"This non-ruling will go down in history as one of the most shameful and horrific rulings from the Supreme Court. We’re talking Dred Scott/Plessy v. Ferguson/Korematsu bad. An obviously horrific decision that attacks human rights and basic due process for no reason… and totally without explanation."

ICE holds record 59,000 immigrant detainees, nearly half with no criminal record.

On Monday, June 23, ICE's detention level was — on paper at least — at over 140% capacity, since Congress last allocated 41,500 detainee beds for the agency, the figures show.

Since #tRump took power...

America has become a dictatorship,

We are now a borderline 3rd world country.

No more elections will be next,

Then followed by mass slavery.

The significant reason why the US can get away with so much is reserve status of the US dollar. In the west, we often don’t grasp just how big the continent of Africa is. It is a landmass that is as large as the United States, India, China, and Europe and then some.

The nations of Africa are moving away from the dollar, which is a matter of economic viability.

“The federal agency tasked with helping military family members gain legal status now refers them for deportation.”

This madness, this cruelty, must be stopped. So many ruined lives.

A friend would like to transfer her 401(k) so as to take her money away from big evil companies, but she doesn’t know what other options there are. I cashed out my 401(k) under the same reasoning years ago but put it toward adventures and other good causes and am cultivating community as an interconnected retirement safety net (although I’m curious about investment, too, in case a big chunk of money ever comes along). I offered to put the question forth here, because if anyone knows where to keep retirement money away from big evil corporations, they’d be on Mastodon. So . . . with the understanding that society can collapse and whatnot, in which case all bets are off, where can people safely and ethically keep their retirement savings in the US?
