You can't build a massive, multi-billion-dollar network of private detention camps and state-contracted prisons without a projected market that justifies the investment. Bodies in cells. They plan to fill every single bed and cot.

ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison

This is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment. She had a delay to her execution and the Supreme Court overruled it and said she could be killed. She survived TWO lethal injections and had to be transported to hospital. The death penalty must be abolished:

Tennessee inmate still alive after being administered two lethal injections, her lawyer says
Christa Pike, 50, was 18 when she murdered a classmate. She would be the first woman the state has executed in more than 200 years.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
