This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.

I toured a 1700-acre solar installation in Michigan (lots of big hedgerows between the various sections) and they had pollinator-friendly wildflowers growing prolifically beneath the arrays.
And lots of wildlife, which they were happy to co exist with.

Lighthouse Hill (1927) sets a stark white lighthouse above a shadowed cottage on a grassy rise. The vertical beacon cuts through shifting clouds and wind. Its certainty contrasts with the house’s dark façade, symbolizing artificial guidance standing firm amid atmospheric chaos.
