A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection. Just appalling.

While it seems true that the Chehalis Tribe does own the land and the billboard, the supposed image of the billboard is apparently fake. This post should be corrected, or removed entirely.

Look at this photo we found from Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish Bahamas wedding. Can you spot the Russian oligarch close to Putin who bankrolled the event? 🧵
A group photo shows about 35 people, including Donald Trump Jr.; his wife, Bettina Anderson; Ivanka Trump; Jared Kushner; Tiffany Trump; and Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev.

@netflix.com should take all these fantastic and fearless journalists and create a news arm. With CNN up next for the integrity dissection, Netflix could create a world class, worldwide news stream with global reach on their global platform. If you agree, share this. If you don't, that's cool too.

Dear REI mgmt & directors. Do you realize how excited co-op members would be if you were unabashedly Pro-union? I would always visit REI ahead of the competition. Customers would ask, “if REI is pro-union, why aren’t other retailers?” This would revitalize your brand & excite co-op members.

Screenshot of ProPublica story that reads “Newby declined multiple interview requests from ProPublica and even had a reporter escorted out of a judicial conference to avoid questions. He also did not answer detailed written questions. The court system’s communications director and media team did not respond to multiple requests for comment or detailed written questions.
When ProPublica emailed questions to Newby’s daughter, the North Carolina Republican Party’s communications director, Matt Mercer, responded, writing that ProPublica was waging a “jihad” against “NC Republicans,” which would “not be met with dignifying any comments whatsoever.” 
“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration and I’m sure they would be interested in this matter,” Mercer said in his email. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” “
