Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure
ABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
I am worn thin this week. My daughter’s house and barn has flooded twice in as many weeks, and my cousin had a kitchen fire that made her house toxic to go back to due to chemicals and old infrastructure. My friend went to Bethel Woods and shared this. This will be me retaining one sq. Ft
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
The US just put tariffs on most of the other countries in the world, the legal justification being a law permitting tariffs on countries insufficiently policing the use of slave labor.
The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
I love how they forced us to get a REAL ID only to tell us a REAL ID is insufficient proof of identity to vote in the upcoming election. Bitches, we are done with the red tape.

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo
She left her ex. He secretly tracked her through a network of policing cameras.

happy bday a fav. James Baldwin, b.1924. "Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within." "You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read." "Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.”
We are so clearly in 25th Amendment territory. How bad does it have to get? This is the man in charge of an escalating war starving the world of its oil?
... Walz then posted: "Trump can't beat Iran because he's too busy waging war with Minnesota." ... Journalist Aaron Rupar: "Just incredible to watch the US president take Iran's side when my state's water systems are under attack! I agree 🤬 I hate Trump and his wars to cause more wars.
I wonder what corporate America will do when the majority of the country stops buying? At the rate we’re going this could actually happen. We had a 4th of July where no one in my neighborhood grilled. Thrifting is replacing new. People are gauging how long they can go without buying groceries.

New research suggests data centers have an alarming and overlooked environmental impact: heat pollution. CNN's Laura Paddison reports.
The answer to "why does everything suck now" almost ALWAYS goes back to "venture capital." Which goes back to "a lot of people have too much money and don't know what to do with it." Which goes back to: "We need to tax rich people more." It's like it's the solution to 99% of our problems!!
If someone cornered you at a cocktail party and said something like this, you wouldn't just try to get away from them. You'd bounce from the whole event because wtf. But elected Republicans get up every day and say unhinged stuff like this in Congress and I honestly do not know how to unfuck this.
