time to put granny in the fields and deploy the agricultural robots that don't exist and aren't being developed after we gutted science funding
Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Republican senators have been racing to pass their bill before people learn about these numbers.
But at some point Americans are going to notice anyway. Including the ~half of Medicaid recipients who voted for Trump.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

The Supreme Court is about to go on an extended summer vacation, after having blown up the docket of every single lower court judge who has been working like a dog to deal with the firehose of illegal orders coming out of this administration.
If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

FEMA camps conspiracy theory
The FEMA camps conspiracy theory is a belief, particularly within the American Patriot movement, L' that the United States Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to imprison
United States citizens in concentration camps, following the imposition of martial law in the United States after a major disaster or crisis. 1112)(3114] In some versions of the theory, only suspected dissidents will be imprisoned. In more extreme
versions, large numbers of United States citizens will be imprisoned for the purposes of extermination as a New World Order is established. The theory has existed since the late 1970s, but its circulation has increased with the advent of the internet and social media platforms. 12]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dmht6n3frexsulkabk4vtrdm/bafkreib3lxmxbiovqymtftmsk5nu2lvdneqvusa3sjg6bomfy2dgltolq4@jpeg)

It's sort of fascinating how ALL OF THIS lawless tyranny is happening, all around us at all times, and never once have a gang of Second Amendment enthusiasts showed up with their God-given rifles to fend off the secret police. Not once. When they've been driven off it's been by the unarmed.
