But the posts DHS is using to recruit ICE agents can be interpreted through a white nationalist lens. For example, the caption on the post showing settlers expanding westward, the words heritage and homeland are capitalized. “In white supremacist circles, H.H. stands for Heil Hitler,” Simi said. Also, the caption contains exactly 14 words, which is a symbolically significant number for people who follow that ideology.

There was a lot activity there, in addition to about 10 to 12 day laborers waiting for jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:02:23] And why did you want to go to to that corner?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:02:26] Yeah, so that’s where a training was gonna happen for volunteers of a program called Adopt a Day Laborer Corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Robles \u003c/strong>[00:02:37] Right, the hardest thing is always being a step ahead of this department, right, of this agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:02:42] The idea is that people who want to support folks who might be at risk of detention by immigration authorities or stops by immigration authorities and who want to just, you know, support physically often vulnerable immigrants like delivers by being there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:03:02] And yeah, I’ve definitely seen corners where, you know, day laborers are waiting for work. I haven’t seen volunteers there waiting there with them. Can you tell me a little bit more about what the volunteers were doing when you were there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I didn’t know what exactly we were going to find, but I was very curious and the reason I worked on the story was I was curious about who was getting up early in the morning to do something like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:03:28] I need to be out with the community I can’t and immigration has always been a real heartbreaker for me and it’s always been in my heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:03:37] I’m gonna only use their first names because both were afraid or concerned about negative impacts of their full names being out. So one of the volunteers I met, her name is Christy, and she’s 60 years old. She’s an interpreter. She lives in Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:03:54] So I just decided, this seems like something I can do. I’m bilingual, I can look out, I have…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:04:00] And then the other volunteer is Wendy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:04:03] Yeah, I’ve been here a few times. This will be my second week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:04:10] And it was really interesting because Wendy works in public health, she actually lives nearby and she said she’d been you know spending time in the mornings there bringing her knitting and like chatting with with workers while she sat there. Both of them spoke Spanish you know they’re you know white American ladies who speak Spanish and so they felt like their jobs were either flexible enough in schedule or they could make time in a morning before their jobs to show up and do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:04:41] I’m not much of one for writing letters or emailing or calling, but this is something I can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:04:49] Can you tell me a bit more about why they said they were out there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:04:53] So I think both of these women were really activated by the recent bystander videos we’ve seen of federal agents detaining people in the Los Angeles area and nearby counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:05:10] You know, watching what was going on in LA just broke my heart. It’s like, how can I, you know, be of service for a community?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:05:18] And then, especially, Christy talked about how she was really distressed by videos of immigration agents violently detaining people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:05:29] I believe in social justice. I believe in right and wrong and I can’t sit on my hands and say that’s wrong without doing something about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:05:43] And this call that they heard to adopt a day laborer corner, where did it come from? Who’s behind it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:05:50] Yeah, so there’s been an organization for a long time called the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. They’re based in Southern California, but they’re national. They have, I think, dozens of organizations like Street Level Health Project in Oakland that are part of this network. And so what they told me is that for years they’ve encouraged people to sort of make neighbors, employers, other folks to make a connection with these day laborers, you know, and like bring them coffee or not be afraid to chat with them outside of, you know, work projects. When the LA immigration operations started really heating up in the summer, they sort of formalized that initiative and made it into this Adopt a Corner program. They said they got like thousands of people, you know, attending their trainings, and so they’ve had a massive spike in interest, you now, to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:06:53] So say I decide to adopt a coroner. Is the goal for me if I see an ICE raid happening or if I see ICE coming to stop that from happening or to stop someone from being detained, what exactly is the goal?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:07:08] No, that is not the goal. The main goal is just to first monitor what’s happening. What we’ve seen with immigration enforcement is often they don’t have identification that says immigration or ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Robles \u003c/strong>[00:07:26] When it comes to adopt a corner, your position is more as a watch out. We want you to be very aware of your surroundings and very vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:07:36] Steve Robles is with Street Level Health Project, which is an organization, I think their office is in the Fruitvale. Steve was talking to the volunteers about what they were expected to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Robles \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] One thing that we’ve noticed is if a truck is large enough to have people standing up in the back, that’s a big red flag because what they’re doing is these raids happen in maybe five minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:08:03] He told them that ICE arrests, especially in public places, can happen very quickly. And their job as volunteers is to, as soon as they spot, you know, this kind of activity happening or something they suspect, this, you know immigration enforcement showing up, to call a number that alerts a wider network of immigrant advocates and lawyers, and at the same time to try to document what’s happening with their cell phones. After arrests happen, people need to figure out who was arrested, you know, and then try to alert the relatives. So there’s that kind of gathering of information that will help later on. It’s getting maybe legal help to people who need it, alerting relatives or friends about what’s happened and that kind stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:08:59] So really like serving as a witness and then helping to activate a chain of events that might allow someone to get more resources and more help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:09:16] For the day laborers themselves, seeing these volunteers, how does that make them feel? Do they feel safer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:09:34] At first people are like who are these folks you know why are you just standing there and then the day laborers felt like well I mean it’s another pair of eyes right that is here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julio \u003c/strong>[00:09:45] It’s good that they live here because it’s more protected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:09:49] It feels like there’s more people besides the workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julio \u003c/strong>[00:09:53] There’s more people, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:09:54] Julio is a day laborer, originally from Honduras, because of his immigration status, we’re not using his full name. He’s been in the States for a long time, and mostly works construction, landscaping jobs, but he says he comes to this particular corner in Oakland, you know, when he’s done with those jobs and is in between jobs, to try to supplement his income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:10:22] You have to be careful because you don’t know what’s going to happen. You have a suspicious car coming. We’re all there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:10:32] He was very vigilant while we were talking. A lot of these, I think the immigration enforcement in Southern California has really made these folks who were already concerned about ICE agents showing up be even more worried about that. And because of the nature of their job, I mean, you have like vehicles coming up to them and then a potential employer asking who wants to work, explaining about the terms for the project. But when new people approach, they’re trying to figure out if it’s safe to even come close to that vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:09] Yeah, I mean, it sounds incredibly stressful. And I imagine Julio has so many other things going on, you know, trying to get work and, you know trying to also stay in the country. I wonder what is his most pressing need as a day laborer? And like, are initiatives like Adopt a Corner helping him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:11:30] We’ll see you know what the impact is but for day laborers I mean they’re out there because they need the work. They need to make money they need to pay rent they need to they often send money back to their home countries to their families Julio said he was like sending money to his daughter he’s you know in college in Honduras so I think their most pressing needs remain the same which is you know like make a living. Even though we’ve heard that the number of day laborers definitely went down in these very public spaces, you know, many still need to like make money so they have to come out. And here in Northern California, we have not seen that level of immigration enforcement that we’ve seen in LA. But there’s definitely a sense that people are watching and they’re trying to prepare. And so I think the volunteers I spoke with felt like this was something that they could start doing now to build those relationships, figure out what corner they’re going to be in, and then if needed, they’ll be there. So I think a lot of this is a lot preparation in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:12:44] Yeah, yeah. Sort of picking up on that, you know, on the other side of it, you know, people watching all these things happening, seeing all these viral videos. There have been different responses to it. We’ve seen huge protests in the Bay Area all across California. I’m wondering how you see a program like this, you know, fitting into, like, the broader efforts around, like responding to what’s happening around immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:13:10] I think there’s a lot of organizing and trying to reach out to different people that are interested in getting involved. And so I think that there’s been a little more urgency. With this program, in particular, what the volunteers told me is they needed another avenue to feel like they could do something that they believe will help the broader community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:13:40] It helps to be actually doing a thing and even if it’s only a little bit useful, you know, because me being here, is that going to prevent people getting picked up by ICE if ICE shows up? Probably not, but we can mitigate some of the harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:13:53] For Wendy, that was a way to show solidarity. She also lives in the neighborhood, and so these folks are part of her community in a way. She sees them all the time as she’s going to work. And so for her, it was like going a step beyond and spend time at the corner, observing and just monitoring for things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:14:17] There’s so much going on, but you have to find something. It’s important. We got to take, we have to take care of ourselves. You know, it’s only us.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You have to look at a car that comes in, it’s suspicious, we’re all there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:00:17] This is Julio. He’s a day laborer in Oakland. On some mornings, he stands on a corner waiting for someone to offer him work. It could be in landscaping or construction, but he’s really not picky. He’ll do most work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julio \u003c/strong>[00:00:37] Whatever, whatever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:00:43] Julio’s already in a vulnerable position. He’s standing outside on a public corner, waiting to interact with strangers. But these days, it’s even more dangerous because many day laborers, including Julio, are undocumented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Newsreel \u003c/strong>[00:01:00] This cell phone video shows another raid. This happened at a Home Depot in Westlake. Now agents pulled up in unmarked vans and you can see the panic and the fear in the streets among the street vendors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:01:12] An increase in ICE activity has also led to a lot more fear among day laborers like Julio. But volunteers are responding. They’re showing up to those same street corners to keep watch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:01:29] I believe in social justice, I believe right and wrong, and I can’t sit on my hands and say that’s wrong without doing something about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:01:41] Today, why volunteers are adopting street corners for day laborers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:01:56] So I went to this intersection in East Oakland in the morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:02:07] It’s really busy, you know. There’s a lot of parents walking their kids to a nearby school, people waiting for the bus. It was a U-Haul parking lot.

