Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

If you didn’t like Flanagan’s Carrie, to each their own, I just don’t know what you would want out of a contemporary adaptation of horror classics generally.

@themikerobles.bsky.social once again recommending the best horror picks. Started watching #Carrie and didn’t stop till it was done. Such a triumph of a show. The Flanagan troupe are all so on point in this once, and the kids blew me away. Ending surprised me, in the best way.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

reading this made me cry. i'm normal!!! labour protections are a beautiful act of human love & care!!!!! the establishment of any union is a boon for future unions. companies that can unionise doing so of their own volition helps set precedent & pressure for future efforts outside of themselves 🖤
What differs in RRD’s case is the issue that precipitated this push: there was none. Lithgow told Rascal that this is a proactive measure to preserve what she and her coworkers feel is a charmed, healthy environment from future spoilage. “As a whole, we’re a progressive team with a unified belief in strong workers rights,” she said. “We already had some amazing benefits in our contracts, such as flexible working hours, an Employee Assistance Programs that provides free confidential counselling, and even allowance for taking protest leave days! Establishing our union was done with the mentality of ‘fix the roof while it’s sunny’.”

She continued by saying that it’s “tragic” when workers only think to organize in response to abuse or malfeasance from leadership, conditions that make the long, complex process of unionization all the more difficult. She believes this pattern perpetuates the “ugly stereotype” that unions are “a negative reaction to poor working conditions, instead of a positive and preventative act of worker solidarity.”

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
