@rl_dane @nlarson830 #Zuck's #NSAbook are top donors to #Trump, so they'd get away with anything.
After all, the #ForProfitPrisons & #PrisonIndustry in the #USA are well-known to sell labour to corporations cheaper than any callcenter in #India!
Today in Labor History May 17, 1900: Following the siege of Mafeking, during the Second Boer War, over 27,000 Boer women and children died in the world's first concentration camps. The Spanish had actually created similar death camps in Cuba during the Ten Year’s War (1868-1878). However, the death camps in South Africa were the first to be called concentration camps. Additionally, the Boer War concentration camp system was the first time an entire nation had been targeted. During the war, Mahatma Gandhi and 800 Indian slaves started the Ambulance Corps to serve the British.
Today in Labor History, May 16: Romani Resistance Day, commemorating the Roma people who fought the fascists during World War II. The date was chosen due to a Holocaust survivor stating that on 16 May 1944, there was a rebellion of Roma detainees at the Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camp. However subsequent research by the Auschwitz Museum discovered that this date was most likely incorrect. It was actually in early April that a number of Roma prisoners refused orders from the SS to leave to work in Germany. Instead, a Polish prisoner was ordered to make a list of Roma able to work to be transported later. By 2 August 1944, those Roma able to work had been transported elsewhere, when the SS came to take the others to the gas chambers. The prisoners armed themselves with crowbars and fought back, but were eventually overcome and gassed. And in 2024, The European Committee for Social Rights (ECSR) unanimously concluded that Italy was violating the European Social Charter as regards the housing rights of the Roma, 15,000 of whom are currently living in shanty towns on the margins of big cities such as Rome, Milan and Naples.
Not worried because you aren't a criminal immigrant? Aren't trans? Aren't a student activist?
If so, maybe you should read the headlines. Scores of legal residents and citizens, as well as undocumented immigrants with no convictions for any crimes, have already been deported, many to gulags in El Salvador, Guantanamo and Africa.
And now, universities are joining the assault on due process and civil liberties. Columbia and Barnard expelled several students, kicked them out of campus housing, stripped away meal tickets that they'd already paid for, all because they happened to be in the library, studying, when protesters took over the library to protest the Genocide in Gaza.
NO ONE IS FREE UNTIL WE ALL ARE FREE!!!

“They didn’t…” - Max Blumenthal
That's the whole point in RFK Jr. using "farms" and "reparenting" and "healing" as euphemisms: To make it sound like it's meant to help us, so that people will get on board without realizing what they're actually supporting.
The labor isn't optional; it's forced. Contact with the outside world isn't allowed. It is a concentration camp, using doublespeak to mask it as something kind and helpful. It's all right there in his own words, with a spoonful of sugar to get us to swallow it. We are to be removed from society for our own benefit, *obviously*, because who could ever be so evil?

Ireland must pass the Occupied Territories Bill in its Parliament as a message to Israel that starving a captive population in a #concentrationcamp is #nazi action, is against normal human behaviour and displays psychotic hatred and genocidal murderous intent.

"Humanitarian area" is the new term for concentration camp 
Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip
Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan Sunday night to gradually reoccupy all of Gaza and hold it indefinitely if no deal is reached by May 15. Plans for the operation call for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to flatten any buildings that remain standing and displace virtually the entire population of 2 million people to a single "humanitarian area."

"At least 57 Palestinians starved to death under Israel’s blockade of Gaza"
<

Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said he had witnessed heartbreaking scenes of children rifling through rubbish, “looking for whatever is left of canned food products”. The enclave, he added, had reached a “critical” point with international organisations out of supplies and community kitchens unable to prepare meals for displaced people.

The cruelty is the point. Specifically, the point is dehumanization and torture - they are trying to turn starving Palestinians into "beasts" so that it's easier to rationalize mass killing ("culling") under speciesist logic.

Today in Labor History May 2, 1945: The Nisei 522nd Field Artillery Battalion halted a death march from Dachau to Austria. As a result, the Japanese-American fighting unit saved hundreds of lives. Yet, even while they fought fascists in Europe, many had families in concentration camps within the U.S.
Today in Labor History May 2, 1933: In one of his first acts after coming to power, Adolf Hitler abolished all labor unions. Storm troopers occupied union offices across Germany. Union leaders were arrested, beaten, tortured and imprisoned, or sent to concentration camps. In the coming months, thousands more communists, anarchists and labor activists were arrested and murdered. Strikes were banned and workers’ pay plummeted, as prices soared with inflation, while the unemployed were conscripted into the military.
@wdlindsy they are *#ForcedDisappearances".
Same for people being shoved into #CECOT (a literal #ConcentrationCamp, cuz a #jail would imply wrongdoing and a #prison that they've been sentenced for a crime!)…
Reminds me of the forced separation and adoption of shelter-seeking refugees from their children.
A secret note hidden in a Dachau-built violin is discovered after 80 years.
A message written from within Nazi concentration camp Dachau remained undiscovered for more than 80 years inside a violin.
It tells a tale of survival, craftsmanship, and reveals the only known musical instrument built inside the camp.
"'I know the weight of these words. I don’t write them lightly. I write them because I’m tired of euphemisms. Tired of pretending this is a conflict when it is clearly a massacre.’ -- Ahmed Najar
It’s hard to explain the feeling of watching your homeland shrink into a cage. To know your family is still inside—crammed into a suffocating corner of what was already one of the most overcrowded places on Earth.
To hear your mother’s voice tremble as she says they have nowhere left to go. Not north. Not south. Not east. Not even to the sea because the sea now brings only the hum of warships and the echo of explosions. This is Gaza now: a territory reduced to a trap.
In recent months, nearly two million Palestinians have been pushed into a fragment of land that itself was already a fragment. Gaza is just 365 square kilometres. That means over 2.3 million people are being squeezed into just over 120 square kilometres. That’s a population density of nearly 20,000 people per square kilometre—more than ten times that of London, more than any major city on Earth.
Schools have become dormitories, floors shared by strangers, and bread has become a memory. There are no tents left. No clean water. No food. And no silence.
When I call my family in Gaza—those who survived the latest Israeli airstrikes—I hear chaos: babies crying, the crackle of distant explosions, the clinking of empty pots.
My niece tells me she now shares a floor with eleven others in a school never meant for living. My cousin, a father of four, texted me last week: 'We queue two hours for a stale piece of bread. We drink water from puddles. Israel starves us, then bombs us again.'
There’s no exaggeration in this. No need for metaphor. This is what we mean when we say 'concentration camp.'
Yes, I am using those words because what else do you call it to herd a population into an ever-tightening space, to deprive them of food, water, and medicine, to bomb them without exit or reprieve. This is not merely war. What else can we call it when a state designs a system not just of control, but of deliberate, systematic containment and extermination?
Historically, people hesitate to use that term out of respect for the horrors of the Holocaust. But if we are to honour history, we must learn from it."

This is an invitation to your state to join in the boycott of shameless nation El Salvador. An invitation to your nation as well. Canada for example should boycott El Salvador, Europe should boycott, renounce and denounce El Salvador.
