Apparently the state of Tennessee has been deporting foster kids to out of state facilities with no plan to return them. The ones they’re keeping in state are being housed in office buildings and jails because there’s nowhere else to put them.

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect.

Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

Of course America will find a way to make concentration camps for-profit
Yesterday, private prison company CoreCivic announced that they will reopen a family detention center in Texas. It was previously reported a toddler detained there died due to a lack of medical care.

It will detain up to 2,400 people—including children.
Private prison companies set to make billions reopening jails for ICE
“There's a private interest behind the detention and the incarceration of our community,” said an activist protesting the facilities.

2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon

But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof

Civic participation can be exhausting. I know, we're all so tired. But it's so essential that we keep showing up! Democracy is worth the fight.

Never forget: the most dangerous ideas are the ones you want to believe. Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.
