Don’t look away. This is what Libya’s migrant detention facilities look like. This is what Trump is doing.
Amnesty International called Libya’s migrant detention centers a “hellscape,” where beatings and sexual violence are rampant and there are many reports of trafficking and even slavery.

Correct , the fascists are incrementally moving towards the end goal, which is the disappearance of any person who goes against them,to do that they will have to test the waters a bit less each time. they will target Americans that have done heinous acts to normalize citizens to the new social norm.
The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

Just saw data from Pew Research that said that 32% of men didn't read a single book over the past year. And, that's self-reported data so the number is probably much worse.
This is why I don't argue with men. Too many of them are just going on vibes and testosterone.
