I hoped never to see concentration camps like the ones I grew up in appear again in this country. Reading this breaks my heart.
Oooh, and then what happened, JD?

I've seen the past exonerative tense before, but the present continuous exonerative tense is special!

"Black women's unemployment is rising."๐Ÿคก

All by itself? Magically?

The entire US, Dem and GOP, is going on close to 24 months straight of being publicly and loudly anti-civil rights (anti-DEI).

"Black women are more likely to work in the departments targeted by DOGE."

is like saying,

"Harbor seals are more likely to be found swimming in the water that happens to be rushing into a great white shark's rapidly opening mouth."๐Ÿคก

Dudes have been open and vocal about their desire to drive Black women out of leadership positions in the federal government, higher education, and private industry. That's their goal.

And yet, we still talk about these outcomes as if they're just an unfortunate side effect of generalized downturns.

"America has been vaccinating people for fifty years. If vaccines caused autism, America would have trains, okay? We would have so many trains." - Jon Allen
The painful truth.

Stop using the fascistsโ€™ language. Using their words enables them and normalizes the atrocities.

They have branded the concentration camp โ€œAlligator Alcatrazโ€ so DO NOT CALL IT THAT. I choose to call it #AligatorAuschwitz.

Not ICE: stormtroopers or secret police
Not DoJ: Gestapo

Theyโ€™re not โ€œillegalโ€ aliens they are merely undocumented.

Every word they choose is done deliberately. Do not comply.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in a one-room country gravy log cabin in Kentucky. His childhood was marked by hardship, including the death of his mother when he was nine, and he had limited formal education, but he was encouraged to read and learn by his family.

@georgetakei As a German I was grown with the phrase "never again". But I would have never believed that the US really one day would fall to the Nazis.
The "Free world" lost its biggest member.
I really hope you can turn it around - my fear still is very big.
Seen a lot on how it starts 33.
And it is still too silent - too many think still they are not at target. You all will be. Believe me.

@bposi @georgetakei What about Palestine?
@elenlaw @georgetakei ??? Don't get it. Not the topic of this thread.
@bposi @georgetakei Never Again. You were supposed to grow up with this, weren't you? Hypocrite.
@elenlaw @georgetakei I would not discuss this here under this thread. It distracts from the current topic and implies it is not important. I do not follow this path.
If there is a thread on Palestine - I am happy to answer.
I will not weight one bad against the other.
Really. This is the main issue on why all bad is coming together at the same time.

@bposi @elenlaw @georgetakei

IMHO this is the thing to do. Cancelling your experience because you have not mentionned other atrocities is, at best, awkward.
Don't get distracted by trolls ๐Ÿ‘

@elenlaw @bposi @georgetakei not being pedantic here: Gaza is no longer a concentration camp. It has become what is called a Vernichtungslager. Thatโ€™s the German word for extermination camp.
@elenlaw whataboutismnman to the rescue!

@bposi @georgetakei

I fear it's too deep now, apart from the weakling kid starver & Vietnam all the rest haven't got anywhere near cow towing to the Orangino one!

@georgetakei Wow! There you can see the true face of these "Conservatives" - they are acting like Nazis - as predicted in "Project 2025" - inclusive acting against Christians.
Do all the evangelist Trump-voters know that? I think they don't believe it, it seems to woke for them, right?
90 years ago we had a similar acting in Germany.

I'm afraid that time has come and gone...

Don't throw your hands up. We can't stop it all, but we can still stop some of it. #resist

@georgetakei That sucks. I'm not particularly religious since my younger days, but I have a Bible that has been with me since I was in my single-digit ages.

I would hate to have the only thing I have from that far back in my personal history taken from me. It even has all kinds of little skeptic notes I wrote when discovering questionable or contradictory passages.

@georgetakei

You hoped? Was not enough clue that for your whole adult life, Democrats and Republican WERE/ARE the same fascist shit?

@georgetakei Thank you for speaking up Mr. Takei, as you always do. It does make a difference.
@georgetakei โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน
@georgetakei Madness, and indeed sorrowing. Thank you for highlighting these things, Uncle George.

@georgetakei

The silence about the homeless concentration camps is deafning. California and Oregon has had them for several years but no one even cares that Americans live in the streets, over 600,000-700,000 of us are totally ignored and we are being rounded up too

Alligator Alcatraz detainees allege inhumane conditions at immigration detention center

Detainees claim they are enduring inhumane conditions, including lack of access to water, inadequate food and denial of religious rights.

@georgetakei But the fascists are so proud of Alligator Auschwitz.

@georgetakei After this (United States) inevitably ends, there will be extended trials, and plenty of people will say they just followed orders and didn't know what'sreally hoing on.
In other words, they will lie and should receive no mercy from their judges.

This cannot be fixed with midterms of impeachment - this is USA rotten to the core & beyond saving.
If US were house, it would be burned down and build from the ground anew.

It's funny that you mention not seeing something when, at the same time, you continue to ignore and hurt your followers that have low/no eyesight themselves. I'll keep asking you to make sure your social media people understand how important #AltText is to you and your followers, but nothing changes. I've lost (and continue to lose) a lot of respect for you, @georgetakei. It shouldn't take months of begging for you to do the right thing. Surely you're better than this.
@georgetakei I saw it referred to as Alligator Auschwitz. Sounds about right.

@georgetakei

They're not the wight kind of Christian

That thing is a provocation.

These people are absolutely not afraid of war. They are certain they can win.

It doesn't mean that's true. It just Hubris.

But they will kill you every way they can, slow or fast.

Don't OBEY.

America has to decide now.

@georgetakei

Hyprocisy writ large. They say no right to religion, yet they practice it daily in their cult.

They are insane, that is all.

So many insane people, with no room to store them.

@georgetakei

If there is one, there are more.

Find them.

@georgetakei Looks like Trump Derangement Syndrome isn't so deranged after all. It's the people who *didn't* have TDS that caused this.
@georgetakei
I doubt most of us can't entirely imagine how you feel.
@georgetakei there is no good concentration camps, it's a very sad time in our history, when we have strayed so far from what's right.
@georgetakei I'm quite sure the camps you had to grow up in were bad, however these death traps seem to be much worse.

@georgetakei And yet people will still take the time to, in this one thread, scold you for not using alt-text, claim that these concentration camps are worse than the ones in which you grew up, and complain that you didn't link to a primary source.

Gotta get those deckchairs arranged neatly, folks.

@georgetakei

As a German, observing our own history happen in real time helps me understand how it happened.
I've always been a great fan of Hannah Arendt and her theory of the banality of evil.
But it's just one part of the puzzle that explains the hundreds of thousands of nazis.
Pure monsters do exist after all and they're the ringleaders.

People need to stand up and stop this shit in the US. Because it's going to get worse, you can count on it.
@georgetakei Americans need to go there, en masse, and physically free those detainees. Physically dismantle the camp. They can't arrest all of you. It's a concentration camp. In America.
@georgetakei I think everyone with a soul is heartbroken. The rest gave their souls to Donald Trump in exchange for red hats and front-row seats to the atrocities. #magacult #inhumane #AlligatorAuschwitz #fascism
