They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

NMRSky! Is there any way to indicate multiple peak assignments for a single spin system (I.e., exchange where two peaks for one amide are visible) in a BMRB deposition? @nmr900.bsky.social

violent misogyny is a prerequisite belief for fascism and I just am begging anyone who doesn't study feminism, gender, child and domestic abuse, etc, to please just believe us when we say domestic and sexual violence is how they learn to dodge accountability to enact institutional violence later
Trump’s 22-year-old terror prevention pick, Thomas Fugate—a former grocery clerk & MAGA superfan—is under fire after reports he sent threatening messages as part of a high school love triangle. DHS claims it’s old drama, but records suggest a police investigation did happen.
Cops Probed Trump Terror Chief, 22, Over Teen Love Triangle
Police were called in after a threatening message was sent to a child by the ex-gardener chosen by the president to lead a key homeland security post, The Daily Beast has learned.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
