There is a CONCENTRATION CAMP on U.S. soil. I can't think of much else.
This is from Lucian K. Truscott IV's substack. He talks at length about Dachau then:
Governor Ron DeSantis has built his own concentration camp, which he calls "Alligator Alcatraz," on the land of an airport in the Everglades. Nearly 900 undocumented migrants are kept there in cages inside huge tents, 30 or more to a cage. There are only three toilets and sinks for dozens and dozens of inmates. Reports from the camp say they are being fed spoiled fruit, moldy bread, ham or cheese sandwiches and little else. Swarms of mosquitoes are everywhere. Inmates are covered in festering bites.
... Nobody knows what the temperature is inside the tents, because no one is allowed inside the concentration camp to inspect conditions. A few Florida lawmakers from both parties, including state representatives and members of the Florida congressional delegation, were allowed into the camp last Saturday for two hours. They were not permitted to bring phones or cameras inside. Journalists were not permitted to accompany them. Citizens from the local area, including members of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida who live nearby on land in the Everglades, are not permitted entrance to the camp.
Guards are being hired by Critical Response Strategies, a company that has been contracted to run the camp. The pay is $29 per hour, with $39 per hour for overtime. ... One guard who worked at the concentration camp and quit told the Washington Post that she had been put to work at the camp the same day she was hired ... If people are being hired and put to work as guards on the same day, it does not appear that they are given training or much of a background check.
There is much more, & it is shocking & intolerable. Unconscionable. But as a small antidote to this horror, my rabbi sent an email this afternoon, with the above photo & this message: Our neighbors at Madina Masjid [the mosque around the corner,] are in the midst of a construction project and ... since June, we have been hosting them on Fridays. We have been in relationship with the Imams and lay leaders of the Madina Masjid for decades. They participate in our annual, community-wide Spiritual Sounds concert and we have been there to support one another in difficult times as well.
Shabbat Shalom.
