1. Private prisons and detention camps

are the new plantations.
Duh!

[ananda]

4. I've been saying this would happen for over a year.

Not only that, I think billionaires will create their own
safe havens for slave labor also. Maybe they already
have.

5. Yep

Rec

2. A Gulag

A system of forced labor camps.

Khrushchev ended them in the Soviet Union.

Trump is bringing them to the USA.

[pecosbob]

3. Of course they did.

This was the plan from the start. Con Agra needs a stable source of labor.

6. trumps American SS Gestapo

7. Child labor in family concentration camps, probably OK.

Nothing would surprise me at this point.

[ecstatic]

8. This is sick shit

So trump sends these ICE thugs out to terrorize the public and indiscriminately toss people into camps where they're unable to prove their legality / citizenship. In fact, he's fought in courts for the ability to imprison and/or deport people without them having any ability to defend themselves.

But on top of this, trump and his disgusting allies want to use the people who are racially profiled and unlawfully detained and imprisoned to build more camps for more people to be detained and imprisoned without due process.

This is sick, disgusting shit that none of us should want to be associated with. The thugs running the country don't seem to understand that our standing in the world is something that can change, and is changing, for the worst.
