'The land of the free' has one of the highest incarciration rates world wide (source).
It must be exceptionally safe around there, no? -
Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes.
I want every Democratic politician to be repeating this every chance they get, a modern day "Carthage must be destroyed." My greatest fear is that when this is done, and Democrats are eventually back in power, that they will fall back on the same suicidal tendencies that got us here in the first place. Obama came into power on the back of the criminal Bush administration, and his first act of office was to declare "it's time to move on," and to announce that no members of the prior regime would be prosecuted. And Biden did the same after the first Trump term. We need to be willing to hold people accountable. And we need to be talking about this now. We need to fully embrace the idea of prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes against humanity. We cannot declare it's time to move on and to let them get away with what they have done.
And no, "I'm just following orders" is not an excuse. Anyone who says that deserves to hang.
Yeah but in a country dumb enough to elect Donald Trump twice? And before that Joe Biden? Obama? Bush? TWICE. BOTH BUSHES.
Maybe a bit harsh to throw Obama in there, because the other options were bleak too. -

The absurd irony of all these "Good Christians" testing the limits of their own religion's capacity to incarcerate hypocrites, liars, and golden idol worshipers in a hell they would certainly end up in after they die.

There is no profit in sheltering the homeless. Those ICE camps are all the rage amongst investors ... particularly private equity firms. Private equity firms will do literal evil to make a few dollars.

I hope things will get better someday. I don't know if it will happen in our lifetime, but I do believe that the US will improve and become a nation that is for the people and not a nation for the corporation.
There was a very limited glimmer of that at a couple points in its history. I mean it's not alone in the world there, but clearly it's something all peoples yearn for.

Well, I'm sure a human domicile would be a bit more robust than "alligator Alcatraz" so instead of 8 days, it might take more like.... 8 weeks? To build something comparable for the homeless?
Depending on how complex each housing unit is (bathrooms/kitchens/whatever) possibly more or less. Idk.
But knowing that the world runs on capitalist dollars, there's no profit in it. They can't pay rent, they don't have any money, and they would actively cost you money, either in property tax, water, power, and/or food... Not to mention any replacement costs for any fixtures or furniture that's damaged/stolen.
Not saying the unhoused are thieves, but a nontrivial number of them are desperate, and desperate people do things that they otherwise wouldn't consider doing.
In any case, the solution to the homeless "problem" (being that people are homeless at all) is not just housing, but also community services to get any drug users into their respective rehabilitation programs, and anyone willing and able to work, into job placements... Mental health services...
All of these things cost money and don't yield any profits, so I understand why they're not done. That doesn't mean I'm ok with it not being done, it's a shame that we've left a portion of the population to fend for themselves on the streets and we almost universally dehumanize them as less than a person because they're homeless. They're people. We should take care of them because they're people.
No child left behind, but anyone post highschool that's living on the streets, fuck them.... I guess.

This is what conservatives are. Don't forget it. They will always choose performative cruelty. It's built into the very core of their diseased culture.

fun fact: they're probably gonna put the homeless there anyways, as being poor is illegal in the US.

Where are they going to deport all our homeless poor to?
Remember? Those people who used to have homes like the one you could have possibly purchased? Perhaps a homeless person used to live in your house at some point in time? Maybe they lost their job, income or became ill or had an accident?
They could be any color. But since they haven't showered, maybe they look brown? Does that mean they can just be deported?

Nuremberg trials
wrote on last edited by [email protected]the nuremberg trials were a joke. only 22 people were tried and it was more of a political show to show to their own soldiers who fought hard that they were doing something about the nazis, while actually they abducted a lot of the scientists and made them work for themselves.
i wish there had been actually meaningful trials. but i guess the ruling class is never gonna punish itself.

I don’t suppose anyone thought of humane conditions while building a concentration camp in a Florida swamp. Even prisoners deserve something to control the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes, or were causing yet more needless deaths
And yes, employees overseeing obviously inhumane conditions should absolutely face justice for those illnesses and deaths
the mosquitoes,
i suspect the fucking mosquitoes or whatever insects there will be will probably be worst.
