Was there a ukulele involved?

UK or Florida... Either way, the xenophobia tracks.

Trump's Plan
1. Starve/medically deprive families so children are taken "for their own safety."
2. Put children into the system and indoctrinate them via right wing family placements.
3. Create work programs that conveniently align with low wage employment needs.
4. Endless supply of drones.

Sondheim was always spot on with his political commentary.

I ran across a post in my feed that calculated what the average wage would need to be in order to equal the spending power of Boomers (in their prime 1970s home buying years)...

They don't like anything that requires care and nurturing. I think it will be a second patio.

I doubt Newsom has any intention of just letting them leave.

Yup. They only need to be out of state 6 months +1 day to avoid California taxes.

That would be illegal.

Once? Absolutely not. Apply blunt force trauma till that serial killer is a sticky paste.

My only objection to burning a flag is the fiber content. Those synthetics turn into flaming goo that can stick to your skin.
Stay safe, folks. Use tongs and heat resistant gloves!
