The Afro Deli is the Mpls skyway is closing after today because there was an ICE raid a few days ago and they don't have enough employees to continue. I will vote for any person who promises to put these dudes in jail forever.

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

It’s unreal that we take children from their families and pay strangers to care for them, when the majority of removals are due to poverty in the first place
I'd add that in a humane system, the financial assistance we give to foster parents should also be available to bio-family.
Often $$$ is a huge hurdle for extended relatives, adult siblings, and yes, even parents to overcome in providing a safe and stable home.
