"As journalist Pablo Manríquez recently exposed, the Navy is reshuffling funds under an existing contract vehicle to designate $45 billion dollars for the construction of a new 'sprawling network' of detention facilities... which would each house as many as 10,000 people in soft-sided tents."

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This is correct. I have been writing about some of what is going on in NYC. There is a very robust movement fighting ICE and mass deportation in many ways right now. talkingpointsmemo.com/undocumented...
And they aren't all crowing about it on social media, so let's not assume that all the people in hats and buttons passing out whistles are doing nothing else. People - "wine moms," "knitters," who else do you think has ready access to breast milk? - are working behind the scenes for good.
A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.

“Our days are riding on the learning edge of a whirlwind — crisis management, harm mitigation, helping everyone come to terms with new conditions and new impossible choices that they’re faced with,” says Minneapolis organizer Andrew Fahlstrom.
I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:
Minneapolis Community Defense Is “Riding on the Learning Edge of a Whirlwind”
“We are becoming the people that we always knew that we needed to be,” says Minneapolis organizer Andrew Fahlstrom.

Disease is being weaponized to kill people our government considers undesirable.
I hope you can connect the dots to how they told you to throw off your masks and stop getting vaccinations.
