This one. Right here.
As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.
And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.
Cashing in on cruelty.

Who does what? The PROTESTS make people mad about Police Thingy.
It’s the protests’ fault.
That’s why people are mad.
It works on everyone’s subconscious level, I bet, even if you pay attention / have the analysis to see it consciously.

I don't believe in hell but private prison companies should go there anyway.
GEO Group, whose stock is valued at $4 billion, says that Washington's minimum wage laws don’t apply to the cleaning services that it’s asked detained migrants to perform at facilities where they’re kept.

An ICE Contractor Is Worth Billions. It’s Still Fighting to Pay Detainees as Little as $1 a Day to Work.

For the record @bostonglobe.com: No one “deserves an apology” for being called on their transphobia: just because bigotry is increasingly popular does not mean it is right. Trans people, nonbinary people, and gender diverse people deserve to flourish. Full stop. 🧵 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/11/n...

We had a phenomenal community lunch and conversation at #ThePryde yesterday. Thank you, @pressley.house.gov, for fighting for our Community Project Funding and for standing with our beloved LGBTQ+ elders on St. Patricks Day and every day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Such a joy to join our elders at The Pryde to celebrate the culture & contributions of our Irish American & LGBTQ+ siblings.
And it’s great to see our community project funding dollars in action giving our local elders an opportunity to thrive in community.

Trump's anti-trans effort is an agenda cornerstone with echoes in history
Extremism experts say a now-familiar playbook to scapegoat transgender people in the wake of high-profile tragedies is part of a political strategy to sow division and expand authoritarian control.
