For everybody who has basic morality and a sense for justice who want to abolish ICE or severely limit their funding or enforcement capabilities, you should know about the major corporations that are supplying the infrastructure that makes DHS n ICE function.
I have boycotted Amazon for a while now after they and Starbucks have committed heinous acts of union busting. And to act insult to injury, Amazon web services hosts the databases that store biometric and personal data for ICE. Microsoft provided coos and productivity systems that also support their daily operations. At&t supplies their telecommunications that keeps the agents connected in real time. Home Depot stores haven't condemned ICE for using their locations as an arresting depot!
We need to vote with our wallet in any way we can and demand that they stop helping ICE if they want our business. Boycotts work, vote with your wallet!!

Wisconsin Public Service Commission is proposing that rate payers in WI could pay up to 25% of new infrastructure costs for VLC's(Very Large Customers), and on top of that 100% of fuel costs would also be offloaded to WI residents. This is an incredible load of crap. The docket number is 6630-TE-113. Here is a link to the WI PSC website. https://apps.psc.wi.gov/APPS/dockets/content/detail.aspx?id=6630&case=TE&num=113
Public Comment closes today so if you are in WI please put a comment up on the website.
Also I would love to have BP cover this, though I don't know how to get this in front of them.