I haven’t seen volunteers there waiting there with them. Can you tell me a little bit more about what the volunteers were doing when you were there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I didn’t know what exactly we were going to find, but I was very curious and the reason I worked on the story was I was curious about who was getting up early in the morning to do something like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:03:28] I need to be out with the community I can’t and immigration has always been a real heartbreaker for me and it’s always been in my heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:03:37] I’m gonna only use their first names because both were afraid or concerned about negative impacts of their full names being out. So one of the volunteers I met, her name is Christy, and she’s 60 years old. She’s an interpreter. She lives in Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:03:54] So I just decided, this seems like something I can do. I’m bilingual, I can look out, I have…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:04:00] And then the other volunteer is Wendy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:04:03] Yeah, I’ve been here a few times. This will be my second week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:04:10] And it was really interesting because Wendy works in public health, she actually lives nearby and she said she’d been you know spending time in the mornings there bringing her knitting and like chatting with with workers while she sat there. Both of them spoke Spanish you know they’re you know white American ladies who speak Spanish and so they felt like their jobs were either flexible enough in schedule or they could make time in a morning before their jobs to show up and do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:04:41] I’m not much of one for writing letters or emailing or calling, but this is something I can do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:04:49] Can you tell me a bit more about why they said they were out there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:04:53] So I think both of these women were really activated by the recent bystander videos we’ve seen of federal agents detaining people in the Los Angeles area and nearby counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:05:10] You know, watching what was going on in LA just broke my heart. It’s like, how can I, you know, be of service for a community?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:05:18] And then, especially, Christy talked about how she was really distressed by videos of immigration agents violently detaining people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Christy \u003c/strong>[00:05:29] I believe in social justice. I believe in right and wrong and I can’t sit on my hands and say that’s wrong without doing something about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:05:43] And this call that they heard to adopt a day laborer corner, where did it come from? Who’s behind it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:05:50] Yeah, so there’s been an organization for a long time called the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. They’re based in Southern California, but they’re national. They have, I think, dozens of organizations like Street Level Health Project in Oakland that are part of this network. And so what they told me is that for years they’ve encouraged people to sort of make neighbors, employers, other folks to make a connection with these day laborers, you know, and like bring them coffee or not be afraid to chat with them outside of, you know, work projects. When the LA immigration operations started really heating up in the summer, they sort of formalized that initiative and made it into this Adopt a Corner program. They said they got like thousands of people, you know, attending their trainings, and so they’ve had a massive spike in interest, you now, to show up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:06:53] So say I decide to adopt a coroner. Is the goal for me if I see an ICE raid happening or if I see ICE coming to stop that from happening or to stop someone from being detained, what exactly is the goal?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:07:08] No, that is not the goal. The main goal is just to first monitor what’s happening. What we’ve seen with immigration enforcement is often they don’t have identification that says immigration or ICE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Robles \u003c/strong>[00:07:26] When it comes to adopt a corner, your position is more as a watch out. We want you to be very aware of your surroundings and very vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:07:36] Steve Robles is with Street Level Health Project, which is an organization, I think their office is in the Fruitvale. Steve was talking to the volunteers about what they were expected to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Steve Robles \u003c/strong>[00:07:50] One thing that we’ve noticed is if a truck is large enough to have people standing up in the back, that’s a big red flag because what they’re doing is these raids happen in maybe five minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:08:03] He told them that ICE arrests, especially in public places, can happen very quickly. And their job as volunteers is to, as soon as they spot, you know, this kind of activity happening or something they suspect, this, you know immigration enforcement showing up, to call a number that alerts a wider network of immigrant advocates and lawyers, and at the same time to try to document what’s happening with their cell phones. After arrests happen, people need to figure out who was arrested, you know, and then try to alert the relatives. So there’s that kind of gathering of information that will help later on. It’s getting maybe legal help to people who need it, alerting relatives or friends about what’s happened and that kind stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:08:59] So really like serving as a witness and then helping to activate a chain of events that might allow someone to get more resources and more help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:09:16] For the day laborers themselves, seeing these volunteers, how does that make them feel? Do they feel safer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:09:34] At first people are like who are these folks you know why are you just standing there and then the day laborers felt like well I mean it’s another pair of eyes right that is here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julio \u003c/strong>[00:09:45] It’s good that they live here because it’s more protected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:09:49] It feels like there’s more people besides the workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Julio \u003c/strong>[00:09:53] There’s more people, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:09:54] Julio is a day laborer, originally from Honduras, because of his immigration status, we’re not using his full name. He’s been in the States for a long time, and mostly works construction, landscaping jobs, but he says he comes to this particular corner in Oakland, you know, when he’s done with those jobs and is in between jobs, to try to supplement his income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:10:22] You have to be careful because you don’t know what’s going to happen. You have a suspicious car coming. We’re all there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:10:32] He was very vigilant while we were talking. A lot of these, I think the immigration enforcement in Southern California has really made these folks who were already concerned about ICE agents showing up be even more worried about that. And because of the nature of their job, I mean, you have like vehicles coming up to them and then a potential employer asking who wants to work, explaining about the terms for the project. But when new people approach, they’re trying to figure out if it’s safe to even come close to that vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:09] Yeah, I mean, it sounds incredibly stressful. And I imagine Julio has so many other things going on, you know, trying to get work and, you know trying to also stay in the country. I wonder what is his most pressing need as a day laborer? And like, are initiatives like Adopt a Corner helping him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:11:30] We’ll see you know what the impact is but for day laborers I mean they’re out there because they need the work. They need to make money they need to pay rent they need to they often send money back to their home countries to their families Julio said he was like sending money to his daughter he’s you know in college in Honduras so I think their most pressing needs remain the same which is you know like make a living. Even though we’ve heard that the number of day laborers definitely went down in these very public spaces, you know, many still need to like make money so they have to come out. And here in Northern California, we have not seen that level of immigration enforcement that we’ve seen in LA. But there’s definitely a sense that people are watching and they’re trying to prepare. And so I think the volunteers I spoke with felt like this was something that they could start doing now to build those relationships, figure out what corner they’re going to be in, and then if needed, they’ll be there. So I think a lot of this is a lot preparation in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:12:44] Yeah, yeah. Sort of picking up on that, you know, on the other side of it, you know, people watching all these things happening, seeing all these viral videos. There have been different responses to it. We’ve seen huge protests in the Bay Area all across California. I’m wondering how you see a program like this, you know, fitting into, like, the broader efforts around, like responding to what’s happening around immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:13:10] I think there’s a lot of organizing and trying to reach out to different people that are interested in getting involved. And so I think that there’s been a little more urgency. With this program, in particular, what the volunteers told me is they needed another avenue to feel like they could do something that they believe will help the broader community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wendy \u003c/strong>[00:13:40] It helps to be actually doing a thing and even if it’s only a little bit useful, you know, because me being here, is that going to prevent people getting picked up by ICE if ICE shows up? Probably not, but we can mitigate some of the harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farida Jhabvala Romero \u003c/strong>[00:13:53] For Wendy, that was a way to show solidarity. She also lives in the neighborhood, and so these folks are part of her community in a way. She sees them all the time as she’s going to work. And so for her, it was like going a step beyond and spend time at the corner, observing and just monitoring for things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I’m Morgan Sung, tech journalist and your chronically online friend, here to open as many browser tabs as it takes to help you understand how the digital world affects our real lives. Except today, we aren’t opening any tabs. Instead, we’re doing another Save or Scroll. