MSNBC· 2025-07-06 16:52
land so beautiful and so secure. They have a lot of bodyguards and a lot of cops that are in the form of alligators. You don't have to pay them so much, but I wouldn't want to run through the Everglades for long.It will keep people where they're supposed to be. Well, that was President Donald Trump having a good little chuckle with Florida Governor and one-time presidential candidate Ronda Santis and DHS Secretary Christy Nome about the prospect of MAGA's latest cruelty against immigrants, a new state facil ...

American dystopia: The cruel spectacle of Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
MSNBC· 2025-07-05 20:25
Welcome to the new American dystopia where alligators are cops and humans are treated like animals. This might sound like an allegory dreamed up by George Orwell for my Veland book club, but it's not. This was a real tweet posted on the official White House Twitter page.AI alligators sporting ice hats and a man assumed to be Donald Trump standing behind them. Alligator Alcatraz, make America safe again. Deep in the swamplands of Florida, far from civilization, is a virtually abandoned 39 square mile airfiel ...
America’s caste system: Trump’s DOJ creates two tiers of citizenship
MSNBC· 2025-07-05 20:24
Creeping autocracy doesn't just roll onto Main Street with tanks. Though under President Donald Trump, one might argue we're closer to that sort of thing than we'd like to admit.

'This is kidnapping': Rep. Frost on ICE raids and 'Alligator Alcatraz'
MSNBC· 2025-07-04 17:33
The chaos people are seeing online when they see these mass agents pull up in an unmarked vehicle. Yeah. In broad daylight or in the middle of the night going to elementary schools, to churches, to work sites, to Home Depot, wherever, and just snatching people up and they forever disappear.They want the resources to take that and export it to every community in the country and take that chaos and put it everywhere. And I I don't like to mince my words about it because it's not even mass deportation. Deporta ...
