Saw a great Facebook meme about Alligator Alcatraz . . .

[markpkessinger]

It reads:

If they can pivot from "All Lives Matter" to
"Feed them to the Alligators" in 5 years, let's maybe
stop pretending all lives ever really mattered at all.

[Dave Bowman]

1. Only their own lives matter.

[MaineBlueBear]

2. Sure all lives matter but not all like lives are at risk

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. All lives matter, until they are born.

After that, good luck

[Skittles]

19. make no mistake

repukes do not give a damn about pregnant women either

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

22. To be fair, they also don't give a damn about women who are not pregnant.

[Blue Full Moon]

4. Alligator Auschwitz

[MacKasey]

9. That's the correct name.

All Democrats should use that name .

[RazorbackExpat]

21. You could also call it Donald's Dachau

or DeSatan's Dungeon

[Moostache]

10. Beat me to it...

Its not cute or funny to use the GOP's Orange Menace's verbiage. Call it what it is... a fucking concentration camp in the making. NO ONE CAN SAY LATER - "I DIDN'T KNOW".... This is your last wake-up call folks! Trump is a fiend and his enablers should all swing next to him when justice is served.

[BidenRocks]

17. In the making?

The first is made.
Now they are expanding like a fast food franchise.

[vapor2]

18. Crimes against humanity

[MiHale]

15. Or...Everglades Concentration Camp.

Either is less marketable

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. I have thought about names like Auschwitz and Dachau, but ...

... to me, those names are forever linked to a tragic horror and should not be diminished by overuse.

Maybe a comparison to the Confederate prison at Andersonville, GA.

[Moostache]

24. I disagree...with no disrespect to the millions of victims of the Nazis ever meant or implied.

The horror of those camps did not start at their naming, but their names remind us all of the depths of human depravity when we do not remain hyper-vigilant to prevent recurrences. I am re-reading Elie Wiesel's Night Trilogy currently and the impact is not made less by the passage of time, but the horror is anew when read in light of what is actually happening in 2025 in these United States...

My thinking is that using the names of Dachau and Auschwitz and talking about the Shoah, its evil architects and its lasting impact on humanity is a way of honoring those lost, and putting teeth into "never again". We MUST feel uncomfortable to stoke action from the reticent, and we MUST conquer that discomfort to ensure the past is NOT prologue again...

We must remind ourselves that unimpeded or ignored on the current trajectory and path leads to absolute horror.
I cannot abide that.

[allegorical oracle]

5. It shouldn't be called a "detention" camp. Detention is generally temporary. This horror is

a CONCENTRATION camp. It's comprised of people who are of one singular characteristic -- being born a person that Trump, Miller, Noem, and Homan don't like. Those four people now hold the lives of thousands in their hands. They should be held accountable.

[Moostache]

11. Amen. From your keyboard to the almighty's "plan"...

I hope that justice is served and falls on them all with full force and vengeance.

[MiHale]

16. I refer to it as Everglades Concentration Camp

[rmac3075]

6. alligators

I am from Houston; alligators don't eat people you can wade past them they just move out of the way.

[sop]

12. 'How many people have been killed by alligators in Florida? The number may surprise you'

"Since 1948, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has recorded over 450 alligator bites on people in the state, with 30 of them being fatal...The FWC has attacks listed through 2022, though there were two attacks last year in Florida — one in Largo and another in Fort Pierce...Two of the strangest attacks involved cases from 2007 and 2019. In both cases, the victim was killed by an alligator while trying to evade police in local waterways."

[oldguy_tls]

7. Let's face it....

...there is an invisible word in that phrase. It's always meant 'All (white) Lives Matter'. And you heard that from a 68-year-old white man, too!

[damifino10]

8. All lives don't seem to matter

And they never have. Hypocrites in the grandest form.

[sop]

13. Only certain lives matter in America.

[pansypoo53219]

14. only fetuses.

[LisaL]

20. Yep, until they are born.

Then they don't matter anymore.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

25. Yep