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Occasionally, while scrolling online, I come across a truly wild post, but it might not make sense to spend an entire episode talking about it. Maybe I do a little digging, and it turns out the lore behind it just isn’t compelling enough to justify a deep dive. Sometimes there’s no lore at all. Not everything online is a multi-tab journey. It can just be juicy gossip for the group chat. But that doesn’t mean that these topics aren’t worth yapping about. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So joining us today to do just that are some of my favorite group chat regulars, Daysia Tolentino and Moises Mendez II. Hey, guys. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hello. It’s good to see you. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi, thank you so much for having us. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for being here. Okay, so you’re both very accomplished internet culture journalists. Do you want to introduce yourselves? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi, my name is Moises Mendez, the second, as we are all aware now. I recently was a culture reporter at Time Magazine, and now I am a staff writer at Out Magazine, so I cover everything from movies, television, to the internet, and beyond. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yay, Daysia, what about you? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, so I’m currently working at Entertainment Weekly covering podcasts and celebrity stuff, but I historically cover internet culture and I cover the internet for my own newsletter, Yap Year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We love Yap Year here. So we are here to play a game called Save or Scroll. Save as in, when you see a post on TikTok or Instagram or X and you bookmark it because you know you’re going to want to talk about it later. And scroll as in, you keep scrolling and it disappears into the digital ether. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, we’ve each brought a handful of posts that we cannot stop thinking about. And we’re going take turns to see if they’re just for the group chat. Or if they’re actually worth a deep dive on the show. If we decide to scroll, it means we’ve talked about it, we’re moving on. If we decided to save, it means that we may hold onto the idea for a future episode. All right, any questions? How are you feeling? Are you ready? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m so ready. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I love a game, so I’m ready. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All right, let’s jump in. Daysia, what did you bring us? Tell us about the Love Island drama. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lord, I don’t know if you guys watched this most recent season of Love Island, but it was basically a mess from the start.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Love Island: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Welcome to Love Island! Warning, the following program contains love, lust, and the most attractive unemployed people you’ve ever seen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Love Island is a reality TV show that puts a bunch of singles together into a Fiji villa. And basically, everybody couples up over the course of six weeks. And people are obsessed with it because last season was the first USA version of Love Island, which originally started in the UK, to really take off. And then the issues started arising with Yulyssa Escobar getting kicked off early on the second episode of the show, due to resurfaced posts in which she says the N-word. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another contestant, Cierra Ortega, was also asked to exit the show because of an old Instagram story that she had posted in January 2024 saying the anti-Asian C-slur. And people were upset that action wasn’t taken sooner because apparently it had resurfaced earlier in the season. But essentially, Cierra came out of the villa. She made an apology. Sorry, not apology. She explicitly said it was not an apology video. It was an accountability video. And she agrees that she had to face the consequences and experience a punishment for her behavior. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was getting death threats, rape threats, and ICE threats. Um, people have called ICE on her family. You know, Cierra is a Latina woman. And she was kind of talking about while showing these screenshots, “Is this still accountability? Is it accountability that you people are still looking for?” But my question is: what is enough? What is the line of punishment when somebody does something wrong? And obviously, there’s no excuse for using racial slurs, and people do need to be held accountable for the things that they say. But that doesn’t justify the messages that she got as a result of this controversy, right? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I mean, for me at least, you know, being an Asian woman who has been literally called the slur, I do have to wonder how many of the people unleashing this vitriol are actual like allies to Asians, or it’s just easy engagement, you know? I’m like, a lot of times I’m kind of skeptical. I’m like, do you actually care about, you know, the people who were hurt by the use of this slur? Or is it just an outlet? You know what I mean? Moises, what do you think? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have only two brain cells left, so one of them is dedicated to internet, the other is dedicated to pop culture, but Love Island doesn’t fit in that. So I don’t watch Love Island. But I think that when it comes to this culture of like looking for accountability from public figures online, what is the line? Like where, like if the person is apologizing for the thing that they are being called out for. What more is next, but we’ve talked about how the accountability culture that exists online right now is more just harassment and bullying than it is people actually repenting for their sins or making any sort of tangible change. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think obviously with the calling of ICE on Cierra’s family, that to me is almost fighting racism with racism. And at that point, accountability is not the goal. And that’s how we get to a point where this idea of cancel culture or accountability has become so diluted because people would rather have blood than some sort of harm addressed and repaired. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Absolutely. So on this, do we save or do we scroll? Moises, what do you think? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I definitely think that we should save. There’s a lot to talk about, not with just this example, but there’s so many others that we can delve into. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about you, Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I definitely think that the bones of this conversation are worth saving, which is that ultimately, these internet dogpiles happen almost every week with a different person. And it’s one of those topics where we have to figure out a solution about accountability without basically telling people to die. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah. Exactly. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sorry, God forbid that’s the solution. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">God forbid we have actual change and growth. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nuance, discussion maybe? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">No, nuance on the internet? Absolutely not. I’m going with save too on this. I think we should save it. I think this is a conversation that’s going to continue happening for as long as the internet exists because no one knows how to be normal online. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay, let’s move on. Moises, tell us about Grindr and the current Grindr drama. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So Grindr is a queer social networking app, but it’s basically used as a queer hookup app or dating app. It’s a way for people to find the people closest to them, specifically queer people, but it is mainly for gay men, there are non-binary people and trans people that also exist on the app. The thing about Grindr, is that for as long as it’s been around since 2009, there has been some mess that’s going on in the background. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I wrote a story for the Atlantic about how minors are circumventing these age restrictions and finding their way onto these apps and having conversations with adults. It’s been a topic of conversation for child safety advocates about having age verification on these apps, and most recently Grinder announced that in the UK it would be implementing an age verification tool. There is a lot of conversations about whether this is actually to keep minors off the app, or another way to police queer bodies. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there’s pros and cons to this issue. The pro is that maybe it’ll be a way for kids to have a roadblock to finding their way into having conversations with adults, because there has been so many reports about Grindr in the last couple of years of minors being sexually assaulted or killed through police reports that they found. But the con is, do we want Grindr to have our data? And do we these big tech companies handling our personal information? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because in the past, Grindr has not had a really great history of handling our data. Back in 2018, they admitted to sharing users’ HIV status to third-party companies. In 2021, they were fined over $6 million in Norway due to data breaches and sharing data without users’ consents. And then 2024, a gay man who is HIV positive said that the app treated user data like a “piece of meat” after his medical data was misused by the app. There’s a lot of conversations about whether or not this is a good thing. I would like for there to not be such an easy route for children to find their way onto these apps, but then I don’t want Grindr to have my personal data and it just becomes this push and pull and we just don’t know exactly how this is gonna play out until it actually is implemented. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in the US, they said that they don’t have plans right now to implement age verification in the United States. But they said, “We’re always evaluating the best ways to ensure our app is a safe space for adults to make meaningful connections.” So who’s to say? We just have to wait and see. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">My question is, how is Grindr going to conduct these age checks? Are they going to store that information? And then, great, they’re just going to have a registry of queer people? That seems safe and very normal in this current political environment. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean, in the UK, Grindr said in their statement to me that, “Grindr will utilize age estimation and ID verification technology from FaceTech, while independently managing all data processing to ensure privacy is protected.” So it seems like there will be a third party involved, but who knows what that third party is gonna do with the personal data that’s being used. