Where oh where can I possibly get a top-rated hamburger in Southern California now that In-N-Out’s billionaire CEO feels oppressed by taxes and vaccines?

Trump’s plan slashes judges, ends bond hearings, and detains millions indefinitely—prioritizing jail over justice. That’s why they need the prison in Duluth. 3.7M case backlog? Doesn’t matter. It’s about mass deportation. #Immigration #Duluth

“What about protecting the workers and families who will end up imprisoned in that facility because of racially motivated ICE sweeps? What happens to the local community when fear keeps people indoors and small businesses can’t survive? Jobs matter, but so does justice.

NEWS: the Bureau of Prisons just decided to reverse course and keep their facility in Duluth open. I urged BOP leadership to take this step to protect these good paying jobs that are vital to the local economy.

In the same legislative session, Texas lawmakers rejected critical public safety funding, while approving a massive taxpayer-funded Hollywood giveaway.

Texas turned down funding for flood warning systems, but gave $1.5 billion in tax breaks for television and film production.

#TexasFloods #Flood
Texas is offering up incentives and tax breaks for local production - but under conditions that are basically asking filmmakers and showrunners to create Lone Star Propaganda. You'll never guess what I was able to connect this to!
