    As a native Floridian this breaks my heart. In my own view immigrants have an even greater claim to being American than I do They chose us, this nation created of immigrants. My family may have been here since the late 1600s, but I’m still only American by accident of birth.

    There’s a reason I now live on the opposite corner of the continent.

    I am sickened by the amount of United States citizens living with the luxury of due process revelling in the kidnap and persecution of others

        Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

        There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    It’s so ironic that South Florida always votes red. The people at highest risk of deportation are the biggest Trump simps. They literally voted for this. And their reason they are so hardcore republican is always “in my country we know what dictators do.”

    Is this because Florida is the state experiment for project 2025? They’re enacting state versions of the federal EO/laws.

    From a presentation standpoint, I am not getting a lot of information from the sizes of the circles. The size scale is helpful when you’re trying to display some continuous features where relative comparisons are meaningful. In this case, it’s really hard to pause the meanings, especially in FL, where the whole thing is just red.

    In Oregon I believe it’s actually a law that police and officials cannot help ICE or other immigration agencies except under rare circumstances.

    Edit: I just looked it up.

    It is against Oregon law for state and local law enforcement or public agencies (state and local government offices) in the state of Oregon to participate directly or indirectly in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

      Only if you protect it.

      Pacific Northwest got some real interesting rascals.

      Proud boys started in the Pacific Northwest. On the eastern side, domestic terrorist Matt Shea wants to split from WA.

      It won’t be hard for these weeds to sprout back up.

        That may be true, but consider this; just because the gun originated in China, it doesn’t mean China is to blame for the US’s need to worship them.

        The Pacific Northwest may have it a weeds, but as a whole, we are pretty well known as a mostly liberal region. And while those weeds actually do sprout on occasion, there’s a reason why they never bloom:
