We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.
We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.
The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.
Isn't the entire fucking point of voting in this progressive block to stop shit like this?
Why do cities have to fund stadiums? Is Johnson looking to host the fucking Olympics here too?

I remember we got a new Central American priest at our Mexican parish.
This was after years of a Irish-American priest (beloved by the parishioners).
Homeboy said saints and the Virgin were not replacements for God and you could hear the cloud of tension cover the room.
normie Catholic apologist, sobbing: "Catholics don't worship saints"
elderly Spanish peasant: "If we stop leaving offerings at the shrine our local patron, St. Raimundo the Jew Smasher, our crops will die and the modernist heretics will prevail."
Some famous professor in Geneva, New York wrote an article, duly published by Verso, as to why killing civilians is great & how she was so excited about 10/7.
What else is new? For these bored folks, we, the people of Middle East, only exist as subjects of their fantasies
I'm Chicago at least, Saturday morning radio used to be the best. Tried listening after years:
- "and, I just have to sit with that inner child for a moment",
An hour later, tried again:
- "it's that indigenous spirit that comes into play"
Was it always this way?
"A disgraced education 'guru' and reality TV star, who vanished from Britain after becoming embroiled in a string of financial scandals."
That's how The Independent described California “math equity” policy consultant Yolande Beckles — a woman who left her native U.K. with 19 standing court judgements levying almost £70,000 in fines at her defunct businesses and a front-page exposé revealing that she had defrauded underprivileged schoolkids of £12,000.
Now over a decade later, Beckles has infiltrated the education policymaking establishment in California, having consulted for the new math framework that recommends against teaching most gifted middle schoolers algebra at SFUSD public schools.
She’s currently serving as vice chair of LAUSD’s Parent Advisory Committee, and is set to give a webinar at Stanford next month with Jo Boaler, the Stanford professor who is arguably most responsible for California’s ‘equitable’ math curriculum recommendations.

@melissajenna The best employees I've ever hired were college drop-outs and community college graduates.
The worst are almost always people with masters.
The former population are coachable, they respond to and learn from mistakes. The latter look for any other reason why it's not them.
We always find a way to fight ourselves.
The same flames that drive us deprive us of the air we breath.
Maderistas vs. zapatistas
Cristeros vs. El gobierno
Emos vs. punks
I genuinely feel like Dragon Ball kept an innumerable number of Latino/Black boys out of the streets.
All the black and Mexican weebs I knew growing up had something else besides the street to look up to.
Goku failed constantly but persevered, kids learn lessons from that.
Backscratch is the male equivalent of a footrub.
If my wife touched my feet I'd recoil and check to see if I was medically injured without realizing it.
holy shit my local vegan grocery store has accidentally been buying “vegan and gluten free” donuts from a vendor that turned out to be a woman reselling Dunkin Donuts 💀
As a fat youth, I had to rely on humor and intelligence brokering over anything else. I loved gossiping.
It sucks that my friends are successful, stable and healthy.
I ache for the days of a decaying polycule, messy weekend hookups or navigating terse lesbian situationships.
It was middle of the road at best.
It was a fun-ish distraction that flubbed the landing hard. Not as awful as some ppl claim, but I can see where the awful claims come from.
I have no idea how people think this "saved the series".
What does HBO have on these people?
