One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.
They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

MIT Tech Review's 10 Climate Tech Companies To Watch is always worth a read. This year, I was lucky enough to write about one - Kairos. No flashy fusion gadgets or improbable designs, just a sensible, safer fission reactor that could make a real difference.

The irony of villainy of Portland is that in many ways Portland represents a lot of classic Americana.
Lot of small businesses? Check.
Neighborhoods where people can just like, walk around? Check.
Beautiful parks? Check.
