"What we're witnessing isn't about security or solving problems," they said in a joint statement, "It's about inhumane political theater that endangers real people."
Yep. It's a theater of cruelty that would have delighted the Marquis de Sade.
All the alarms have been going off for months now. But every organization that were supposed to do something about it were disbanded, defunded or rendered powerless.
Latinos overwhelmingly voted for this 70%.
Sorry, not sorry.
Yeah, at this point I have zero sympathy for anyone who voted for them. You find yourself without health insurance, a home, being deported, having your workers deported? Welcome to the find out phase of FAaFO.
None of these people voted at all. They literally couldn't vote against this.
But sending men there is “okay.”
Said who, besides you?
No, sending men there is not OK; but yes, sending pregnant people and children there is indeed even worse than sending men and women in good health there.
Glad to have cleared that up for you! As soon as you've worked on your reading comprehension, I recommend looking up the term "straw-man argument".
I think you're the one who needs to work on your reading comprehension. The ~~air~~ quotes around "okay" clearly indicate that they think it is NOT okay.
"air quotes"? Those are actual quotation marks
Whoops! 😂
That's a good faith interpretation, but I've never seen a comment like this that isn't whining "but what about men".
The comment is saying: "oh, so we are pointing out that sending people to places like these is bad when it's happening to women, but not when it's happening to men", which is whataboutism, derailment, and a misreading of the article.
I'm sure that Ron DeSantis will take the opinions of the half a dozen or so Democrat lawmakers out of 43 in Florida's state government that could be bothered to show up very seriously, and it will be a top priority of the DeSantis and Trump administrations to address those concerns along with the other numerous legal and Constitutional issues surrounding the compound.
Exactly. This is all gobbledygook feelgoodery grandstanding without any actual change. Again. From the democrats.
To be fair to them, they're in the superminority right now so all they'd be able to do is feelgood grandstanding.
What pisses me off is that only 5-6 of them could actually have been bothered to try. All 43 of them should have been showing up there in unison and demanding entry. At least show a united front, for the love of God. But they can't even be bothered to do the bare minimum grandstanding, let alone actual action.
I think Trump is liking the middle east a bit too much, starting to sound like a Pharao
