It’s getting more difficult each day to watch what is happening to our southern neighbours. Beyond belief and so troubling. So grateful to have been born in Canada. So much sorrow for southern friends and family. So inspired by the resistance!
Beyond belief is a perfect way to describe it. We used to feel that way about being born in the US. 😔 I can honestly say I never thought this could happen here but over the last 10 years, it’s become clear that was us just taking democracy for granted.
The fight for democracy does not have an end.
You should definitely want to try resisting in your country too Alberta is just the start they’re clearly always after more because fascists are NEVER satisfied!
Yep... I asked an immigrant friend a month ago if she was worried and she said, "naawww... we're fine".
I just asked her again and she said, "My dad is so fucking pissed! We can't believe this is happening! They're just grabbing anyone and sending them out of the country!"

Lindsay Graham was here a few weeks ago, talking to our sheriff... I don't like it... He's not from our state. He's been here twice before, unannounced, talking to our reps.
obviously they're all gangbangers from the "builds" not the "whites" gang. serves them right for all that construction work they've been doing and making new stuff and shit.
Call Congress daily. We will not tolerate further funding of this corrupt Bribecoin regime’s lawlessness deportation. Fight the gaslighting. Fight for humanity, due process, & rule of law with ACLU, Indivisible, 5calls, 50501, Democracy Forward, Democracy Docket. Passionate protests matter. ACT!
DeathSantis supports this because it distracts Floridians from his $10 million dollar scheme using Medicare repayment (taxpayer) funds to support his political action committees. His wife is knee deep in this as well. A formal investigation has been launched!
Why isn't trumps DOJ under orange Barbie going after DeSatan for Medicare FRAUD? This is an actual fraud and yet crickets.... Republicans coddling loyal Republicans. The good ole BOY network is alive and well. FU Florida! When hurricanes hit there will be NO ONE to help clean up or do repairs.
And not only will food prices on vegetables and fruit go up, but so will building or rebuilding homes, and so will the number of US Citizens living on the streets.
He uses the H-2B visa program, never running ads for workers in large publications or sites, that way Americans are less likely to see the ads and apply for positions at Mar A Lago or his golf clubs. Instead he hires foreign workers as he claims he can't find Americans. Pays less with more control.
And don’t forget that before you can construct, people like us are needed to clean and prepare the sights.
Building back is easier I think, and has obvious morale benefits.
Demolition folks are often unsung heroes.
Arresting construction workers & a gestapo that will arrest anyone speaking Spanish, a 50% tariff on Canadian lumber, no storm insurance, FEMA dismantled, & a very active hurricane season predicted.... Gonna be lit AF for southern red states & they'll want us blue staters to save them.
And screwing up social security by contributing and never collecting… good point… what has happened to all of their uncollected social security contributions!?!? Shouldn’t SS be awash in unclaimed cash?
I know the regime of incompetence, crime, and chaos doesn’t care about constitutional rights, but racial profiling is a violation of the 14 amendment. #Project8647
Yeah, I am not looking forward to it. Especially since our plan was to sell and move to the Pacific Northwest about this time after being in Florida for over 50 years. Trump won and computer engineering jobs disappeared for our daughter in law and mortgage rates rose and are still rising.
Watch how quickly Florida's labor force crashes. Not to mention I only saw minorities I didnt see THEIR FUCKING EMPLOYERS WHO HIRED THEM ROUNDUP UP. ITS BLATANT RACISM. PLAIN & SIMPLE
Why are people surprised?

