This is nuts. I don't even know what to say to that. Conditions in those death camps was basically the same as the Middle Passage and it happened less than 109 years ago. Starvation, disease, no room to sit up or turn around, no heat or air, made to sit in one's own filth. Empathy>Olympics

This is literally the same shit the Nazis did before industrializing murder. They would get soldiers to just shoot people into pits. They sent Jews en masse via train to camps to starve and die. It was disgusting in the 40s and it's disgusting now.

Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. Itās also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.
