Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

You can't sensibly talk about 'love' or 'consciousness' without first defining what you're talking about.

Otherwise, it's like talking about 'things'.

An infant in New Mexico has just died from listeria.

Public health officials think it is because the mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.

I can imagine this family’s pain.
Please, please don’t drink raw milk. It is of no benefit whatsoever.
New Mexico warns against consuming raw milk after newborn dies from listeria
While the New Mexico Department of Health said it can't pinpoint the baby's exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother's drinking raw milk during pregnancy.

Quick round up:

- the government is covering up evidence the president is a pedophile
- he’s openly taking bribes from foreign governments
- his masked agents are shooting citizens in the streets
- the FBI is helping him steal the election
- he’s threatening war against multiple allies

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
