Jody 💍💉🧢 @jodydawkins.bsky.social · 14d

Yep. What a wretched hive of scum and villainy

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.
