One thing I am impressed with Trump, this Supreme Court, the Techocrats, and Project 2025ers is that they have been mind-bogglingly efficient at exposing the rot and fragility at the center of American institutions. Not even a whiff of statesmanship or respectability is left.

Spotlight On: New American Slavery Acts of 2025
There have been two bills introduced in Mississippi (HB1484) and Missouri (SB72) that say that undocumented immigrants who are arrested in those states will be imprisoned for life without possibility for parole.
They would go into the for-profit privately-owned prisons which lawmakers are heavily lobbied by, and heavily invest in.

Slavery is legal in most American states — as a punishment for a crime. And prisons use that slave labor to its fullest financial benefit.

Prisoners are rented to businesses as low-cost labor, particularly in difficult and dangerous jobs such as farm work.
If Mississippi and Missouri have introduced these bills, it seems that it’s just the beginning. Mass deportations are going to change to mass incarcerations, and the moral wound that For Profit Prisons and Prison Slavery has been will complete it’s natural evolution in this fascist government’s hands — our generation’s concentration camps.
