One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention

Disgusting and inhuman

I swear I'm losing what's left of my humanity.

Hang on to it with all you've got. It's what separates us from monsters like ICE.

I would argue that losing your patience with MAGA Traitors/. Racists/ Pedophiles is your Humanity asserting itself. Embrace the message your Humanity is sending you, collect your outrage, and release it when the time is right.

You aren't losing your Humanity, you're feeling it.

I'm afraid if I hate them like they hate me I'll become like them. Dehumanizing is wrong even against maga. But every story drives me further into blind fury.

In addition to the usual Nazi dehumanising, I suspect that being highly intelligent is something that the ICE staff fear or at least will try to show their "win" over.

Just a bunch of full concentration camps.

Nobody seems to give a fuck. We're living in a modern day Zone of Interest.

Edit: In a completely unrelated note, I became a selective hoarder about a year and a half ago. I stopped getting rid of my empty liquor bottles and stopped throwing/giving away old cotton tshirts.

Maybe some people here would join me in "donating" these items to these concentration camps?
