Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen.
ICE is terrorizing our communities—I’m fighting for answers and accountability. This is just wrong.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.

There is an increase of federal agents in Portland. We did not ask for this. We do not need this. And we certainly will not be divided by this. We stand united in our values and reject this egregious abuse of power.

Artemis update:
It's been a tough time. He is still in the hospital, not eating.
A few folks have asked how they can help, so I've set up a GoFundMe to help with costs.
If you've ever loved Artemis, his gravity experiments and feel moved to help him, here's the link.
