I talk a lot about aviation and law. Firm believer in democracy. Not ready to live in a kakistocracy. Southern California based. Too many dogs and a loving spouse.
Oh, good, I can finally pray for righteous karmic retribution and use someone's name.
The current person in charge of ICE's procurement for detention is a GEO Group executive who ran the company's immigration detention portfolio. He was granted an "ethics waiver" from DHS allowing him to hand out contracts to GEO in his new role.

Wow. Hundreds of millions of gallons of raw human waste have spilled into the Potomac River, threatening the health of the river and the safety of those who use it.
It appears to be the largest discharge of its kind in US history. The smell must be something. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/c...

This is just plain offensive. It attempts to indict every Jew for simply believing that Jews are entitled to a nation state and it is perilously close to anti-semitic. These kinds of broad generalizations are just as much propaganda as what comes out of the Israeli government.

Not just an American problem. I find it sort of amazing that so many powerful people listen to Bannon. Between energizing MAGA, engineering Brexit, and trying to coup the Pope, the guy appears prolific.

Where's your pension fund invested? Do you know? Find out and start calling.
Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

Kids in Lindenwold, NJ ran from their bus stop after spotting ICE agents during an operation. A 10 year old said agents followed him as he rushed home, with counselors later brought in to support the frightened children.
