Hundreds of people swept up in the #Trump admin’s crackdown on #immigration are being kept at #overcrowded #Krome detention in #Miami, sleeping on cement floors amid the stench of body odor & raw #sewage – conditions that lawyers, families & fmr detainees call #inhumane. One woman…said she & fellow detainees were left in #shackles & #chains on buses overnight, so long that some urinated on themselves. She said she was put in a cell w/ ~30 women before she was deported.

Think McDonald’s and Starbucks are the world’s biggest food and beverage chains in terms of locations? Think again. Mixue Ice Cream and Tea, China's largest bubble tea and drinks chain famous for its snow king mascot and low prices, boasts more outlets than both U.S. brands.

You’re not going to get more social cohesion by taking away rights and exeptionalising one group over another. You need to support and nurture your people. You can’t deprive them by leaving them in poverty or denying them healthcare and expect them to fall into line. Even if we’re banned from masks and chains.
