Deep in the hazardous and ecologically fragile Everglades, hundreds of migrants are confined in cages in a makeshift tent detention facility Florida’s Republican governor calls “safe and secure” and Democratic lawmakers call “inhumane.”

Two days after filing a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for being “unlawfully denied entry” to inspect conditions at the facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” members of Congress and state representatives were given a limited tour Saturday to inspect conditions after calling the lack of access a “deliberate obstruction meant to hide what’s really happening behind those gates,” according to a joint statement from lawmakers.

They said they heard detainees shouting for help and crying out “libertad”— Spanish for “freedom” — amid sweltering heat, bug infestations and meager meals.

Florida concentration camp.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

concentrated into cages in a prison camp. the word we used to use for this was "concentration camp."

this particular iteration of fascism is already to death camps. stop measuring 47's regime from when 47 became 47, and instead on when he became 45. we are 8 years into the nazi administrative coup, 1937. stop convincing yourself this is the start and we have to build up our strength to resist what's to come. we must use our strength to resist what is here now.

if you're wondering where the non-death camp concentration camps were, they're state and federal prisons like Red Onion in VA. just not enough people listened to black people to realize republican's "tough on crime" has for decades been "we need a final solution to the latin and black question"

here are the things to know.

  1. fascism is real
  2. america is fascist
  3. fascism is a deadly virus that only ever leads to death in the millions
  4. the killing is already happening. world war ii "started" when germany invaded poland, however the first fighting of the second world war began when Japan invaded China in 1931. i'm saying world war ii started February, 2014. now, 11 years in, it's starting to get hot for everyone who isn't Japan's russia or China's Ukraine.
  5. the fascists want you to think of this camp as "alligator alcatraz." that's why they told you to call it that. it's proof that the conservatives own the entire media apparatus that every outlet calls it this. a better name for it would be alligator auschwitz

Both formats are valid and important. They complement one another, not conflict.
