Oh just the opposite. A federal judge is currently the only obstacle preventing Trump from stripping Native Americans of their birthright citizenship.
In a short 500 years we went from “You live here, we’ll stay there.” to “We live here, you live there.” to “We live here, you don’t belong here at all.”
We’re fucking monsters.
It doesn’t even need to go that far. If that happens in an area that uses well water rather than municipal, the water table contamination will shutter any nearby businesses for longer than they can afford.
This may be outdated info. I learned it in a civil engineering course ~20 years ago.
Fascinating. They’re much older than that of the sources I’ve read. Thanks for the link!
My point about the difference between public vs private prisons being independent of prisons that participate in indentured servitude still stands. One does not imply the other.
Great point. The Gallup poll was performed shortly after Trump’s inauguration as well. Bias may have been the point.
As did Hitler. Lol
Fucking Dubya beat Biden? Who the fuck are they polling?
Slavery is independent of prison ownership. You’re referring to involuntary servitude versus the abolished chattel slavery. Privatization is an additional layer of systemic oppression.
Private prisons may or may not partake in indentured servitude. In addition to participating in the constitutionally protected slavery, they have far more systemic problems than public prisons. The goal is to spend as little as possible to meet minimum legal requirements in order to maximize profit (it’s a business, after all). Many of these for-profit prisons are infrequently or improperly evaluated, leading to far worse conditions than governmentally run prisons. There have also been countless cases of people being denied parole to maintain minimum headcount.
Modern private prisons first emerged in 1984 when the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), now known as CoreCivic, was awarded a contract to take over operation of a jail in Hamilton County, Tennessee. See comment below for link to the origins of private prisons.
It began in the 1980s, when Republicans went full-throttle into privatization.
It doesn’t even need to go that far. The next step after failure to comply with a court order would be dispatching the US Marshalls. They report to the DoJ, so I’d say that’s pretty unlikely.
Scholars and pundits are saying that act of inhibiting their own accountability will be the official end of the US government as it was designed, and the official beginning of an authoritarian regime.
Good. Make it impossible for Trump and Bibi to get what they want without committing war crimes. Well, more war crimes.
Looks like someone is sleeping on the couch.

Oof. I forgot how soul-crushing it can be perusing removed comments.
I’m glad my faith in humanity isn’t alive to see it. Lol
Yup. Trump already named immigrants the Jews of the Black Death.
He’s tight with some oligarchs too. He sold his Palm Beach estate to Dmitry Rybolovlev for a record $95 million, well above its value, and during the US housing market crash.
They just need to sever the ADL’s ties to Israel. It’s hard for me to believe it’s a NY organization when they parrot Netanyahu’s words and sound nothing like the voices of every Jewish New Yorker I’ve met.
I’m with you on that. Not a fan of ice diluting my beverage unless it’s water.
I even have an ice cube tray reserved for leftover coffee, so when I make iced coffee it doesn’t dilute.
