"Americans aren't helpless before the administration and its allies. Members of the Seminole Tribe of Florida are already opposing and protesting the Everglades concentration camp as a threat to sacred lands. Five Democratic state lawmakers tried to visit the camp Thursday, but were turned away.[image or embed]

Donald's Dachau.
Dachau was set up as a camp in 1933 for political prisoners who often got sent there with no due process. And judges who ruled that Hitler couldn't do that got ostracized and fired and some of them even ended up in Dachau. It was at least 18 months before that camp expanded to simply being Jewish or Romano, etc.

But the widespread exterminations didn't really start until 1941. So Dachau isn't just similar to Alligator Alcatraz, it's a mirror image.

Zip yer lip... or it's Gators', and if you're lucky, a few taters.

Hitler started the archipelago of concentration camps with Dachau, on German soil.

The Everglades Camp is just the beginning. ICE has a hugely augmented budget.

The SCOTUS has said official acts aren't prosecutable if the president acts in "good faith", whatever that means.

In my opinion it means Oppression is coming, PREVENTIVE Detentions are
Coming for Americans if they Resist or Protest.

Rule of Law is DEAD in this country and the Courts won't save us.

Nobody Will.

We have met the enemy and it is us.

Pretty sure no one is coming to save us from us.

We have only ourselves to blame and we will have to save ourselves.

Just as we did the last time someone wanted to be our King.

Neither will another country. Other countries had to invade Germany costing them millions of lives and $$$.

Who's going to save us from ourselves?

Nobody is. Our collective arrogance did us in and I'll bet you other countries are rejoicing our downfall. We finally did to us what other countries have wanted to do for decades. We don't deserve the intervention.

Tin soldiers and Trumpy's coming.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'

Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down

Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Boomers really knew how to protest and dissent. We had the best protest songs ever.

They said that about Dachau too.

The Parallels are Amazing.

It's "almost" Spooky.

The sign over the entrance should read.

"Deportation will set you free."

This country has plenty of form when it comes to concentration camps. There were times Native Americans were confined to concentration camps, e.g. the Navajos at the Bosque Redondo. And you could certainly argue that the boarding school experience for many kids from reservations amounted to time spent in a concentration camp. Then there's the WW2 treatment of Japanese and Americans of Japanese descent. Yup, we have form. And this administration is loaded with goons who really get off hurting others. So here we go.
