Trumpian slavery…
Some ICE detainees are being forced to perform cheap labor ($0.13/hr), in exchange for very brief phone calls & basic necessities.
Meanwhile...The owners of for-profit detention centers used by ICE are raking in BILLIONS, funneling money back to MAGA-aligned PACS to feed the cycle of corruption.

More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

More accurate, fewer words;
"There are plenty of contractors going under".
A friend furloughed 75% of staff (furlough w/paying for health insurance for three months), 50% exec pay cut, 25% rest of staff to keep as many people w/salary.
PS: Wasn't 18F a government office, not a contractor.

It's not the start of an oligarchy. We're in the thick of it now.
All together, the nine billionaires tapped by Trump to serve in his administration are worth at least $340 billion – higher than the GDP of 172 countries.
They will not be looking out for us.
