I was talking with a teenager recently who is not a transphobe but said he didn’t think it was fair for trans women to play women’s sports . I said that I didn’t think it was fair that people who are taller than me get to play basketball and he paused for a moment and then said, ok you’re right.

Say his name, Anas Al-Sharif. I have been offline for awhile and am heartsick to see they killed a power house of a journalist packed into a small body and a short life. This world didn’t deserve him. I will never forgive US-Israel for hunting down every journalist in Gaza.

"My name is George Retes. I’m a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, a U.S. citizen, and I work as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California.

On July 10th, I was wrongfully detained by ICE agents while simply trying to report to work. I was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had my car window smashed, and was dragged out of my vehicle at gunpoint β€” all while I was nonviolent, and doing nothing wrong.

I clearly identified myself as a U.S. citizen and an employee of the farm, yet federal agents ignored me, yelled conflicting orders, and then violently detained me. I was held in custody for three days without any charges, without a phone call, and without access to legal help. I was never told why I was arrested. I never received care to clean myself despite being covered in tear gas and OC spray for days.

This is not how any person should be treated β€” especially not a veteran who served this country with honor. I didn’t break any law. I was just trying to go to work.

What happened to me wasn’t just a mistake β€” it was a violation of my civil rights. It was excessive force. And it was a failure of justice. I’m speaking out not just for myself, but for every citizen who could’ve ended up in my place that day.

I’m calling for a full investigation into the actions of ICE and other agencies involved in this operation. I want the agents who ignored protocol and used force against me to be held accountable. And I want the public to know the truth: this raid didn’t just target immigrants. It hurt Americans too.

I will not stay silent. I served this country, and now I’m demanding it do right by me."

One of my CSU colleagues was arrested yesterday in Camarillo. The LA Times reported that he was tackled and detained after trying to assist a disabled man as agents swarmed. After 24 hrs, we still have **no information on where he's being held** & no information about possible injuries.

The denial of due process by ICE is resulting in US citizens being denied constitutional rights. Dr. Jonathan Caravello was detained during the #Camarillo raids. His lawyer and fellow faculty members have been unable to find him. He is one of many U.S. citizens detained. THIS HAS TO STOP!

β€œThis was not just an arrestβ€”it was a disappearance,” said a CFA spokesperson. β€œDr. Caravello is a U.S. citizen, a public servant, and an advocate for justice. His abduction is part of a deeply alarming trend of silencing dissent and criminalizing compassion.”

Remember the Philosophy professor who ICE abducted? When ICE threw tear gas, a canister landed under the wheelchair of a bystander. Prof. Caravello was jumped trying to help him. A mensch.

Two days later – Caravello is still disappeared. Is there enough known info to file a habeas corpus petition?

Someone needs to bear witness as masked agents of the government brutalize members of our community. It doesn’t surprise me that a Philosophy professor would do so.

Be at least as brave as a Philosophy professor.

(And demand that ICE release Prof. Caravello.)

After feds fired a tear gas canister towards someone in a wheelchair: "While attempting to assist the disabled bystander who could not see or breathe, Dr. Caravello was abruptly taken down by immigration agents, dragged into an unmarked vehicle, and taken to an unknown location."
