I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)
Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.
Now we know that was a lie.
Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.
America is back in the slave trade.

I once received an electric shock during torture only for writing for Radio Liberty: I was told that it was "a CIA structure and an enemy of Russia", and for that reason alone I was already guilty.
Now, the "enemy of Russia" is being destroyed by America itself, and my torture seems doubly in vain.

Naturally-derived & synthetic versions of a chemical are the same chemical.

TRACE levels in some vaccines, <50 micrograms (µg) per dose.
YOUR BODY makes 42,520,000 µg formaldehyde a day. (1.5 oz, 850,000-times more than a vaccine).
It’s the SAME formaldehyde.