Where are the criminals? I thought he was going after gangs and murders. So far, I’m not seeing any of that. These are the people that do all the hard work for low wages that no one else wants to do. It bad enough we have stupid tariffs. Now, we’re losing all the workers.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Try rebuilding Florida with MAGA workers. Please write and tell us how that comes out. Now deport all the farm workers too. Starve, you morons!
how proud the highway patrol must be at this act. highway patrol cops, do you jump out of bed every morning thinking, with eager joy in your hearts, that you will make a contribution to something as worthy as this?
They live for this shit.
Hardons, glazed over eyes and testosterone coursing through their veins when they wake up in the morning knowing that they will get to beat down brown people that day.
Will the Taco Regime call them criminals and MS-13 or Trende? What weird mental gymnastics will it be this time? It looks to me like these guys were at work trying to survive like anyone else. Cartel and gang members are not really known for holding blue collar jobs.
We’ll never know how many of these men were green card holders, or how long they’d been here & with families. But we’ll probably learn how many construction projects become mothballed due to a lack of workers, or how supply companies are losing work & how Florida’s tax income falls.
Oh, support your local NPR station, if you felt this kind of journalism is useful.
NPR, as a nonprofit, doesn't have to worry about whether publishing a story will be profitable or not. They already do stories on news you otherwise can only get from foreign press.
But at least the for-profit prisons and these Constellis fake-deputized, quota incentivized gast*po (contracted by our tax dollars) will make some bucks. 👊🏻 🇺🇸 🔥
Oh maga I hope you dipshits enjoy your finding out phase, after all those Hurricanes. I hope you also enjoy the no FEMA money from your diaper Don 😂. Ronnie is gonna be pissed.
Like u said hurricane season then add potential for weather reports to be delayed due to cuts and well who knows about FEMA aid if anything bad happens… yeah NOT best use of resources. Also what “criminal” would willingly do manual labor in this heat, humidity, on asphalt all day- they wouldn’t imo
Unfortunately, there will be children and seniors who have thus far been the cause of waste and abuse who will have to step up and contribute their "fair share" in order to eat.../S
If the fetus of a brain-dead woman in GA (😭) has more rights than these actual self-sufficient breathing adult people, the USA under 🤡 is officially the most shithole country on the planet of all time.
tRUMP is all about revenge and DeSantis did run against him. ICE has to find its 3000 daily victims somewhere and if tRUMP can get his detention numbers up and screw with an enemy, win/win.
tRUMP is cutting spending on FEMA aid until state governors have sufficiently groveled at his feet begging for it, so he probably figures no-one will have any money to hire laborers anyhow.
Interesting you bring up bribery and graft.
The saying "the fish rots from the head" makes me think that every Podunk police chief or sheriff has it's bagman collecting the bribes to keep ICE away from restaurants construction sites and the like.
Tom Homan gets a cut of that.
And bonuses+++.
Good thing they're also gutting emergency aid and even the weather service and their warnings about storms... if maga doesn't know about the incoming disasters this hurricane season, such things never happened. Can't people fix their own destroyed property, they ask... until it's their own.
Americans complain about housing cost
We have been building one million fewer houses a year since the 2008 economic collapse.
Obama era, brought the hate campaign for anything that could not meet the paper bag test.
Trump doubled the cost of construction materials in 2017 and 2018 with trade wars.
Perhaps then blue states and blue people should help the blue voters migrate. Then with nothing but red voters and a smaller population they will have less representation in the federal government. Probably less jobs as well. If they want a red state give it to them.
They no longer care about immigration status. Dark skin is enough. They're picking people up while they're attending lawful hearings. Cancelling visas with no notice. Now SCOTUS green-lights 1M that came here legally but trump doesn't like them so fuck 'em. Couldn't find all the "criminals".
I will never understand why Hispanics didn’t realize this is all about the Great Replacement Theory. Racist Republicans believe dark skinned people are replacing them. That’s why they are removing all dark skinned people. That’s why they are forcing women, particularly white women, to give birth.
I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Our little group of five farms had 1) Different religions; 2) Mentally & physically challenged kids; 3) Had a lesbian cousin that visited who was awesome; 4) Minorities working on the farm; 5) Elderly. Moved to the city when I was 12. They were awful.
My parents live in Florida. After last year’s hurricanes, my mom told me pretty much everyone she saw out on roofs looked like they could be immigrants. It’s just like Florida to shoot itself in the foot.
Immigrants provide a vital link in our economy. It's as if they want the economy to fail -- so they can buy the whole country for pennies on the dollar.
Can’t wait for the maga bros to get out and cut the grass and weed the lawns. But definitely please don’t use the magats to put on roofs we want them to stay on and Hurricane season is here.
Buckle up if you live in a hurricane prone area. No insurance, no FEMA, so State help and now NO ONE left to help you rebuild IF you could afford it in the first place. This will increase the homeless population so much.
Investors in real estate projects mostly voted for this so fuck them as they eat losses all over the country. One day they will see that this is Trump destroying our economy to replace our dollar with cryto he controls.
Tide turns on Trump: Musk out, tariffs crushed, ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ crumbles
“Trump’s polls are plummeting. The vast majority of Americans are rejecting him.
Oh yeah, all the homebuilders, the framer, drywall, concrete and landscaping subs are going to slow way down, forcing new builds into stagnation and costs to rise. I'll have to talk to my younger brother, a superintendent for a large builder, to see what the effort is on housing starts.
The kicker is that the raid was at the construction site for FSU student housing here. Literally supporting a state educational institution while building housing for them.
I was once handcuffed for over an hour, and having your arms forced back like that becomes painful, shoulders ached for a while after. Hopefully the Latin community will never vote for Republican again.
I did a quick search and this came up. It's interesting to note that the owners are also possibly Mexican. The 4 men arrested are not only accused of hiring the undocumented but of harboring them (whatever that means). "Crickets" about other employer arrests.
Are we supposed to believe that all these men are gang members, violent, insane bla bla bla. Or is it now against public safety to have these men work hard, do essential work and pay taxes.
These people are *working*.
The people going to court for immigration hearings are following our laws.
Targeting courts and job sites is THE stupidest tactic, in addition to the cruelty.
Why don’t they fine the people that hire them.This is just a vicious cycle,the employers will always find someone that is desperate for work to feed their family with no consequences for the employer.

Best of luck, Florida.

I presume you’ve seen how this popularly elected criminal disregards all law to do what he wants and purposely drives the issues to the courts.
Thanx for the support and we hope u NEVER have to go thru this too.
Forgive us about that stupid 51 thing
if you do - fuck you.

It's why Trump wants to end NPR.

That's what all the orange and yellow vests are for, right?

Trump MUST go!
No function.
No race.
No value judgement.
They are people who have rights to due process.
Also MAGA: “Let’s raid workplaces because that’s where all the migrants are!”
Let this be a lesson business owners, pay protection or ICE might show up at your job site.

THESE ARE PEOPLE BEING SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES THAT DEPEND ON THEM FOR FOOD AND SHELTER.

Oh wait… It’s 0, instead it?
Yeah.
I bet it’s 0.

Mother Nature is about to turn Florida blue...
(Narrator: Oxymoron Alert ⚠️ )
Apparently, nomadic immigrant rapists and terrorists report for duty pretty faithfully.
The White House tells us they were all freeloaders mooching off the taxpayers and not contributing to society.
Yet they seem to keep raiding job sites.
Hmmm…
Bug Kingdom.
One of my few memories was one day I opened my toy box and a million black roaches came streaming out. I screamed and ran!
Must have dropped some food or something in there. I was only 3
