“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said, explaining he wants to see a deportation process “like (Amazon) Prime, but with human beings.”

        The Salvadorian prison uses forced labor.

        Trump is literally sending people into slavery and, in typical Trump fashion, he’s losing money on the deal by paying El Salvador for accepting them.

          Other countries paid the Nazis to take away undesirables (eg Jews). They didn’t consider that a loss, because they hated those people so much.

          Its the same here.

    “Let the badge and guns do the badge and gun stuff, everything else, let’s contract out,” he said.

    I’m so angry that I’ve had to delete my post twice because I’m sure some narc would report it and try to get me banned or even arrested.

    Shits BAD when you realize that the most ethically and morally forthright course of action is also personally deleterious.

    But recalling what Jefferson said,

    That tree of liberty is looking mighty thirsty.

        That’s not enough. It’s smarter to just leave certain things unsaid - the response to Luigi shows there’s no need anyways, it’s a pointless risk

          Cryptography works.

          Snowden said we shouldn’t self censor because we do have tools that are enough to protect ourselves, even from the most powerful adversaries

            Cryptography works… But Tor has known flaws that can basically only be exploited by the US

            But that’s not what I’m talking about. Cryptography isn’t enough - you also have to have good digital hygiene.

            Have you ever accessed the system without tor? Did you use an email associated with anything you use outside tor? Have you ever accessed your email outside tor? Has any part of this digital identity posted personal details or photos taken from any of your cameras?

            I don’t think you should self censor, but explicitly calling for violence on a government official is a stupid risk - it is the kind of thing that is actively monitored, and it really doesn’t need to be said

      Oh come on, can’t we use the Trump Train highspeed rail? Counting on it being so shoddily built it falls apart on the first trip.

    Somehow I feel this is going to involve a fat government contract with Tesla to use their fleet of unsold Cybertrucks rotting in Tesla dealerships.

    I present to you: the Slavertruck: autopilot automated human trafficking.

    I guess this is hypocrisy’s final form? Treating humans as inhumanly as possible by people with such disfigured morals that they themselves don’t deserve to be called human?
