Inhumanity of the present US administration

Delaney Hall, a privately run, 1,000-bed detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, is operating under conditions so brutal that nearly 300 detainees just launched a hunger and labour strike, having signed letters describing frozen and inedible food, foul, undrinkable water, frigid cells, and guards who reportedly retaliate against anyone who complains. One man, Jean Wilson Brutus, died in custody less than 24 hours after arriving. This is the same detention centre where Andy Kim got pepper-sprayed!

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s response to the hunger strike was to sneer that detainees were “refusing to eat because they want their ethnic food. Well, they can go back to their country and get whatever food they want. This isn’t Holiday Inn.” Meanwhile, a detainee’s family described dinner arriving at 11 pm as a naked hot dog and a tiny cup of water.

And it isn’t just Delaney Hall. At least 51 people have died in ICE custody since January 2025, with 10 of those deaths classified as suicides; the most for any fiscal year in the agency’s history. Of course, ICE and DHS keep calling them suicides, but after so many lies, why should we take their word on anything?

All of this is being driven by Stephen Miller, who has set ICE on a target of 3,000 arrests per day, publicly calling that number “a floor, not a ceiling,” and reportedly dressing down ICE officials so aggressively that agents left the meeting afraid for their jobs. The net being cast is sweeping up people with no criminal records, people showing up to routine check-ins, and people who simply happened to be nearby when someone on a list got picked up.

New detention centres are being built, planned, and repurposed across the country to absorb the volume. Delaney Hall is just the most visible in a system that has been rapidly and quietly expanding while the rest of the media looks the other way.

Yeah, guess what. Those detention centers aren’t for “illegal migrants”.

But I guess keep focusing on the bad food and stuff. Whatever the media has you emotional about. Ignore the infrastructure that is being built in front of our eyes and which, once ready, can and will be activated against anyone who resists the militarized martial law “new America” that is coming. And that will come either under a Dem or a Rep, it doesn’t matter. Both parties are evil to the core, both are part of one system and do what they are told.

As Carlin said, “it’s a big club and we ain’t in it.” But let’s keep being politicized and focused on stuff the media feeds us because, um somehow, that will save us?

“Trump bad” yeah guess what, we already know that. No shit.

Here’s a clue: they are all bad.

So maybe stop playing partisan sides and stop listening to corporate media already. Try to figure out the actual truth, and then you might be able to do something about it, if only in your own life or whatever. Not that any of us can really do much, we are ants in their antfarm and the tech is almost ready to the point of engulfing the entire world in their vast slave system of control and death. Not that you care, oh no, you are focused on… media stories about hot dogs.

Inhumanity of the present US administration

The bias is being a bit too obvious for my taste.
Tis not about the inhumanity of the system itself, or all us administrations, of moral issues which should be questioned in general. No. Its the “current administration” that bothers you.

When the next democrat turn comes and the victims will be others, then that wont be a problem sounds like.

Not being an American, I am not informed of the “niceties” of American society.

11

Perhaps you should take into account that some of us are not American and live in civilised societies and can’t imagine concentration camps today.

12

“Libtard” is a derogatory insult for a liberal or progressive person, especially in political arguments. It is widely considered offensive because it combines a political label with a slur built from a disability-related term.

In America, a liberal is someone who supports individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and political equality, and who generally favours using government to expand rights and opportunities while opposing authoritarianism. That is generally what I support, though I suspect it is different in Europe than in the US.

In Europe, “Liberal” often refers to classical liberalism: emphasis on free markets, limited government, privatisation, deregulation, and individual economic freedom.

However, in both Europe and the U.S., “progressive” generally means someone who promotes active reform to reduce inequality, fight discrimination, and address systemic problems. So we have various meanings of “liberal” but agreement on “progressive”.

I have no disability, so I fail to see how you think the term applies to me. Probably, you don’t think at all but are just on ILP to hit out at people to compensate for your pitifulness in real life. Your real complaint is probably, “Why don’t people see me?”

I feel sorry for you.

It’s interesting how these liberals are more concerned about the plight of foreigners than suffering domestic citizens. These liberals never pay attention to domestic citizens with the same organized ferocity.

“Yesterday, WIRED published an investigation based on more than 1,000 pages of unpublished documents from the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and fusion centers across the country, obtained through public records requests. Fusion centers, the sprawling intelligence-sharing hubs where federal, state, and local law enforcement quietly pool information and circulate it between agencies, were at the center of the investigation. And what those documents reveal is chilling. Our own government has now invented an entirely new category of domestic threat that could be used to investigate, monitor, and potentially criminalize ordinary Americans for their political beliefs and online speech. They are calling it “anti-tech violent extremism.” It is a phrase that appears nowhere in publicly available DHS or FBI extremism frameworks or threat assessment guides. They created it themselves. And now they are already using it to monitor Americans.”

Treason is the heart of Liberalism.

One cannot be “Liberal”, and also Loyal to one’s own country.

They openly hate their own country, and wish to destroy it. They will GLADLY and enthusiastically use, and abuse, hostile foreigners and immigrants to facilitate their greater purposes. The thing about self-haters and nihilists (ie. Liberals), is that they want to take everybody else down with them, on their sinking ships.

What a load of shit! Just because someone wants to improve something doesn’t mean they want to destroy it. Your stupid president thinks he is “improving” things all the time, despite making life harder for those in the lower wage bracket.

I really am starting to believe that the only derangement syndrome in America is among those espousing the views that you have regurgitated here.

Some things cannot be “improved” though. Thus they should be Conserved, Preserved.

You should be Conservative, not Liberal.
