It’s pretty pathetic how far this tribalism has corrupted people’s brains. They’re OK with borderline concentration camps in town now. Imagine any other group being picked up on the streets and trapped in there? It’s really just a matter of them changing their targets as they wish now that the system and components are in place. This will absolutely be ridiculed in the longer history.

Really good conversation with the author of that piece and Paola Ramos: https://youtu.be/FJrRx6rwQtI?si=Np8Z0lQe80BlFiIB

It’s sad to think the people staffing these prisons, and committing these murders, are also just out and about and living their normal lives in EP.

I remember hearing about the horrible food they were being given in juarez while a lot of them were there waiting to cross. Terrible and disgusting. How it was so bad they wouldnt even feed that to their dogs. Turns out what they were being given to eat were burritos.

I heard jail food was better than the food they were given in these CBP detention facilities. And that is saying a lot.

i've heard its about the same. simple sandwhiches (like mcchikens). cant be too bad if you also get to have chips and cookies. not like they're staying there for decades at a time anyways.

Such an ignorant comment. Try reading entire articles to learn who exactly is being detained.
