Know who profits from ICE's cruelty. https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/ice-businesses-boycott-campaign/
Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.

If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Between totally avoidable CBS debacle and other deal fuckups (nice job losing Taylor Sheridan), this is getting ridiculous. It is already so non economic and Trump’s distraction is increasing while his power is declining, so Nepo Mogul needs get Big Daddy to overpay for this leaky yacht stat.
