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."

Iran, a country whose military we’ve supposedly “destroyed,” was able to shoot down a U.S. Apache helicopter during a “ceasefire,” in the middle of a war that Americans have been told is not a war, while also being told it’s only “two days” from ending. Does any of this make sense?
