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.

The LAST THING an “illegal” immigrant is going to do is attempt to vote and have to show some form of ID.
This is a red herring and Republican “voter ID” legislation is voter SUPPRESSION.

Delia Ramirez is someone you can bring up to push back against the “ALL Dems are weak and feckless.”
Not all. Many, but we’re going to replace them with fighters like this.

![KABAS: So many comparisons have made between the current state of US immigration terror and Nazi Germany in the 1930s, and I've seen some say that kind of seeks to absolve this country of its own history of racial terror and genocide. In the hearings this week with ICE and CBP and USCIS, you said you have “no respect for inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol.” How did it feel to publicly and explicitly draw that connection?
REP. RAMIREZ: I knew that I was going to make them very uncomfortable. I'm not talking about just the DHS directors there—I meant my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. And I say this often, ‘Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s the willingness to act despite the fear.’ I'm a little scared [in that moment], because if I'm being blunt with you, every time I speak there's a death threat. And yet I thought it was so important, as a daughter of immigrants, as a proud representative of Illinois-3, as someone who has been calling out what they do, to be able to look evil in the eye and call them what they are.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreieyek3u7oka3cei3fdsxn2u7wyxj64s6uxl5kk7dx5zuu3wqr4vue@jpeg)

Court-ordered fines and fees hit those who can’t pay hard. Monitoring of unpaid debts can last for years. “Failure to Appear in Court” is a frequent charge against the unhoused arrested by the LAPD. As City Attorney, I will end the practice of the criminalization of poverty. 1/2

no one's shocked trump would post a racist video w/the Obamas. Yes, share it, describe what’s in it.
But white people sharing the most offensive screenshot, WHY? I keep seeing it. Seems like piling on trauma porn while virtue-signaling “I'm good whitey who calls out racism by posting racist image”
