This is reassuring. "Blue states building parallel systems" is a very important thing they need to be doing. Having blue state versions of all these agencies and departments (CDC, FDA, FBI, Depts of Housing/Education/Labor, etc) is crucial to keep important work moving for when we get rid of trump.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.
Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.

When the senators who voted for this bill end up in a nursing home (assuming there are any left) and need someone to wipe their butt, there will be no one there to do it. Immigrants do that now in nursing homes across the country and for the most part, they do it with grace, love and good humor.

Trump’s Tax Scam now heads back to the House, where Republicans can only afford to lose 3 votes. The bill barely squeaked by with a single-vote margin the first time, and it’s only gotten more divisive since. Anyone who tells you this is a done deal doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about.
