Concentration Camp Labor Cannot Become Normal

I wrote this essay about the private sector's exploitation of American concentration camps in July 2025. The situation has since advanced much further.

John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads (from The Wildlife Concert) YouTube video by JohnDenverVEVO

Alright… years ago I was driving a borrowed station van through the mountains after a remote broadcast. Signal fading in and out, road empty ‘cept for one porch light way up a hill. This song came through the static and suddenly that whole stretch of highway felt like it belonged to somebody.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

It’s patriotic to oppose POTUS because he is lawless & evil. Make sure your Republican acquaintances understand the difference. If you love America, you vote for a Democrat so that Congress can bring this cruel regime to an end.

Bills up in Legislature could make Floridians target of secret surveillance and potential arrest Floridians could find themselves the target of secretive government surveillance and potential arrest under legislation quietly moving through the 2026 legislative session.

Governments that hunt violence protect people.
Governments that hunt beliefs betrays them.

The moment loyalty is measured by opinion, every citizen becomes a suspect.

Security is necessary but freedom dies the moment suspicion replaces evidence. Don't stop fighting back!

"I'M AN ELECTION JUDGE FOR 10 YEARS. NON-CITIZENS CANNOT VOTE ALREADY AND OUR SYSTEM CATCHES THE FEW WHO TRY. NO NON-CITIZEN WOULD EVER RISK THEIR ENTIRE FUTURE IN THE UNITED STATES TO CAST A BALLOT! IT IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY 5 YEARS IN JAIL.
IT ALSO MAKES THE PERSON DEPORTABLE, WITH NO WAIVER AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM IN THE REAL WORLD. THE REAL PROBLEM REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO "SOLVE" IS THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS (ESP.
WOMEN) DON'T LIKE THEIR POLICIES AND WILL VOTE AGAINST THEM."

Opinion | Americans aren’t facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath — Guardian US The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy

Americans aren’t living in a democratic collapse. We are living in its aftermath. The sooner we recognize that, the sooner we can begin to rebuild. apple.news/AcJz5W4tjTd6...

Time I took the wheel for a bit.

Some nights the room gets quiet. Real quiet. Not awkward quiet… honest quiet. And you feel peeps stop pretending everything’s stitched up.

Mm.

That’s why this one’s on the table. No theatrics. Just truth standing with the lights on.

Please be in no doubt. Trump and his coterie are actively hoping for a retaliatory terrorist attack inside the US.

The U.S. war with Iran (Operation Epic Fury) is estimated to cost approximately $891.4 million to over $1 billion per day. For that, we could all have universal healthcare and education.

Nothing says “LOVE FOR OUR TROOPS” like seeing scumbag GOP freshman Senator Tim Sheehy breaking the arm of a US Marine in full uniform as he was exercising his right to protest against the illegal war with Iran.

This isn’t patriotism, it’s fascism and brutality on full display.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

I maintain the firm belief that everything we've been suffering through since 2015 is directly tied to President Obama making fun of trump at a White House Correspondence Dinner. That was the catalyst for all of this pain and suffering.

Alright… stay with me.

Mid-’60s. A pop group at the very top puts “God” in a single title. Radio men’s knees shake. Sponsors raise eyebrows. And the band’s mastermind? He don’t even sing lead.

He hands it to his kid brother.

Risky move for a pop record… yet that’s the take that lasts forever.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.
