The Nazis were not the only ones who operated concentration camps. Britain used them in South Africa and Kenya. In Kenya, the camps were sites for random executions and Interrogation involved stuffing detainees mouth with mud and stomping their throats till they passed out.

From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.

BREAKING: Legendary economist Paul Krugman exposes exactly how Donald Trump's cruel deportation crackdown is going to hurt us all — and set off a devastating chain reaction. No one can afford to ignore this warning... Krugman predicts that Trump's avalanche of anti-immigrant policies are going to "hobble" our nation's ability to produce food or construct homes. In a Substack post, Krugman wrote that he has extensively reviewed Trump's tariff and immigration plans and disaster is looming. He wrote that "blocking imports of foreign-made goods and deporting foreign-born workers are, in some ways, similar in their economic implications.” "But tariffs are about dollars and cents; a crackdown on immigrants is about people," Krugman explained. "And because it’s about people, Trump’s hostility to immigrants is likely to do far more damage, humanitarian and even economic, than his trade policy." While Krugman writes that he hopes his predictions are wrong, he expects Americans to begin turning on each other in droves out of fear in an "ugly and scary" way." Trump's mass deportation policies have already "unleashed forces of hatred" that the president won't be able to put back in the box even if he decides he wants to. According to Krugman, immigrants without permanent legal status constitute roughly 5% of America's workforce. The agriculture industry will be decimated if these people are forcibly removed. "Push those workers out, either by actual deportation or detention or simply by creating a climate of fear, and just watch what happens to grocery prices," Krugman wrote. The irony, of course, is that Donald Trump ran on lowering grocery prices and is instead going to skyrocket them to appease his racist base. "So at a time when Americans are still angry about the price of groceries and, with more justification, about the unaffordability of housing, Trump’s immigrant crackdown seems set to hobble food production and home construction," Krugman stated. We couldn't agree more. Americans want common sense policies that help their day-to-day lives. Instead, Trump is unleashing a wave of cruelty that will destroy innocent people and do absolutely nothing to help the rest of us. It's as evil as it is stupid.
