He is the executive chair of Amentum, a company that provides engineering and technology to the USA’s army and nuclear programs. They operate the most test and training ranges of any contractor if their site is to be believed.

It appears they run the East Montana concentration camp, the largest in the USA. While much of the abuse, including sexual and physical abuse, occurred under the camp’s previous contractor, Acquisition Logistics, the ACLU has confirmed Amentum was WORKING AS SUBCONTRACTORS at the East Montana camp during this time. Amentum's current role as sole contractor from March onwards proves no less deadly, with 2 overdoses with the intent to commit suicide from inhumane conditions. Representative Escobar confirmed nothing has changed since Amentum’s takeover. Lawyers representing prisoners report being unable to reach their clients.

The following conditions are BY DESIGN, as "Guards tell people detained at Camp East Montana who complain about conditions that if they do not like the conditions, they should self-deport." Civil Detention Centers are not supposed to be punitive. This is only a civil detention center on paper. It is a concentration camp.

The ACLU lists: I already linked this but I'm doing it again bc if you read one source, it should be this one.

Medical neglect, including for people with pregnancies, diabetes, cancer, and HIV.

Severe beatings. One man was beaten to death for requesting his asthma medication.

solitary confinement

unclean water

Tuberculosis and Measles outbreaks

Limited to no sunlight

no or limited hygiene products

rotten food, not enough food, no special diets for medical conditions

SEXUAL ASSAULT

No ventilation in a DESERT leading to lung damage

Not enough toilets, overflow often, whole tent smells of urine and feces

No privacy to use said toilet

Threats and beatings for those that refuse to sign deportation papers, sometimes to places they are NOT FROM

No activities, punished for attempting to make art from recycled items like cracker boxes, can only practice own religion at guards' discretion

no dental care. This is likely universal across US concentration camps. Note Emmanuel Damas, the Haitian immigrant that died from a dental infection due to lack of care

Unable to receive legal representation if not already represented

LOCATED ON FORMER JAPANESE DETENTION CAMP BECAUSE TIME IS A FUCKING CIRCLE

Taylor Swift's guest is directly responsible for these. This is the LARGEST CONCENTRATION CAMP IN THE US, made to hold 5000 people. He's not just any ICE contractor he is the biggest and baddest. At least this will get people talking about just HOW bad this camp is.

This is the last ref for now (for Artfight)!

Rubi has been sitting on loose pieces of paper for a few weeks now, so here she is! Obviously she is the Nickyfied version of Rouge.

More about her below!

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Her name: “Rouge” is a type of red color, so I thought it’d be fun if Rubi’s name also reflected that. Her last name “Cutpurse” roughly translates to thief (don’t remember what language sadly) as a small nod to Rouge’s character/intentions in the games.

Her character/personality: while Rouge is very confident, scheming, and sneaky with her intentions, Rubi is not. Rubi is not a great liar like Rouge is, and she also lacks the confidence that Rouge has. Due to this, Rubi is very clear with her intentions and tries to pursue what she wants in the most honest way. Rouge is also not afraid to go after what she wants while Rubi hesitates. Something they both have in common though: how much they care for their loved ones, their sense of fashion (though different), and how cunning they are. Side note: Rubi has big dreams of becoming a fashion designer/makeup artist.

Her clothing style: if her look reminds you of Cher from the early 2000’s movie “Clueless”, then that isn’t a coincidence! Cher’s fashion was a very big inspiration for me when it came to designing Rubi’s clothes. I also thought Rubi (for lack of a better word) would be more covered up than Rouge. Rouge is not afraid to be sexy, and this isn’t just about her clothes. It’s about how she talks and conducts herself. It stems from a place of self-confidence that Rubi just doesn’t have (yet). And yes Rubi’s outfit does change often, and so does her eyeshadow to match.
