EVENT: WOMEN’S MARCH WHEN: NOV. 6 WHERE: YOUR POLLING PLACE “With attention fixed on Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, the US House of Representatives passed a new $3.1 trillion tax cut on Friday. The vote was 220 to 191.” – Glenn Fleishman 09/18/18 Beware of Russian bots on full blast helping the GOP. 14 Amendment. Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the US, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the US, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the US, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. THE PRO-LIFE AND FAMILY VALUES REPUBLICAN PARTY: “Jim Jordan, Republican, is being accused by former wrestlers he coached more than two decades ago at Ohio State University of failing to stop the team doctor from molesting them and other students. The university announced in April that it was investigating accusations that Dr. Richard Strauss abused team members when he was the team doctor and Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at the university. Three former wrestlers said that it was common knowledge that Strauss showered regularly with the students and inappropriately touched them during appointments and said it would have been impossible for Jordan to be unaware; one wrestler said he told Jordan directly about the abuse.” – Corky Siemaszko 07/03/18. “According to Mike DiSabato, a former wrestler who has come forward with tales of sexual abuse by an Ohio State University Dr. Richard Strauss, told CNN host Brooke Baldwin that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) witnessed the doctor commit “lewd acts while showering with athletes when the lawmaker served as an assistant wrestling coach at the school.” – Tom Boggioni 07/04/18 The Trump administration has kidnapped 3,000 children; HOLDING THEM RANSOM IN ICE BOXES for $25B to build the wall. No paper trail linking kids and families. Many kids are pre-verbal. For-profit prisons paid $775/night per kid. “I REALLY DON’T CARE. DO YOU?” – Melania Trump “BuzzFeed News has found evidence that women in immigration detention are often denied adequate medical care, even when in dire need of it, are shackled around the stomach while being transported between facilities and have been physically and psychologically mistreated. Two weeks after arriving in the US seeking asylum, E, 23, found herself in a detention cell in San Luis, Arizona, bleeding profusely and begging for help from staff at the facility. She was 4 months pregnant and felt like she was losing her baby. ‘An official arrived and they said it was not a hospital and they weren’t doctors. They wouldn’t look after me,’ she told BuzzFeed News, speaking by phone from another detention center, Otay Mesa in San Diego. ‘I realized I was losing my son. It was his life that I was bleeding out. I was staining everything. I spent about eight days just lying down. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t do anything. I started crying and crying and crying.’” – Ema O'Connor, Nidhi Prakash 07/09/18 “PRIVATE PRISON COMPANY GEO GROUP GAVE GENEROUSLY TO TRUMP AND NOW HAS LUCRATIVE CONTRACT: Prisons company GEO Group asked Republicans to submit a law that could lead to immigrant children being indefinitely detained in its lucrative centers. Representatives John Raney, John Cyrier and Mark Keough—all Republicans—have authored legislation that allows immigration detention centers to obtain child care licenses.” - Mirren Gidda 05/11/17. “The GEO Group’s PAC and executives have given $32,900 to Republican Rep. John Culberson’s campaign this election cycle. GEO is also the top donor this cycle for Rep. Henry Cuellar, who received $32,400, and Republican Rep. John Carter, who received $31,600.” – Rachel Cohrs 06/21/18 “In his most recent statement of economic interests, the multi-millionaire Republican governor of Illinois Bruce Rauner disclosed earnings from a private equity fund that owns Correct Care Solutions, a for-profit health care provider that has millions of dollars in government contracts with jails and prisons across the country, including immigrant detention centers. Last year, Rauner was strongly criticized by conservatives for signing into law the Illinois Trust Act, a bill limiting local authorities’ role in enforcing immigration laws. During his first year in office, Rauner, who does not accept a state salary, reported $188 million in income, predominantly from investments. That figure, which covered 2015, was more than three times his income the year earlier, when he didn’t hold an elected office. For 2016, Rauner and his wife reported more than $91 million in state taxable income.” – Natasha Korecki 07/09/18 “Correct Care Solutions is a for profit group and one of just four immigrant family detention centers in the country whose work extends to places like Karnes County Residential Center in TX. Correct Care Solutions has a track record involving dozens of lawsuits alleging wide-ranging negligence. In 2017, Moody’s reported Correct Care held $1.2 billion in revenue and listed GTCR as among the company’s top co-investors. A county in Georgia dropped Correct Care following the deaths of five inmates in just more than two months. In Indiana, a county jail inmate was denied his cancer treatment. In Maine, the ACLU alleges an 11-year-old boy who has a mental illness, was beaten by local staff then denied medical care. Correct Care has a contract at the Karnes center in TXs, where immigrant families have complained they suffered cruelties during their detention.” – Natasha Korecki 07/09/18 “MVM, Inc. won an $8M 5-year contract to “provide assistance” in detention centers for unaccompanied children and has made $42.9M in less than a year, transporting minors to centers in Texas. MVM as well as the defense contractor General Dynamics are hiring new employees to oversee the dozens of detention centers for children who have been taken from their parents or guardians after crossing the border.” - Julia Conley “Southwest Key Programs Inc., is to be paid more than $458M in 2018 to run a detention and care system for immigrant children on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services. Southwest Key has about a dozen facilities in Texas, including a site at a former WalMart Inc. store in Brownsville that has drawn attention from members of Congress and national news organizations.” – Bloomberg “Staff working on the behalf of the Office of Refugee Resettlement are routinely drugging detained child migrants with psychotropics without their parents’ consent.” - Roque Planas. “Clonazepam is known as an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug, used to treat panic attacks. Side Effects: Drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, loss of coordination, increased saliva production; sudden changes in mood, thoughts, or behavior, including: confusion, memory problems, signs of depression, suicidal attempts, or thoughts about harming yourself.” - WebMD “Immigrant children locked up at a Virginia center say they were beaten, left naked in cells and strapped to chairs by guards. A 15-y.o. boy was slammed against the ground and the wall after an argument over holding a door open, another 15-y. o. was restrained to a chair with a bag over his head. “Kill yourself already,” one child was told by staff at Shenandoah.” – Christopher Brennan
