Philip Glass was the last person to publicly withdraw from the Kennedy Center before Trump threw his tantrum, and I like to think heβs the one who broke him

And there are people who have been dealing with the violence of the border & migration for DECADES, in & out of presidential admins of both parties! And not just in the last 12 months!
I don't care for ppl pretending like all of this happened in 12 months (it did not) nor pretending like people don't care unless there is naked self interest on their doorstep. Ofc Minneapolis responded when ICE came to town! Ofc Surprise, Arizona responded when an ICE facilty came to their town!
08.02.2026 09:55 β π 10 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It is not true that "no one cares unless it's in their backyard." ICE has been built up for yrs, & many Americans have been opposed to these camps (& to incarceration in general) for years. Ofc, when abstract plans turn into concrete plans, local communities resist in concrete ways. This make sent.
