Important info from @cato.org about how immigrants contribute to our country:
"The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023."
Facts matter.

It’s an ethnic cleansing. The Republican Party is getting their wish to turn the US into a white ethnostate. Terror is just a bonus. They wrote this all out in their Project 2025 manifesto they’ve been working on since Reagan. That is the strategy and they’ve told us for years. This is America.
I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
