I keep telling people.

Only one party cares about hypocrisy. And it ain't the fucking Republicans.

How the fuck are they getting email addresses? This is rife for abuse but I suppose that's the point.

This part is chilling:

Anderson has been carrying her U.S. passport on her at all times since receiving the email and is seeking an immigration attorney.

There was a news report of another citizen who carried their passport but ICE confiscated it saying it was fake.

Republicans take a second oath:

"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

From your links:

Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

Original indictment:

These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

Make it make sense

"Not world changing" is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

Carl Icahn

From his wiki:

In the 1980s, Icahn developed a reputation as a "corporate raider" after profiting from the hostile takeover and asset stripping of Trans World Airlines.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

My biggest issue with meat substitutes is that I'm allergic to soy. Pea protein products often use beets which I'm also allergic to.

I really want to try them but it's usually one of those two ingredients that stop me.

Pumfu though, is great as is lion's mane mushroom crumble. These have helped me go meatless Mondays. They are pricey though.

There have been attempts at an Article 5 Convention but often doesn't get enough traction.

At this point, a civil war is far more likely than a constitutional amendment passing.

Amazing! I'm not blind but often use accessibility features that make my life easier (e.g. speech to text on my phone has been a godsend!).

Accessibility matters to everyone.

Like they pay taxes.

More accurately, "We need to stop these poors and working class from taking money the government can give to us instead!"

Which....is absolutely wild. The government should absolutely be funding vulnerability research. If anything so that they can exploit them.

But I suspect they are taking the corporate approach. The foundation is going to do the research anyway and publish it widely. Just take advantage while adding nothing of value in return.

God I hate this fucking timeline.

History books and the US Government likes MLK better than Malcom X because MLK didn't advocate violence against the ruling class.

Bearing in that the FBI literally tried to discredit MLK and have whitewashed their involvement.
