A pause with the American Gestapo's big plans, and Mr. Stephen Glosser-Miller will NOT go the way of the dodo.
People in Palestine are still dying, and we are murdering girls in Iran for the oil . . . Imagine:
4,000 civilian buildings damaged since the beginning of US-Israeli attacks. Hundreds of commercial units were destroyed, and several hospitals were forced out of service.

But the feds are hiring: Schizoid Pedophile and Rapist in Chief: You are fired, but come back again!
For decades, federal jobs helped Black women build stable middle-class lives. Trump’s purge of the federal workforce stripped thousands of those jobs away. If this administration is hiring again, start by hiring those Black women back.

Relocation, or migration. I'm finishing up your book, The Case for Open Borders, ready for an interview for broadcasting here on the Oregon Coast.
South Carolina saw the largest net migration gain per 10,000 residents in 2025.
The South and Mountain West attracted the most new residents overall.
Meanwhile, high-cost states like California and New York continued to see net population outflows.
Nearly 15 million Americans moved in 2025, with many relocating across state lines in search of lower costs, job opportunities, and warmer climates.

Here in Newport, Oregon, we hold steady at 10,000 resident population, but when the summer fun hits, 50,000 can come on down for some Pacific coast beach fun. Tourism, bad v. good? Water, sewer, traffic, ecosystem load?

Good, but sad, reading: "How the ‘Galápagos of west Africa’ is plundered by floating fish factories."
Steel? Mexican authorities have suspended import activities and begun canceling permits for 350 companies involved in steel imports.

Prepping warehouses:
Although often described as the “Hagerstown facility”, (Maryland) the building is actually in the much smaller town of Williamsport, home to 2,000 people. If ICE uses this facility at (or over) its stated initial capacity of 1,500 people, the population of the town will effectively double in size.
The building currently has four toilets and two water fountains. It was designed as a logistics hub, allocated just six Equivalent Dwelling Units of water by the city of Hagerstown, a measure meant for a warehouse where trucks come and go, not a facility where 1,500 human beings are supposed to live. Given the size of the facility, I can’t imagine they will stop at 1,500 if they actually manage to open this facility.
Hagerstown has said it doesn’t have the water capacity for a project like this. County commissioners have floated the idea of drilling wells or trucking water in, but even the volunteer researchers tracking this project have pointed out that trucking water for a facility of this size would be, to put it mildly, quite a task.
The federal government has now spent at least $215 million on the site. The $102.4 million purchase in January was followed last week by a $113 million build-out and operations contract awarded to KVG LLC, a firm based in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. That contract has options to grow to $642 million over three years.
