One toilet? Fucking hell. I can't even piss in a public washroom if there are other people present.

Holy shit theres like a 3 year old in there.

I'm so sorry and you're right nobody deserves that.

I didn't mean to imply that anyone was being detained for commiting a crime. Just pointing out that the same groups that were making insane amounts of money via private prisons (which also often detained innocent people thanks to a broken justice system) are now making even more insane amounts of money by using their privately owned prisons as detention centers.

They believe that profiting from unnecessary suffering is just being smart business men.

Private Prison Contractors Spend Millions on Lobbying, Get Billions in Immigration Detention Contracts

It's a bleak and miserable time because some selfish people have intentionally made it that way, but I hope you know that plenty of people definitely care outside of Lemmy. The people who profit from this shit will never understand the strength of humanity because control and corruption through money is the only source of strength they've ever known. It's why they fear equality and democracy. Fuck fascism, fuck oppression, and fuck the oligarchs who enable it!

Democrats have none of the levers of power, they can do nothing. I still think a good few who greenlit more ICE funding need to be replaced but by and large even if every democrat had the backbone of Harriet Tubman, they could do nothing. Republicans have majority everywhere.

I don't bother listening to any pedophile's recommendations for child care, and EVERY MAGA is a pedophile.

In their minds these are not children they are "illegal aliens".

This problem is deeper than both parties, we also allowed children to be in concentration camps in Palestine.. for decades. The US has been changing for the worse since Kennedy died.. we need a revolution, against the slavers. not against our constitution.

It's for their own children, not anyone else's.

Trying to create the Mexican joker.

fat white conservatives are afraid of anything not as equally offensive as themselves and commit their limited energy to squashing perceived threats

Authorities love to escalate everything.

If you are foreign-born with a "foreign sounding" name and you defend yourself against a bully in a US school, the school admin will literally call the police on you.

Cuz I was that kid who defended himself. And I got in trouble for fucking self defence.

Because Donald Trump is a sociopath.

We can just call them concentration camps now. No need to mince words.

Because they were kidnapped by men who were already profiting from private prisons, but felt their entrepreneurial capabilities were really being hindered by due process

The whole operation is a money making scheme. They get about $100 per day from the government to detain a person. They are sweeping up as many as they can which clogs up the courts which means they can detain people even longer and make even more money.

Torture, forced labor and death by neglect are all already widespread, just look at Seacott.

The bigger question is, what are you doing about it? There are nazi concentration camps on US soil and federal agents are executing white US citizens in the streets.

Are you going to lie down and take that? Are you just gonna post online about it? Or are you going to join the fight against them, find a local activist group or protest, and arm yourself in preparation for the coming revolution?

What do you have to say about Democrats voting to fund ICE further, and them voting on Trump's nominees? They're doing a pretty piss poor job of circling the wagons for resistance. More like "Hello mister Trump, yes use my tongue as a carpet mister Trump. May I have a treat, if not that's fine?"
