The ‘christian’ racists and their shaven headed accomplices are being outnumbered in Belfast today. Their hateful comment about ‘unvetted’ people is even worse. That they use the Irish tricolour and the flag showing our four provinces for this is utterly shameful.

Days after issuing a $3.8B contract to build an immigrant tent detention camp in Fort Bliss, ICE canceled it.
The awarding and cancellation of such a large contract in such a short time is highly unusual in recent years, a ProPublica review found.

The “Invasion” Invention: The Far Right’s Long Legal Battle to Make Immigrants the Enemy
The #Trump administration is using the claim that #immigrants have “invaded” the country to justify possibly suspending habeas corpus, part of the constitutional right to due process.
A faction of the far right has been building this case for years.

While I've posted most of these over the last few weeks, I've started a gallery on my site for the Muro Loco / Wall Crazy series.
https://mikaljakubal.com/galleries/
Still a work in progress. I need to add more shots, caption all of them, write an intro. I'd like to find a place to exhibit them.
Edit to add that I'm still adjusting the gallery in mobile view. The captions override the images too much. Looks better on a big screen. I'm working on it.
