Colombia, which eventually backed down, slammed the US' treatment of migrants since Trump came to power.

Why do they continue to repeat this narrative? Colombia wanted the migrants to be deported under humanly conditions. The US did that, now Colombia will take them. The threats of sanctions has nothing to do with it but it makes Trump look strong.

I knew the concentration camps were coming, but just after ten days? Holy shit

The faster they move the more they can get done before their opponents can mobilise resistance.

I would say that so far, there appears to be much less public resistance to Republican policies than in previous years. The Democrats appear to be at sea. The left's working class base is split. Public institutions are too busy protecting their turf, making gestures at cooperating with the new world order rather than trying to resist.

It feels like last time there was an assumption that ~~Trump and MAGA politics~~ a criminal dictator and fascist politics were a blip or aberration from the norm, now there's an acceptance that they're institutionalised.

Rather unfortunately, the mass deportations was one of the most popular parts of Trump’s platform. Everybody knows mass deportation comes with concentration camps. It’s not that his voters are unaware of it, they actively love it!

Can they even hold that many?

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 11 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

No, they can't. Guantanamo is a very harsh environment with very small capacity

Edit: well, I guess if the plan is to starve them and put them in unliveable conditions where disease is rampant and they begin to die in droves..yes it would make sense then.

They looked at Auschwitz, realized that zirkon B was too expensive, and decided that Malaria and Dysentery can do it for cheaper.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Literally 0 humanity. Did the nazis even pretend to care about christ?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 14 hours ago

About as much as Trump does

[–] seejur@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Yes, religion is a powerful tool to justify all kind of inhumanities

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 19 hours ago

When that breaks out, he'll probably issue an executive order to make them drink bleach

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Not in any safe manner. Safe for the assholes running the show that is.

My grandmother fought in the Dutch resistance, helped people who were Jewish escape, and was put in a camp. She died a few years ago. This is how that happened, too. And we're all watching. Even with americas vaunted 2nd amendment, Russian-backed fascists just walked in and took over, and everyone is just watching them. No riots, no fighting back, just passive resistance.

I wish all of you the best of luck. I'm going to go hug my kids.

Your grandmother sounds like a fucking hero

[–] gift_of_gab@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

She really was. The war changed her forever, though. On her death bed she disavowed her lifelong Roman Catholicism, saying "No God would allow what I have seen and lived."

Before that she was an absolute badass and had many dalliances with a man of the clergy, causing his expulsion from the order.

It's sorta like a camp, but concentrated on one type of person....

Doesn't seem like misreporting. I found other sources reporting it too.

I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who've probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it'd be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.

Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:

America has a concentration camp now. I won't send you anything more...it's kind of rude that I'm sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/

As an added note, they deported multiple children to Colombia the other day. Half the people they've arrested in specific areas have zero criminal records. Some are even US citizens. This is not for immigrants, this a Latino concentration camp.

I know two people first hand who have been here for over 30 years with no criminal records who are being detained. These are the people being sent to Guantanamo.
