Abolishing DHS, which was created under the Bush administration alongside ICE and Customs and Border Protection, has long been an idea championed by much of the left. Many advocates have reupped their calls for the abolition of DHS in recent weeks.

Which politicians are benefitting from the ICE concentration camp system?
In 2025, GEO Group and CoreCivic​’s ICE contracts are expected to generate over one billion dollars in revenue for each company.

Executive leaders at the helm of prison companies are delighted.

Did your congressional representative receive a donation?

They tell U.S.-born workers that cracking down on immigrants will “protect” us.

@sarahlazare.bsky.social reports the research says the opposite: raids + intimidation mean more wage theft, more dangerous jobs, and a weaker labor movement for everyone.

As abortion clinics disappear nationwide, “crisis pregnancy centers” are transforming reproductive healthcare into a far-right fantasy—quietly collecting hundreds of millions in public funds as Medicaid faces historic cuts.
