Am fully supportive of changing the nickname from "Alligator Alcatraz" to "Alligator Auschwitz." As the FB friend who posted the suggestion pointed out, it's not a prison (no one there is there because of any crime committed, unless one is counting being undocumented in and of itself), it's a concentration camp.

It's not just a nickname. Alligator Alcatraz is the actual name of the place. Florida's Department of Transportation has already installed new road signs, which is the fastest they've ever worked in their history.

OK. I still think we're allowed to call it something else (much as I've been referring to recently-passed legislation... which also possesses an official alliterative name... as the "Large Ludicrous Legislation" instead of what the GOP calls it).

You can call it "law" now. It passed, and trump will probably sign it tomorrow.

I've self-deported in advance. I will never go back to the USA from where I live now until things change substantially for the better. I view the US as almost as dangerous to visit as China, North Korea and Russia.

I wouldn’t even want to risk going there on a holiday or a business trip, to be honest. I’m a white British man with no criminal records or anything suspicious about me, so on paper shouldn’t have anything to worry about (other than the US’s high crime rate) , but the US government seems to be making the country as hostile as possible to all outsiders.

I wonder if any cheeky young boys will change the road signs to "Aligator Auschwitz"?

You say that like DeSantis would replace the sign if that happened.

Give the Republicans a few weeks to get braver and they'll change the sign themselves.
