…
