It was only a matter of time before the Trump administration went after the unhoused community. Please note that the “recovery centers” they are promising to force people into don’t exist – or at least are in short supply. Expect internment camps.

If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes.
I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime.
As someone whose parents were in assisted living at the end of their lives, I can confirm that at least 90% of staff are immigrants. Resident needs are intense, and it seems like there are never enough helping hands. Staff shortages will most certainly increase suffering and shorten lives.
Yeah, that tracks, unfortunately.
Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Washington Post screenshot Trump officials reverse guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids ICE agents have been told to continue conducting enforcement operations at agricultural businesses despite concerns about negative effects on the food industry.

Who’s actually in charge?

Getting ready
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

This is a chorus, not a solo.
Show up how you can.
We need you all.
