Since the Everglades Concentration and Transit Camp will be funded by FEMA

It's literally one of the FEMA camps that conservatives were always fretting about during the Obama administration. They're making a for real FEMA camp.

Anyway, just a note.

Hope the MAGAs in tornado alley and hurricane zones have oodles of money socked away cuz come the storms, they won't get help from the agency originally designed to help them in emergencies. That fund is being robbed to fulfill Stephen Miller's wet dreams of mass incarcerations and cruelty.

It's wild!

The whole notion of FEMA Camps was, of course, a GOP paranoid fantasy. The fact that they've managed to make it real is truly beyond belief.

And it won't just be immigrants...it will be you and me. Supreme Court says prisoners can no longer sue the government. How long before a misdemeanor offense lands you on a prison work farm picking tomatoes?

Moldy food and sparse fresh water from Trump's no-bid contractors.
