New York AG Letitia James tells ABC News that she's prepared to seize #Trump's buildings if he can't pay his $354 million civil fraud fine.
"If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets."
A convicted Ponzi schemer who had his 24-year sentence commuted by Trump has been indicted in what authorities say is his third investment scam.

Any sane person would see this as the necessary and logical path for the U.S. to have any hope of remaining a democracy. That there are so many who are willing to throw away every bit of progress we've made since the country's founding is equal parts astonishing and terrifying.
Still, we have to remember that those wanting to destroy democracy in the U.S. are not the majority. They are a very loud, very scary minority. So we need to make sure that everyone votes. That's the only way that we can keep working toward the ideals the country claims to stand for.

“Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.
The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.” Via Dr Steve Campbell from the other place

Billionaires funded anti-vaxx disinformation campaigns to bring humanity's scourges back again.
Vaccines doubled the human lifespan in a century and billionaires hate the elderly.

Billionaires want the 19th century, when people died at 45, dying still in the traces.
The real goal of billionaire-funded Social Security rhetoric is to prevent the public from drawing a connection between Social Security’s finances, the working-class retirement crisis, and the ludicrous amounts of wealth held by America’s billionaires.
