Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What is that?
That's the question! These are satellite images from the notorious El Salvadorian prison from 2024. The image is viral online with people claiming this is a pile of bodies and blood, but that's unsubstantiated (and the image is from before Trump took office). Another idea is that it's a pile of construction materials and clay.

Doesn't look like anything to me.
Many stated it’s dead bodies-if you use Google Maps satellite. If you use Apple Maps-it’s very clean. But it seems like Google Maps is more updated than Apple…
Well one thing we can know: if during the next round of satellite imaging from apple/google maps in 2025 sometime, if a building or tent appears over the place, then it was definitely bodies.
El Salvador gets internet too, they have definitely seen the controversy and would move it or cover it up in the future against satellite imagery.
If nothing at all happens and the next round of imaging shows the exact same dimensions and no clearer imagery emerges from a world regime with higher zoom spy satellites, then it is likely nothing.
