One of my Canadian friends called it "Alligator Auschwitz". I think we should all call it that exclusively and incessantly.

And just like that, conservatives have brought us back to some of the most disgusting times in history.
Conservatives: Making America Great again
This is the absolute worst time to be vindicated in your "radical end of the world" predictions. I hope everyone who said people were "just overreacting" are welcoming the leopards into their homes with smiling faces.
Making Holocaust great again
"Oh nice, we've discovered new photos of the WWII concentration camps for Japanese Americans."
I feel absolutely sick to my stomach.
It sickens me that we've not only gotten here, but we managed to do it quickly enough that there's a living public figure who survived those camps
Their definition of great has always been when slavery is still allowed.
fucking disgrace, all these just to detain migrants. Meanwhile in Wisconin in 2020, a white kid shooting 3 black men gets off scot free. I forgot his name, the chubby kid with a puchable face.
found it, kyle fucking rittenhouse. Jesus that case made my blood boiled.
Hate to break it to you, but everyone involved in that case was white. They also over charged trying to make an example of him due to the media circus.

Maybe not just migrants, Trump was literally quoted as saying something like "even some people born here are not so great, that might be the next step." And other officials have already hinted at mechanisms for stripping citizenship from US born people that "pose a threat to the US".
remember the white guy that shot up a bunch of asian massage parlors, and they call it "he was having a bad day"
Starting to look like those 3rd world countries we've seen pictures of our whole lives.
Welcome to the future conservatives want.
This is why you don't do dipshit things like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting as a form of protest when so much is on the line.
The bigger issue is that somewhere near half the US is OK with this. Sure, maybe some people could have done more to prevent it. But, there were also untapped voters on the other side who fully supported this kind of thing, but were too lazy to vote.
The US is in a crisis not because of who is in charge, but because roughly half the population supports this kind of thing. It could be that some of them are actually not horrible people, it's just that they've been misled by Fox News, right-wing echo chambers, and other sources of information that have blinded them to the truth. But, a lot of them are gleeful participants in this new world, and will fully support it until they're the ones being sent to the camps.

The Nazis used wood. Other than that, I don't see much difference here.
Wait, "alamy" claims ownership of the picture?! As in monetizing the fucking Holocaust!?

And gave them windows. Trump doesn't even give his victims that much
$45 billion more given to ICE with the bill passed in the senate today. Your taxes going towards (more) ethnic cleansing. They want to strip citizenship from anyone who doesn’t kiss their ass and throw them in these cages. Next step after that will be “lending” the imprisoned for labor.
Any American who doesn’t have “abolish and defund ICE” at the top of their priority list is aiding and abetting fascists.
Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.
There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.

God. The wet-bulb temperatures in August alone are going to murder everyone they send to that concentration camp.
Eventually, concentration camps always turn into death camps.
I think the alligators are just a distraction from the fact that they are setting these people up to die in a hurricane or violent storm event. If not just the heat like you said

We have a better A name to describe it than Alcatraz.
I haven't heard anyone say Alligator Auschwitz yet, but at the rate we're going it might be appropriate.
Edit: Ah I'm too late, I saw it further down

The people doing this are evil. What can I do, I’m trapped in NYC by a job I can’t leave, and I have a family, so I’m not going to be a guerilla… but I give it 3 months before idiots on the right start posting their Florida gas chambers
At some point people are going to start having to risk their comfortable lives to resist
Being trapped by a job does not sound like a life of comfort. Leaving my job would mean being flat broke in two weeks and then starving. If you work paycheck to paycheck, you literally cannot afford to risk your lifestyle to resist.

The Simpsons should live in one of these now to reflect the changing times.
Concentration camps
Evil. I fucking hate how I'm living through a major historical event like this
Soon the showers get installed. And we all know how that goes.
Without early warning systems, they’ll be hit by an ‘unexpected’ hurricane soon enough. The rising floodwaters will penetrate the cells more easily this way.

If you wanna see how “great” a society is just look at how they treat their prisoners and the animals they eat.
