Attorney General Pam Bondi was a lobbiest for Geo Group which is the countries biggest investor in Privatized Prisons. According to Wikipedia, as of September 2024 “ the company owned and managed 80,000 beds at 99 facilities, making it the largest prison operator in the United States.” In 2019 Geo Group obtained 53% of it's revenues from the United States Government.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally deported into the bowels of CECOT—a concrete oubliette for the expendable—despite court protection. The Supreme Court ordered him returned. The administration shrugged. Either he’s dead, or he knows too much. In both cases, silence is the strategy. When a government can disappear a man and spit on its own Supreme Court, it’s not just post-democratic—it’s practicing tyranny in a tailored suit. 🗽🆘

This is what America has become. A bunch of greedy people screwing their fellow countrymen. Nice real nice. Insurance, Healthcare, Prisons, and anything you can charge more for. Thanks you for all the screwing in the name of Capitalism. They call it the free markets, there nothing free about it. Should be called the Greedy Markets, and screw thy neighbor as much as possible.

“No charges, no evidence of wrongdoing and no explanation”

In see you are still full of shit Steve. All three of those claims are pure misinformation. She very clearly entered the country illegally and knew why she was detained.

Heck even her mother knew why

“Eagles said she acknowledges that her daughter "did not make a good decision, that she probably should not have tried to enter the States…. We don't deny that she was detained because of the way she tried to enter the States."”

But yet again I see you won’t let facts get in the way of your agenda.

I listened her her on Pod Save America. It was her longest interview and I just wanted to throw something. This makes all real Americans sick to their stomach.

My nation has turned to shit and if we can’t stop this madness, I might need to find some place else to live.

Our courts seem to be slanted in the right direction and some of our law firms are fighting back.

Bernie Sanders is getting huge crowds.

We will win back our nation.

If you are fortunate, leaving would be a good personal option. I have tried to go to Ukraine a couple of times. At the beginning of the war it was impossible to have a contact to have it legal to have a support system, per the American pressure to hinder. Recently I tried to go through an organization and was willing to cover my cost and to transfer my equipment (construction tools/equipment but I’m too old by the numbers.

So for now I’m stuck in this shithole of a country. If you have an option and means, it would be better than being here. I wish I was wrong but I don’t see enough americans actually physically fighting for democracy to save it.

Good luck Steve.

Yeah, it’s a private prison. More money for each transfer. A big cha Ching for them. No hurry to process because every day is money. No oversight so they don’t give a fuck about fucking around with everyone they can for as long as they can. Innocent or not they don’t care. It’s money money money and more money with our tax dollars that goes to the private corporate owned prisons. Isn’t that special.

Cheers 🥂
