So the alligators will have bite sized snacks in addition to full size meals.... sorry, my dark humor. It's the only way I cope with these atrocities.
Ok so. How has no one taken a drone out to this facility and gotten a recording of the entire exterior of it?
Because based on what I've seen, a couple of guys with bolt cutters could do some serious damage to it.
Hell, have we learned nothing from Ukraine? Get some cheap ass FPV drones to land with strips of thermite?
Like I'm 1.5k miles from where it is, so that's a bit of a problem for me. But how is there no one in Florida capable of this kind of thinking?
It's like everyone completely has no idea what "sabotage" is, and that you don't need to hurt people to defeat a regime.
I do wonder whether it would be possible to use drones with explosives to blow these things up, ideally before people get there.
"What we're witnessing isn't about security or solving problems," they said in a joint statement, "It's about inhumane political theater that endangers real people."
Yep. It's a theater of cruelty that would have delighted the Marquis de Sade.
Latinos overwhelmingly voted for this 70%.
Sorry, not sorry.
No they didn't. You just posted a made up a number and did it in the service of dehumanizing a minority population. And the people getting deported (at least now) didn't vote for anyone, they aren't citizens.
This comment is sus as hell. Exactly something a right winger would post to cause mistrust in opposition groups. And even if it isn't, you need to learn some media literacy if you're just parroting an obviously fake percentage like that.
Nobody deserves this. These people were suckered by a conman who has decades of experience conning people. That doesn't warrant a death sentence or even imprisonment.
If a successful coalition is to be formed, it has to be made up of former Trump voters. We won't have the numbers otherwise.
This is true, but at the same time those voting for him need to be smarter than a rock come voting season. It’s hard to have empathy for those crying about how Trump has wrecked their lives after they so shamelessly/stupidly supported him.
"Empathy" is what the right completely lacks, and it's what Democrats have begun abandoning because it's not in vogue. However, empathy is the one thing that helps us unite across boundaries that the right tries to convince us are unsurpassable. Empathy is what makes us strong.
I get that being angry is easier than being productive, but we really need to be productive right now, and writing off large groups of people because of their perceived failings is not helping.
Most of the people being sent to these camps are going to be undocumented, so they couldn't have voted in the election if they tried.
the stats exist, you can check them instead of making shit up; the Latine vote was pretty close, but they still voted more for harris globally, tho i believe Latino men in particular voted ever so slightly more for trump
the only racial group who overwhelmingly voted trump, across men and women, and this is gonna SHOCK you!!, are whites.
whites voted for this; when are we rounding them up in concentration camps? when are we deporting them to europe?
Fuck off with this racist revanchism.
These are people who are ripe for radicalization against the regime, and we need everyone we can get.
Yeah, at this point I have zero sympathy for anyone who voted for them. You find yourself without health insurance, a home, being deported, having your workers deported? Welcome to the find out phase of FAaFO.
None of these people voted at all. They literally couldn't vote against this.
All the alarms have been going off for months now. But every organization that were supposed to do something about it were disbanded, defunded or rendered powerless.
alternative organizations need to be established quickly. States need to take it on themselves to independent of the federal government.
I'm sure that Ron DeSantis will take the opinions of the half a dozen or so Democrat lawmakers out of 43 in Florida's state government that could be bothered to show up very seriously, and it will be a top priority of the DeSantis and Trump administrations to address those concerns along with the other numerous legal and Constitutional issues surrounding the compound.
Exactly. This is all gobbledygook feelgoodery grandstanding without any actual change. Again. From the democrats.
To be fair to them, they're in the superminority right now so all they'd be able to do is feelgood grandstanding.
What pisses me off is that only 5-6 of them could actually have been bothered to try. All 43 of them should have been showing up there in unison and demanding entry. At least show a united front, for the love of God. But they can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum grandstanding, let alone actual action.
