Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters
---
Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

2/ ofc since I don't work for Wirecutter, my conclusion is a good deal more dismal than "please buy as much as you want, just be a tiny bit more selective"
most of this stuff is headed quickly to a landfill from the moment it's created. we should all buy less, buy more secondhand, repair what we can
3/ & if we live near shipping corridors, pressure officials not to chase growth over the rights and health of folks who live near the corridors
(note I said our stuff is bound to be waste from the moment it's created, not moment it's purchased. see, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/14/los-angeles-cargo-theft-union-pacific )
🌊🌿 #Marine scientists and Chumash tribal leaders are successfully restoring #California's #kelp #forests through collaborative efforts that combine traditional knowledge with modern techniques.
Researchers have achieved significant successes including an 80-acre restoration near #LosAngeles while developing kelp #farming for #carbon capture and agricultural biofertilizers that could help California reach #netzero #emissions.

Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1230
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
1053 PM EST Mon Nov 17 2025
Areas affected...portions of southern California
Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible
Valid 180353Z - 180753Z
Summary...Flash flood potential continues for at least 2-4 more
hours.
Discussion...A warm conveyor continues to spread moderate to heavy
rainfall into portions of southern California near the Los Angeles
basin and adjacent areas of the Transverse Ranges. Recent
observations suggest that 0.5 inch/hr rain rates were falling over
or very near burn scars just north of Los Angeles, suggesting
continued potential for excessive runoff and debris flows.
Mesoanalyses indicate a continued fetch of southwesterly 850mb
flow into the region oriented parallel to the coastal ranges,
supporting continued orographic enhancement of rain rates at
times. PW values near an inch and weak surface-based instability
also continue to support the convective nature of the activity and
locally heavy rain rates.
Models suggest that these rates will continue to impact burn scar
areas over the next 2-4 hours (through 07Z or so) while
translating slowly eastward. Flash flooding will remain a
possibility, though this risk should become more isolated with
time as rain rates are expected to gradually weaken.
