Beijing October 2005 near the Zhongnanhai leadership compound in Beijing. Taken from a taxi. One of my best photos. The composition turned out well by accident! I'm more of a snapshotist than a photographer.

Stephen A. Smith PRESSES Abdul El-Sayed on Abolishing ICE — Then Gets a Firm Answer on Open Borders Stephen A. Smith: You’ve said the only way forward is to abolish ICE and start from scratch. What does that mean? Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: Let me be clear: I believe we ought to have a safe, secure southern border. I believe you ought to enforce immigration law, but not through masked men with AR-15s acting against the Constitution. ICE didn’t exist before this century. It’s not part of the Constitution. ICE is not about immigration. It’s about making a show of immigration and normalising paramilitary force on our streets. I believe we need to undo it and build a system that enforces immigration law while respecting the Constitution. Stephen A. Smith: Is there any condition under which you think open borders are acceptable? Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: No. You have to have borders that you can control. There’s no question about that. People think ICE is about border enforcement, but it’s not. Customs and Border Protection enforces the border. ICE handles immigration enforcement inside the country. I went to Minneapolis during the height of Project Metro Surge. Some of the things I saw, I never thought I would see in the United States of America. We can’t allow that to continue.

Show me someone who doesn’t know Texan Latinos. Also, “ain’t mathing,” math is on par with his grammar. Signed a Latino who votes in Texas.
I’ve lived in Texas for 45 years. No one outside of Austin knew who the hell Gina Hinojosa was. And you’re telling me she beat a multi-term incumbent, who won his last election by double digits, by a big margin in Texas. That math ain’t mathing

I saw Wang Huning yesterday on Chinese TV news yesterday casting his vote in the Zhongnanhai Election District at Huairen Hall polling place (convenient -- it is where the Politburo meets) for the Beijing People's Congress at 1:54 in the video.  ntv.cn/content/1/769/9917693…

My campaign and others complained about this for months. This should’ve been a national story. Thank God @MSTODAYnews reported it and we and others were able to try to reach these voters. Local journalism matters!
Voter inactivations surged ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, the first since the MS Secretary of State’s Office authorized unverified data from the credit bureau Experian for counties to use statewide when cleaning their voter rolls. Read more: ow.ly/Xj9s5104Jif

Never forget what Trump and the MAGA movement did to Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They were both killed by ICE agents. Their blood cried for justice.

Katherine Clark: "There is one image that has stuck with me. It's the video of the memorial to Alex Pretti and Renee Good. It is covered with 'I Voted' stickers. Hundreds and hundreds of people went to that memorial and put that sticker there. Each one placed by an American who cast their ballot in the ultimate act of hope."

This is tremendous from @DavidAFrench and reflects the anger & betrayal so many people have felt under Trump. I'm often critical of presidential policies, but this is the first time in my life that my government seemed to truly hate its own citizens. nytimes.com/2026/11/05/opini…

In case anyone is wondering what kind of Senator James Talarico will be, here’s him challenging the author of the Ten Commandments bill in the Texas house. He’s been fighting extremism and hypocrisy for a long time
