Hey, Dean Tanaka, better known as Dean Cain, could work there! Maybe he can find the cell his father was intered in!
$1.2 billion for a tents. Who are the private contractors ripping off the US taxpayer? The Japanese-Americans are 100% correct.
Boethius over there screaming about wheels.
There are no parallels that can be drawn here.
Remarkable how the homeland security spoke person specifically calls out the center being used for the "worst of the worst" and mentions rapists and pedophiles, of which her boss is convicted of one and under investigation for the other. Doesn't bat an eye.
Imagine being insulated from reality to that degree, or just having the sense that those rules don't apply to some.
I wish I was back in the timeline where Nazis got their cheeks clapped
Thought this same thing when I was listening to a playlist that included this song from Woody Guthrie today. As a Georgia born deep south that is anti-fascist I am sad what has become of this whole country. Where are my anti-fascist hillbillies?
Edit: This guy is my modern hillbilly mocking the fascist.
Or my favorite from him:
Edit2: never read the comments until now but holy shit there are a lot of clueless people that don't get his lyrics are critical of Trump and America. Like actually amazing how many people think "join ICE" is literally pro ICE.
I guess it's "Love me, Love me, I'm a liberal" for the modern era.
With an m1 garand bullet?
Finally see someone else use this GIF. Kudos
Fun fact: A good amount of Americans during WW2 wanted to support Nazi Germany
The northern states, in contrast, supported the Allies.
Yet we're still racist as hell
And a lot of Nazi policies were based on US segregation and eugenics.
another fun fact, the nazi determined some of the american segregation policies were to extreme for them.
You might be there once this administration goes full holocaust
history rhymes, and similarly, this won't look good in future textbooks
Which is why they’re dismantling the educational system here too
They've been at it for several decades now. It's a large part of why Trump won.
I sure hope that future is less than hundred of years from now
This morning I was just talking with someone how literally nothing has changed from the japense "internment" camps and whats happening now. No clearer sign these are more illegal racist concentration camps
In other words, history repeats itself.
Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Rubbing it in, big time.
Hope someone is setting up bank accounts for future reparation payments...
they got 10% of intel, I'm sure it'll be fine
I'm sure this is tongue in cheek. But for those that don't understand; fascism is not to be confused with socialism because of "state ownership".
Socialism isn't when "the government owns stuff". Historically fascist have used the power of the state to ensure the corporate interests are met. That is what is being done currently.
This is not a "state ownership" that gives control to the working class. This is a use of your tax dollars to ensure the value of a private corporation increases. This is a common and historical part of fascist movements. It is a move that confuses those uneducated in class conflict.
If you are not looking at actions like this from a lense of class conflict you will be confused. It's important to understand who benefits from these types of things when "the government does stuff" and what class interest are being enforced.
If you grew up in a world that has only ever been neoliberalism (as most of us have) it can be confusing. You have not been given the tools to understand the class conflict. Because it is beneficial to the ruling class that you do not understand, or even become aware of these contractions in the first place.
If we ever get a real government again they need to seize all Trump assets and sell them as a starting point.
If we ever get a government again hopefully "assets" of the all of the capitalist class will be used to build a new democratic rule for the working class. There are a lot of debts to be paid to the people that built this country. Descendents of slaves and natives of this land especially deserve it. But the entire working class from the undocumented farm worker to the white hillbilly will benefit from a redistribution of this nations wealth to those that actually produce it.
