‘Like an Experimental Concentration Camp’: Whistleblower Complaint Alleges Mass Hysterectomies at ICE Detention Center

Several legal advocacy groups on Monday filed a whistleblower complaint on behalf of a nurse at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center documenting “jarring medical neglect” within the facility, including a refusal to test detainees for the novel coronavirus and an exorbitant rate of hysterectomies being performed on immigrant women.

The nurse, Dawn Wooten, was employed at the Irwin County Detention Center (ICDC) in Georgia, which is operated by LaSalle Corrections, a private prison company. The complaint was filed with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by advocacy groups Project South, Georgia Detention Watch, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, and South Georgia Immigrant Support Network.

Multiple women came forward to tell Project South about what they perceived to be the inordinate rate at which women in ICDC were subjected to hysterectomies – a surgical operation in which all or part of the uterus is removed. Additionally, many of the immigrant women who underwent the procedure were reportedly “confused” when asked to explain why they had the surgery, with one detainee likening their treatment to prisoners in concentration camps.

The whole fucking article @ Shosta and Mandark:

Biden is still ahead overall, but his margin is smaller than it appears, and the race in key battleground states remains tight, even as the Trump economy craters and the Trump-intensified pandemic persists. Meanwhile, there appears to be a significant enthusiasm gap between both candidates’ voters.

Polls from CBS and the Associated Press over the summer found that Trump’s voting base is more enthusiastic about the election than Biden’s base.

Now comes the latest Fox News poll (which despite the sponsoring media outlet is widely considered a credible, high-quality survey). In that survey, Biden still leads the race, but 59 percent of Trump voters say they are enthusiastic for their candidate to win while only 43 percent of Biden voters say the same about their candidate.

Here’s the really scary part: At this time during the 2016 election cycle, this same poll showed Clinton was actually leading Trump in those same enthusiasm metrics by a gap of 44 percent to 35 percent.
[...]

But vote-shaming isn’t one of them. Indeed, throwing shade at voters for feeling burnt out and unenthused is the modern-day “let them eat cake” — and the impulse to engage in as self-destructive a tactic as vote-shaming evinces the dangerous ideology at work here.

Progressives sounding alarms about these facts are periodically depicted as seditious Russian-backed assets nefariously trying to throw the election to Trump. But many of the lefty jeremiads are more like the jeers I heard at Veterans Stadium as a childhood baseball fan.

Back then, many Phillies fans booed my favorite player Mike Schmidt, the greatest third baseman of all time. They booed him so incessantly that at one point he jokingly wore a wig on the field to try to hide his identity. It was heartbreaking to me as a kid, but I came to understand the boos not so much coming from a place of nihilism, but instead coming more from a place of sadness. Philadelphia’s notoriously unforgiving fans booed because they were bummed out by the Phillies losses. They wanted Schmidt to do better and wanted the Phillies to win ballgames.

God this whole article is better than sex. I might need a cigarette.

That entire analysis is poor. Biden suffers an enthusiasm problem but he's courting independents and moderates, not affluent republicans.

[benjipwns]

WASHINGTON - One tweet claimed coronavirus numbers were intentionally inflated, adding, "It's hard to know what to believe." Another warned, "Don't trust Dr. Fauci."

A Facebook comment argued that mail-in ballots "will lead to fraud for this election," while an Instagram comment amplified the erroneous claim that 28 million ballots went missing in the past four elections.

The messages have been emanating in recent months from the accounts of young people in Arizona seemingly expressing their own views - standing up for President Donald Trump in a battleground state and echoing talking points from his reelection campaign.

Far from representing a genuine social media groundswell, however, the posts are the product of a sprawling yet secretive campaign that experts say evades the guardrails put in place by social media companies to limit online disinformation of the sort used by Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Teenagers, some of them minors, are being paid to pump out the messages at the direction of Turning Point Action, an affiliate of Turning Point USA, a prominent conservative youth organization based in Phoenix, according to four people with independent knowledge of the effort. Their descriptions were confirmed by detailed notes from relatives of one of the teenagers who recorded conversations with him about the efforts.

