Talk with your MAGA friends and family about the difference in tone when it’s a MAGA suspect - innoculate them with truth about who is doing violence - It will work- they are humans and can change. Data show 7 convos with trusted folx can change a person’s mind.

A PhD student with a valid visa studying Engineering at University of Alabama was just detained by ICE.

Keep our students safe - Oppose ICE’s budget.
Ask your reps to shut the Gov down unless they defund ICE to keep our neighbors safe.

With their new 30 Billion budget (3x the previous year) - ICE will be even more efficient.
Shut the gov. down.
Call your rep.

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down.

Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

Ting, a postdoc in the L’Etoile lab @girlsinscience.bsky.social, was recently awarded the BARI Postdoctoral Fellowship to study how nights of poor sleep contribute to age-related memory decline in tiny roundworms, which—like humans—also experience sleep loss and memory deterioration as they age.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Armando’s loved one was taken by ICE. This isn’t just his story -- it’s a call to action for the thousands of families affected.

We fight to keep families together because no one should live in fear due to their skin color or native language.

Immigrants belong here. 🦋 #FamiliasUnidas #WeBelongHere
