Horrific that Google will hide California news stories from some of its users to put pressure on state lawmakers not to pass a bill that would require it to pay journalists whose content it’s been profiting from for free for decades. latimes.com/entertainment-… via Wendy Lee

Thanks to Peso Pluma for sharing my article onstage at Coachella last night 😉

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press go hand in hand. I think we can agree that art is not a crime, and asking a question is not an indictment.

Hey Ground Game LA if you have any accountability to the left movement in LA, let Knock LA go.

Cerise Castle and the reporters MUST own the means of their own production.

We all can see when NGOs start acting just like the power players they claim to criticize. We remember.

Absolutely bananas that Ground Game LA is using this background photo and beefing with the person who has the byline for A Tradition Of Violence (@cerisecastle) at the same time.

cancelled.

I was giving them $13.12 monthly from the jump.

this feels like when L.A. Weekly was killed and reanimated by right wing OC ghouls

RIP adversarial local reporting in Los Angeles

I am going to take this weekend to recoup and be with my Knock LA colleagues. Thank you for the solidarity.

Please continue to support our call for an independent newsroom: docs.google.com/document/d/1K4…

So many people in LA have been kept safe & informed in no small part due to @Knockdotla’s dogged pursuit of accountability in the face of power over the past few years, including those of us organizing against genocide rn. This GGLA shit is bad for the industry AND the community.

Sending love to all of the incredible journalists who break the stories that matter, write with integrity, and continue to shine a light of truth in an era of deep disinformation.

what the fuck. somebody please give us money to finish building OpenPolicyForum so we can demonstrate a new model of independent funding for community-centered work free from NPIC bullshit. you can't have equity bc that's for community but we can pay interest!!

I support Knock LA journalists in their fight for unpaid labor and independent reporting

Hey Ground Game LA, if Knock LA is no longer going to conduct “independent journalism” you should update your donation page.

You are soliciting political donations under false pretenses.

you know it’s bad when people on maternity leave are hopping on here to call your ass out lol

Knock LA wants to become an independent newsroom & no longer be associated with Ground Game LA. However, GroundGame refuses to release all KnockLA assets to their newsroom.

Suspending my Patreon membership to Knock LA until Ground Game LA reverses course and explains itself. Disappointed.

.Ground Game LA this statement is embarrassingly dishonest. You're willing to lie to people so you can ride on the clout that real journalists spent years trying to build -- all to legitimize shilling for preferred candidates and gain political power.

Hard to believe that Cerise Castle endured a year of the sheriff of LA County deriding her work by calling Knock-LA a “blog”…only to have Ground Game itself decide to make it a freaking blog 🙃

I’m popping in from maternity leave because I worry if we don’t all speak up, these outlets won’t be here when I come back. News is an echo system where digital, print and television outlets all inform each other’s coverage.

These reporters have changed the game in LA.

Knock journalists are asking for people to cancel their subscription to Knock LA & instead send it to @lataco: lataco.com/join
