  1. The binary was never biology.
    Chromosomes, hormones, and gonads vary across a spectrum, not a line.
    When law compels what nature does not define, it fails both science and the Constitution.

    Truth isn’t ideological—it’s simply overdue.

  2. Detention = ~$66k per person.
    ATDs = ~$6k.

    That’s 11 houses vs. 1 house — for nearly the same 92% appearance rate.

    GAO 2023; DHS 2021.

  3. Detention ≈ $66,000 per deportation.
    2025: GEO/CoreCivic profits spiked 56–73% on detention expansion.

    That money could fund family futures — but it fuels shareholders instead.

  4. ATDs keep people showing up for hearings at ~92% — nearly the same as detention.

    Cost per 1% attendance gain:
    • ATDs/counsel: ~$7–9M
    • Detention: ~$2.3–$5.0B

    That’s a 600–700× price gap. Like buying one house vs. buying a whole neighborhood — for the same 1% result.

  5. Community-based ATDs = 92%+ appearance rate at $4–$40/day (~$1.4k–$6k/yr).

    Detention = $150–165/day (~$66k/deportation). Improves attendance by only 0.01%–3.69%.

    Cost per 1% attendance gain:
    • Detention ≈ $2.3–$5.0B
    • Counsel/ATDs ≈ $7–$9M
    → 600–700× more efficient.

  6. $66,000 ≈ 13,200 ice cream sundaes 🍨
    Or one deportation.

    ATDs cost roughly $4–$40/day (≈$1.4k–$6k/yr) with very high appearance rates when paired with counsel/case mgmt. Detention runs ~$150–$165/day (≈$66k per deportation) and buys little marginal appearance improvement.

  7. $66,000 per deportation.

    ≈$6,000 for Alternatives to Detention (ATDs).

    Same or better hearing attendance rates. Billions in savings. Families protected.

  8. $66k = one deportation.
    $6k = Alternatives to Detention (ATDs), dignity, and futures kept together.

    Replacing detention with ATDs would save ~$16.8B annually.

  9. Detention = $66,000 per deportation (FY2026).
    ATDs = $3k–$6k, 92% effective.
    Why are we paying 10× more for worse results?

  10. The Detention Center Premium is real: $66k/deportation in FY2026 ($18.75B ÷ ~280k, TRAC 2025 [1]). Compare: 2016: $17.7k, 2024: $38k (GAO 2023 [2]). GEO/CoreCivic pocket $1.73B, yet conditions are inhumane—kids die, no beds (ACLU FOIA 2024 [3]). #MichiganDignityAct fights this. #DignityForAll #ShowYourWork

  11. On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their #freedom—two years after the #EmancipationProclamation. #Juneteenth is a reminder that #justice delayed is justice denied.

    Today, we honor the resilience of all who have fought for freedom. But we also recognize that the struggle is ongoing for #truefreedom: #economicjustice, #votingrights, #healthcare, #livingwages, and #dignityforall.

    "Early findings from the world’s largest #UBI study"

    "Both a large lump sum and a long-term UBI proved highly effective. The lump sum enabled big investments and the guarantee of 12 years of UBI encouraged savings and risk-taking."

  26. People say, “Just work hard and you’ll succeed.” But what if you’re sick? Disabled? A caregiver? A stay home mum? What if wages are too low, rent is too high, and everything is stacked against you?

    Hard work isn’t the problem - economic cruelty is. UBI doesn’t make people lazy. It makes life fairer.

    No one should be punished for existing. ❤️
