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.

Here's the picture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos, labeled with obviously photoshopped letters and numbers, followed by the video of Tr*mp insisting -- repeatedly -- that *the letters and numbers* are real tattoos.

Missed this story last week about how the Democratic Party's main voter database (VAN) was bought by a private equity firm in 2021, degraded, & then nearly collapsed during the 2024 election.

And by "last, best and final offer" they mean no protections for class sizes, no improvement in lecturer salary minimums, and a supposed cost-of-living adjustment far below what an independent fact-finder deemed fair.
