Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I live next to an abortion clinic. Apparently the clinics themselves are the only ones who can call for the buffer zone to be enforced, or else I would have called for its enforcement myself years ago. #NHPolitics
Even though the law has never been enforced, it remains a major point of contention among lawmakers.

From what I hear, Thomas Massie is a "prepper" who lives off-grid and is very difficult to get in touch with. Although, as the saying goes, "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you."
Thomas Massie tweeting out a "if I die I was murdered" statement is a very concerning development.
They all get threats but he's clearly rattled by them.
