ICE is keeping the for-profit prison industry flush with cash...
“That’s slavery.”

Civil Rights lawyer @oliverma2026.bsky.social (running for CA Lt. Gov.) reminds us ICE detainees work in for-profit prisons for $1/day just to pay for phone calls to their families.

Cruelty is big business.

P.S. @CoreCivic’s new CEO’s last name is “Swindle” — beyond parody

Mainers, it's absolutely essential to video ICE. These have provided evidence in cases that led to judges restricting ICE in Chicago and, more recently, Minnesota. In the decision released yesterday, a MN judge ruled that ICE violated people's First and Fourth amendment rights. #mepolitics

That $50,000 hiring bonus is paid after 5 yrs with ICE. It’s not going to cover defense charges for kidnapping. Sentencing enhancements if the victim is under 18, a weapon was brandished, injury occurred, and more. Charge them! #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Up to $125 million to rename the Department of Defense.

But they can't find the money to lower premiums for Americans crushed by health care costs.

It's been a chaotic time to be an artist. Now that Canada has a trade agreement with China, it's only a matter of time before Trump ends free trade.

If you're American and been eyeing a piece, now's probably the time.

I know times are tough, but if you could help with a share, it'd mean so much.

Fetterman is scolding the left while the right burns the house down. That’s not resisting squat.

I’m telling y’all, John Fetterman is going to be worse for Democrats than Joe Manchin ever was. When we’re counting Senate seats in the Dem column, we should skip right over him.

Trumplethinskin can dish it out, but just can't take it.

Because someone called him a "Pedophile Protector", the short-fingered vulgarian flipped the tiniest bird imaginable. 😂

Don’t serve these goons!!!
ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!

“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

Good.

We need to completely purge, weaken, and dismantle the fascist regime and their Reeks.

When you have power, flex it, and flex it for the people, our freedoms and democracy.
