Deep in the hazardous and ecologically fragile Everglades, hundreds of migrants are confined in cages in a makeshift tent detention facility Florida’s Republican governor calls “safe and secure” and Democratic lawmakers call “inhumane.”
Two days after filing a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for being “unlawfully denied entry” to inspect conditions at the facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” members of Congress and state representatives were given a limited tour Saturday to inspect conditions after calling the lack of access a “deliberate obstruction meant to hide what’s really happening behind those gates,” according to a joint statement from lawmakers.
They said they heard detainees shouting for help and crying out “libertad”— Spanish for “freedom” — amid sweltering heat, bug infestations and meager meals.
Florida concentration camp.
concentrated into cages in a prison camp. the word we used to use for this was “concentration camp.”
this particular iteration of fascism is already to death camps. stop measuring 47’s regime from when 47 became 47, and instead on when he became 45. we are 8 years into the nazi administrative coup, 1937. stop convincing yourself this is the start and we have to build up our strength to resist what’s to come. we must use our strength to resist what is here now.
if you’re wondering where the non-death camp concentration camps were, they’re state and federal prisons like Red Onion in VA. just not enough people listened to black people to realize republican’s “tough on crime” has for decades been “we need a final solution to the latin and black question”
here are the things to know.
- fascism is real
- america is fascist
- fascism is a deadly virus that only ever leads to death in the millions
- the killing is already happening. world war ii “started” when germany invaded poland, however the first fighting of the second world war began when Japan invaded China in 1931. i’m saying world war ii started February, 2014. now, 11 years in, it’s starting to get hot for everyone who isn’t Japan’s russia or China’s Ukraine.
- the fascists want you to think of this camp as “alligator alcatraz.” that’s why they told you to call it that. it’s proof that the conservatives own the entire media apparatus that every outlet calls it this. a better name for it would be alligator auschwitz
Yes, that’s what I said except I said it with three words.
i was trying to post as a top level comment. my client fucked up
Both formats are valid and important. They complement one another, not conflict.
This is what the lawmakers saw after being denied entry.
These are concentration camps.
We didn’t know what was going on at Auschwitz until late '44. Very end of the war.
There are sick fucks excited about these camps, and they are in there commiting or ready to commit state ordained crimes against humanity. Americans, on American soil, to Americans.
ICE got $100 billion by 2029.
Get your fucking guns locked and loaded, fascism has finally arrived in America.
We pissed on the legacy of the fighters of WW2, and hey, whaddayaknow, let the infection grow back and you’ll have to fight it again.
It’s on domestic soil this time, very convenient, you won’t have to invade a country on the other side of the fucking planet for once but get to wage war on your home turf!
I’m sure you don’t mean it that way, but your last sentence implies it would be better if your fellow Americans would be doing it somewhere else to somebody else. Or that you think Americans could never do such a thing… Let’s just say there is a big enough list of places, where Americans did exactly this kind of crimes against humanity to brown people *cough* Abu Ghraib
So I am not exactly surprised that now the fascists came home, after America didn’t really stop their own elsewhere.
“Now that anyone who remembers WW2 is dead, we’re free to repeat it almost exactly.”
Fuck the USA.
My grandmother is a veteran from WWII, she remembers and she’s pissed
The biggest fear I have about this is that even after this is all over there will be no justice for these people.
If Democrats win they will mumble something about “political unity” or how it’s “time to heal” or some equally vapid shit and move on. There will be no Nuremberg trials for these fascists and this will all be added to the list of American atrocities that conservatives like to rail against being taught such as the Trail of Tears, slavery, segregation, Gaza genocide, Japanese internment and so on. To quote the fascist in charge: “when you’re famous(powerful) they let you do it”.
I would love to be proven wrong but the historical track record is not making this look likely.
I think your wrong, but only because I think this will get a hell of a lot more painful to people until they drop their lives to rise up to stop it. Dark days are in the future.
I hope I’m wrong too. We’ll see.
