What's your plan for physically dismantling or blocking the construction of concentration camps?
This doesn't necessarily call for public answers, but fot serious thinking.
You know there are going to be mass preventable deaths in these camps even before they're explicitly death camps. You know there will be mass rapes, including of children, in these camps. You know he's driving the economy into the ground intentionally so that, eventually, keeping people alive in these camps is going to be an "unjustifiable expense".
(she/her) @dalias I believe they will be made slave labor (in additions to the other atrocities you mention).
@susankayequinn That's a real possibility given the breakdown of rule of law, but it is unconstitutional. These people will not have been convicted of crimes. They're theoretically awaiting trial for immigration violations which are not crimes (and most importantly, were not crimes at time committed, see: ex post facto) and thereby the slavery exception doesn't apply to them.
@dalias @susankayequinn I wouldn't count on "it is unconstitutional" to be a valid defense once Cheeto Mussolini takes power. The whole goal of Project 2025 is to replace all the interpreters of the Constitution with people who will only interpret it the way that the fascists want.
@SynAck @susankayequinn See the opening phrase of the post you replied too.
Still it's important for us to be citing clear constitutional law that can slow them down as it makes its way through appeals processes where lots of judges will still be correctly interpreting it.
@dalias I'm 100% in favor of using every means possible (especially defense of the rule of law) to slow down the atrocities. And I think they will have all kinds of logistical problems (as well as social rejection and maybe even malicious compliance) that will slow them as well. But I think that's absolutely where they'd like to take it. And will if not stopped. They are already (baselessly) calling 10M undocumented people "violent criminals". They will invent the reasons.
