I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, Iโ€™m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

It was and always was and is about racism and xenophobia.

Iโ€™m with you. Every minute, every second is a ritual to stay sane. I can tell you, though, finding joy is my act of defiance and what keeps me going. Hang in there. There is light in all of us who are equally in rage over this.

We know the truth. The proof is in the pictures and in the orange oneโ€™s character.

We feel the same way. Why subject ourselves to his cruelty, stupidity, and incessant lies. I can read what he says, but to watch his scowling face with its orange chemical tanning agents โ€” nope, thatโ€™s masochism.

This is especially deplorable with such significant loss of life, to include 14 children. None of it would have occurred if MAGA/DOGE didnโ€™t slash our nationโ€™s once respected and esteemed weather service. Once again, note to MAGAts: FAFO #FAFO

A felon married twice to two immigrants is telling us the problem is immigrants and felons. Ponder this evil.
