Yep, which makes it insanely fucking concerning that these are being built with industrial disposal equipment from the start.

The Japanese internment was known for similar abuses and conditions. I think history books, if they touch on this at all, paint it as if the Japanese just had to move into a certain area for a while. No. Many of them died and many more suffered. We have done this before.

Yeah, and a lot of people don’t realize that there were “only” like.. 6? death camps in Germany. The rest were concentration camps and they were rife with horrors. Maybe I’m just being pedantic I just think it’s important to use the most accurate terminology possible.

Communities in the most rural corners of the South have rejected these facilities. By banning the use of pre-existing warehouses, communities will continue to get a say.

Yeah and with the way they’re not providing medical care right now, one has to wonder what kind of medical waste they anticipate. Even a year ago I might have given it the benefit of the doubt (prob not tbh). But now? Seeing the people they hire and the suffering they cause? These are death camps.

I’m so sorry ❤️ I’m rooting for your senate race and will volunteer to phone bank for whoever wins the Dem primary. Blue Texas!!

Contact your state legislators and tell them to ban the use of any facility not originally designed for human habitation as a detention facility. That will block their back door warehouse purchases. They will then be required to obtain building permits and the community gets a say.

The spread of disease and despair are traits of concentration camps. They’re employing psychological and sometimes physical torture to coerce their prisoners into signing away their right to be in this country. These camps are bad enough as it is. The new camps will be far worse.

The current facilities don’t appear to be intended to kill them, but the new facilities they’re planning to build have large incinerators in them. Deaths occur in concentration camps. But death camps have the infrastructure built-in for mass killing. The new ones are death camps.

Maryland General Assembly header graphic. Maryland House Bill HB0630 (2026 Regular Session) is titled: "Correctional Services - Immigration Detention Facilities - Original Design and Construction." HB0630 would prohibit operating an immigration detention facility in a building that was not originally designed and constructed for detention use. In plain terms, it is aimed at blocking warehouse-to-detention conversions by requiring purpose-built detention design, instead of retrofitting industrial distribution buildings. Status: Referred to the House Judiciary Committee. Hearing scheduled Feb 18, 2026 at 1:00 PM. This bill has not been voted on yet. Committee stage is when public input can still change the outcome. Why this matters: across multiple states, large industrial properties have been acquired or transferred for detention expansion. HB0630 is a state-level lever. It does not control federal immigration authority, but it can restrict whether non-detention buildings may be operated as immigration detention facilities within Maryland. If enacted, it would force detention operators to use purpose-built facilities, rather than quietly converting logistics boxes. Action for Maryland residents: find your Delegate and Senator on the official Maryland General Assembly site (mgaleg.maryland.gov) and contact their offices before the hearing. Ask them to support HB0630 in committee and to vote yes if it reaches the floor. You can also call the General Assembly switchboards: 410-841-3000 or 301-858-3000 and ask to be connected to your Delegate or Senator. Suggested call script (30 seconds): "I am a Maryland resident. I support HB0630. Please vote yes in Judiciary and support passage. Maryland should not allow warehouse-style buildings to be used as immigration detention facilities." This feels like a practical way for Maryland to block backdoor conversion of industrial real estate into detention sites before the buildings are filled and the debate is already over.

Maryland HB630 would ban using non-purpose-built buildings (like warehouses) as immigration detention facilities. Hearing: Feb 18, 2026 (Judiciary). If you live in MD, call your Delegate/Senator and ask them to support HB630. Official: mgaleg.maryland.gov

Oh yeah for sure. Give me a true primary for the first time in my fucking life

Right and I’m saying (very poorly) is that while Newsom and Harris think that’s a winning strategy, Dems in Congress know it’s politically toxic to abandon the fight for trans rights. But people don’t know that they’re still on that fight because it’s not the best time to do a lot of press on it.

The children they are terrorizing all around this country are never going to vote for a Republican for the rest of their lives. They have killed their own party and they don’t even know it.

Dems in Congress haven’t dropped trans rights which is part of why bitches like Nancy Mace and MTG are pitching fits and leaving Congress. They just aren’t talking about it on CNN or whatever

Should I reply to you replying to me or to you quoting me? Doing both is strange. I have no opinion on how vocal you are. Elected Dems should be vocal enough that you know what they’re doing to protect your rights without having to track every anti-trans rider Nancy Mace sticks on to unrelated bills

Does the word very mean nothing

True that’s good. Absolutely fucking despicable that some institutions caved when he illegally withheld their funds over his illegal executive order. That’s a stain they’ll bear for the rest of time.

I said is right now a good time to be VERY public about it. Someone else showed me this press conference that was held for trans activists and progressive media showing a proposed trans bill of rights. I think that’s a good way to communicate support without making it a central talking point.

These all sound like wonderful things for your state. But I don’t see how she proposes to fund universal healthcare if she’s against wealth taxes. She has an aggressively pro-corporation record as governor that is very concerning.

She’s way better than Collins though, I’ll give her that

What I think is that the Dem party as a whole has not and must not abandon the fight for trans rights. They just need to handle messaging on the topic way differently instead of allowing republican propagandists to direct the conversation.

Progressive on what? She refused to ban police cooperation with ICE, the NRA loves her, and Chuck Schumer recruited her to run so guess what her stance on Israel is? That’s right, keep giving them money.

She’s against wealth taxes. She is not a progressive.

Yep. The other two options for Maine are Janet Mills and Susan Collins who are already like that though, so if I were a Mainer I would take the chance. But I’m not a Mainer, so whoever wins the Dem primary I’ll canvas for them when I visit my parents up there this summer. We need the senate so bad

Honestly my worst case read of Platner is that he’s very malleable and just adopts the views of whoever he’s around. Lefty friends in high school? He’s a lefty. Joins the marines? He’s a nazi sympathizer. Joins DC think tanks? Imperialism is good actually. Back to Maine around lefties? Lefty again.

You too! I like to yap I’m just not always great at doing it clearly. Def put my foot in my mouth here, thanks for talking with me ❤️

It’s also weird to jump straight to the Senate. There’s a reason people typically go to county or state level politics first and work their way up to Congress and a lot of Senators are house reps first. The Senate is like. Big leagues. But times are urgent and I guess we’ll see what Maine decides

Time to play “deliberate misinformation or genuine moron?” My favorite Republican game.

No.

I personally believe in Platner’s reform mainly because of him being open about receiving therapy. His espoused views right now are pretty in line with his parents’ long held views and I kinda see him as someone who went through a really dark time and has come home. But maybe I’m just naive idk.
