if u are fuming at mass deportation of migrants to El Salvador's CECOT prison, u should also be fuming that people are being deported at all. Plus, much of the $ for the securitization & border externalization & carceral regimes in Central America has LONG come from US-backed neoliberal war on drugs

This situation isn’t just outrageous. It’s enraging. It’s normal to feel rage about human beings being treated like this. It’s normal to look at this wealth of injustice and horrid bullshit and feel rage.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

anyone who is acting like the US and el salvadore simply accidently deported the wrong people and can’t find them is lying because they don’t want to admit they rather like that fascistic deporting of political enemies into death camps is essentially legal now

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Rodney Taylor is a beloved Georgia barber who came to the United States from Liberia with his mother when he was only two years old. He applied for citizenship but was denied. But this year, ICE arrested him, locked him up, and has scheduled him to be deported to a faraway country he's never known.

I have to say I think it's appropriate for people to come across our border unofficially. Many are climate refugees or refugees from the consequences of US policies in their countries. Plus making our borders more oppressive is not the same thing as making them stronger, whatever that means.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Zero due process. This is the first 60 seconds of a propaganda video the president shared of accused “Venezuelan gang members” being taken to El Salvador. Hard to watch, but we should all see what is being done in our name.

The party that is supposed to provide opposition to authoritarianism is made up of people who got in power by making nice with authoritarians and billionaires. It’s a party of managers and if you’ve ever seen managers in your workplace react when an authoritarian boss sweeps in you get it.
