If I go to the US as a tourist and get a job there, they can send me home. That is a deportation.
If I go to the US and they put me in a brutal jail in El Salvador without a trial or even alleged crime, that is… something very different.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills every time I hear people describe disappearing people to a Salvadorean gulag as a simple “deportation”.
It’s ten times worse to simplify it down to being just some generic immigration-related story.

No, actually, we shouldn't just let the government violently attack people on the streets and disappear them into foreign gulags. We should try to stop them.

For the longest time I felt like I was screaming into the void that this is all fascism. Happy to not feel that way anymore… major bummer why… 🙃
when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
