They didn’t use the The Schutzstaffel Nazi symbol in the German mailers because they thought it would violate hate speech laws.

There was no reason to use 2 of those runes together.

Tell me then, why would they use 2 side by side. And why not show those symbols to Germans?

Neither the “Doppelrune” (Doublerune) nor the “Siegrune/Sig-Rune” (Victory rune) are historic runes and were created 1929 by Walther Heck. The “Siegrune” itself wasn’t even inspired by the germanic “sowilo” rune (ᛋ), Walther Heck himself stated, that he created it, as he disliked the soft form of the “S” in the latin alphabet and wanted to provide an alternative to the “Fraktur” style that was commonly used in germany at that time.

This ᛋ is “sowilo/sigel/sol”, the germanic rune for sun

This ϟ is the “Siegrune”, created 1929 by Walther Heck as an alternative to the letter “S” and was used by the Nazis

This ϟϟ is the “Doppelrune”, also a creation by Walther Heck and used as a symbol for the SS

The Schutzstaffel is purely a Nazi symbol.

There was no reason to use 2 of those runes together, especially when not using it in German mailers because they thought it would violate hate speech laws.

Either you are trying to gaslight people into thinking that ᛋᛋ is not a symbol of hate and genocide, or you are extremely ignorant.

Sometimes corporations lie.

It’s not being unhinged to say you don’t like something. And the way that Mozilla is embracing “AI” is not welcomed.

Mozilla should be scrutinized, even if Firefox is currently the best option.

I think the only thing keeping them inline is loud community backlash everytime they make one of those misssteps.

Yes, Hitler was so devastated he shot himself in the head.

I know right? It was just an innocent nod to Nazis.

I can’t even heil myself in public anymore, people are just so sensitive and overly political.

Oh, explain how using the Schutzstaffel insignia is acceptable?

Good Old Germany

1. It’s a literal hate symbol.
2. You are defending a company using Nazi imagery.
3. There was no reason for the inclusion of the Nazi hate symbol.

Ways to Help

Share Information on the Strike and Protests

One of the first steps is to make more people aware of the situation and the realities of concentration camps in America. Spread information with your community and social circles.

Demand Media Attention

While New York and Los Angeles local outlets have run stories on these strikes, neither has quite attracted a national groundswell, and thus far little of the coverage has acknowledged that these aren’t isolated incidents. (There have been previous hunger strikes in the concentration camp archipelago,** including at the North Lake Processing Facility in Michigan last month.) Let’s urge them to cover the protests.

Demand and Plan Action

We’ve seen multiple members of Congress show up to Delaney Hall for inspections this weekend, but the Adelanto strike hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention, and there are still far too many of our elected officials who have refused to use their power to shine a light on what’s happening inside the camps. Especially if we’re from Southern California, New York or New Jersey, let’s reach out to our reps and demand they visit the hunger strikers. We can also tell them that it would be obscene to deliver billions more to ICE and CBP while they refuse to improve conditions in detention, and they must vote against the reconciliation bill. And more importanly, plan other methods of support.

Sample Call Members of Congress:

Find your representative here!

Hello, my name is _________ and I am calling to urge [your representative name] to make a visit to the Adelanto Detention Center & Desert View Annex to support the hunger strikers. On May 19th, 20 men launched a hunger strike over the inhumane conditions and lack of medical care inside the facility. As a result, these courageous individuals have undertaken this strike out of the need to have their rights and dignity be respected. As a member of Congress, we urge you to make a visit to Adelanto & Desert View and meet with the hunger strikers to support their demands. Thank you.

Sample Email for Members of Congress:

Find your representative here!

Hello, my name is _________ and I am a resident of [Insert your city]. I am contacting [your representative name] over the recent hunger strike launched by men at the Desert View Annex. This hunger strike was launched as a result of the inhumane, cruel conditions that many individuals inside Adelanto and Desert View Annex are facing. From inedible food to non-existent medical care - these claims were all verified in a recent report by the California Attorney General. As a member of Congress, you have the authority to visit and enter these detention facilities. We urge you to set up a visit to Adelanto and Desert View to take note of the horrendous conditions and meet with the hunger strikers to support their demands. Thank you

There’s a lot of profit in paying immigrants a dollar a day to run their own jail—until they refuse.

It has now been almost two weeks since the laborers keeping ICE’s Delaney Hall mega-jail open went on strike—demanding a chance to speak with New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, reviews of their cases, and ultimately, their freedom. Those workers are the detainees themselves, who serve as custodians, line cooks, hairdressers, laundry workers, and janitors at the Newark prison-turned-detention center where a thousand people are trapped in DHS custody, working for wages as low as a dollar per day.

What began as a simultaneous hunger and labor strike has become largely a labor struggle, organizers with the immigrant rights group Cosecha New Jersey told me. That strike, according to a letter signed by 46 detained people and published June 3, is near-unanimous and ongoing: “people detained have all voluntarily stopped working and assisting with facility operations,” they wrote in a May 31 letter titled “We Demand Freedom.”

The for-profit firm GEO Group, ICE’s largest private contractor and Delaney Hall’s operator, runs what it calls a “voluntary work program” that in effect keeps the center operating, described in a recent GEO Group detainee handbook reviewed by Mother Jones.

“Any resident assigned to work in the kitchen will be paid $4.00 per day,” the handbook says. That’s the highest wage anyone gets: “Laundry Work Details and Barbershop Workers will be paid $3.00 per day. Special Work Details are paid $2.00 per day. All other job assignments are $1.00 per day. Ordinarily you will not be permitted to work more than eight hours per day or 40 hours per week.”

The document also lists the cost of a pair of shoes at GEO Group’s commissary: $24.28, equivalent to several weeks’ wages. A blanket costs eight dollars. ID cards, which detained people must pay to replace if damaged, cost $5 each, or a full week’s pay.

While the work program is labeled as voluntary, “encouraging others to participate in a work stoppage or to refuse to work” is listed in the detainee handbook as a “high offense,” punishable by disciplinary transfer, isolation, or initiating criminal proceedings.

“Engaging in, or inciting a group demonstration” is also a “high offense” and “prohibited act.” And, the detained strikers wrote in their June 3 letter, they have been “subjected to reprisals, discrimination, mockery, mistreatment, and threats” since their strike began.

Hundreds of detainees across at least 33 states allege in federal lawsuits that immigration detention facilities are failing to provide adequate medical care, an investigation by KFF Health News and The Associated Press found. Detainees say they didn’t get medications on time — or at all — for conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, epilepsy, Parkinson’s and HIV. Requests for help went unanswered for weeks. Blood sugars rose. Infections festered. Cancers remained untreated. Detainees collapsed and had seizures.

U.S. jails and immigration detention centers have long struggled to meet the medical needs of the people in their charge. But the system is sagging under an influx of detentions since President Donald Trump returned to office: More than 75,000 immigrants were being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as of mid-January, up from around 40,000 a year earlier.

…

The investigation revealed that medical neglect is alleged across the sprawling detention system, including in offices not designed to house people, county jails and quickly staged sites with nicknames such as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

ICE custody is deadlier than it has been in two decades, researchers wrote in JAMA in April. The Department of Homeland Security reported 51 people had died in detention since the start of Trump’s second administration, with suicides spiking to an unprecedented number.
