People - Americans - many of them innocent, are being kidnapped off the street and sent, without due process, to a black hole in El Salvador that the government claimed in court it is impossible to retrieve them from.
The scope of these kidnappings expands every day. They will come for you or your loved ones. We know this from every piece of history.
The father from Maryland “erroneously” sent to El Salvador is a nameable rallying point.
It is easily the most horrific and tangible aspect of the administration right now. And, these protests of ours notoriously lack a focused message or flash point.
And, personally, I feel like any more time spent at rallies where the speakers gloss over this and instead use the opportunity to speak to thousands of gathered centrists and liberals to politely recite poetry and ask “Are there any 90s kids in the audience? 🤪,” before we all break for brunch, is, well - I’m not sure how much more I can take. And I know I’m not alone.
We need to take this seriously. We need to use these events to wake each other up and agitate, not pat each other on the back.
And I firmly believe the best possible opportunity to do this is to focus on the horrific actions of ICE.

You want to talk about concentration camps? We’re already expanding our own Black Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That’s nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It’s in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by…well, you get it.
I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I’ll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.
