Alligator Alcatraz is the American Dachau. The first concentration camp. The Nazis initially portrayed Dachau as a proper prison with proper treatment.
Trump prefers to promote the cruelty and barbarism.

And meanwhile in Canada, Prime Minister Carney has announced that building yet another oil pipeline is "nation-building."
This after we just spent $34 billion of public money on TMX. And we pay to subsidize every barrel.
Canada now leads the world in increased oil production.

Thanks to you guys for continuing to point this abomination out. Harris needs to grow a backbone and stop pretending he doesn’t know what’s going on or saying there’s nothing he can do. His shameful inaction is the reason the MayDay 3 + other Shannon protestors have had to take the actions they have

In yet another glaring example of media (and lib/Dem) messaging failure, Donald Musk claims only 6% of federal workers go to office.
Wrong: 54% do and remaining 46% go about 3 days/wk.
That means 81% of all hours worked on-site.
They just lie.
