ICE wants to cage up to 10,000 people in industrial warehouses — spaces built for goods, not human beings.

TOMORROW, April 25, communities across the country are fighting back.

#KierStarmer should've just said as soon as #Epstein story broke. That #Mandelson was appointed specifically because of his friendship with Epstein. Because Epstein was #Trump best friend & Mandelson moved in same socialcircle. I said this at the time.

Ossoff's Office @ossoff.senate.gov · Jun 19

Sen. Ossoff released the following statement after the City of Social Circle announced the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is no longer pursuing an ICE detention center in the city.

“From the beginning, the Social Circle community united against this proposal, which risked overwhelming the city’s infrastructure.

“This news proves yet again that public pressure and opposition works.

“I congratulate Social Circle Mayor David Keener, City Manager Eric Taylor, and the entire community on this achievement, and I will continue fighting alongside Georgia communities against overreach by this Administration.”

Trump voters love ICE, right up until it's in their backyard -- Suddenly when it's time to house 10,000 detainees in their neighborhood, they're less enthusiastic. #ICE #socialcircle #Georgia #detention #DHS

Trump Voters Love ICE, Until It's in Their Backyard

It's funny how public opinion on ICE changes the moment that DHS plans to put 10,000 detainees in your own neighborhood.

Family burial ground on the abandoned Pharr Plantation near Social Circle, Georgia

#pharrplantationnear #socialcircle #georgia #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770491/

The image depicts a weathered gravestone in grayscale. The stone stands erect amidst overgrown foliage, including various trees and shrubs that partially obscure its view. The engraving on the gravestone appears faded but legible. It is positioned within what seems to be an old cemetery or family burial ground, as suggested by the text "Alma M." visible at the top of the gravestone. This setting implies a sense of history and perhaps abandonment, given that no human presence nor any modern elements are discernible in the photograph. The overall atmosphere evokes contemplation on past lives and times passed.

Pharr Plantation house near Social Circle, Georgia

#pharrplantation #socialcircle #georgia #undefined #photography #dorothealange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770445/

The image depicts a historic two-story plantation-style home with prominent front-facing porch columns. The house appears aged, as evidenced by the weathered paint on its exterior and visible signs of wear and damage such as peeling paint and possibly structural deterioration. There's a central wooden door framed by sidelights and topped by an overhead transom window, flanked by windows set within shutters that are currently closed.

A balcony with ornamental railings is situated above the entrance, accessible via steps leading up to it on either side of the porch columns. The house has multiple chimneys protruding from its roofline in various positions, suggesting a multi-room structure and possibly fireplaces inside. The siding appears consistent but shows signs of aging.

On both sides of the home, additional windows with shutters are visible at different heights, indicating more rooms within or upper levels not directly accessible via this front façade. There's foliage partially obscuring the right side of the image, suggesting trees or bushes nearby that add to the setting’s rustic charm.

The black and white photograph conveys a sense of history and age, with the house appearing as though it has stood for many years, potentially standing in contrast against changes over time within its environment.