The campaign draws on the spam-like behavior of bots and trolls, with the same or similar language posted repeatedly across social media. But it is carried out, at least in part, by humans paid to use their own accounts, though nowhere disclosing their relationship with Turning Point Action or the digital firm brought in to oversee the day-to-day activity. One user included a link to Turning Point USA's website in his Twitter profile until The Washington Post began asking questions about the activity.

In response to questions from The Post, Twitter on Tuesday suspended at least 20 accounts involved in the activity for "platform manipulation and spam." Facebook also deactivated a number of accounts as part of what the company said is an ongoing investigation.

"This is sincere political activism conducted by real people who passionately hold the beliefs they describe online, not an anonymous troll farm in Russia," the field director, Austin Smith, said in the statement.

He said the operation reflected an attempt by Turning Point Action to maintain its advocacy despite the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic, which has curtailed many traditional political events.

"Like everyone else, Turning Point Action's plans for nationwide in-person events and activities were completely disrupted by the pandemic," Smith said. "Many positions TPA had planned for in field work were going to be completely cut, but TPA managed to reimagine these roles and working with our marketing partners, transitioned some to a virtual and online activist model."

One parent of two teenagers involved in the effort, Robert Jason Noonan, said his 16- and 17-year-old daughters were being paid by Turning Point to push "conservative points of view and values" on social media. He said they have been working with the group since about June, adding in an interview, "The job is theirs until they want to quit or until the election."

...

Noonan, 46, said "some of the comments may go too far" but cast the activity as a response to similar exaggerations by Democrats. "Liberals say things that are way out there, and conservatives say things that are sometimes way out there, or don't have enough evidence."

Those recruited to participate in the campaign were lifting the language from a shared online document, according to Noonan and other people familiar with the setup. They posted the same lines a limited number of times to avoid automated detection by the technology companies, these people said. They also were instructed to edit the beginning and ending of each snippet to differentiate the posts slightly, according to the notes from the recorded conversation with a participant.

Noonan said his daughters sometimes work from an office in the Phoenix area and are classified as independent contractors, not earning "horrible money" but also not making minimum wage. Relatives of another person involved said the minor is paid an hourly rate and can score bonuses if his posts spur higher engagement.

Researchers said "one of the most disturbing" findings was that 11 percent of respondents nationally think Jews caused the Holocaust. This number rises to 19 percent in New York, which is the state with the highest Jewish population.

I was accused of being pessimistic towards society today.

[EchoRin]

I don't really know how you accomplish that.

I get that many students don't care about history class. I mean it wasn't even my favorite (well there were multiple history classes throughout the years, but just in general). But even as a complete footnote and total not giving a shit, how does one not know what the Holocaust was? I mean I don't need specifics and names of concentration camps. A simple "Nazis hated Jews and killed plenty of them during WW2" is more than sufficient.

Fuck, you don't even need school. You bump into this stuff by accident if you are at least a slightly curious human being. The odd movie here and there, some random news article showing up on your news feed, random story of great great grandpa in WW2, Anne Frank being brought up for the billionth time cause your kid is learning about her in school or you bumped into some hipsters listening to Neutral Milk Hotel or it was on Good Morning America that it's some random anniversary of her birthday. Like what the fuck? You pretty much learn about the Holocaust by accident frankly if you live in North America or Europe even if you don't give the slightest shit about something that happened 70 years ago. Shit you even know about it if you listen to the deniers for fuck sake

Holocaust of the jews?


was there another holocaust?

[tiesto]

When I was in school, we would have Holocaust survivors come to speak to us about the horrors of what went on. Not sure what it's like nowadays or in other parts of the country (I am from a heavily Jewish area and know a number of survivors)...

[Madrun Badrun]

In the national survey, 63 percent of U.S. adults between 18 and 39 years old did not know that 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, with 36 percent believing “two million or fewer Jews” were killed.

Researchers said “one of the most disturbing” findings was that 11 percent of respondents nationally think Jews caused the Holocaust. This number rises to 19 percent in New York, which is the state with the highest Jewish population.

I would not be suprised if a large amount of people choose to reply with the answer they believe and not the one expected of them.
