My grandmother fought in the Dutch resistance, helped people who were Jewish escape, and was put in a camp. She died a few years ago. This is how that happened, too. And we're all watching. Even with americas vaunted 2nd amendment, Russian-backed fascists just walked in and took over, and everyone is just watching them. No riots, no fighting back, just passive resistance.
I wish all of you the best of luck. I'm going to go hug my kids.
Your grandmother sounds like a fucking hero
She really was. The war changed her forever, though. On her death bed she disavowed her lifelong Roman Catholicism, saying "No God would allow what I have seen and lived."
Before that she was an absolute badass and had many dalliances with a man of the clergy, causing his expulsion from the order.
It's coming and Americans are refusing to see the oncoming headlights.

Doesn't seem like misreporting. I found other sources reporting it too.
I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who've probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it'd be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.
Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:
America has a concentration camp now. I won't send you anything more...it's kind of rude that I'm sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/
What will it take, Americans? What will it take? What will it take.
To this day we still question how could the Germans watch Hitler and the Nazis come to power. Well we're learning how, in real time.

As an added note, they deported multiple children to Colombia the other day. Half the people they've arrested in specific areas have zero criminal records. Some are even US citizens. This is not for immigrants, this a Latino concentration camp.
I know two people first hand who have been here for over 30 years with no criminal records who are being detained. These are the people being sent to Guantanamo.
Some are even US citizens.
Some are indigenous.

Can they even hold that many?
No, they can't. Guantanamo is a very harsh environment with very small capacity
Edit: well, I guess if the plan is to starve them and put them in unliveable conditions where disease is rampant and they begin to die in droves..yes it would make sense then.

Not in any safe manner. Safe for the assholes running the show that is.

Mark my words- queer people will be next.
~~Homosexuality~~ Queerdom is a ~~Jewish~~ immigrant plot against ~~Germany~~ the US.
It's practically fascist mad libs.
The path to that easier than you might think. Just get the propaganda mill talking about Thai ladyboys and black-market hormones a bit. They love little talking points that are are rooted in preconceptions and tiny slivers of half-truths that they can contort to fit their agenda...to expand on and then justify their actions.
They are fun to pick out. The other day Trump claimed that the ominous "they" were sending water directly to the ocean to save an endangered fish instead of to LA to fight fires.
That endangered fish is called a Delta Smelt. "Delta", as in a river delta, as found at the end of a river....you know, that thing that carries said water to the ocean.

Call your senators

Call your representative in the house

It's "illegal" migrants now. But it will be us eventually! Do not let it get to that point. They did not win this election by a landslide, and they can only do as much damage as we let them!

I don't know anything but isn't Guantanamo Bay, like, kinda small?
That’s only an issue if you assume they’ll be treated with any humanity
Don't worry, they'll find a way to pack people in. Maybe some kind of high energy weight loss system like their role models used in the 1940s?
This is bad juju. The detention camps from the first cycle with this fascists was nothing on what we're seeing ramping up here.

The way I understand it we have these places in the US call prisons and they are used to house criminals. I guess the only problem with that is in order to put people in them they have to be guilty of a crime.
