@futurebird The swerve that scares me is when more and more of the internment camps get converted into labor camps. If that's the plan, it might explain why they don't feel an urge to deport people quickly. I'm aware of at least one case where an agricultural worker got abducted into one of Trump's camps and then forced* to perform the same sort of farmwork he was performing before but now being paid about as much per day or per week as he used to get paid per hour
* Asterisk
ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.
Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.
It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.
Lula: "If Trump was Brazilian and if he did what happened at Capitol Hill, he’d also be on trial in Brazil."
Holding political figures accountable for their crimes.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has hit back at Donald Trump’s tariff threats, saying that his American counterpart was elected as the leader of the United States and “not to be the emperor of the world.”
In 1994 the Pentium FDIV bug that caused 1 in 9,000,000,000 calculations to be slightly inaccurate lead to a massive recall after Intel downplayed it.
In 2025 it’s normal for tech companies to sell software that is just lying outright and half of the time fails at the simplest calculations.
