Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp.
Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

@repkimschrier.bsky.social - I tried to email you since you felt free to send me text messages stumping for money, but since I'm not in your district you don't want emails so I'll reach out here.

Fixed a tortilla press today. The handle was missing so I made a bushing out of a plumbing fixture and used a 9/16 box end wrench as the new handle.
