And making shit for corporations:

Because the business model of prison labor requires a constant influx of prisoners, private prisons have included “lockup quotas” into their dealings with federal and state authorities. The premise of the lockup quota is that taxpayers either have to keep these facilities at least 90% capacity or pay for the empty prison beds.

In order to continue bringing in profits, private prisons have found new sources for forced labor. In California, immigrants who were held in detention facilities owned by GEO Group are suing GEO Group for forced labor and wage theft. One of the class-action lawsuits alleges that detainees at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center were paid $1 a day for their labor, two others allege that GEO Group violated federal and California forced labor laws, while the fourth hopes to stop forced labor at 12 of GEO’s immigration facilities. Some immigrants worked for $1 a day while others worked for extra food, and under GEO’s Housing Unit Sanitation Policies, detained immigrants must work or face sanctions like solitary confinement or interference with their immigration cases.

For-profit prisons don’t want you to prepare for life after prison, you’re their money maker.

Is it inside an annealer? There’s not much techy info in these links, but cool as hell.

Keep up the momentum!

Is that better? 🥕🥕🥕🥕

Nope, but at least you’re trying.

Edit: Remember, a huge number of people that would protest have either been deported or are afraid of being deported. We’re dealing with the baddies after all.

FYI, the number ranges from 6 million to 13 million. People were yelling and one even needed a 4 hour surgery to fix his eye from being shot with a rubber bullet. Why aren’t you congratulating the huge number that did come out instead of spreading your negativity around? I guess I’ve heard your ballads, so that might explain some of that.

FYI, Americans prefer kudos over anger when they do something great.

What country are you from?

Idiocracy, 1984, and Hunger Games were not supposed to be documentaries.

They also want to control the headlines that make it to the front page like other major instances do.

Nahhh, Meta sucks ass and will screw you over in a heartbeat. What’s in it for them is the question.

Why We’re Organizing No Kings Protests on Saturday–A king is only a king if we bow down

For the would-be dictator, success depends on projecting power and creating an aura of inevitability. They need you to believe that Trump is the new normal, that the MAGA movement will be in power for the long haul, that the only rational move is to go along, keep your head down, and protect your own interests.

In short, it requires a countless number of people in a countless number of places to do something that the Trump regime doesn’t want them to do, or to NOT do something the Trump regime wants them to do. That’s how we shake off the aura of inevitability and halt the autocratic breakthrough.

For that to happen, people need to feel like we’re part of something bigger. We need to understand that we’re part of a movement. We need to feel like we will win.

I saw the news go down that he was abducted from real sources, but I haven’t done the news parade this morning yet. Not sure.

I always thought they found him through tracking the crypto, not tracking them through tiktok. That dude paid for his lies.

are 2x more likely

Meaning, there can be instances where it’s true or not true.

I watched in real time tech bros defending AI about stealing everyone’s art to them realizing that they’re creating something that will replace them. It was sad funny.

Of course, green cards aren’t worth the paper they are printed on anymore.

So true, and wealth won’t protect you if he doesn’t like you. Look at Elon having to go groveling back to him.

The dude that spoke to me, I think was wrong. Here is what USA Today says (I know):

President Donald Trump’s long-touted “gold card,” which offers foreigners a path to U.S. citizenship after paying $5 million to the government, is open for business.

But even if you have the money, there’s a waitlist at trumpcard.gov. And read the fine print carefully: Your $5 million doesn’t buy you immediate citizenship.

Trump has said that he is not seeking approval from Congress as he is not providing gold card buyers with citizenship - only a path to citizenship. The path to citizenship requirements for card buyers are unclear and White House officials have said more details will be provided soon.

Someone said in another thread that you don’t have to invest anymore, just park your money somewhere. I bet trump coins are included in the list of parking destinations.

That’s already happening. Karma seems to not exist for people without consciences.

The economic times is rated as somewhat sketch on a few bias checkers. I’m not familiar with it. It’s out of India?

Thanks, I hadn’t come across that yet. Newsweek is hiding these kind of articles form their frontpage, I have no idea why. I appreciate you taking the time to source it well.
