“If ICE was a military, it would have the 16th biggest budget in the world. You wanna talk about America First? Think about all the things we could do in this country, like giving a [hurricane] warning system to these folks in rural Texas, instead of plucking brown people out of their homes.”

I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
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.

There is no way to understate what is happening in America – a sinister alliance between a demagogue, the world’s richest man, and right-wing activists is remaking the federal government.
It Keeps Getting Worse—and No One Is Safe
Donald Trump and Elon Musk aren’t just inflicting pain on poor people abroad or imagined “enemies within.” Their parade of cruelty is coming for MAGA country, too.

Good morning.
It's Blackout Friday.
Not a dollar towards the oligarchs who are holding our Republic hostage.
Not a penny for those bending the knee to a fascist authoritarian.
Give them nothing.
