@heidilifeldman here's a related WaPo article that includes addresses https://archive.ph/ZOFbz
some additional context about Hagerstown:
the city is often described as a blue city surrounded by a deep red county. Washington County was host to "The People's Convoy" during the pandemic lockdowns https://wjla.com/news/local/two-more-truck-convoystruck-convoy-protest-dc-maryland-virginia-what-we-know-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-protest-peoples-american-truckers-freedom-canadaalso, the region has longstanding ties to the KKK:

ICE plans mega-concentration camps. If in your state, do all you can to prevent them from happening. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-01-29/us-spends-hundreds-of-millions-on-warehouses-for-ice-detention-centers 1/2
@heidilifeldman @benroyce They are not building ‘prisons’ (which would imply due process had been followed) nor ‘warehouses’ (because they’re not storing commodities or goods), they’re building good old fashioned concentration camps. Doubtless the main objections will come from the NIMBYs.

Instead of buying warehouses, they should be paying their debts:

Attached: 1 image 🇺🇳🇺🇸 The UN is facing financial collapse due to non-payment of contributions by member states, Secretary-General Guterres said. As of the end of 2025, the arrears on contributions had reached a record $1.57 billion. The Secretary-General warned that the UN could run out of funds by July. Currently, the US debt is $2.19 billion to the organization’s regular budget, $1.88 billion for active peacekeeping missions and another $528 million for past operations.

It's incredible,when you think about it, billions of dollars taken away from program that helped people to later invest them in programs that hurt people.
And they continue to say they protect Christianity? Their actions are the opposite of what Christianity stands for. -

@paulschoe @heidilifeldman That's slavery, but "au goût du jour". The slavers didn't quit after being defeated!

The more I think about this, the more I think organizing an ongoing protest would be fairly easy to do, and could add in many of the visitors to the area.
It's not that far from the parks, and right off of the Beeline for anyone going from Orlando to the eastern beaches.
It's not like their freaking Alcatraz, this is right near all the tourist destinations.
And freaking Daniel Webster... I thought we'd gotten rid of him.
@czarbucks @heidilifeldman
That's exactly right! In my state we are even driving out into the country to protest outside proposed concentration camp sites, and they are getting more pushback from the locals than they expected. The presence of such a facility does not create jobs for locals, and it hurts property values. People are listening to those arguments if they don't already care about the moral aspect.Pressure IS working, it just doesn't work all at once.

@heidilifeldman on a related note, anyone know of a good blueprint for 3D whistle printing? I’ve heard about this but forget where

UPDATE: the owners of the industrial building are no longer selling it.
@kevincianfarini @heidilifeldman do they plan to lease it or give DHS access in any way?

@heidilifeldman of course fucking NH signed up. I feel like every politician there has forgotten their motto of "Live free or die" New England's mostly liberal but for some reason they've been like "yeah but what if we kissed bigoted republican ass?!" for years now.

@masukomi (the Wikipedia article does not adequately capture how influential people from the free state people have been here. They've been running for local office like crazy and have now pretty much taken over the state house, aligned with MAGA Republicans.)
