"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them." (Published Oct. 2025)

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

For artists in all fields, I’m moderating a free online panel on the Art of Rejection—which many—most?—people working in the arts face rejection at one time or another. Join us for a discussion with professionals who say “no” and those who’ve had “no” said to them. Link in comments.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

It seems clear to me that shutting down the government for 6mo to a year and cutting off funding from lower level courts who are currently fighting Trump is only going to give them the keys to the coup. The courts are the only thing that have stalled DOGE. If we cut off their funding… we’re fucked.

I’m incredibly disappointed in the Senate’s vote to pass Republicans’ partisan spending bill. Democrats should not be complicit in giving a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk. Fighting back for the American people is the only way forward.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

She saw family in Lebanon. Now this Brown Medicine doctor is being held at Logan for deportation.

Dr. Rasha Alawieh flew into Logan Airport Thursday after visiting family in Lebanon. She's being detained now at Logan without legal counsel.