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So do we save or scroll on this story? What do you think Moises? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean, I’m definitely gonna save. It’s something that I have saved in my back pocket because I’ve followed it for years now and there’s definitely more conversations to be had. I definitely plan to speak with data privacy experts about this issue and what’s the best route forward. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about you, Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I definitely think save. I think age verification is an ongoing issue among not just people in the UK, but in the US, especially with these anti-porn laws. I mean, data privacy is such a huge topic that we kind of fail to address time and time again, especially in America. And so I think this is definitely one of those examples of why we should be paying attention to these measures to protect kids that are also putting our data at risk. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m going with save too. I think this conversation is just going to repeat itself like over and over again until the US has any kind of comprehensive data privacy policy, which, you know, who knows if we’ll ever get that? What a pipe dream. We’ll get back to more saving and more scrolling after the break. Okay, we’re back. Daysia, will you tell us about Labubu, Matcha, Dubai chocolate? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Labubu matcha Dubai chocolate. I just want to say one thing really quickly, which is that I do not subscribe to the Labubu agenda. I have not fallen for the propaganda. And I say this as a Pop Mart girlie. And for those who are unfamiliar, Pop Mart is a Chinese toy company that creates these designer figurines and toys. And Labubu is just one of the characters that have really blown up from Pop Mart. But like any fad, we got to roll everything into one thing to get as much out of a trend as possible. And so we have seen Labubu matcha Dubai chocolate. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mm-hmm. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the rise! \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For those who are uninitiated into the Labubu cult or into the Pop Mart cult, Labubus are these little plush keychains that you can clip onto your bag. It’s a cute little thing. It’s like a little plosh monster toy. I’ve seen people compare them to like beanie babies or Funko Pops or like Jelly Cats and Squishmallows. But it’s a blind box. You don’t know which one you’re going to get. You just keep buying Labubus until you get the one you want. And it like incentivizes you to buy more and more and more because you’re not trying to collect them all. You’re trying to get the one you want. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One hundred percent. So, Dubai chocolate is a trendy kind of candy right now. It is chocolate that is full of pistachios and I think phyllo dough and it has kind of taken over my For You pages and everything, but people have started to mold Dubai chocolate into the shape of a Labubu. Which, you know, Labubu is a fuzzy little monster with crazy pointy teeth. So they have created these chocolate molds in the shape of the monster and you know, added them onto like matcha shakes or matcha drinks, chocolate matcha drinks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I feel like we have these food trends and you know icon trends, if you will, every few years. Every generation has one and now we have this one. And it’s funny because I think this idea of under-consumption core really rose last year as a way to combat these really fast trends that are just clogging up the landfills. They’re taking money out of your wallets. Like it’s very easy to fall for, you know, the hot TikTok shop item of the moment that pops up on your For You page incessantly. And so I think this is a really interesting example of both the worst impulses and maybe… weirdly the best things about microtrends. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moises, what do you think of the Labubus? Are you a Labubu hater? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">See, I don’t know if you could tell I was a little quiet because I really don’t like Labubus. I’m trying to just take away that demonic energy out of my space. How long do you have them? How long til you get annoyed of them? They take up space. Like they’re not like family heirlooms that you can pass down to like generations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">How dare you! Say that to the woman with the 24-karat Labubu. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guys, can I confess something?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s my queen I love her. Oh God, don’t tell me you have one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I bought a Labubu. I was back home, I was in Queens, right? Like homeland of the Labubus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so, for journalism, right, out of curiosity, I dragged my sister to Flushing to Tangram Mall. And I was like, “For this episode, I’m going to go Labubu hunting.” My sister and I went to five locations looking for a Labubu. We went to an anime store: sold out. We went to another store: sold out. We went to the Pop Mart vending machine: gone. I go to the last stop. I’m like, “I’m going to go home if this isn’t it.” So I pull up. My sister and I were like, “Okay, they have Labubus.” I bought one. I got the one I wanted. I was delirious. I was like, “Just give, hand it to me. I’m gonna pick out an outfit.” My sister, and I bought little outfits. They were also overpriced. And I took a picture, went home, it was so adorable. And then I flew back to LA yesterday, like last night. And as I was on the plane, my sister texted me, “You left your child at home,” and just sent me a picture of the Labubu left on my parents’ dining table. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">No, you know what? No \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All that toiling, all that money wasted, and it’s just sitting in its little fake Dodger’s hat on my parents’ dining table. Anyway, that was my Labubu story. My sister and I got home and she was like, “I feel sick from consumerism.” She was like, “I need to like cleanse myself. I need touch grass.”. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s what consumerism will do to you. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exactly. That’s the moral of the story here. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So do we save or scroll on Labubus? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are scrolling, girl. In a year from now, when Labubus aren’t as crazy and hyped up, are you going to want those 50 Labubus? Scroll girl. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are you gonna do with them? Yeah. Scroll. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m I’m scrolling. I already abandoned my my Labubu child.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She can’t even take care of one Labubu, she can’t have more than one. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can’t. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The courts will let her. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I have a story for you. Are you familiar with the video game, Relooted? It’s not out yet, but I don’t know if you’ve seen drama about this. Okay, so Relooted was one of the showcase games at Summer Game Fest last month. What stands out about it is what it’s about. Basically, it’s not repatriating artifacts that were stolen from African countries and are now being held in Western museums. So it’s a puzzle game, you know, and each level you have to go into these like fictional museums and steal back these real life artifacts. So the museums in the game are fictional, but the artifacts themselves are real. And they’re like symbols of a very violent colonial history. Yeah, I guess what do you guys think of it like so far? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think it’s an interesting premise. I mean, the idea of returning artifacts back to the countries they’re from, I think, should be a no-brainer in real life, but is obviously more contentious than that in practice. I also think it could kind of raise awareness in a way about the issue if people started playing it a lot and thinking more about the actual real life situations in which, you know, artifacts are kept in colonial museums essentially. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you think Moises? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean, I’m definitely a video game person. I talk about playing Fortnite with my friends and I love a story game. And I definitely would eat this game up just because like the premise is really fun and interesting. I think there’s a lot of games that don’t really have a larger societal issue to talk about. I think it’s definitely exciting to consider. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I saw the videos of the guy presenting it, right, at Summer Game Fest. And the guy who presented the game is the game’s creative director, Ben Myers. And he’s a white South African guy. Moises is shaking his head. And so I had the same response, right? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That felt like really important information. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was like, okay, who is this guy to be the face of a game about repatriation? But it turns out he was the one to present the game because the dev team is from all over Africa, like Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe. The studio itself is based in South Africa. It turns out, he was someone to present a game because the developer who was supposed to be face of it and present, couldn’t get a visa into the United States. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so, Ben Myers, the creative director, thinks he got a visa because he has a South African passport, an Australian passport, and a British passport and he’s a white guy. And meanwhile, the developer who was denied, they said that the consulate in South Africa kind of like denied them instantly and that they approved a white visa applicant right after denying theirs. And so the game itself is an inherently like political statement, but the circumstances of the game’s debut have also been now the symbol of this cultural war. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This whole thing opens up a really interesting conversation about many things, right? Which is, first of all, South Africa is still contending with the aftermath of apartheid and to this day, right? And obviously seeing a white man from South Africa present this game, feelings toward that are obviously going to come up. And then you have this added context of, “No, actually, the person who was supposed to actually present the game was denied because of our racist visa system in America.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the layers of ultimately oppression in this are just so complex. I mean, the ultimate message of this game is talking about ownership and returning artifacts to where they are rightfully from and the people who want to share this message can’t even go to, like, conferences in the US or, you know, events to continue to share this message. So it’s just a double, like slap in the face of oppression there. