It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.

Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

This is one of America's saddest days, but it pales in comparison to the days that are coming for so many here.

For every idiot like Ted Cruz, Bill Ackerman and Josh Hawley you find at Harvard, there are people like Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a 1st generation American who finished with a 5.0 at MIT and got her doctoral degree in theoretical physics at Harvard. Many people call her the next Einstein.

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The cabinet is pure garbage chosen only because of their lack of integrity and willingness to kiss the first felon’s ass. They are a dangerous, walking clown show.

Do with this info what you will.... But what you need to stop doing is acting like this kind of stuff happened back in the time dinosaurs. 💅🏾
