The author of this article "visited four continents to write a global history of concentration camps. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model: mass civilian detention without real trials targeting vulnerable groups for political gain based on ethnicity, race, religion or political affiliation rather than for crimes committed. And its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country."

Surprised to read this from corporate news.

People are responding to ICE by barricading ICE buildings, trying to get their permits revoked, forming rapid response networks, getting hotels to stop hosting the feds, helping people outside of immigration courts, among other initiatives such as changing policy to allow people to do remote check-ins to immigration court so to avoid ICE abducting people there.

@pfitz The case for calling Florida's Alligator Auschwitz a concentration camp: because it *is* a concentration camp.
@pfitz you will either kill your gestapo or you will allow this concentration camp stage of fascism. I am done hearing talk about this.
