He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

The Trump Administration wants people who will cost more money to society over the rest of their lifespan than they will generate in economic output during that time to die. It's really not more complicated than that.

I’m touched by this. we need servant leaders who understand their obligation is to the people they represent. they should be doing stuff like this as part of their actual job
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It’s all so tragically predictable.
REMINDER: we’re at Step 3 in the Trump Market Fraud & Self-Enrichment Scheme:
Step 1: Short the market
Step 2: Announce tariffs
Step 3: Market crashes
Step 4: Buy on the dip
Step 5: Extort favours from countries
Step 6: Scrap tariffs
Step 7: Market rises
Step 8: Sell on the rise, bank the profits.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
