The stock price of private prison company GEO Group has more the doubled since Trump's election.

Trump has already rescinded a Biden order aimed at moving the government away from private prisons.

Pam Bondi, Trump's nominee for Attorney General, used to lobby for GEO Group.

Rumors swirling of massive ICE raids in predominantly blue state cities starting Monday.

DO NOT COMPLY.

-Do not talk to ICE officers or answer their questions
-Do not honor any warrant not signed by a judge
-Do not consent to searches
-And if you know any undocumented immigrants, NO YOU DON'T.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Reminder that it’s totally crazy that our elected officials restrict journalists from filming aspects of what’s happening on the floor of the people’s House. It should not be like this!!

I feel like nobody's mentioning Jimmy Carter only lost the 1980 election after Ronald Reagan committed treason by negotiating with Iran through backchannels to keep the hostage crisis going until after the votes were cast.

It appears Musk came to US on a student visa, did not attend school and worked illegally here.

If he lied in his subsequent immigration applications he committed a felony level crime and could be stripped of his citizenship and security clearances.

Musk's brother: "We were illegal immigrants."
What’s amazing about Musk claiming the reason he’s in America is the H1B visa is that it isn’t true. According to story below, he came here on a student visa, worked illegally and then got an H1B. He should release his immigration records to clear this up.

Elon Musk, enemy of ‘open borders,’ launched his career working illegally
Investors in Musk’s first company worried about “our founder being deported” and gave him a deadline for obtaining a work visa.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
CEO Pay Has Risen 1,085% Since 1978, But for Workers? Just 24% | Common Dreams
CEOs at top US companies saw their pay skyrocket by 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay only increased by 24%
