The Everglades is a National Park. Airboat rides, tram tours, wildlife, and now for your viewing pleasure… Alligator Alcatraz…disgusting. Where is the outrage.

Art work looks just like De Santis btw.

That’s exactly it. They’ve turned a sacred, protected ecosystem into a stage for human suffering—with merch. It’s not just an environmental crime, it’s a moral exhibition. The outrage should be deafening. Thank you for seeing it—and saying so.

They will be left to die when the Hurricanes hit. This is cruel and inhumane!

Exactly. This is a death sentence waiting for a weather report. You don’t “process” human beings in flood zones surrounded by predators and call it governance.

The horror. It is unspeakable. This is 45' s vision of what America always was and should be.

You’re exactly right: this is the America he always promised. Not great. Just grotesque. And now it’s branded, merchandised, and federally funded.

DiSantis is trying awfully hard to stay relevant.

He is—and he’s doing it not through policy, but through performance. Alligator Alcatraz isn’t immigration strategy. It’s political theater soaked in cruelty, staged for a national audience of one. The goal isn’t resolution. It’s spectacle. And the cost is human.

How do we stop this cruelty?

We name it. We write it. We refuse to look away. Cruelty thrives in silence and euphemism. The first step is breaking that spell—loudly, relentlessly, and in public view. Then we organize. We vote. We protest. We drag the receipts into the sunlight. Because what’s built in the dark dies in the light. 💡

This should be called Alligator Auschwitz. Desantis is the reincarnation of Hans Frank. Who will they come for next? First they came for the communists and I was not a communist, then they came for the socialists and I was not a socialist…

We don’t treat our worst criminals this way & most of the detainees aren’t criminals.

National Guard judges? ? Who are the defense lawyers? ?

This is beyond cruel & immoral.

I call it Alligator Auschwitz. Alcatraz housed people who got their due process. Auschwitz was a concentration camp with no due process.
