#YourTaxDollarsAtWork : #California state prison site in #KernCounty is being converted into the state’s largest #immigration #detention center under a new contract between #ICE and #PrivatePrison operator #CoreCivic. 2,560-bed facility expands ICE carceral capacity in immigrant heavy state by 36%.

Since being shuttered by #GovNewsom as a state penal facility in 2024, remote #CaliforniaCity officials had bemoaned losing the jobs and $1 million per year in revenues from #sewage and water services.

Thumbs down to old mate and his pumper truck on the bike path. Two hours so far, 75-80dB according to the noise app on my phone. HiVis, but no hearing protection! They are endlessly sucking on a vape as they pump the drains. #yourtaxdollarsatwork

The only way this could be funnier (and by funnier I mean more insane and insulting and horrible) would have been if numbnutz the orange shit clown bought a swasticar and it caught fire in the white house driveway. That would have been more ridiculous, but only a little bit. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Well that was 7+ hours that should’ve been an email.

What’s worse is that the only meaningful thing to come out of the meeting was that it probably was a superspreader event. 100 people from across the state, many coughing, and only two of us wearing masks.

For today’s work adventure, I get to drive two hours each way to Sacramento to..:watch a three hour PowerPoint presentation. No remote options because <insert ever-changing lame excuses>. The state of California delude themselves into thinking they are an enlightened, progressive government but really they are just another dysfunctional organization stuck in the mid 20th century.
