I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.
Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

“President Alan Garber wants you to believe that Harvard is standing firm for academic freedom in the face of pressure from the authoritarian Trump administration,” Ahmad said. “The truth is that Harvard has already surrendered its intellectual freedom to far right-wing donors.”

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

I graduated in 1986. We called for MIT divestment from apartheid South Africa, including during graduation

Yesterday, I met with CBP and ICE Homeland Security Investigations officials at the Sault Ste. Marie Port of Entry.

This small but mighty port does everything from processing thousands of crossings to port of entry services for Great Lakes cruise ships & international flights into Chippewa County.

ICE disappears people while wearing masks and no identifying insignia. Some of their agents burst into the office of one of your colleagues this week and handcuffed one of his aides.

"Let's go do a photo op with the Gestapo."

The fuck is wrong with you?

Jerry Nadler is the former chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Today DHS agents stormed his office looking for protesters, and terrorized and handcuffed a staffer.
Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

I would die for the Egyptian chicken over rice guy near WSP
Do not sleep on the two best varieties of NYC food truck, 1) the egg and cheese guy who will make you a fresh squeezed OJ if you’re having a bad day and 2) the Olympics of chicken over rice (many nations are very competitive but hats off to Yemen)
my favorite food trucks:
the bao truck
the one with burritos with french fries inside
the pasta truck with fresh pasta and made to order sauces in skillets for each order
that pizza truck with a wood burning oven built into the truck

ICE turned back in Somerville

So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.
