This is STEPHEN MILLER'S wet dream. This monster is filled with so much hate for anyone whose skin isn't white. He is a complete aberration and loathsome as a human being.
Yes, please arrest Miller--on any excuse; or no excuse, the same way he demands that ICE should act--and bundle him off to that Class A concentration camp, Alligator Auschwitz.
Of course Miller isn't truly alive--he's a vampyre--so the giant 'skeeters won't want to chew on him, and he won't need a shower...but the 24/7 intense lighting might bother him. It will, however, prevent him from escaping as a bat. He'd adore the maggoty food, right--oh wait, maybe he doesn't need to eat? But he will be totally disgusted by having to live with brown people. Perhaps they'll be disgusted by him, too. We can hope. I hope his family has disowned him.
You'd think a hungry, young DA somewhere could nail him with something outside of the scope of federal pardons. There's no way a guy like this hasn't committed crimes.
I guess it's time for my semi-regular link on Stephen Miller, the one guy who manages to survive all the Trump regimes (because he's the one guy who best represents who Trump really is).
He is the concentrated racism and cruelty of the worst of MAGA. In his privileged position in the White House, he is the principal driving force behind the depredations of ICE and the detention centers.
Another thing to look at -- Trump puts on fake tanning stuff, making his skin orange instead of brown. Many racists try to get a tan wishing they had one as beautiful as my husband who is a proud Alaskan Tlingit man, or as beautiful as Marten Luther Kings skin. So if you hate people of color so much, why try so hard to look like them? just food for thought :)
I was 11 years old when my family moved from Ontario to Calgary in the 1960s. I had a deep tan, from lying in the sun slathered with Crisco or baby oil. (Yes, we did that in those days.)
On one of my first days in Calgary I was walking along the street to check out what would be my new school come fall. A car drove by with several youths, one or two of whom were yelling "Injun! Injun!" I had no clue what they were saying, never having heard that slur in my short lifetime (both parents first-generation Canadians). That was my first experience with 'Calgary hospitality', a popular myth at the time.
a WAR CRIMINAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR nominates a WAR CRIMINAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR...I'M SURE THE COMMITTEE WILL GET A HUGE LAUGH OUT OF THAT.
Sorry to break your heart, Candace, but I would not be shocked or awed to find the Nobel Committee giving little Donald exactly what he wants--just like everyone else is doing. I know, it makes me sick too.
This will be an ineradicable stain on the history of this nation. Every single person involved in setting this up and staffing this should be reminded what happened at Nuremberg to Germans who did EXACTLY this. They believe they will never face consequences. We must make absolutely certain that they do.
The one thing I don't want to hear from Democratic politicians is, "This is not who we are."
Trump didn't appear out of nowhere. He's the culmination of a deep, underlying problem in this country.
We are a nation that built an empire on the backs of slaves and expanded through ethnic "cleansing" (a terrible word, by the way, for describing what happened).
The WW2 internment camps, the McCarthy commie hunt, Tulsa, the pillaging of South and Central America for its produce, the invasion and destruction of Iraq, the forever wars for Middle East oil, the ravaging of Mexico to satisfy our drug lust... I could go on and so can the rest of you (which is why I like this little community so much).
Maybe Americans need to look themselves in the eyes for once and say, "Hmmm. Maybe this really **is** who we are."
There's nothing wrong with following that up by saying, "But it's not who we want to be."
Almost all nations have their own terrible histories. Let's look at ours honestly, like Jay just did here, and figure out how to build the kind of nation that was intended when France delivered the Statue of Liberty.
It's only 'not who we are' if you look at white history in this country. It's absolutely 'who we are' for people of color or other nationalities. And it's disgusting - but you are correct in saying, "It's not who we want to be".
It is horrifying to me that many Americans are showing that this is exactly who many of us want to be. Why else would they be gleefully cheering the trump regime?
I agree with you Mr. Bastille. A good deal of this country's problems are from the refusal to face our own history honestly. Reconstruction after the Civil War, had it been conducted under Lincoln, might have made us better. Who knows? But I do know until we let kids learn the REAL HISTORY of this country with out the 'evangies' and the Southern deniers (and all the other people who would prefer that kids never have to face reality) clutching their pearls lest their little darlings learn something repugnant about white America and it hurts their precious fragile fee-fees (if the teaching is done correctly, kids will learn without self-disgust--they are innocent of this history, after all)
It is the parents who cannot face their own racism or embarrassment and the guilt therefrom that is some of what is preventing this cleansing breath of fresh air and honest history. Germany and Japan did it--so can we.
