    First “Violent” undocumented immigrants.

    Then “Non-Violent” undocumented immigrants.

    Then trans people?

    Then documented but deemed undesirable immigrants?

    Maybe citizens who have done the worst possible crimes?

    Citizens who disagree too loudly with Trump or Musk?

    When do you suppose they’ll build the next camp?

    When do you suppose they’ll get to “the gays” or “the blacks?”

    When will they get to your neighbor? Or to you?

    When will it finally be enough for those who voted to put him in power? Ever?

      I recently saw a meeting of my school district’s board of trustees and they were essentially asking the superintendent about this and what do we do? How do we assuage fears? How do we keep kids and families safe?

      The answers pretty much boiled down to we won’t see roundups here like we’ve seen in other cities because of rules. We’re woefully unprepared for what’s to come and I frankly have no clue what to do. I’m so fucking scared.

      Friendly reminder that about 2lbs of sugar ruins about 2 tons of concrete.
