It is perhaps a good time to check if your university, city, retirement account, etc hold CoreCivic stock, and if they do, make your feelings about that known
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Kid Rock's dad owned multiple car dealerships and he grew up in the suburbs of Detroit. Bad Bunny went from bagging groceries and recording his songs in his room to winning multiple Grammys. Which one is the better encapsulation of hard work and the American Dream?

this is why making every ICE and CBP guy's job an endless series of humiliations is critical. also if they don't meet their quota they don't get their bonus.
Ice will probably have fewer guys come November than now
i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
