You should absolutely subscribe to Sean's LA Ten Four newsletter if you already haven't. This is what I mean by indie journalists doing such vital work. A heartbreaking, brutal read.

NEW for the Ten Four: The Adelanto ICE Processing Center and its conditions inside are the subject of dozens of concerning stories, but rarely is there an opportunity to actually talk to those inside the facility. I was able to get inside (kind of). latenfour.com/2025/11/06/i...

As always, your support means *so much* to me while I try to scrape rent and food money together. A little means a lot, and if you can’t support financially please feel free to repost. You can subscribe on my site or contribute to Venmo here: venmo.com/u/ACatWithNews latenfour.com

Please, support your local indies and freelance journalists. Subscribe to their newsletters, share their work, and, if you can, help them survive. So many are consistently doing incredible, vital work and get paid scraps or less.

But most of the freelance/independent reporters I know (myself included) are either facing homelessness directly in the face, have been homeless or are already homeless. Most work 50+ hours a week. Support the outlets, but also support your local indies.
