Dachau began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility. Auschwitz began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility. Majdanek began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility.
Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

a fascist says what?
"we are going to murder americans without due process"
~pam bondi, US attorney general
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

“Should Dems tone down their rhetoric?”

Um, the President shared a meme of him invading Chicago with military helicopters and renamed the Department of the Defense to the Department of War.

And that’s just this week.

So, American Christians, let me see if i have this logic right,
Trump survived the assassination attempt because God wanted him to live, but, since Charlie Kirk died, I guess that means God wanted him to shut the fuck up about Jeffery Epstein.

So when Putin is killed are we supposed to show our respect? Give our condolences? Send our prayers? Call him a family man?

"Americans are weak and stupid they won't do shit to stop Trump" stop it. Log off.

Meaningful resistance in LA and other cities. Millions activated and hitting the streets. Plummeting polls. Simmering anger

And instead of encouraging it you tell ppl it's hopeless. The fuck is wrong with you

they need a raise, not deportation
Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

I believe that's correct. It's about creating the most lavishly funded ethnic cleansing operation in world history.
Am I reading this correctly? ICE’s budget for the ethnic cleansing of America will be somewhere between the military budgets of France and the UK?

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

1/23 🚨🧵This should be a MUCH bigger story.

The White House, under pressure from Bukele, quietly dismissed U.S. terrorism-related charges against MS-13 leaders, undoing the U.S.-led Joint Task Force dismantling the transnational gang.

THIS is why the deportations had to be a show.

It is reported that the parliament of Iran has approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The final decision will allegedly be made by security authorities.

About 1/3 of the global oil supply goes through the Strait.
