"Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from ICE contracts in one year. In 2024, GEO Group made over $763m from ICE"

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

And keep the "Middle East" out of your mouth when you talk about acquiescence to oppression: we fought, comrades are still in prison and dead. We knew what it was and we fought it. But the thing about authoritarianism is there's no u-turn or off-ramp. Much easier done than undone.

Remember all of that blather about how Confederate Monuments were important for preserving history? Sigh.
It's my hope that someday — someday sooner than four years from now, ideally — there will be a growth industry to digitally replace all of the online records these dinguses have tried to erase.

The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history.
