He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.
Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses.

Republicans whisper “Trump is dangerous” in private, then vote for him and every bill he supports in public. Total cowardice. If you’re afraid of the man you support, maybe it’s a sign you shouldn’t be supporting him?

Had Trump LITERALLY did nothing with our existing partnership and trade deals with our allies, the American economy would be in a much better place.
Instead, he interferes and makes everything worse. Example: the Vietnam "deal."
Now we're going to pay more for goods. Because...MAGA.

Every so-called "red state" is a place where Republicans have refined voting districts & other election systems to control how they'll break in advance.
Imagine if the Boise area weren't split between two districts, for instance!
Dumping on an entire state always means gratuitously punching down.

Please keep this in mind before you dump on any red state as a whole. Not all of us living here are hateful extremists, nor can we easily pack up and move.
I mean seriously every time I see a national news story about Idaho it’s because of something horrible. I promise not everything and everybody here is horrible.

“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called yesterday's decision about nationwide injunctions "an existential threat to the rule of law."
She's mistaken.
