Dr. Bandy Lee offers on Trump’s interactions with Xi Jinping: He will continue to be played by these leaders. He is extremely manipulable. The flip side of individuals with mental impairments like his is he would be easily manipulated and exploited and abused by those who he sees as his superior.

Russia is unleashing a new generation of jet-powered drones on Ukraine that are proving far harder to intercept. And Zelenskyy just issued a much bigger warning about where Russia could be heading next.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

After ICE left empty-handed, I headed back to my car, drained and worried we had failed the family. A woman one street down came over and thanked me for pushing back against ICE. She said that she had been afraid to leave her home. That made me feel a little better. Like we had done some good.

Overall, the siege lasted about 38 hours. Some of the community members who were looking out for their neighbors were on site for more than 24 hours, during which time they got almost no sleep. (Frederick, MD - September 4, 2026)

Once inside, ICE searched the house and from everything I’ve heard, did not find the individual they were searching for. They did traumatize the family though, including a child. I’ve so far seen no indication that ICE had a judicial warrant. (Frederick, MD - September 4, 2026)

After about 25 minutes, to protect the house and the people inside, the community members moved in a line and formed a human chain directly in front of the house. ICE stepped forward, at least one agent wielding a baton, and inflicted violence on them. (Frederick, MD - September 4, 2026)

ICE threatened to arrest community members. Four people then moved to the center of the street and sat down, linking arms to prevent more ICE vehicles from coming onto the street. ICE tried to intimidate them with sirens but they wouldn’t budge. (Frederick, MD - September 4, 2026)

Which is when ICE decided to drive onto the sidewalk and come straight towards the crowd, forcing them to move out of the way or get run over. One woman did have her foot run over. Thankfully she was wearing steel-toed boots or some sort of protective footwear. (Frederick, MD - September 4, 2026)

A couple of the neighbors were getting frustrated too. One drove super close to ICE while blasting traditional Latin & rap music. Me: This is hilarious. Also, me: I’m going to see someone get shot today. Thankfully, no one was shot & it did drive ICE off their position. But really, don’t do this.

Here’s another short clip where you can see the black Nissan Pathfinder racing down the street so fast I could barely get my camera going in time to record. Also, in the previous clip, note that the Nissan Pathfinder blew through the stop sign.

In the afternoon, ICE started getting impatient. They would take off down the street without warning at high speed, drive back and forth, then re-take their position. Again, this is a residential neighborhood where kids play. One ICE SUV intentionally drove close to a grandma holding a sign.

It was clear early on that ICE was keenly interested in one part of the neighborhood. Community members set up on corners in that area, holding signs such as, “La Migra Esta Aqui” and “No ICE in Our Community.” People drove by, honking in support and dropping off bottled water and other supplies.

Some of those corners that had ICE at them were school bus stops. Locals rallied. They stood watch as kids got on the bus and were dropped off. They helped escort at risk neighbors to their jobs and kept track of where ICE had posted up. They took shifts, keeping eyes on ICE through the night.
A community member stands watch at a corner while holding a rainbow striped umbrella that says, “No More War on Our Neighbors.” A community member stands watch at a corner while holding a sign that says, “My grandpa - 97th infantry, my Dad - military police in Saigon, my brother - 10th Group, You = Cowards ICE A community member stands watch on a corner while a sign rests against their legs that says, “ICE Out.” A community member stands at a corner with a sign that says, “Honk to tell La Migra ICE Out!”

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

El Inland Empire sigue creciendo mientras que California se encoge. Crecer sin un plan significa viviendas saturadas, trabajadores infravalorados, contratos oscuros y que los mayores y los veteranos se queden atrás. Me niego a dejar que eso pase. Por eso me postulo para el consejo de la ciudad.

The Inland Empire keeps growing while CA shrinks. Growth without a plan means overcrowded housing, undervalued workers, backroom contracts, & seniors & vets left behind. I refuse to let that happen. That's why I'm running for City council.

San Jacinto needs a landlord registry with real enforcement, not just a list nobody checks. Tying business licenses to compliance means owners who profit from this community can't ignore what happens on their property. Renters deserve protection, and a city that is on their side.

Feeling alone is one of the hardest things seniors face. A friendly place to go, a class to join, or a simple conversation can make a difference. A key goal will be to create more chances for seniors to connect, and working with nonprofits and churches to bring people together.

San Jacinto deserves water that protects our health, not just water that meets the minimum legal rules. Our water is considered legal, but some contaminants are above the safest health standards. My goal is simple. Clean, safe water for every household in San Jacinto.

Child and forced labor remain serious risks in global fashion supply chains, often hidden deep within complex supply chains. The EU will soon be able to ban products made with forced labor—a major step toward holding companies accountable for how their products are actually made. #PADP8670

Child labor in fashion doesn’t just happen in large garment factories. Supply chains involve layers of suppliers and subcontractors, and visibility often decreases further upstream. How meaningful is a “child-labor-free” claim? What if brands can’t fully trace their own supply chains? #PADP8670
