It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.
There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

The assault of Senator Padilla will rightly get lots of attention.
But don't forget that Kristi Noem was in the midst of saying that the government was going to use the military to "liberate" a city from the mayor and the governor it elected.
The thuggery operates at every level.

Black neighborhoods brace for aggressive policing with 'know your rights' guides
As images circulate of law enforcement officers aggressively grabbing immigrants off the streets, activists are preparing for similar treatment for Black Americans.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil.

@repmcgovern.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are right. If the people support this bill, then have your meeting in front of the cameras in the light of day.

McLaughlin called this a "military operation" (total bull, it's a private Gulfstream jet contracted by ICE) and calls the men "uniquely violent monsters" and shows 8 pictures. She attacks Judge Murphy, calling him an "activist judge."
Every time she refers to the men, she calls them "monsters."
