Most of the Venezuelans sent to El Salvador don't have a criminal record
trump knew
Hiii, I’m currently on a bus to New York City to host my monthly news show in Brooklyn tomorrow, June 7th. If you live in NYC, come see me. In the meantime I’m sharing my feelings about the Trump administration knowing most of the people they trafficked to El Salvador didn’t have criminal records. Onto the news…
News that made me scream ABOLISH ALL PRISONS
Remember those traumatizing photos and videos of the Venezuelan men labeled as “gang members” by the Trump administration where their hair was shaved, dressed in white, and sitting on cement. The Trump administration used these men’s gang “affiliation” as a justification for their lifetime sentences in a concentration camp in El Salvador known as CECOT.
Based on that justification Trump should send himself to El Salvador and lock himself in a cell for the rest of his life for being part of the war criminal gang known as the presidents of the United States of America. Trump is obviously never going to go to prison for his crimes because prison has been abolished for the most dangerous criminals in our society. That’s the result of the most dangerous criminals in our society running prisons.
Trump can now add sending people who he knew were not criminals to prisons to excite his racist base on his ever growing criminal record. Yes! The Trump administration knew most of the 238 people who were trafficked to El Salvador didn’t have criminal records. At this point Trump will need a datacenter to store his rap sheet. I’m not shocked by this news at all because when was the last time Trump ever let the truth get between him and his racism.
Thirty of the men were convicted of a crime in the United States and twenty were convicted or arrested in Latin American countries. Even if all these men had a criminal history, WE SHOULDN’T BE LOCKING UP PEOPLE IN CAGES, PERIOD! NOT DOMESTICALLY, NOT ABROAD, NOWHERE! Sorry I had to scream that. It is exhausting listening to people condone incarceration for “bad” people in the name of safety.
There is no amount of caging other humans that will make us safe. In fact, caging other humans prevents us from being safe as it prevents us from solving the problems which ail our society like capitalism and low rise jeans. Maybe the invention of pants that don’t have enough space for people’s butts (by people I mean me) is more of a symptom of a toxic society and less of a cause, but I, nonetheless, wanted to name it.
When criminality is used to excuse the violation of human rights, scoundrels like Donald Trump can utilize this as a premise to further their racist agendas. To be clear, Donald Trump is simply following the American tradition of criminalizing people who are not white to reify their mistreatment and position as second-class citizens.
If Trump kidnapped 238 brown men and said he was sending them to a concentration camp because they are not white and he wants to create an environment of fear for anyone who is not white, a lot of people would be up in arms. Trump’s racist constituents would celebrate by drinking gasoline. I don’t know what racists do to celebrate but drinking gasoline makes sense: it’s bad for the planet and Anthony Fauci wouldn’t approve. We know racists hate the planet and Fauci.
That’s it for the news but don’t go yet
TikTok removed a video where I said kidnapping and trafficking people is an American tradition. Watch it on YouTube and subscribe to my channel.
