#latimes — Public Fediverse posts

The Los Angeles times is finally reporting on the leaked LAPD documents released by Worldleaks a couple weeks ago. The story explains how the records reveal that the bomb squad officers responsible for blowing up a whole street in South Los Angeles were all found to be culpable but received only minimal punishments consisting of only very short suspensions.

As usual with mainstream reporting on ransomware leaks, the Times quoted but does not publish the actual records. But don't worry! We got you! Read the story and then read the records. Also, we have actual audio files of internal affairs interviews with the bomb squad members and other stuff.

Los Angeles Dodgers say they denied ICE agents entry to Dodger Stadium

Baseball team says ICE agents were denied permission to access parking lots but agency claims agents ‘were never there’

Victoria Bekiempis and agencies
Thu 19 Jun 2025 19.36 EDT

"Kevin Takumi, a videographer and photographer for Fox’s #LosAngeles affiliate, posted aerial video on X showing several vans and SUVs, and apparent #immigration officers, around entrances to the stadium.

“ICE agents are taking up positions at the entrances to #DodgerStadium, media and crowd beginning to arrive,” Takumi wrote.

[...] the #Dodgers beat writer for the #LATimes, said on X: “Regarding the photos going around on social media this morning about #ICE agents at Dodger Stadium: sources say ICE agents tried to access Dodger Stadium today, but were denied entry to the grounds by the team.”"

Federal agents denied entry to Dodger Stadium parking lot, sparking new outrage over #Trump sweeps

from #LATimes #LosAngelesTimes
Terry Castleman, Jack Harris
Thu, June 19, 2025 at 2:07 PM EDT

"In photos posted on social media Thursday, a procession of vehicles appeared to attempt to enter #DodgerStadium through the ballpark’s main Sunset Gate off Vin Scully Avenue around 8 a.m. However, they were prevented from passing through a security checkpoint leading to the parking lot.

The caravan then relocated to the stadium’s Downtown Gate near the 110 Freeway. Dozens of vehicles gathered outside a closed parking lot fence, according to witnesses, before many began dispersing.

Later in the morning, several dozen protesters gathered near what remained of the agents, who stood around three unmarked SUVs closer to the stadium’s entry gates but still outside the stadium parking lot."

“A human writer will present one side of a debate, AI will present the other, and readers, seeing the multitude of perspectives represented, will trust the L.A. Times more and pay up. Or, politicians from across the political spectrum will recognize that the L.A.Times is treating them all fairly and never complain about coverage again”_

Righteous: "But the cost of alliance with an important national institution that has such an important role to play in pushing back against authoritarian rule, but declines to do so for spurious and selfish reasons, feels too great. And Soon-Shiong’s conscious pattern of détente with Trump has in fact recast the paper’s core identity to one of appeasement with an authoritarian madman. I am loath to affiliate with that identity in any way." #HarryLitman

@mercnews I have digital subscriptions to LATimes, and @mercnews for that matter. The Times was once a very great paper, with many distinguished California journalists on its staff. Coverage of climate issues in the state is peerless. Its current publisher is a “friend” of wealthy whimsical gadfly Elon Musk. Pretending no bias is disingenuous for journalists. I commend Garza for standing up.