Jay--I am not the only physician or health care professional subscribed. All of us are reading this with an eye to the real danger, which has not yet had time to surface--not alligators but various diseases which such conditions are prone to nurture. Particularly mosquito borne diseases, and given the location, this could include malaria. In addition, attention should be directed to the likelihood of cholera outbreaks. Some time ago sections of the Gulf Coast were rates as being at "third world" levels of public health risk for infectious diseases of this sort.
The Trumpistas will attempt to suppress any information about such outbreaks, but it will not be hard to pick up on: Transfers to hospitals, deaths. Unless the local hospitals collaborate to conceal this information. But good journalists should be able to penetrate the cover up.
On a directly related note, you have never mentioned whether there was a measured death rate due to illness in the WW2 concentration camps here in America. It would be a good baseline for discussion.
I have read that the number of deaths in the Japanese camps were around 1800. ( I can imagine it’s an undercount) but it seems Tuberculosis was a major contributor to many of these deaths.
Thank you. I was thinking the exact same thing. Mosquito borne diseases & muggy surroundings without adequate facilities cleaning, sanitation & food preservation. Recipe for major health disaster. And in this weather it won’t take long. Completely appalling.
Two days ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians, the American Public Health Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the Massachusetts Public Health Association, and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine SUED RFK, Jr. for his policy on COVID vaccines. Now, I hope they all turn their attention to Alcatraz -- joined by many, many other Medical associations.
I have truly done my share of calling many politicians offices. With every new atrocity that is initiated by the Trump administration, being a WWII buff I understand more and more exactly what happened in Germany. Is there no end to this? One important point, without sites like Status Kuo we would not even KNOW half this stuff is going on.
And thank you, Jay, for Skeets and Giggles---it is a life raft.
What is happening at this concentration camp is abhorrent, reprehensible and unconscionable. These stories MUST get out--they MUST break through to the wider US audience. We MUST put an end to this camp--before the regime is able to launch multiple camps like it across the country.
I keep sharing these stories and more on my FB and through emails, whereever I can. Ii'm preparing some pithy posters for the 17th. Rain or shine I will be out there-- proudly, without a mask.
I have contacted both my senators and my congressman in California and urge them to gather a contingent of Congress people, all Democrats, of course, and to go to the Everglades and demand oversight. I’ve also told them that if that is denied to hold a press conference outside of this horrible place and to again tell the American people what is going on. I’ve friends who have lost entire families in the holocaust and I cannot believe at age 80 that I am bearing witness to a concentration camp in the United States! If people are not horrified, then they don’t have a soul.
The first owners of my house had both been in Auschwitz. When I bought it, there were dead-bolt locks on all the INSIDE doors! My realtor said, "they thought it could happen again". Yep! Sage people they were.
It's one thing that these are illegal abductions. It is another that fear and dehumanization are used in their diabolical enforcement.
Immigrants locked up in Los Angles detention are drinking from the toilets, no meals - just cookies or crackers - no change of clothes, no showers. Yadira Almadaz came out crying after finally seeing a relative -"It breaks my heart seeing a young man cry because he's hungry and thirsty." It's breaking all of our hearts.
Abducting immigrants is like fishing in a barrel to ICE - armed with lies designed to justify cruelty and dehumanization. The hyper-criminalization of immigrants is beyond hypocritical, coming from a president with 34 counts of felonies.
I’m in Florida and have been calling 📲my legislators (all MAGA) every week. I also wrote to my local Gannett paper/Op Editor.He doesn’t have a problem with Alligator Alcatraz if there are no environmental concerns!HELLO !! They did absolutely no environmental analysis!
DeSantis is rewarding major campaign donors,including one scandal-plagued,with multi-million dollar,no-bid contracts for building and maintaining the facility.📣
It's sickening to hear the glee they express over treating humans this way. They don't see brown people as humans, plain and simple. It's just like Germany. We HAVE to stop this.
This is STEPHEN MILLER'S wet dream. This monster is filled with so much hate for anyone whose skin isn't white. He is a complete aberration and loathsome as a human being.
I want HIM to end up there. Miller first. And then Trump and his entire rotten posse - the cabinet, the Republican lawmakers, EVERYONE.
Yes, please arrest Miller--on any excuse; or no excuse, the same way he demands that ICE should act--and bundle him off to that Class A concentration camp, Alligator Auschwitz.
Of course Miller isn't truly alive--he's a vampyre--so the giant 'skeeters won't want to chew on him, and he won't need a shower...but the 24/7 intense lighting might bother him.

