Come what may, I will bet on us, every time, because there is no other bet worth placing. I am all in, fam. I will never stop looking for openings and aiming at them. I will never stop reaching for people and saying, “Take my hand. We can do this.” Because we are worth it.

"About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room when meals were hours late, a lawyer told NJ Advance Media."
After being starved for twenty hours and then fed two pieces of bread, detainees got fed up. According to this article they pushed an interior wall down. If this facility was just reopened how come it's so flimsy that they could do that? Safety inspections are needed now.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim
directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

46.5 billion is a little less than 10% of what has been spent on agencies that carry out immigration enforcement for the last 22 years.
If I gave you $10,000 each day from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to today you still wouldn't have a billion dollars.

The House GOP unveiled its budget reconciliation bill late on Sunday night. It contains $46.5 BILLION for building new border wall — nearly 3x as much as Trump spent on wall during his first term.
That would be enough money to fund the immigration courts for 55 years straight.
