The LAPD Chief has weighed in on Marines being deployed.

Basically: Why is this necessary?

A press release from the Los Angeles Police Department dated June 9, 2025, titled “LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell Responds to Possible Deployment of Marines to Los Angeles” (Document ID: NR25120wc).

The statement reads:

“The LAPD has not received any formal notification that the Marines will be arriving in Los Angeles. However, the possible arrival of federal military forces in Los Angeles—absent clear coordination—presents a significant logistical and operational challenge for those of us charged with safeguarding this city. The Los Angeles Police Department, alongside our mutual aid partners, have decades of experience managing large-scale public demonstrations, and we remain confident in our ability to do so professionally and effectively. That said, our top priority is the safety of both the public and the officers on the ground. We are urging open and continuous lines of communication between all agencies to prevent confusion, avoid escalation, and ensure a coordinated, lawful, and orderly response during this critical time.”
Signed:
— Chief Jim McDonnell, Los Angeles Police Department

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Ramps designed for wheelchair users should have landings, especially when they lead to a door.

Since 1979 volunteers in Fort Wayne have been reading the newspaper and magazines and broadcasting them for people who have difficulty reading print. This has always been aired over specialized technology, but now it’s freely available on PBS 39.6! No extra equipment or internet required #disability

Moo.

Text reads: I want to be rich enough to own ornamental cattle. People will ask me if my cows are for meat or for milk and I will say no they are for display. These are display cows. Picture below the text shows a herd of cattle facing the camera, on a bright green pasture with mountains in the background.

Not only do PBS & WBOI keep Fort Wayne connected and informed, but without them the Allen County Public Library’s Audio Reading Service would not be able to provide audio access to printed information for people who have visual, physical, learning, or other barriers to reading independently.

Why do birds help predict bee richness beyond land covers? Birds complement satellites by indicating small habitat features like flowering shrubs and land management practices. Together with land covers, they add insight to wild bee conservation science. 🐤+🛰️=🐝
