An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.
What’s going to be done to stop this madness?
This is called a “purge”. This is the modern equivalent to what Stalin did in the 1930’s.

The only difference is the size and scope.

Meanwhile:
spoiler for those who still don't get it
The US only has ~50 million immigrants to begin with. DHS is openly talking about getting rid of twice that number of people.
Captain Matteas Torres runs DHS?
This is incredibly fitting. I like how nobody is in the car. Not a single person is in the picture
And … after 100 million deportations, a giant tsunami will come to wash your classic car off the beach?
Interesting sales pitch, I suppose.
This article mostly seems to be talking about immigrants, but honestly I don’t think they give this kind of money and license to wild out to something like ICE just to find and detain illegal immigrants.
I think they should really emphasize that a lot more, because I think a whole lot of people are deluded into thinking, still, that this is only about illegal immigrants that have committed additional crimes.
This is going to be weaponized, if it hasn’t been already weaponized, against far more than criminal illegal immigrants.
They’re putting far too much money into all of this to stop with immigrants. If anyone thinks they’re going to deport the immigrants and go “well that’s it boys, good job, close 'er up and you’re all unemployed now, thanks for your hard work” they’re deluded, but then again it feels like a lot of people have happily been deluded for years anyway.
Yeah, I think part of the reason to have them being sent into various cities/states over the objections of local leadership is to send a very clear message that Donvict’s Crime Family will send his well-funded and well-armed storm troopers/secret police against anyone that hurts his feelings.
I would not be surprised if they have plans to rig upcoming elections using his thugs, too. They are gerrymandering the fuck out of states already, but if they kill mail-in voting and early voting and then send in ICE in just the right places to slow down voting as a back-up plan, that could make sure they keep the House.
And of course, if enough people get very pissed about this and start doing shut downs and massive rallies, they are going to need all those billions to start getting really violent at a much larger scale. Minneapolis was not great, but it might look like a field day compared to what assholes like Miller and Bannon dream about doing all across the nation.
I don’t think there’s a lot of doubt anymore that they interfered with the last few elections in some way, the only real argument is whether it actually mattered. But they’re testing the bounds of what they can get away with and building their own army of hired thugs and I definitely believe they plan to use it to interfere with voting, opposing politicians, and anyone else they don’t like or who stands in their way. If this isn’t put to a hard stop very soon Minneapolis is going to be written about in history books as the very beginning of a period of violence and evil, instead of the middle of it.
Election is already rigged, the machines can be updated with space lasers.
Funny fact about a cage, they’re never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (Oops)
These are for Americans. They can fly non-Americans home. Cuba will take Cubans. This is for Trump’s coup, when he cancels the elections. He does not intend to be removed and this time he’s prepared.
Jeopardy: what is “a concentration camp”?
As they have done before, they intentionally let sick people spread measles and other diseases.
Okay, I’m appropriately horrified. Now what?
You either organize and help fight it, or you end up in it.
Candidly, I’ve been calling reps since 2003, organizing and volunteering since 2008, street protesting since 2016. There are horrified people with much longer histories. Yet here we are, still buried under republican representation, while the country is still oppressing, bombing, and building prisons.
I’m certainly not intending to cease action but it sure is frustrating. As if the message is not clear, or truly the pop is culturally incompatible with compassion. Feels like we need better options for horrified people.
Yeah, the magic thing I want to have is a financially viable approach to center-left local journalism, which can do a lot to build community. I don’t have a way to do that though.
Or the third option: you get the fuck out of the US while the getting is good … and then hope the US doesn’t end up invading whatever country you fled to.
(Edit: People be downvoting me… But imagine you’re a Jew living in Germany in, say, 1926. What’s your best option for surviving? Getting the fuck out of Germany while the getting is good … and then hope Germany doesn’t invade whatever country you fled to.)
