Rep Wasserman Schultz was shaken after touring #AlligatorAlcatraz.
“We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.”
After the delay, the MOC assumed the facility would be somewhat sanitized, but it was revolting:
She just visited & came away shivering: "It's 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, & defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don't come close to the stench.”

There are lots of photos from the Nazi years in Germany, photos showing smiling Germans standing under signs adorned with swastikas and reading, "Jews are our misfortune."
After the war, those who starred in these photos celebrating cruelty — rounding up targeted people, sending them to concentration camps and, ultimately, to be murdered — had to live with this photographic evidence.

Their children and grandchildren had to live with the photos demonstrating that their parents or grandparents were really despicable human beings who could laugh as hapless others were consigned to unspeakable cruelty.
Karma has an eerie way of visiting us, and even visiting our family members down the generations.

When we celebrate cruelty to others, we invite cruelty for ourselves and our families: we open the door to it.
And it will visit us with karmic certainty.

The next time a politician claims we can’t house the homeless, feed the starving or give medical care to the poor…. remember that they were able to build a concentration camp in 8 days.
We could provide for everyone if we wanted to, but instead we’re spending the money on fascist facilities and cutting taxes for the wealthy.

"Not Alligator Alcatraz. Alcatraz held people who had been convicted in a court of law.
This is Alligator Auschwitz, which will hold people who are not charged with anything other than the crime of being brown, just like Auschwitz held those for the crime of being a Jew."

The Republicans are proudly calling it “#AlligatorAlcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.
“‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is a #concentrationcamp,” Andrea Pitzer, author of One Long Night, a history of concentration camps, said on Tuesday.

Hailing the completion of a Florida detention center some refer to as “#AlligatorAlcatraz”, far-right activist #LauraLoomer recently posted “Alligator Lives Matter”. Black womanist scholar @allyfromnola responds, sharing history and context on #BlackLivesMatter and #WhiteNationalism:
Leider ist der Anlass eher erschreckend, aber "Diaper Diplomacy" ist mein neuer Lieblingskanal auf Youtube.
Fuer meinen Clip zu #AlligatorAlcatraz 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfG0a82iSlQ habe ich mal deutsche UT draufgepackt.
Ja, das sind immer die Original-Tonspuren/Statements 🙈
Welcome To Auschwitz!

"Prison officials repeatedly told Plaintiff Abrego Garcia that they would transfer him to the cells containing gang members who, they assured him, would 'tear' him apart. ...
During his first two weeks at CECOT, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia suffered a significant deterioration in his physical condition and lost approximately 31 pounds (dropping from approximately 215 pounds to 184 pounds)."

"Even though the United States of America is an empire in decline thanks to the self-destructive policies of the oligarchy, we can take comfort in knowing we’ll have the world’s first 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention facility.
Who needs public schools, affordable health, reliable infrastructure, and steady jobs when you can instead invest that money into private prisons?"

Eventually, they'll know that Trump, Johnson... just lied continually about the #Medicaid cuts...” They’ll watch as red states build more versions of FL’s #AlligatorAlcatraz with the $Bs in this bill for the IMM #detention system *most already disapprove of. They’ll see vets lose their food stamp benefits, %rates go⬆️bc of the $Ts the bill adds to the debt.
What kind of ppl want to close rural hospitals, vets..?
Voters will feel the #austerity, soon.

Alligator lives matter.
The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.](https://files.techhub.social/media_attachments/files/114/785/393/798/891/849/original/35bd4593ab149a4f.jpg)
