Military escalation abroad:
Quiet strikes. No debate. No vote. Always money for war, never for people.
They call this stability.
It’s control.
Don’t let them lie or gaslight you.

SNAP funds left unused:
Billions authorized. Hunger rising anyway. Scarcity is being enforced politically, not economically.
Corporate layoffs, flat wages:
Profits up. Executive pay up. Workers cut. “Efficiency” is just wealth extraction with better PR.

15-year auto loans:
When people need a decade-plus to afford a car, it’s not “innovation.” Its wages failing to keep up with survival.
Foreclosures up ~20%:
Housing isn’t collapsing by accident. High rates + investor ownership + stagnant pay = displacement by design.

This is the modern fugitive-catcher network. And if we don’t call it out now, it only grows.

The parallels aren’t poetic — they’re structural. A system created to track, seize, and remove human beings for the benefit of the powerful… is doing exactly that again.

Billions in funding have supercharged this machine — more detention beds, more transfers, more pressure tactics to force “voluntary” removals. The Fugitive Slave Acts were backed by money and federal muscle too. Today is no different.

Arrests are surging past 30,000 a month, with a rising share being non-criminal community members — people pulled off streets, out of homes, and out of daily life for status alone. That’s exactly how slave catchers operated: presence = guilt.

ICE hit a record 61,226 people in custody this year — the highest detention level in U.S. history. That’s not “safety.” That’s mass capture.

Strip the theatrics and here’s the truth:
Today’s DHS hearing laid out a blueprint —
More surveillance.
More removals.
Less citizenship.
And a regime trying to drag 2025 back to 1925.

TPS updates were ice cold:
Termination rates rising while deportations to active conflict zones jump 18%. Human lives treated like recyling.

The “new” travel ban?
Same racist architecture. Same target list:
Africa
The Caribbean
Muslim nations
They’re not refreshing policy — they’re refreshing segregation.

DHS brag reel:
Detentions up 29%
Fast-track deportations up 41%
Parole approvals down 36%
But apparently Democrats are “weak.”
Sure.

They cried “border crisis,” but their own DHS stats show crossings DOWN 22%. Republicans don’t fear migrants.
They fear losing a scapegoat.

Summary:
• Wealth up top
• Pressure on workers
• Racialized crackdowns
• Manufactured outrage
• Ilhan Omar & Jasmine Crockett as political decoys
When they can’t defend their policies, they create villains.
And they always choose Black and Muslim women.

Immigration:
New travel ban drafts and harsher asylum restrictions target the Global South.
It’s Jim Crow foreign policy —
—and they use attacks on Omar as the racialized fuel for it. Always the same playbook.

Corporate Welfare:
Tech giants gained $480B in market cap while collecting federal subsidies and laying off workers.
No hearings. No outrage.
But the mere existence of two outspoken Black and Muslim women? Suddenly it’s a constitutional crisis.

National Security + SOUTHCOM:
Civilian casualties in the region up 34%.
Congressional calls for review are bipartisan.
But instead of oversight, the GOP runs a smear campaign against the two women who ask the hardest questions: Omar and Crockett.

Housing:
Foreclosures up 19.6%.
Corporate landlords now control 1 in 4 single-family rentals.
Cities are battling rent spikes engineered by investment firms —
—and somehow, Republicans think the problem is Ilhan Omar “undermining America.”

ADP: 103,000 jobs added — but:
• Small businesses lost 9,000
• Big corporations gained 74,000
That’s not the “strong economy” they brag about. It’s corporate consolidation. Yet GOP leadership spent the day attacking Ilhan Omar over a fictional “security threat.”
