"USIP operates differently than Vera & other #nonprofits, which were NOT established by Congress & receive their funding from grants & #private donors."

This is the problem. Plus it violates the grants themselves to have the nonprofit become a part of the government.

Basically, they don't want any money to go to anyone but the billionaires. Making the world liveable for the rest of us is a waste.

Of course, we vastly outnumber them, but when does the tipping point happen?

Continued thread

Acc/to a transcript of the call provided by #Vera, Cavanaugh referenced the US Institute of Peace as an example of #DOGE assigning a team to an independent nonprofit. Last month DOGE took over & shut down #USIP, a 40-yr-old institution founded & funded by Congress that employs ~600 people in DC & abroad. USIP operates differently than Vera & other #nonprofits, which were NOT established by Congress & receive their funding from grants & #private donors.

Continued thread

The maker of the app he had used was #GeoGroup, the largest #private #prison operator in the #US. Over the past decade, the company has also built a lucrative side business of digital tools—including ankle monitors, smart watches & #tracking apps—to surveil immigrants on behalf of the federal govt.

Those products are now aiding #Trump’s #deportation efforts by providing the whereabouts of unauthorized immigrants to #ICE, acc/to legal aid groups & #immigration orgs.
