Gotta throw NH in there too. Goddamn fucking free stater libertarians fucked that state
It’s the only one without legal weed too. Fucking stupid state politicians.
They do have a medical program. They're also far from the only state that hasn't legalized recreational cannabis, though I agree they are an anomaly in New England.
The only possible reason I can think of is the NH govt wants to wait until it's federally legal so they can control the market like they do with liquor stores. But yeah, it's embarrassing for all the shared borders to lead to legal weed while NH isn't.
If you haven’t read “A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear”, I highly recommend it
As a native Floridian this breaks my heart. In my own view immigrants have an even greater claim to being American than I do They chose us, this nation created of immigrants. My family may have been here since the late 1600s, but I'm still only American by accident of birth.
There's a reason I now live on the opposite corner of the continent.
Dear fucking god, Florida.
It's infected. We gotta put it down.
It's the canary in the cole mine. It's already down. Now let's shuffle the rest of US out of this regime so we don't all go down....
I am sickened by the amount of United States citizens living with the luxury of due process revelling in the kidnap and persecution of others
if one person doesn't have due process, no one does
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
preach fellow dweller in gaseous environs!!!
It’s not a luxury, it’s your right.
whats up with Florida? I can understand South Texas and their uptick. But FLORIDA? Am I missing something?
DeSantis has spent the past decade radicalizing Florida. He hasn't stopped, we just can't hear it over the noise from Trump.
I'll also point out that both Florida and Texas were increasingly blue. The increasing radicalization of both states is a deliberate effort to prevent national Democratic party power in the future, a test case for things that they want to do nationally, and provides a power base from which they can try to leverage that power to affect everyone in the country.
DeSantis playing along with Trump, what else?
If we indiscriminately deport brown people then we can ensure the state stays red.
It’s so ironic that South Florida always votes red. The people at highest risk of deportation are the biggest Trump simps. They literally voted for this. And their reason they are so hardcore republican is always “in my country we know what dictators do.”
Come to the PNW immigrant friends, we are happy to have you!
You people rock, I almost stayed up there after college.
You should study the history of Oregon
Everywhere has bad history. The point is not to repeat it.
True but PNW has let's say a "culture" that is rooted in that law esp more rural areas
The border doesn't seem to have that much of a problem. Funny.
Is this because Florida is the state experiment for project 2025? They're enacting state versions of the federal EO/laws.
From a presentation standpoint, I am not getting a lot of information from the sizes of the circles. The size scale is helpful when you're trying to display some continuous features where relative comparisons are meaningful. In this case, it's really hard to pause the meanings, especially in FL, where the whole thing is just red.
I wonder what those two dots near the reservations in MN are doing.
I live in Illinois. Who the fuck is that one gray dot.
Entity: McHenry County Sheriff's Office
Location: McHenry County, IL
Type of Agreement: Jail Enforcement
Status: Applied, never approved
In Oregon I believe it's actually a law that police and officials cannot help ICE or other immigration agencies except under rare circumstances.
Edit: I just looked it up.
It is against Oregon law for state and local law enforcement or public agencies (state and local government offices) in the state of Oregon to participate directly or indirectly in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

New Mexico doesn't seem to be interested. I wonder why.
Lujan-Grisham would be my bet. She told the drillers and loggers to fuck of, as well.
She's a huge part of the why. Agreed.
Way to go WA! Proud to live here.
Only if you protect it.
Pacific Northwest got some real interesting rascals.
Proud boys started in the Pacific Northwest. On the eastern side, domestic terrorist Matt Shea wants to split from WA.
It won't be hard for these weeds to sprout back up.
That may be true, but consider this; just because the gun originated in China, it doesn’t mean China is to blame for the US’s need to worship them.
The Pacific Northwest may have it a weeds, but as a whole, we are pretty well known as a mostly liberal region. And while those weeds actually do sprout on occasion, there’s a reason why they never bloom:
Looking good Hawaii!
West coast holding the line.
WTF, Wisconsin?! We were proud to welcome among the highest numbers of people from Laos, and our agriculture depends on immigrants to function. This state is so divided against itself.
I tend not to read the details on the MAGAchanics of all this, but has anyone seen a cost/benefit analysis showing how much all these enforcements and deportations are costing the taxpayers, and what kind of dollar return is expected? Or is it all kind of lumped into a War to Save Your Freedom, where no cost is too high and questioning the cost = treason?
Map already needs to be updated. County in Pennsylvania just applied:
