Quick math: Elon Musk has given away .06% of his net worth. Less than one tenth of 1%.
The median net worth in the US is about $124,041. If someone of that net worth gave away the same percentage as Elon Musk we would be talking about $79.51. Over a lifetime.
You don't hate billionaires enough.

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.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.

FWIW, I know I am not unique in this opinion, but the model of Mala Jin (women's houses) in Rojava is one that is very relevant for queer folks in the USA who experience homelessness and toxic family dynamics at a significantly elevated rate.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink
74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.
Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

And ICE shot out the windows of apartments nearby. They used this munition to do it. They also shot people with this.