Actually, an uncle has disowned him. The uncle went public with their own immigration story which was the chain immigration.
You'd think a hungry, young DA somewhere could nail him with something outside of the scope of federal pardons. There's no way a guy like this hasn't committed crimes.

Have you noticed that the Orange Menace has not EVER criticized that serpent Miller?
Yep, I have.
Eeew. Thank you.
miller and emil bove are twins.
where's katie these days, becoming leon's new baby mama?
Well said, Charles.
Automatic upvote! :-)
Is he really an "aberration" in 2025 US? Doubtful.
I have come to the conclusion on Day 173 of the tRump regime that there are many evil people in the US. I am in utter despair.
Mr. Rogers lied to us
He is the concentrated racism and cruelty of the worst of MAGA. In his privileged position in the White House, he is the principal driving force behind the depredations of ICE and the detention centers.
If not aberration, then perhaps role model?
You're wrong. Sorry.

Lady, that's a really good point.

He and Russell Vought are the ones running the government. tRump is a figurehead.
Agree wholeheartedly!!!!
And it’s been proven beyond a very reasonable doubt!
i hardly think that this will look good to the Nobel Committee!
a WAR CRIMINAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR nominates a WAR CRIMINAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR...I'M SURE THE COMMITTEE WILL GET A HUGE LAUGH OUT OF THAT.
You forgot that yahoo is committing genocide and now so it the felon rapist.
I didn't forget and if I'm not mistaken GENOCIDE IS a war crime, so I covered that.
Sorry to break your heart, Candace, but I would not be shocked or awed to find the Nobel Committee giving little Donald exactly what he wants--just like everyone else is doing. I know, it makes me sick too.
Nominated by a man deserving of prosecution for war crimes
They have more ethics than the FOTUS' administration, you might be surprised.
What's in it for them (the Nobel Committee)? All tRump followers are in it to get something for themselves, or to keep personal info under wraps.
This will be an ineradicable stain on the history of this nation. Every single person involved in setting this up and staffing this should be reminded what happened at Nuremberg to Germans who did EXACTLY this. They believe they will never face consequences. We must make absolutely certain that they do.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Same here. Every stinken day Im firing off emails and placing phone calls, but the GOP does not give one iota of a hoot.
When is Trump going to.be declared incompetent?
He has been by half the country. We just need the other half to join us.
What is happening at this concentration camp is abhorrent, reprehensible and unconscionable. These stories MUST get out--they MUST break through to the wider US audience. We MUST put an end to this camp--before the regime is able to launch multiple camps like it across the country.
You’re 100% right. How do we reach those with the megaphones though?!
That is the question, Joan...I wish I had an answer. I'm hopeful that people like Jay may be formulating one.
I keep sharing these stories and more on my FB and through emails, whereever I can. Ii'm preparing some pithy posters for the 17th. Rain or shine I will be out there-- proudly, without a mask.
Speak up. Speak out. Resistance is NOT futile.
I have contacted both my senators and my congressman in California and urge them to gather a contingent of Congress people, all Democrats, of course, and to go to the Everglades and demand oversight.

I’ll do the same. What is needed is media exposure. Anyone know newspaper editors who might publish this?
You’re right.
I'm sure they opened your letters and personally read them.
It's one thing that these are illegal abductions. It is another that fear and dehumanization are used in their diabolical enforcement.
Immigrants locked up in Los Angles detention are drinking from the toilets, no meals - just cookies or crackers - no change of clothes, no showers. Yadira Almadaz came out crying after finally seeing a relative -"It breaks my heart seeing a young man cry because he's hungry and thirsty." It's breaking all of our hearts.
And then the right wing gets all hissy when people being grabbed put up a fight. The are not "resisting arrest," they are fighting for their lives.
Abducting immigrants is like fishing in a barrel to ICE - armed with lies designed to justify cruelty and dehumanization. The hyper-criminalization of immigrants is beyond hypocritical, coming from a president with 34 counts of felonies.
Boo hoo. Stop believing gossip.