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exactly. Yes. So on this, save or scroll, Moises, what do you think? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Um, I think that this is definitely a save because there definitely might be other instances like this and that are going underreported. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about you, Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m saving. I’m gonna play that game when it comes out. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m saving it, it’s called Relooted. Who knows when it’s coming out? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One day. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One day. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’ll order it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yay! Okay, I’m saving. Last story for today, Moises, tell us about what’s happening with Reddit snark pages. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So right now, a Reddit snark page is at the center of a very interesting controversy. These snark pages are dedicated to specific influencers, to gossip about them, make comments about things that they’re doing, and you know, basically just there’s a community of people who like to talk about someone. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So there’s this influencer named Adam McIntyre, he’s a drama influencer. So he basically recaps pop culture moments, he talks about other influencers and the dramas that they have going on. So Adam is an Irish influencer who came to the US to do a couple shows. He got an O1 visa, but some of the members on his Reddit snark page circulated the photo that he posted of his visa and said that he was issued an R1 visa, which is for people entering the United States to perform religious work, which is not exactly what he did. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some members of the r/AdamMcIntyre snark page reported him to ICE. So he announced that he was gonna take legal action against the Reddit snark page. And two days later, the snark page was taken down. So it is this really interesting conversation about the way that, not only snark pages, but people who are not fans of certain influencers are trying to deplatform the people that they don’t like, but they’re also trying to put them in harm’s way. Because a lot of what’s going on right now with ICE, especially in Los Angeles and across the country, is a really dangerous moment for immigrants or just people who are visiting here. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I mean, this just this whole story is like horrific because I mean we’ve heard about the ways people react to people that they don’t like or disagree with — harassing people, never okay. But sending someone hate mail is one thing and then to call ICE on them as an of violence is just on another level. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It just reminds me again of the Love Island situation. We’ve gotten to a point in internet culture where being a fan of someone or being an anti of someone rather is not enough. Hating on them and talking about them negatively is not enough. I think a lot of people think this is a freaking game and it’s not because people are already being brutalized in ICE detention centers, being held in the most inhumane conditions. And then you wanna subject people to that just because you don’t like them when they’re here legally on a work visa? And whether people understand it or not, what they’re signing up for is enacting harm on these people like Adam. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So for me, this is a save. Moises, what about you? Save or scroll? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Definitely a save, for sure.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">100% a save. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And do we have any closing thoughts on the state of the internet after this wonderful Save or Scroll session? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’ve been so tired by the internet lately because I don’t understand how people can care this much about that many people who are honestly just random people. Especially with these Love Island people. It’s like, I dunno. That pool boy is a pool boy from Florida. Yeah, I didn’t expect him to have the perfect Instagram history. Like… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, yeah. I mean, my closing thought would be that people just need to be a little bit more normal online. But given that all of these tech billionaires that own these platforms, that allow for there to be some of the worst, most vile humans to share their opinions online, uh, it’s only gonna get worse from here. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will you be going offline, will you be logging off, given everything you said? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s hard when you’re an internet culture reporter to log off. It’s almost like throwing your job away. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is. It’s physically impossible. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everybody needs a break, even if it’s a few days. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks so much for joining us. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you so much, Morgan!

I’m Morgan Sung, tech journalist and your chronically online friend, here to open as many browser tabs as it takes to help you understand how the digital world affects our real lives. Except today, we aren’t opening any tabs. Instead, we’re doing another Save or Scroll. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Occasionally, while scrolling online, I come across a truly wild post, but it might not make sense to spend an entire episode talking about it. Maybe I do a little digging, and it turns out the lore behind it just isn’t compelling enough to justify a deep dive. Sometimes there’s no lore at all. Not everything online is a multi-tab journey. It can just be juicy gossip for the group chat. But that doesn’t mean that these topics aren’t worth yapping about. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So joining us today to do just that are some of my favorite group chat regulars, Daysia Tolentino and Moises Mendez II. Hey, guys. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hello. It’s good to see you. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi, thank you so much for having us. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for being here. Okay, so you’re both very accomplished internet culture journalists. Do you want to introduce yourselves? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi, my name is Moises Mendez, the second, as we are all aware now. I recently was a culture reporter at Time Magazine, and now I am a staff writer at Out Magazine, so I cover everything from movies, television, to the internet, and beyond. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yay, Daysia, what about you? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, so I’m currently working at Entertainment Weekly covering podcasts and celebrity stuff, but I historically cover internet culture and I cover the internet for my own newsletter, Yap Year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We love Yap Year here. So we are here to play a game called Save or Scroll. Save as in, when you see a post on TikTok or Instagram or X and you bookmark it because you know you’re going to want to talk about it later. And scroll as in, you keep scrolling and it disappears into the digital ether. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, we’ve each brought a handful of posts that we cannot stop thinking about. And we’re going take turns to see if they’re just for the group chat. Or if they’re actually worth a deep dive on the show. If we decide to scroll, it means we’ve talked about it, we’re moving on. If we decided to save, it means that we may hold onto the idea for a future episode. All right, any questions? How are you feeling? Are you ready? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m so ready. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I love a game, so I’m ready. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All right, let’s jump in. Daysia, what did you bring us? Tell us about the Love Island drama. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lord, I don’t know if you guys watched this most recent season of Love Island, but it was basically a mess from the start.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Love Island: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Welcome to Love Island! Warning, the following program contains love, lust, and the most attractive unemployed people you’ve ever seen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Love Island is a reality TV show that puts a bunch of singles together into a Fiji villa. And basically, everybody couples up over the course of six weeks. And people are obsessed with it because last season was the first USA version of Love Island, which originally started in the UK, to really take off. And then the issues started arising with Yulyssa Escobar getting kicked off early on the second episode of the show, due to resurfaced posts in which she says the N-word. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another contestant, Cierra Ortega, was also asked to exit the show because of an old Instagram story that she had posted in January 2024 saying the anti-Asian C-slur. And people were upset that action wasn’t taken sooner because apparently it had resurfaced earlier in the season. But essentially, Cierra came out of the villa. She made an apology. Sorry, not apology. She explicitly said it was not an apology video. It was an accountability video. And she agrees that she had to face the consequences and experience a punishment for her behavior. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was getting death threats, rape threats, and ICE threats. Um, people have called ICE on her family. You know, Cierra is a Latina woman. And she was kind of talking about while showing these screenshots, “Is this still accountability? Is it accountability that you people are still looking for?” But my question is: what is enough? What is the line of punishment when somebody does something wrong? And obviously, there’s no excuse for using racial slurs, and people do need to be held accountable for the things that they say. But that doesn’t justify the messages that she got as a result of this controversy, right? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I mean, for me at least, you know, being an Asian woman who has been literally called the slur, I do have to wonder how many of the people unleashing this vitriol are actual like allies to Asians, or it’s just easy engagement, you know? I’m like, a lot of times I’m kind of skeptical. I’m like, do you actually care about, you know, the people who were hurt by the use of this slur? Or is it just an outlet? You know what I mean? Moises, what do you think? