Max KennerlyThis is a classic slush fund, little more than a bribe to a Supreme Court Justice funneled through his spouse funneled to her through a dark money entity funneled to it by anonymous donors.

Activist group led by Ginni Thomas received nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations
Funding for the group led by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's wife was channeled through a right-wing think tank, an arrangement that effectively shielded key operational details from public view, a Post investigation found.
ryan cooper"In the year after the bike lanes arrived, businesses on Skillman saw sales rise by 12 percent, compared to 3 percent for Queens in general. What’s more, that section of road saw new businesses open, while Queens overall had a net loss.
The thing is, the actual merchants along Skillman? They didn’t believe it." https://www.wired.com/story/the-battle-over-bike-lanes-needs-a-mindset-shift/

mtswIt's kind of amazing that AOL mailed out literally a billion CDs over like a 5 year period to the point they were locust-plague ubiquitous, and then literally all the discs were thrown away and completely vanished into landfills. It's probably been 15 years since I've seen one.
It's Going DownThe #LAPD is sending out emails asking people to be on the lookout for "large groups" and "ANTIFA members."
Its notable here that 'antifa' - short for antifascist, is capitalized, a styling that is literally only used by the far-Right, reactionary news outlets like Fox News, and online chuds.
The culture of the police is not neutral - nor is it representative of the communities it polices over - it is awash in far-Right conspiracy theories, talking points, and reactionary, racist politics.
Paris MarxWait, so you’re telling me that AIs trained on real humans’ writing just end up being plagiarism machines, spitting that work back out with some rephrasing and no credit? I’m shocked!
Great work by @jonchristian on this story:
Theory I have but can't prove is that a huge number of accidental gun deaths and suicides are murders that the cops are just too lazy to investigate https://people.com/human-interest/dog-shoots-kills-owner-freak-hunting-accident-kansas/
Fascist grifter Andy Ngo is openly sharing content from a neo-Nazi Telegram channel, the William McKinley Institute (WMI), in an attempt to doxx #StopCopCity protesters, reports @AtlantaAntifa.
The WMI includes, according to @AtlantaAntifa, current #Atlanta resident Nathan Damigo, one of former leaders of the neo-Nazi group Identity Evropa, and a key organizer of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlotttesville.
The WMI states that it is “at odds with the Jewish values that dominate our civilization" and even calls Andy Ngo a "degenerate" for being an openly gay person of color.
Seems Andy is once again only happy to boost the same people who would murder him and his entire family, if it means he can hurt 'ANTIFA.'
