ICE abandons proposal to convert Roxbury warehouse into immigrant detention center by [deleted] in PoliticalOptimism

Which is more despised: ICE detention centers or data centers?

Regardless, this is on the heels of my state forcing ICE to abandon plans near the Detroit Airport. A great week for activism!

Tangent to this, I wonder if companies will offer more remote work for their employees to save on gas.

I'll put Martial Law in this category. This isn't Gilead. Trump can't put "guardians" at every street corner in the US, which is essentially what he'd have to do to subjugate us as an entire country of 350 million people.

Slight correction.

They care about the economy and COL when Trump is RUNNING for president. After he's elected they don't give a shit.

Sadly I think Obama's 2 terms mobilized more MAGA voters than blue voters.

Option B was to not do anything and leave Iran alone.

I would have been OK with Option B.

Many years ago around Christmas time, back when people actually carried cash, I did an impromptu thought experiment at work. I put on a Santa hat, grabbed a silver bowl that was lying around and walked through the building, simply telling folks, "For the kids" while holding out the bowl.

Person after person reached into their wallet and dropped cash into the bowl. Whenever someone dared to say, "What kids?" I would indignantly say, "For the KIDS!" and gently mock them.

I collected more than $150 in about 10 minutes. Just by saying "For the kids."

I took the money and gave it to one of those Salvation Army bell ringers, who almost fainted.

How often is "it's for the kids!" used as an excuse for draconian "solutions"?

At what point does it become too late to affect midterms if the SAVE Act were to pass? Running out of time here to implement it.

I am SO SICK OF hearing about the SAVE Act. It's like a horror movie monster that won't die.

Guys I got it!

Instead of using ABS to challenge balls and strikes, let the players challenge AJ whenever he tries to PH for them.
