ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

S.J.💙🩵💙🦋 @glimmers2.bsky.social · 1h

Reading how private equity firms have taken over contracts at almost two-thirds of the country’s 90 federally approved immigration detention centers. This means a lot of Wall Street money now depends on America’s immigration detention system being as big as possible.

A lesson for all of us: “mobility, flexible livelihood and diverse social networks” worked in the past and will
be needed in the near future.

What can archaeological finds tell us about climate change? A lot, in the right hands. MacArthur genius Kristina Douglass is "investigating how past human societies and environments co-evolved and adapted to climate variability" on Madagascar.

Google’s company motto was “Don’t be evil.” They abandoned it around 2018, during Trump’s first term. Coincidence? I think not.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

“Video of the arrest taken by an onlooker showed ICE agents handcuffing Brockman after they forced her to lie on her stomach. As the agents were detaining her, Brockman told the onlooker her name and asked him to let her employer, WGN, know what had happened to her.”

Why did the military leadership have to go the speech if
it was going to be mandatory viewing?The egotistical emblem of failure that is Hegseth created an unprecedented national security risk by forcing people he sees as ‘beneath’ him to gather in one room, because he could.

Curtis Yarvin, Coward in Chief and creator of the technocrats “Butterfly Revolution” has announced that he believes it has already failed, and that he’s planning on fleeing the country. Very in character for him to run away #curtisyarvin

Remember the ‘pastor’ who claimed that you should join ICE to make Jesus smile? In the least surprising twist, he’s also homophobic and of course, blames everything on Democrats.

Pam Bondi was a registered foreign agent and lobbyist for the government of Qatar. We can’t have immigrants in our nation but we can have a foreign government’s Air Force here?!? Make it make sense.
