Not sure if this is the place to bring it up but I’m angry about it and the info hasn’t hit Tumblr yet so: a Canadian corporation played a significant role in the creation of the new concentration camp in Florida. GardaWorld has supplied funding to it and they intend to provide staff as well. I hate security companies so much and I hate how sneakily complicit Canada is in making the world worse.

“What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; one day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sound of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants brass fronted impudence; your shout of liberty and equality, hallow mockery; your prayers and hyms [sic], your sermons and thanks-givings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy – a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.”

— Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), from a speech given at Rochester, New York, July 5, 1852.

in one month, over 500 people have been killed at these sites and over 4,000 people have been injured. & this number will only increase the more people are forced to gamble their lives to stop the slow death by starvation. especially where children are involved.

the gibrils (@/sally-gebreel) are among this number. for weeks, in every conversation, i've seen the pain nader feels, that his wife sally feels, in watching their children (3 children all under 10) slowly become shadows of themselves, consumed by hunger. so it was little surprise when earlier in the week, nader had gone to one of these sites in an attempt to get food for his kids. unfortunately, he returned only with a severe injury after being shot in the back.

while nader is in recovery, i'm pleading with anyone reading this to please donate any amount you're able. with enough support, we can absolutely make sure sally isn't forced to risk going to one of these sites too, just to try and stop their kids from starving
