The Department of Homeland Security is using a repurposed $55 billion Navy contract to convert warehouses into makeshift jails and plan sprawling tent cities in remote areas.

    The US is already the most imprisoned nation in the world. Now we’re aiming to do a rerun of the WWII internment camps,eomething that I was raised to believe was bad. Even my MAGA parents believed internment camps were bad when I was a kid but this is somehow different.

    “the goal is for the facilities to house as many as 10,000 people each

    that’s more than 3 times the population of the town i live in

    to everyone who sat out or voted 3rd party: how are you enjoying holocaust 2.0 so far?

        the united states will never stop fellating israel. no matter who is president.

        but now we have genocide in gaza AND in the states. “sanctimonious and superior” perfectly describes the attitude of 3rd party/abstainers. and no, i will never stop shitting on those people too, because people are being murdered in the street, and too many people were shouting at the top of their lungs that this is exactly what would happen under trump, for it to be a case of “i didn’t know it would be that bad!!”

          The third party voters are the only people you can’t shit on. Even if all of them voted for Harris she would have still lost because Harris was dumb and because of the lesser of two evil rhetoric and shitty political system that you where fine with . Dumb people decided that Trump was better for the economy. Trump will get away with everything because the population never try to force real accountability. Bush, Obama , Biden and Trump should all rot in jail for complicity in war crimes

            wow. ironclad argument LOL

            population never try to force real accountability

            how are you doing with that? trying to convince people to vote for the guaranteed fail? it’s hilarious how you talk about “harris was always going to lose,” while at the same time trying to imply that voting 3rd party was a good idea. also, did you think jill stein (or whoever the fuck) was going to snap her fingers and end the genocide in gaza?

            at any rate, we’re in a fascist authoritarian police state now, so i’m skeptical that the votes will ever matter again

                derek chauvin was convicted of all murder charges for killing george floyd

                the people who murdered renee good and alex pretti not only face no charges, but apparently have “total immunity,” just like the rest of the nazis

                it may be plausibly argued that chauvin didn’t intend to kill floyd. renee good was shot in the fucking face. alex pretti was shot 9 times. no charges. we haven’t even mentioned all the other people ICE has murdered, without consequence

                yes, black people have been oppressed, harrassed, murdered, for the entirety of this country’s history. but to talk like trump’s current fascist police state regime is exactly the same as…ever, is disingenuous at best

                i’m not trying to argue that things weren’t always bad. only that it’s even worse now.
