CSU Channel Islands professor Jonathan Anthony Caravello was arrested & disappeared by ICE in Camarillo yesterday. 4 pigs dragged Jonathan away without giving the reason for arrest and without disclosing where they are taking him. His whereabouts are still unknown. Please boost.
A comrade, Jonathan Caravello was taken by feds while defending farm workers. We’re trying to locate him but have not had any luck. It’s been over 24 hours since his arrest and we cannot find him in the system. We could use any help locating him. See links below.

This little girl was my patient. I'm surprised how little people - even MDs and keyboard warriors- know about penetrating/gunshot trauma. Let me explain what this X-Ray means, how it clearly proves this girl has a gunshot, and why the haters are oh so very wrong. A #MedTwitter 🧵
The GHF claims its aid distribution is a feel-good story. The patients our doctors are seeing tell a different story, like this 1.5 year old girl who was shot by a bullet close to GHF's aid site while in her mother's arms.
