    First “Violent” undocumented immigrants.

    Then “Non-Violent” undocumented immigrants.

    Then trans people?

    Then documented but deemed undesirable immigrants?

    Maybe citizens who have done the worst possible crimes?

    Citizens who disagree too loudly with Trump or Musk?

    When do you suppose they’ll build the next camp?

    When do you suppose they’ll get to “the gays” or “the blacks?”

    When will they get to your neighbor? Or to you?

    When will it finally be enough for those who voted to put him in power? Ever?

      I recently saw a meeting of my school district’s board of trustees and they were essentially asking the superintendent about this and what do we do? How do we assuage fears? How do we keep kids and families safe?

      The answers pretty much boiled down to we won’t see roundups here like we’ve seen in other cities because of rules. We’re woefully unprepared for what’s to come and I frankly have no clue what to do. I’m so fucking scared.

      Friendly reminder that about 2lbs of sugar ruins about 2 tons of concrete.

        Is this a sugar in gas tank reference, or a general sabotage ref? Does sugar actually destroy concrete?

            You would have to add it while it’s still mixing right?

                You could pour it on while it’s wet, but would that do much?

                  I’m no expert, I looked it up. It won’t destroy concrete unless crazy large amounts are dumped in the mix.

                  Yes, while mixing. Like any other chemical reaction it requires contact to make the reaction. If the contact is limited to a certain area only that area will be impacted. It’s not magic. The sugar doesn’t multiply and move itself through the median.
