As promised on my last post, I'm going to be using my YouTube channel a LOT from now on.

Here -- speaking as an expert on violence in Congress -- I offer some thoughts on yesterday's attack on Senator Padilla.

ICE agents are torturing a green card holder from New Hampshire, his mother says

www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
A New Hampshire man with a green card was detained by immigration officers at Logan Airport and is being held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Donald W. Wyatt detention facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island. Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court. Schmidt had been visiting Luxembourg and flew back to the U.S. on Friday. His partner had gone to pick him up at Logan Airport, and waited four hours before calling authorities. “It was just said that his green card was flagged,” said Astrid Senior, his mother. She said she didn’t hear from her son directly until Tuesday, when she learned he’d been hospitalized. Senior described Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair. She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.

Los Angeles Times: "I’m an American doctor who went to Gaza. I have worked in other war zones. But what I witnessed in Gaza was not war — it was annihilation."
Opinion: I'm an American doctor who went to Gaza. What I saw wasn't war — it was annihilation
As a surgeon, I volunteered at a Gaza hospital. The conditions were unthinkable. With a ground offensive in Rafah, people have nowhere to go.
