'Other venues' is not going to be a solution. There are two whole-ass full-time major professional orchestras under contract there. There's a good chance that this "plan" is actually an attempt to break the union they belong to, along with all the other unions with workers there.

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville.

In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

I understand it's hard for some to use the term concentration camp, even for those horrified by what's happening. And there are settings (e.g., court) where it may not be helpful today. The key thing to realize is that there's an arc of how detention regimes tend to go, and we're recognizably on it.