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have only two brain cells left, so one of them is dedicated to internet, the other is dedicated to pop culture, but Love Island doesn’t fit in that. So I don’t watch Love Island. But I think that when it comes to this culture of like looking for accountability from public figures online, what is the line? Like where, like if the person is apologizing for the thing that they are being called out for. What more is next, but we’ve talked about how the accountability culture that exists online right now is more just harassment and bullying than it is people actually repenting for their sins or making any sort of tangible change. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think obviously with the calling of ICE on Cierra’s family, that to me is almost fighting racism with racism. And at that point, accountability is not the goal. And that’s how we get to a point where this idea of cancel culture or accountability has become so diluted because people would rather have blood than some sort of harm addressed and repaired. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Absolutely. So on this, do we save or do we scroll? Moises, what do you think? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I definitely think that we should save. There’s a lot to talk about, not with just this example, but there’s so many others that we can delve into. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about you, Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I definitely think that the bones of this conversation are worth saving, which is that ultimately, these internet dogpiles happen almost every week with a different person. And it’s one of those topics where we have to figure out a solution about accountability without basically telling people to die. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah. Exactly. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sorry, God forbid that’s the solution. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">God forbid we have actual change and growth. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nuance, discussion maybe? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">No, nuance on the internet? Absolutely not. I’m going with save too on this. I think we should save it. I think this is a conversation that’s going to continue happening for as long as the internet exists because no one knows how to be normal online. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay, let’s move on. Moises, tell us about Grindr and the current Grindr drama. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So Grindr is a queer social networking app, but it’s basically used as a queer hookup app or dating app. It’s a way for people to find the people closest to them, specifically queer people, but it is mainly for gay men, there are non-binary people and trans people that also exist on the app. The thing about Grindr, is that for as long as it’s been around since 2009, there has been some mess that’s going on in the background. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I wrote a story for the Atlantic about how minors are circumventing these age restrictions and finding their way onto these apps and having conversations with adults. It’s been a topic of conversation for child safety advocates about having age verification on these apps, and most recently Grinder announced that in the UK it would be implementing an age verification tool. There is a lot of conversations about whether this is actually to keep minors off the app, or another way to police queer bodies. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there’s pros and cons to this issue. The pro is that maybe it’ll be a way for kids to have a roadblock to finding their way into having conversations with adults, because there has been so many reports about Grindr in the last couple of years of minors being sexually assaulted or killed through police reports that they found. But the con is, do we want Grindr to have our data? And do we these big tech companies handling our personal information? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because in the past, Grindr has not had a really great history of handling our data. Back in 2018, they admitted to sharing users’ HIV status to third-party companies. In 2021, they were fined over $6 million in Norway due to data breaches and sharing data without users’ consents. And then 2024, a gay man who is HIV positive said that the app treated user data like a “piece of meat” after his medical data was misused by the app. There’s a lot of conversations about whether or not this is a good thing. I would like for there to not be such an easy route for children to find their way onto these apps, but then I don’t want Grindr to have my personal data and it just becomes this push and pull and we just don’t know exactly how this is gonna play out until it actually is implemented. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in the US, they said that they don’t have plans right now to implement age verification in the United States. But they said, “We’re always evaluating the best ways to ensure our app is a safe space for adults to make meaningful connections.” So who’s to say? We just have to wait and see. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">My question is, how is Grindr going to conduct these age checks? Are they going to store that information? And then, great, they’re just going to have a registry of queer people? That seems safe and very normal in this current political environment. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean, in the UK, Grindr said in their statement to me that, “Grindr will utilize age estimation and ID verification technology from FaceTech, while independently managing all data processing to ensure privacy is protected.” So it seems like there will be a third party involved, but who knows what that third party is gonna do with the personal data that’s being used. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So do we save or scroll on this story? What do you think Moises? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean, I’m definitely gonna save. It’s something that I have saved in my back pocket because I’ve followed it for years now and there’s definitely more conversations to be had. I definitely plan to speak with data privacy experts about this issue and what’s the best route forward. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about you, Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I definitely think save. I think age verification is an ongoing issue among not just people in the UK, but in the US, especially with these anti-porn laws. I mean, data privacy is such a huge topic that we kind of fail to address time and time again, especially in America. And so I think this is definitely one of those examples of why we should be paying attention to these measures to protect kids that are also putting our data at risk. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m going with save too. I think this conversation is just going to repeat itself like over and over again until the US has any kind of comprehensive data privacy policy, which, you know, who knows if we’ll ever get that? What a pipe dream. We’ll get back to more saving and more scrolling after the break. Okay, we’re back. Daysia, will you tell us about Labubu, Matcha, Dubai chocolate? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Labubu matcha Dubai chocolate. I just want to say one thing really quickly, which is that I do not subscribe to the Labubu agenda. I have not fallen for the propaganda. And I say this as a Pop Mart girlie. And for those who are unfamiliar, Pop Mart is a Chinese toy company that creates these designer figurines and toys. And Labubu is just one of the characters that have really blown up from Pop Mart. But like any fad, we got to roll everything into one thing to get as much out of a trend as possible. And so we have seen Labubu matcha Dubai chocolate. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mm-hmm. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the rise! \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For those who are uninitiated into the Labubu cult or into the Pop Mart cult, Labubus are these little plush keychains that you can clip onto your bag. It’s a cute little thing. It’s like a little plosh monster toy. I’ve seen people compare them to like beanie babies or Funko Pops or like Jelly Cats and Squishmallows. But it’s a blind box. You don’t know which one you’re going to get. You just keep buying Labubus until you get the one you want. And it like incentivizes you to buy more and more and more because you’re not trying to collect them all. You’re trying to get the one you want. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One hundred percent. So, Dubai chocolate is a trendy kind of candy right now. It is chocolate that is full of pistachios and I think phyllo dough and it has kind of taken over my For You pages and everything, but people have started to mold Dubai chocolate into the shape of a Labubu. Which, you know, Labubu is a fuzzy little monster with crazy pointy teeth. So they have created these chocolate molds in the shape of the monster and you know, added them onto like matcha shakes or matcha drinks, chocolate matcha drinks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I feel like we have these food trends and you know icon trends, if you will, every few years. Every generation has one and now we have this one. And it’s funny because I think this idea of under-consumption core really rose last year as a way to combat these really fast trends that are just clogging up the landfills. They’re taking money out of your wallets. Like it’s very easy to fall for, you know, the hot TikTok shop item of the moment that pops up on your For You page incessantly. And so I think this is a really interesting example of both the worst impulses and maybe… weirdly the best things about microtrends. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moises, what do you think of the Labubus? Are you a Labubu hater? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">See, I don’t know if you could tell I was a little quiet because I really don’t like Labubus. I’m trying to just take away that demonic energy out of my space. How long do you have them? How long til you get annoyed of them? They take up space. Like they’re not like family heirlooms that you can pass down to like generations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">How dare you! Say that to the woman with the 24-karat Labubu. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guys, can I confess something?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s my queen I love her. Oh God, don’t tell me you have one.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I bought a Labubu. I was back home, I was in Queens, right? Like homeland of the Labubus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Okay. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so, for journalism, right, out of curiosity, I dragged my sister to Flushing to Tangram Mall. And I was like, “For this episode, I’m going to go Labubu hunting.” My sister and I went to five locations looking for a Labubu. We went to an anime store: sold out. We went to another store: sold out. We went to the Pop Mart vending machine: gone. I go to the last stop. I’m like, “I’m going to go home if this isn’t it.” So I pull up. My sister and I were like, “Okay, they have Labubus.” I bought one. I got the one I wanted. I was delirious. I was like, “Just give, hand it to me. I’m gonna pick out an outfit.” My sister, and I bought little outfits. They were also overpriced. And I took a picture, went home, it was so adorable. And then I flew back to LA yesterday, like last night. And as I was on the plane, my sister texted me, “You left your child at home,” and just sent me a picture of the Labubu left on my parents’ dining table. