The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

If you read something about Trump or the MAGA crew (even from the AP) & your first reaction to it is anger/outrage, wait a while and do some research before smashing that repost button. Too many people on the left are becoming tools for spreading #misinformation & rage bait. Let's pay attention.

OldParatroop @oldparatrp.bsky.social · 9h

Folks really should be cognitive of the fact, by now, that misinformation is being pushed to the left & right.

They will ramp up their Psyop campaign to keep the populace inflamed.

I know everyone is addicted to outrage reporting, let’s just make sure whatever we share is truth, not misinformation
