So yesterday Trump was holding hands with MBS, and today he's demanding the execution of two Senators and four Representatives.

I am always disgusted and never surprised by these stories. As long as we have non academic fraternities we will have hazing. When I started at Colgate the Greek system was close to 70% of the student body. Now it’s in the low 30%. Much healthier for all. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/25/n...

Part of ICE’s efforts will be setting up random traffic stops and checkpoints throughout the city and making educated guesses about who to detain and who not to detain. These 'Guess Stops' will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or 'Guess-Stop-O for short.

NEW— ICE vehicles chased a landscaping truck through Takoma Park, MD, on Monday about a mile from DC, which ended with the truck crashing on someone’s lawn and narrowly missing another car, multiple residents confirm to me. Video shows ICE going into a backyard to find/arrest the men from the truck.

Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away.
Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid.
Neither are we.

This is how we lose our democracy. We stand with the peaceful protesters
Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

David Huerta is a very balanced and thoughtful person. He serves his members with sincerity and care. He has been a colleague in innovative work with me and I think of him as a friend. He was being peaceful and they through him to the ground with violence and cruelty. This is where we are.
EVERYBODY WATCH.
ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.
Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.
He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.
Don’t turn away.

They stayed up all night refreshing. Those benefits help pay for his care.
