@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore 1/ I'm collecting information about federal expenditures on #ZeroTolerance and stumbled upon what appears to be an OMG about one of the 5 vendors identified by @hunterw (links to all sources will be included in this <thread>):
@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 2/ And it has to do with the *smallest* contract signed in Sep 2017, Dynamic Educational Systems a subsidiary of Exodyne in Phoenix AZ ($5.6 Million).

"Ralph A. Rockow founded Exodyne, Inc. in 1982 and also serves as its Chairman and CEO."
bloomberg.com/research/stock…
@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 3/ "Exodyne, Inc., provides a variety of services to gov'tal, civic, and private orgs. Through 3 subsidiary companies, Exodyne's business interests range from... Dept. of Labor to providing aviation and technical research services for the Dept. of Defense.
exodyne.com
@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 4/ And this happened at their corporate HQ on Jan 20, 2018😳:

@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 6/ Acronyms relating to the detention of asylum seekers:
DHS = Dept. of Homeland Security
ICE = Immigration and Customs Enforcement
HHS = Health & Human Service Dept.
ACF = Administration for Children & Families
ORR = Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) helps new populations
@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 7/ The detention process:
1. DHS/ICE detains asylum seeker at border
2. Detained immigrants are transferred to HHS custody
3. ACF is a division within HHS, and in turn ORR is a division within ACF

IOW, a minor asylum seeker goes through this process:
DHS/ICE 👉 HHS 👉ACF 👉ORR
@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 8/ ACF spokesman said the agency currently operates “100 shelters across 17 states.” but "declined to provide further details about the locations where the young migrants are being held" citing “the safety and security of children in the program.
@mike_dutoit @ThomasS4217 @traciemac_Bmore @hunterw 9/ The "Unincorporated Alien Child" program "has a fiscal 2018 budget of $1.3 billion. Companies are typically awarded contracts that act as an open purchase order, allowing requests from... HHS to be filled quickly until they reach their full amount."

@ThomasS4217 @SaysDana @ReflectingMan @soychicka @karolcummins @pleasesaveour @HiMaui 1/ I cast my vote for George Birnbaum.
"After having founded his university's [FL Institute of Technology] chapter of College Republicans & volunteering on several Congressional campaigns Birnbaum took his 1st paid position in a political campaign in 1992
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bi…
@ThomasS4217 @SaysDana @ReflectingMan @soychicka @karolcummins @pleasesaveour @HiMaui 2/ … signing onto Ohio Republican Congressman Bob McEwen’s reelection campaign. In the years following, he worked on more congressional races, including campaigns in North Carolina, Florida and Virginia." (more...)
@ThomasS4217 @SaysDana @ReflectingMan @soychicka @karolcummins @pleasesaveour @HiMaui 3/ After the 1998 cycle, Birnbaum consulted for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign. Birnbaum served as Netanyahu’s chief of staff for a year and a half. "In 2003, Birnbaum went into partnership with American conservative political consultant Arthur Finkelstein." (more..)

1/ Op-Ed author: "Henry Olsen is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of 'The Working Class Republican: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism'”
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/ Olsen opens his rebuttal against Romney's op-ed in praise of character:
"Let’s start with the article’s premise that President Trump’s character is more important than his accomplishments or principles. Most Republicans simply don’t accept this argument."🙄
3/ Basically this senior fellow at the *Ethics* and Public Policy Center (👋waves to Howard Dahl, Leonard Leo and Ed Whelan, ) is arguing that public policy has no need for *ethics.*🤔 #IOKIYAR GOP should be renamed MWORH (my way or the highway) or ZT (zero tolerance). /end

@WhiteHouse Your vicious HATE SPEECH @realDonaldTrump directed against @HillaryClinton George Soros, @BarackObama is incitement to violence. One of your Q anon followers started the biggest CA @R5_Fire_News @JerryBrownGov
Remember, we are accountable “forevery careless word we utter.” @realDonaldTrump @POTUS Ask Mike Huckabee whose words those are @PressSec
Hate crimes are federal offenses. Incitement to violence IS A CRIME
That applies to @POTUS too. NO ONE is ABOVE THE LAW Not @realDonaldTrump not @FoxNews Why did Fox have a countdown clock on holocaust survivor George Soros? @FBI @TheJusticeDept @NewYorkFBI

Friends, the law is a teacher and so is the way we enforce our laws. So what lessons are we teaching at our nation’s southern border? The pictures are dramatic and they fill you with sadness and anger. #ImmigrationCrisis #ZeroTolerance
Immigrant children — some barely old enough to walk, some infants still in their mothers’ arms — being torn away from their undocumented parents as they try to cross the border. More than 2,000 children have been seized by border authorities in the last six weeks alone.
Adding to the cruelty, in the large warehouses being used as child internment camps, strange rules have been imposed that prevent shelter workers from touching or holding the little children to comfort them. #ImmigrationCrisis #ZeroTolerance

1/ Thread: Here’s everything we know about immigrant children being separated from their families. #ZeroTolerance #separatingchildren #ImmigrantChildren trib.it/hE
2/ About 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the border, but the actual number is likely higher. trib.it/hE
3/ This comes after the Trump administration announced a “zero tolerance” policy. That means all adults crossing the border illegally will be prosecuted. Since children can't be sent to federal jail, kids who are detained are being separated from parents. trib.it/hE

One more quick word about implications of @USAGSessions #zerotolerance policy & how high level policy can affect parenting & childrearing, this one unrelated immigration:
A couple of weeks ago, my 8th grade daughter came home from school & told me about assembly they had about sexting. She's public school kid & school does this kind of thing from time to time.
But she's upset this time, really shaken by it. I was taken off guard too b/c school usually warns parents ahead of time. So she & sit down to talk.

One of the world's most remarkable ruined places is the sunken city of Thonis-Heracleion.

Once a thriving hub of the ancient world, the city was devastated by a series of environmental disasters, & now lies 6.5km off the coast in the blue waters of the Egyptian sea.
The story of its discovery began in 1933, when an RAF pilot flying off the coast of Alexandria reported a strange sight in the water.

He claimed to have seen massive ruined structures below the waves: buildings, squares & streets, a whole city lost beneath the ocean.
Divers set out to explore the spot, but they were unable to learn much or corroborate the sighting in the silty water of the Egyptian coast.

They found something, though: an enormous head of stone, larger than life, thought to be part of a statue depicting Alexander the Great.

(THREAD) Hey, want to know who ran the Clinton email investigation? Republicans. Want to know who's running the Trump-Russia investigation? Republicans. Want to know who's prolonging the Trump-Russia investigation? Republicans.

Please read and share if you want all the details.
2/ Special Counsel Bob Mueller is a lifelong Republican, and the man who oversees his work daily—Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein—is a lifelong Republican.

The Republican Rosenstein—who appointed the Republican Mueller—was himself appointed by a Republican: Donald Trump.
3/ When the Republican Trump appointed the Republican Rosenstein, top D.C. Republicans overwhelmingly approved the appointment.

And when the Republican Rosenstein appointed the Republican Mueller, top Republicans overwhelmingly—again—approved the Republican Rosenstein's choice.
