And I did not speak out
Because I was not a transgender juvenile athlete (and there are probably only 100 in the whole country)
-
Then they came for the unofficial migrants (the paperwork is a civil federal matter)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an unofficial migrant
-
Then they came for the unhoused Americans
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a currently unhoused American, a person camping on BLM land, or a person camping in their back yard for more than 7 days per year where it is now illegal
-
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
* Immigrants breaking established laws (that you may or may not agree with, again a 50/50 split)
* I have no idea what you're talking about the last one, feel free to link some articles for me to read
Are you really comparing the above to the treatment of minorities during the Halocaust, e.g. round up and murdered en masse?
Does what's happening today even look remotely close to some of the evil things the US has done in the past, e.g. Japenese internment, displacement of Native Americans, slavery, etc.
I don't agree with what's going on, and I do see potential for it to become worse, but comparing it to actual crimes against humanity seems like a stretch
Absolutely terrible that this happened, but how in the world are you comparing this to rounding up people based on race/other traits and systemically killing them?
> “The individual with the same first, middle and last name bears a striking resemblance to the individual temporarily taken into custody by mistake.”
> Insisting that he looked like a violent criminal on their wanted list
> Shave your beard off so we won't mistake you again
stupid comment from the agent, but it sounds like they were explaining how they mixed the victim up with a criminal
Since the point is the escalation to have no hurdles.

In typical DeSantis fashion, he's not signing any laws limiting this entertainment to "adults only" restricting access to anyone under the age of 18. And he's not passing laws to ban all drag shows across the state. This is political theater, in the same way that his two year presidential "grooming in schools" campaign resulted in zero arrests of teachers or librarians and the removal of completely unrelated books. And lets not forget that the panel to remove books was lead by a political opportunist that was later implicated in a sex scandal that included allegations of rape.
