Outside the Broadview detention center, ISP + Broadview PD are still blocking Harvard + 25th. It's officially after curfew.

One organizer is urging some remaining protesters to leave (they are mostly ignoring the plea). It's truly mostly press here now, including a number of far right/chud media.

NEW: Is it good if your boss asks you to let them know if you get fired?

My latest from inside NOAA, EPA, elsewhere. Please sign up and subscribe to the new very reasonable paid tiers.

Federal Employees Have Been Asked to Tell Their Bosses if They Get Fired

Multiple people at multiple agencies said their bosses have told them to email up the chain if they hear about RIFs, because, per one source, "they probably won't be told if people are fired."
