"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

Watched The Voice of Hind Rajab. Hold your loved ones tight. And what else will it take to de-arm countries? No good comes from weapons. Especially when there’s hate in your heart.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

The president says he needs $1Billion from UCLA, which makes me so angry. He’s taking money from a public institution, funded by tax dollars, to balance his budget because he won’t tax the rich. This would devastate the mission of UCLA. I will always #StandUpforUC bit.ly/standuc