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">No, you know what? No \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All that toiling, all that money wasted, and it’s just sitting in its little fake Dodger’s hat on my parents’ dining table. Anyway, that was my Labubu story. My sister and I got home and she was like, “I feel sick from consumerism.” She was like, “I need to like cleanse myself. I need touch grass.”. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s what consumerism will do to you. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exactly. That’s the moral of the story here. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So do we save or scroll on Labubus? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are scrolling, girl. In a year from now, when Labubus aren’t as crazy and hyped up, are you going to want those 50 Labubus? Scroll girl. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What are you gonna do with them? Yeah. Scroll. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m I’m scrolling. I already abandoned my my Labubu child.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She can’t even take care of one Labubu, she can’t have more than one. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I can’t. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The courts will let her. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I have a story for you. Are you familiar with the video game, Relooted? It’s not out yet, but I don’t know if you’ve seen drama about this. Okay, so Relooted was one of the showcase games at Summer Game Fest last month. What stands out about it is what it’s about. Basically, it’s not repatriating artifacts that were stolen from African countries and are now being held in Western museums. So it’s a puzzle game, you know, and each level you have to go into these like fictional museums and steal back these real life artifacts. So the museums in the game are fictional, but the artifacts themselves are real. And they’re like symbols of a very violent colonial history. Yeah, I guess what do you guys think of it like so far? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think it’s an interesting premise. I mean, the idea of returning artifacts back to the countries they’re from, I think, should be a no-brainer in real life, but is obviously more contentious than that in practice. I also think it could kind of raise awareness in a way about the issue if people started playing it a lot and thinking more about the actual real life situations in which, you know, artifacts are kept in colonial museums essentially. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you think Moises? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I mean, I’m definitely a video game person. I talk about playing Fortnite with my friends and I love a story game. And I definitely would eat this game up just because like the premise is really fun and interesting. I think there’s a lot of games that don’t really have a larger societal issue to talk about. I think it’s definitely exciting to consider. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So I saw the videos of the guy presenting it, right, at Summer Game Fest. And the guy who presented the game is the game’s creative director, Ben Myers. And he’s a white South African guy. Moises is shaking his head. And so I had the same response, right? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That felt like really important information. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was like, okay, who is this guy to be the face of a game about repatriation? But it turns out he was the one to present the game because the dev team is from all over Africa, like Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe. The studio itself is based in South Africa. It turns out, he was someone to present a game because the developer who was supposed to be face of it and present, couldn’t get a visa into the United States. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And so, Ben Myers, the creative director, thinks he got a visa because he has a South African passport, an Australian passport, and a British passport and he’s a white guy. And meanwhile, the developer who was denied, they said that the consulate in South Africa kind of like denied them instantly and that they approved a white visa applicant right after denying theirs. And so the game itself is an inherently like political statement, but the circumstances of the game’s debut have also been now the symbol of this cultural war. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This whole thing opens up a really interesting conversation about many things, right? Which is, first of all, South Africa is still contending with the aftermath of apartheid and to this day, right? And obviously seeing a white man from South Africa present this game, feelings toward that are obviously going to come up. And then you have this added context of, “No, actually, the person who was supposed to actually present the game was denied because of our racist visa system in America.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the layers of ultimately oppression in this are just so complex. I mean, the ultimate message of this game is talking about ownership and returning artifacts to where they are rightfully from and the people who want to share this message can’t even go to, like, conferences in the US or, you know, events to continue to share this message. So it’s just a double, like slap in the face of oppression there. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exactly. Yes. So on this, save or scroll, Moises, what do you think? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Um, I think that this is definitely a save because there definitely might be other instances like this and that are going underreported. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What about you, Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m saving. I’m gonna play that game when it comes out. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m saving it, it’s called Relooted. Who knows when it’s coming out? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One day. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One day. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’ll order it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yay! Okay, I’m saving. Last story for today, Moises, tell us about what’s happening with Reddit snark pages. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So right now, a Reddit snark page is at the center of a very interesting controversy. These snark pages are dedicated to specific influencers, to gossip about them, make comments about things that they’re doing, and you know, basically just there’s a community of people who like to talk about someone. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So there’s this influencer named Adam McIntyre, he’s a drama influencer. So he basically recaps pop culture moments, he talks about other influencers and the dramas that they have going on. So Adam is an Irish influencer who came to the US to do a couple shows. He got an O1 visa, but some of the members on his Reddit snark page circulated the photo that he posted of his visa and said that he was issued an R1 visa, which is for people entering the United States to perform religious work, which is not exactly what he did. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some members of the r/AdamMcIntyre snark page reported him to ICE. So he announced that he was gonna take legal action against the Reddit snark page. And two days later, the snark page was taken down. So it is this really interesting conversation about the way that, not only snark pages, but people who are not fans of certain influencers are trying to deplatform the people that they don’t like, but they’re also trying to put them in harm’s way. Because a lot of what’s going on right now with ICE, especially in Los Angeles and across the country, is a really dangerous moment for immigrants or just people who are visiting here. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, I mean, this just this whole story is like horrific because I mean we’ve heard about the ways people react to people that they don’t like or disagree with — harassing people, never okay. But sending someone hate mail is one thing and then to call ICE on them as an of violence is just on another level. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It just reminds me again of the Love Island situation. We’ve gotten to a point in internet culture where being a fan of someone or being an anti of someone rather is not enough. Hating on them and talking about them negatively is not enough. I think a lot of people think this is a freaking game and it’s not because people are already being brutalized in ICE detention centers, being held in the most inhumane conditions. And then you wanna subject people to that just because you don’t like them when they’re here legally on a work visa? And whether people understand it or not, what they’re signing up for is enacting harm on these people like Adam. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So for me, this is a save. Moises, what about you? Save or scroll? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Definitely a save, for sure.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daysia? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">100% a save. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And do we have any closing thoughts on the state of the internet after this wonderful Save or Scroll session? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’ve been so tired by the internet lately because I don’t understand how people can care this much about that many people who are honestly just random people. Especially with these Love Island people. It’s like, I dunno. That pool boy is a pool boy from Florida. Yeah, I didn’t expect him to have the perfect Instagram history. Like… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah, yeah. I mean, my closing thought would be that people just need to be a little bit more normal online. But given that all of these tech billionaires that own these platforms, that allow for there to be some of the worst, most vile humans to share their opinions online, uh, it’s only gonna get worse from here. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will you be going offline, will you be logging off, given everything you said? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s hard when you’re an internet culture reporter to log off. It’s almost like throwing your job away. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is. It’s physically impossible. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daysia Tolentino:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everybody needs a break, even if it’s a few days. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Morgan Sung:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks so much for joining us. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moises Mendez II:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you so much, Morgan!

