Not just for the homeless, people in North Carolina are literally STILL FINDING BODIES, living in tents and cars, and can't swim in any river or lake due to run off pollution
This just shows the government is fine killing us via exposure to the elements
Your food too. The more I learn about American food production the happier I am that I have never set foot in the states. Way before all this crazy shit started happening, I already had many issues with the idea of visiting the country and one of the main ones was that I really didn't want to eat any of the food or drinking any of the water over there. They are literally poisoning you guys your whole lives.
Glyphosate, DDT, lead, mercury are huge issues in the US. Imo mercury is the biggest issue with what is happening in NC because that's all old gold mining territory and back in the 1800s they used mercury extensively to extract gold (severely poisoning the water supply and imo to this day it impacts us). But there's ofc lead in buckshot, and all the houses and cars that washed away had tons of different materials, oil, gas, MDF, etc etc
Corporations wont let us (via lobbying) have Medicare for All - because that would detect cancer (and toxins) and allow us to class action sue companies for them. Can’t sue if it was never detected. Thats why they find carcinogens and lead in kids’ products so much - their products dont have more lead in them, but kids all can be on Medicaid and that catches it. Flint, MI, water poisoning was detected by a kid on Medicaid.
They don’t want us to all have healthcare because that is public science and it will absolutely detect what theyve been lying and poisoning us with. It would probably destroy all the big companies like Nestle, Johnson&Johnson, Colgate, etc…
Haven’t seen it pointed out, yet, but it should be noted that a chain link fence and some tents are structures that have been completely toppled by far less than 3000 people many, MANY times. These are very fragile things they are building.
On an unrelated note, bolt cutters are not expensive and neither are ground bloomers, tape, and plyers.
It's the surrounding Everglades that becomes the problem. But idk, I don't think I'd give a fuck vs staying there and dying from West Nile, flooding, heat stroke, hurricane, atrocities, etc... and with 3000 people, you have a much better chance
Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes.
I want every Democratic politician to be repeating this every chance they get, a modern day "Carthage must be destroyed." My greatest fear is that when this is done, and Democrats are eventually back in power, that they will fall back on the same suicidal tendencies that got us here in the first place. Obama came into power on the back of the criminal Bush administration, and his first act of office was to declare "it's time to move on," and to announce that no members of the prior regime would be prosecuted. And Biden did the same after the first Trump term. We need to be willing to hold people accountable. And we need to be talking about this now. We need to fully embrace the idea of prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes against humanity. We cannot declare it's time to move on and to let them get away with what they have done.
And no, "I'm just following orders" is not an excuse. Anyone who says that deserves to hang.
This needs to be (if it isn't already) a copypasta that finds its way onto every post and comment board concerning ICE and the current administration's barbarous acts towards people who's only crime was not being a white person who was born here.
I suppose I should add to this, "and do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned."
I don’t suppose anyone thought of humane conditions while building a concentration camp in a Florida swamp. Even prisoners deserve something to control the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes, or were causing yet more needless deaths
And yes, employees overseeing obviously inhumane conditions should absolutely face justice for those illnesses and deaths
Honestly, if you build or work at a place like this, you deserve to die. If you're a guard at a concentration camp, I hope you die quickly. You don't deserve to live.
It's not that difficult to build a concentration camp with shitty cots, inadequate facilities, and hazardousness as a feature built in on nearly unlivable land in the Everglades.
It likely is slightly more difficult to build housing for homeless people unless you're trying to build death trap, concentration camp housing for them as well.
I'm so glad the yellow underline exists in this 60-word screenshot to tell me where I should pay attention. I don't think my poor, dystrophied zoomer brain could sit down for the average 15 seconds it would take otherwise.
This might be where they ship homeless people when they run out of immigrants
I haven't seen much mention of this but putting people in camps like this in south Florida is a very bad idea. WW1 veterans were housed in hastily constructed camps like this in 1935 in the Florida keys and many were killed by a powerful hurricane that rolled though. There is a reason for the strong building codes and tents do not meet them.
Provide unlivable caging, you mean. Homeless people don't deserve to be "housed" in something like this any more than undocumented immigrants do. The reason homeless housing takes money and time is that it's supposed to be humane, and put people where they can interact with the resources of the community. Alligators aren't NIMBYs, and the administration ignored environmentalist organizations that protested on their behalf.
if the U.S was to ethically and legally house the homeless it would cost much more because criminals, the homeless, as well as some other outgroups are the only groups whose dehumanization is legal, meaning that to ethically house (and therefore humanize) them would be much more expensive as humans require more than just cages to live.
i agree with the tweet though, im just saying that the homeless can and should be provided with adequate housing and that we can and should imagine and work towards better then cages for our future.
