NEW: Chaos at the ICE detention centre in New Jersey.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has been arrested by the DOJ after Members of Congress (apparently being shoved by agents) attempted to include him on a visit.

Do not look away. And if this is not the country you want then get involved locally to work for change.
🧵Update: In Worcester, MA, ICE dragged a mother away from her baby & family—without identifying themselves or showing a warrant. She’s now in San Antonio. The community tried to stop them. They were met with force. Read it. Share it. Never forget it

They want us stupid. Stupid people vote gop.
Now they are gutting NSF. This is radical destruction.
The Trump goal is to end scientific research in America. Our sense is that few people, even inside the government, have actually grappled with this reality.
