BREAKING: A whistleblower says women at an ICE detention center were forced to wear diapers, denied basic sanitation, and packed onto floors “like goats in a cage.”
People lying in urine and feces.
No menstrual supplies.
Boxes filled with used diapers.
He reported it — and was fired.
This happened in Baltimore.
u know back in the day I studied criminal justice in high school. My teacher was telling us about how he’d never break the law but then the convo got rly dark n serious almost when he said but if it came down to his son and having what they needed. He’d start stealing and do what he needed to do. And I never forgot that conversation because this is what happens. When you deny people a basic right, when you deny families and children of basic human needs it’s going to be a lot more stealing. It’s going to be a lot more violence. When people have nothing to lose and you’ve already stripped them of everything they had they stop fearing consequence. When you take control of every resource, deliberately make it inaccessible by price gouging, yet turn around and shame people who ARE working hard and still cannot afford resources that are a basic human right, people are going to become more and more angry. When it comes to taking food out of peoples mouths, they are going to start doing what they have to do to feed their families. If you show no regard for human life why would people show regard for yours. It’s only going to continue to get worse.
This is super powerful in representation.
Imagine how many more “disabled” people would be able to contribute to the arts if we lived in societies that allowed for accessibility in all mediums of labor.
Dionne Quan, you did that girl.
