    "Guards allegedly refused to deliver food to sick people and would pay some detainees with a bag of chips for a day’s work. If the person refused, they would be sent to solitary, according to the report. "

    WTF!!!

    These will become impossible to deny as concentration camps. The regime must be prosecuted like Nuremberg. Let’s not forget that.

      Lets also not forget that Nuremberg was woefully inadequate and failed to push Nazi collaborators out of power.

      “The Nuremberg trials could try only a small sampling of major Nazi war criminals. German restitution negotiations were bound to have an unhappy ending, since no payments could possibly erase the harm or painful memories. No problems related to the Holocaust could be resolved quickly or adequately. Nor could they be swept under the carpet and be expected to disappear.” ~Benjamin B. Ferencz, Chief Prosecutor of the US Army for the Einsatzgruppen Trial"

      I genuinely worry that trump will just drop dead before he faces justice for all the heinous shit hes done. He’ll die without facing any accountability for anything.

      The fact that he’s not rotting in prison for the rest of his life after 1/6 is such a fucking miscarriage of justice

        Hitler killed himself to avoid prosecution, that didn’t stop the prosecution of other people who participated or followed his orders.

          Sure, and I know that will happen, but I want the people at the top to face justice too.

          Any justice is better than none, but I want the architects behind bars.

          And to clarify, I don’t even think it will get to the point where Trump offs himself, I just think he is a very sick old man who is showing concerning medical signs.

      well as i understand it, concentration camps are defined as places you concentrate “undesirables” to get them out of society while you figure out what to do with them long term.

      like, definitionally, we’re undeniably already there. the first nazi camps were supposed to be deportation camps too.

      problem is no country will actually let you dump people on them like that. the only truly viable long term answer for this kind of plan is to kill them in the end. however, that’s distasteful, so they usual end up staying there until they all starve because at least then no one had to give the order to kill.

      I can only imagine how satisfying it was for the world to watch the Nuremberg trials unfold and Nazis get hung or shot.

      I really hope we get ours.

        I wonder how the “good” Germans who didn’t support Hitler but also just showed up every couple of months for a few hours to protest the concentration camps when and where the Nazis said they could felt after the trials. Totally vindicated in their inaction in the face of pure evil I’m sure.

      They’re already impossible to deny as concentration camps, and we’re only a few months away from (Spoilers for 2026 ahead, stop reading here) being undeniably death camps.

    If I found a genie lamp, can anyone tell me a single reason why I shouldn’t wish every single ICE officer (including Noem) a sudden, drawn out, publically documented, and tortuously agonizing death?

    And by “drawn out”, I mean long enough to the point where people are watching them stumble around screaming in the streets while pointing and eating popcorn.

    Oh and somehow ambulance and hospitals somehow won’t be available to them.

    All too typical: slave labor! Not much has really changed in the land of the free (white men).

    Edit: It seems that many US citizens are unaware of this, but this is nothing new in the States: the majority of prisons in the US are run as private enterprises (and yes, they do put people to work for almost nothing and not just since Trump), which for obvious reasons is not the case in any other democratic country - at least not to this extent and with this level of absurdity. It goes without saying that the insanely inflated ICE budget, which under Trump exceeds that of all other agencies, such as the FBI and CIA, many times over, essentially benefits MAGA collaborators such as the Geo Group, one of the largest private prison corporations. But hey, that’s just an added bonus that the orange pedo is giving his co-conspirators at the expense of US citizens, because the real goal is obviously to build a secret police force that is loyal only to him - and, as I said, it has a budget that dwarfs all other agencies, even combined.