But one grocery store owner is doing more than just ringing up customers – he’s delivering food right to their doors.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Monday, state lawmakers \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12046558/california-lawmakers-approve-major-overhaul-of-landmark-environmental-law\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">passed two controversial bills\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that will overhaul the state’s landmark environmental law, known as CEQA.\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Several new state laws are taking effect Tuesday, including one meant to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.dir.ca.gov/DIRNews/2025/2025-60.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">help agency-hired domestic workers.\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The U.S. Department of Justice \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/trump-adminstration-sues-los-angeles-sanctuary-city-policies\">is suing Los Angeles\u003c/a> over its sanctuary city policies, alleging that the city’s laws “deliberately” obstruct federal immigration enforcement.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Central Valley Business Starts Food Delivery For Immigrant Community\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Inside the Dinuba Food Center, customers trickle in and out. Behind the counter is Mohmaed Saeed. He opened the store back in March. In towns like Dinuba in the Central Valley, immigrants make up much of the workforce. Now, stepped-up immigration enforcement isn’t just stoking fear, it’s threatening small businesses like Saeed’s and putting entire neighborhoods on edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With many residents worried about going to work or even in some cases, going outside at all, Saeed launched a home delivery service. He’s now making up to 40 deliveries a day, using his store’s truck and rotating staff. “I was thinking to do something. Not just for the store but for the clients, for all the neighborhood,” Saeed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saeed moved to California from Yemen when he was 13. He lived in Bakersfield, and now he’s in Fresno, where his family runs several food centers. But he opened this Dinuba store on his own. And he remembers how much the neighborhood showed up for him when he first opened. “They said, ‘We just want to help. We’re happy to see a new business here.’ I’m not going to forget that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12046558/california-lawmakers-approve-major-overhaul-of-landmark-environmental-law\">California Lawmakers Approve Major Overhaul Of Landmark Environmental Law\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After weeks of tense negotiations with Gov. Gavin Newsom, California lawmakers on Monday passed two \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12036917/bill-reform-controversial-environmental-law-faces-first-legislative-hurdle\">controversial bills\u003c/a> that promise to make big changes to the state’s landmark environmental law to boost housing and clean energy projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two bills — AB 609 from Asm. Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, and SB 607, by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco — were folded into addendums to the state budget, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/06/27/budget/\">approved Friday\u003c/a>. They both take aim at the \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/environment/ceqa\">1970 California Environmental Quality Act\u003c/a>, known as CEQA , which has been the ire of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2025/03/ceqa-infill-housing-wicks/\">housing\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/commentary/2025/06/ceqa-environmental-law-reform/\">advocates\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://lhc.ca.gov/report/california-environmental-quality-act-ceqa/\">oversight agencies\u003c/a> for years. Critics claim its ever-broadening scope and lengthy review process have slowed development and made it too expensive to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, however, reforming CEQA has been a divisive issue among state Democrats, due to its ardent support among labor, \u003ca href=\"https://ceja.org/what-we-do/green-zones/ceqa-case-studies/\">environmental\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://ceqaworks.org/\">groups\u003c/a> and others, who have heralded it as one of the \u003ca href=\"https://w.ecovote.org/california-environmental-quality-act-the-myths-vs-the-facts/\">most important tools\u003c/a> to fight pollution and sprawl.

They will have to establish, implement, and maintain an effective injury and illness prevention program (IIPP), inspect workplaces to identify, evaluate and correct potential safety hazards, and report any serious workplace injuries to Cal/OSHA. Domestic workers will also be able to access information and guidance from Cal/OSHA on how to be safe in the workplace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca style=\"font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold\" href=\"https://laist.com/news/politics/trump-adminstration-sues-los-angeles-sanctuary-city-policies\">\u003cstrong>Trump Administration Sues Los Angeles Over Its Sanctuary City Policies\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Justice is suing Los Angeles over its sanctuary city policies, alleging that the city’s laws “deliberately” obstruct federal immigration enforcement. In the lawsuit filed Monday, the department blames the ordinance for why it deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines. “Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. declared itself a sanctuary city in 2019 and enshrined its policies into law last year. The declaration does not allow the city to cooperate with federal agents and prohibits federal agents from using city resources — staff and property — for immigration enforcement. “Trump is tearing families apart and he’s trying to force every city and town to help him carry out his white nationalist agenda,” L.A. City Council member Hugo Soto-Martinez said. “The lawsuit gets one thing right. We refuse to stand by and let Donald Trump deport innocent families. We’re going to do everything within our power to keep families together.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Behind the counter is Mohmaed Saeed. He opened the store back in March. In towns like Dinuba in the Central Valley, immigrants make up much of the workforce. Now, stepped-up immigration enforcement isn’t just stoking fear, it’s threatening small businesses like Saeed’s and putting entire neighborhoods on edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With many residents worried about going to work or even in some cases, going outside at all, Saeed launched a home delivery service. He’s now making up to 40 deliveries a day, using his store’s truck and rotating staff. “I was thinking to do something. Not just for the store but for the clients, for all the neighborhood,” Saeed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saeed moved to California from Yemen when he was 13. He lived in Bakersfield, and now he’s in Fresno, where his family runs several food centers. But he opened this Dinuba store on his own. And he remembers how much the neighborhood showed up for him when he first opened. “They said, ‘We just want to help. We’re happy to see a new business here.’ I’m not going to forget that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-Title-__Title__title\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12046558/california-lawmakers-approve-major-overhaul-of-landmark-environmental-law\">California Lawmakers Approve Major Overhaul Of Landmark Environmental Law\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After weeks of tense negotiations with Gov.

They both take aim at the \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/environment/ceqa\">1970 California Environmental Quality Act\u003c/a>, known as CEQA , which has been the ire of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2025/03/ceqa-infill-housing-wicks/\">housing\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/commentary/2025/06/ceqa-environmental-law-reform/\">advocates\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://lhc.ca.gov/report/california-environmental-quality-act-ceqa/\">oversight agencies\u003c/a> for years.

They will have to establish, implement, and maintain an effective injury and illness prevention program (IIPP), inspect workplaces to identify, evaluate and correct potential safety hazards, and report any serious workplace injuries to Cal/OSHA.

In the lawsuit filed Monday, the department blames the ordinance for why it deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines. “Sanctuary policies were the driving cause of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. declared itself a sanctuary city in 2019 and enshrined its policies into law last year. The declaration does not allow the city to cooperate with federal agents and prohibits federal agents from using city resources — staff and property — for immigration enforcement. “Trump is tearing families apart and he’s trying to force every city and town to help him carry out his white nationalist agenda,” L.A. City Council member Hugo Soto-Martinez said. “The lawsuit gets one thing right. We refuse to stand by and let Donald Trump deport innocent families. We’re going to do everything within our power to keep families together.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
