Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

US citizens detained by ICE speak out:
"They dragged me outside and pulled me into a headlock. I repeated, 'I'm a citizen. I have an ID.' The agent kept saying, 'That don't matter'... Inside my cell, I heard wailing, screaming, begging. Alongside that was the banter and laughter from the agents."

Voters showed their interest in this race is high! Thanks for bringing your passion and policy ideas.
Standing room only last night in Roslindale. This crowd was electric and a great way to kick off the new year. Plenty more to come this month, stay tuned 👀
Thank you to @prowroxroz.bsky.social and The Square Root for having me!

Grateful to @prowroxroz.bsky.social for inviting me to speak at the Meet the Challenger event last night! Thank you to everyone who came out—the room was full of energy, excitement, and great questions. I’m inspired by this community and ready to keep building a people-powered campaign together. 💪

When I spoke to local activists here in Minneapolis, they told me there is a palpable sense that ICE agents are out for blood, that they want a fight, and you can feel it. I finally saw that myself at the Whipple Federal Building. ICE feels emboldened by the state covering for murder. Untouchable.

NEW: The DNC warned 10 states that shared sensitive voter data with the DOJ that they may have violated federal law, specifically a “quiet period provision” barring states from removing voters from their rolls within 90 days of an election.

Some of our senior community members couldn't get to our rally at the rotary, so they held their own outside their building at noon. There are more people to the left & right of the photo. #NoKings 1205-1215 Centre St, West Roxbury MA. 33 people. They want to be counted!

Tomorrow is the preliminary election in the city of Boston. There are several good candidates for city council who would appreciate your votes. Mayor Wu would also welcome your vote to allow her to continue her good work. If you have not already voted, make a plan to vote tomorrow. #BosPoli #vote
