We Were Told
How the far right and fundamental left is complicit with the atrocities happening to the most marginalized in the US

The new bill passed yesterday is expected to result in approximately 12 million of the poorest Americans losing health coverage by 2034, and ultimately, the bill permanently extends Trump-era tax cuts for the uber wealthy.
The Aligator Alcatraz concentration camp for migrant/ mostly indigenous people of the Americas was constructed in 8 days in the Everglades, with excessive heat designed to hold up to 5,000 human beings in a harsh wilderness surrounded by wildlife. It was built on sacred lands and is a harm to habitat, ecosystems, and a detriment to the imprisoned population who have committed no crime, nor received any due process.
The victims will be housed in wire cages with metal bunks near dangerous swamps, often exposed to extreme heat and flooding. Less than 6 months into the current regime's rule, millions of poor people have lost healthcare, there are masked men kidnapping people on the streets without due process with the approval of the government, and prison-like camps are being constructed for the poor and marginalized people.
If you supported Trump and the oligarchs, then you supported these atrocities; this is exactly what you voted for. If you are a fundamental leftist who, rather than support harm reduction, decided that Trump and Harris were the same and didn't vote, or engaged in voter suppression, you supported these atrocities because they were all outlined in Project 2025.
I guess that at least the fundamental leftists are okay because they didn't vote out of their privilege (lives in a blue state, white, male, upper middle class, cis, straight, or doesn't live in the US). Still, for the Trump supporters, unless you are exceedingly wealthy, land owning, white, and male, cis, you will not escape this regime's fierce hunger to exploit, extract, and oppress anyone within the US's arbitrary borders who doesn't look exactly like themselves.
