Big corporations profiting off Trump’s administration at our expense. No surprise and we have been told this before, so never forget who we should be calling out and not be giving our $.
Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.
Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.
AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.
Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Bipartisan is a good thing when we’re talking about something like an infrastructure bill. But more funding for ICE abuse with our tax dollars shouldn’t have a single Democrat’s name on it.
THIS IS WHAT PLAYING “BOTH SIDES” LOOKS LIKE.

We know how corrupt Trump is, but this one is another sign of the times. You can renounce your citizenship, become a national & international criminal, name yourself “Bitcoin Jesus”, have T Carlson, Loomer and R Stone, and “Friends of Trump” help pardon you. Read till end to see the corruption.
The DOJ indicted “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver in one of the largest-ever crypto tax fraud cases.
Those familiar with the case said the evidence was “rock solid” and that prosecutors were confident of a conviction.
Then Donald Trump won a second term.
