More than a year after I published the list of pension funds that are complicit in the migrant abuse crisis, highly regarded investor publication, @barronsonline, highlights @NYSTRS’ investments in #MigrantAbuseCos CoreCivic & GEO Group.

From June 2018 on @NYSTRS’ investments in GEO Group:

There's an important detail in this article that's important 2 explain:

1 of the main excuses NYSTRS, Oregon PERS, & others have tried to use to claim that divestment isn't possible is that their investments in CoreCivic & GEO Group are in passive portfolios (ie index funds) 1/3
Index investing is like picking up a bag of groceries rather than choosing individual items yourself. With true index investing, you can't pick and choose; you're getting everything in the bag.

But that's not quite what these pensions are doing. 2/3
Pension funds like CalPERS, NYSTRS, & Oregon PERS are TRACKING the index, meaning they're looking at what's in that grocery bag & trying to pick out the same items.

Why's this important? It means that they actually have ultimate control over what they're investing in. 3/3

In a Dec ‘18 interview, CA State Controller & CalSTRS/CalPERS board member @BettyYeeforCA argued against divestment from for-profit prisons [CoreCivic & GEO Group] b/c “none of the facilities that [the pensions] are involved in are in the practice of detaining migrants.”
Yes, you read that correctly. @BettyYeeforCA actually tried to claim that CoreCivic & GEO Group “aren’t involved in the practice of detaining migrants.” The two companies are, in fact, responsible for detaining nearly 70% of all migrants in US custody. institutional-allocator.com/cal-states-con…
Given that @BettyYeeforCA made this statement after @Edu4MigrJustice presented the facts and info to her multiple times during public comment at CalSTRS & CalPERS’ board meetings, it raises serious concerns about potential breach of fiduciary duty.

.@SenFeinstein notes that Wray sounded the alarm about Russian interference in 2018 as a "dress rehearsal" for 2020. You can read about that interference in the DOJ's indictment of Elena Khusyaynova, a Russian operative in those efforts:

@SenFeinstein Senator Mike Lee is dredging up old conspiracy theories about bias within the FBI impacting the Russia investigation—more than a year after a report from the DOJ's inspector general found that there was no such impact.

As cities across the country try to save lives and shelter the homeless this weekend during the #PolarVortex, can we please talk about how homelessness is a policy failure?
There has been EXTENSIVE research about the best way to fight homelessness.

The research TELLS US how to solve it!

It's an approach called "Housing First."

hudexchange.info/resources/docu…
You don't wait for someone to get sober before you get them a place to stay.

You don't wait for them to get a job.

You house them FIRST.

No preconditions, no barriers to entry.

This is what the RESEARCH tells us.

1. Inside First

While it's okay to make SHORT-TERM sacrifices in health to get ahead when you're young,

Make your health your priority.

It affects LITERALLY EVERY other aspect of your life.

In everything that you do, YOU are the common denominator.

So treat yourself well
1a. Sleep

You hear about it so often because it REALLY is that important.

Enough sleep reduces/prevents virtually every illness, more energy, less weight, stable mood, etc.

Not enough is the opposite.
