if your primary focus on the border right now is in increasing funding for the private prison system, what are you actually supporting? and, if your primary concern is reducing the amount of spending, what are you actually doing?

don't misunderstand me - i think a good faith application of the court order to advance the best interests of the child means that you have to feed them, as you're quickly moving to place them into foster care. the whole point of the argument i'm making is to advance the best interests of the child. it's even the actual name of the legal doctrine at work, which nobody seems to want you to know about. but, that doesn't reduce to increasing funding for the prison-industrial complex - it rather necessitates an attack on the foundations of the system, itself.

and, this is the thing about "progressives" - they consistently dress up these right-wing, status quo policies in this humanitarian language, to essentially trick you into advancing a corporatist agenda. and, they are taking incredible advantage of social media, and your naivete, in order to do this, right now.
