Greetings from the dog-eared state in USA. Here are some quotes from books, etc, in no real order. Respect for all religions, and no religion, and all people. But no DMs
Sorry, not many quotes recently!
I’ll try to get back to posting them.

I am seeing nonprofits lay off staff, cut services, and in some cases close outright. The very programs that help those most at risk are being run into the ground so a murderous regime can build concentration camps and ballrooms.
Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

We're gonna win
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Cowardly, stupid, cruel, thugs is exactly what they are.
“If you were from this country, you would know I’m an immigration officer… I can hear you don’t have the same accent as me.”
Accent as evidence.
Appearance as suspicion.
Power as permission.
When federal agents decide who “belongs,” citizenship stops being protection & starts being conditional.

Dance yr resistance!
I know things are tough rt now & for most of us across the country we may feel that we cannot do anything.
Well, let’s keep moving, even if it just hopping around the apartment.
These moves are just kind of a jumping off point. They may be hard for non dancer but just have fun.

It’s funny that there was bipartisan consensus to do this.
TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.
They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Huge win here by @aclu.org. Similar to a court order we and our partners obtained recently in Chicago in a similar case.
It's important not just because of the order itself, but because it creates a forum for accountability for federal officers who violate it who can now be held in contempt.
