This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

What We Know About the Deal Between Israel and Hamas

If Trump helped with the release of prisoners and hostages there, maybe he could release the political prisoners held illegally in US concentration camps.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

The Billionaire Behind Trump’s Deal for Universities

The Times' coverage of Rowan's role has been remarkable. It is sad to me that after forcing his alma mater, Penn, to oust a really good president for incredibly poor reasons, Rowan's megalomanical next thought was "maybe the federal government should do this everywhere" and they're actually trying.

Finally, revisiting a recent journal rejection. Wowza, the reviewers were straight-up HATERS! Life is too short to hold that much anger towards a practice brief.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Apple removes ICEBlock app that tracked agent sightings amid controversy The developer of the app, which allowed people to report the activities of immigration agents, said he believed pressure from the Trump administration was to blame.

Apple has removed an app that allowed people to track and anonymously report the activities of ICE agents from its app store, due to “objectionable content,” the developer said.

It comes after criticism of the app from Trump administration officials.

ICE began shipping immigrants to this tiny California town. Chaos has reigned ever since ICE began sending immigrants to a new California detention center in small town in August. Since then, it has been inundated with activists, desperate families and utter confusion.

🚨 Another detention center has opened in California City—illegally, without permits. Inside: no clean water, no medical care. Outside: immigrant families are too afraid to leave their homes. Fear is the point. We refuse to accept it.

Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference

“The compact would require colleges to freeze tuition for 5 years, cap the enrollment of international students and commit to strict definitions of gender. Among other steps…” - NY Times - allow the hunger games to commence: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

Kavanaugh stop

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully
in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.

He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.

The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.
