Remember "FEMA camps"?
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I do think that we need people to validate claims more often before they go super viral.
"I’m saying this as clearly as I can: We have never stopped issuing the brochures,” Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument Superintendent Keena Graham said. “Every visitor—and we’ve had over 60,000 visitors last year—has received a brochure."

I got one of those spam emails that somehow gets through gmails spam filter and is just an image. I probably shouldn't have clicked on it but I wasn't paying attention. The Gemini summary is all about data privacy, which might be from the attachment (which I definitely will not open)?

Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer:
1) boasts about the poor place he’s from;
2) boosts the value of agriculture;
3) celebrates small town life;
4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and
5) promotes marriage.
And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.
