Call it what it is, @nbcnews.com. Concentration camp.
Every time.
The OED defines a concentration camp as “a camp in which large numbers of people, esp. political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.”

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

The GOP just had its best chance to finally flip a legislative seat in Trump 2.0. Democrats had other ideas.
Chasity Martinez just won a rural Trump+13 in the Louisiana House in a 24-point landslide—an overperformance of 37 points.

Anyone who isn't against fascism is not for humanity. There is no compromising with fascists. Ever.
Not taking any side and watching as others sacrifice themselves is a passive form of enabling those devoted to liquidating compassion and empathy from our cultural DNA.
Don't be a fart in the wind.

As someone who wrote my dissertation on TB (anemia, and hysteria, too) I KNOW this news should terrify all of us. Look at what has happened in Russia and parts of Africa as a result of their TB outbreaks coupled with mdrTB. #everythingistuberculosis
I have been informed by U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar and confirmed by the City of El Paso, Texas that there are two known active cases of tuberculosis registered at Camp East Montana. There are also at least 18 cases of COVID-19.
I had been hearing rumors of this from my contacts for weeks.
