As tributes and tears continue for Dolly, I also think of Carl Dean, the man who stood silently, lovingly, and firmly behind her for 60 years. He helped her be who she was and give back so much. All of us should have someone like Carl in our corner, and we should be a Carl to someone as well.

Imagine the reaction if Joe Biden grifted billions in personal profit using a Biden Bank. It’s unthinkable corruption. Bank of Trump: “Nobody has to break a rule when you own the people who write them.” By @trumpsportfolio.bsky.social
Donald Trump Portfolio Tra... •
Follow
@TrumpsPortfolio

On Friday afternoon, a regulator Donald Trump appointed approved a bank Donald Trump's family owns, to issue a coin that makes Donald Trump money, under a law Donald Trump signed.
First time in American history.
Dropped at 4pm on a Friday, because they were counting on you not looking.
Here's what they buried:
The OCC — run by Trump appointee Jonathan Gould — granted World Liberty Trust Co. a national trust bank charter. World Liberty is 38% owned by "an entity affiliated with Donald
J. Trump and certain of his family members."
That's not my framing. That's on their website.
"It's just a trust charter, it can't take deposits.""It's just a trust charter, it can't take deposits." Correct. It doesn't need to. That's not the business.
The business is USD1, their stablecoin.
You hand them a dollar. They park it in Treasuries. They keep the interest. And under the GENIUS Act — signed by Trump in July 2025 — they're legally barred from passing that interest to you.
All house money.
Friday's charter lets them cut out their middleman and run issuance, custody, and reserves in-house. Fatter margins. Federal seal. Institutional clients.
Now ask where the dollars come from.A state-backed Abu Dhabi fund settled a $2
BILLION investment into Binance using USD1.
World Liberty told Congress the deal likely would've used foreign currency if USD1 hadn't existed.
Meaning: it was routed through the President's balance sheet on purpose.
As of February, Binance held 87% of every USD1 in existence.
Binance's founder was pardoned. By Donald
Trump.
Line it up:
→ He signed the law that built the market
→ He appointed the regulator
→ The regulator approved his family's bank
→ The bank prints the coin that pays him → A foreign government pumped $2B into it → It sits on an exchange whose founder he pardoned
→ The bank's board is chaired by the son of his Middle East envoyHe disclosed $57.4 million from World Liberty on one filing.
Elizabeth Warren: the first president in history to approve, operate, and supervise his own bank.
CREW: the most egregious example yet of the President's businesses profiting off his government job.
Democrats introduced the Ending Presidential Corruption in Banking Act the same day. It bans regulators from chartering banks owned by the president. It will not pass.
Watch who votes against it anyway.
The OCC says career staff handled the review and everyone met their ethical obligations.
Fine. Maybe every signature was clean.
That IS the story.

Nobody has to break a rule when you own the people who write them.

NEW: Women inside Delaney Hall have issued new demands over repression, violence, and forced transfer against hunger and labor strikers. They carry on earlier demands while calling for investigation: "Women report that they have made multiple complaints of sexual abuse against a female officer."
Dozens of women continue the relay of the labor and hunger strike saying,
sisters. We are people and we demand justice.
”
“We are mothers, daughters,
The strikers assert the following additional demands:
●
Release all the women, with priority given to women under the age of 21, women with medical
conditions, and mothers.
●
Initiate and carry to completion independent investigations of all allegations of abuse. Women
report that they have made multiple complaints of sexual abuse against a female officer.
●
Immediately restore all visitation privileges so that mothers, daughters, and family members can
maintain meaningful contact with their loved ones.
●
Expand access to legal representation and support. Many women detained at Delaney Hall face
complex immigration proceedings without attorneys or adequate legal assistance. Continued pro
bono legal representation is needed to ensure individuals have meaningful access to due process.
●
GEO must contract cleaning services, so that people are not threatened to do labor for the benefit
of a multibillion dollar corporation.GEO must immediately hire new qualified medical staff including nurses and doctors available
24/7 to respond to emergencies. Nurses mistreat people and give people incorrect medications,
medical attention is routinely denied.
GEO must immediately replace its current food supplier to meet basic nutritional and health
standards. This includes providing healthy high quality meals that accommodate medical,
religious, and dietary needs.
GEO must repair the plumbing and HV AC in particular the second bathroom in the women’s unit
and all bathrooms of the facility. In addition to ventilation, air conditioning/circulation, water
temperature controls, and drinking water systems
GEO must Provide safe drinking water. If safe drinking water cannot be guaranteed through
faucets and water fountains, then bottled water should be brought into the units and made
available through the commissary.
GEO is responsible for providing staff training, accountability systems and oversight, and
security personnel changes to ensure dignified treatment of detained people
On the day the strike started on Friday, May 22, over 52 women signed a letter detailing who exactly ICE
is detaining and what they are experiencing. The full letter can be read here: lahuelga.com/justiceSince the strikes began, with the striker’s determination and collective action, advocates have pointed to
several significant victories including: the release of a high school student, the release of all pregnant
women, the release of several people with medical conditions, a moderate investment in pro bono legal
services (DDDI) of $12 million dollars, lawsuits and inspections, national and international news
coverage, and more.
This effort is not unique to New Jersey as resistance against the civil and human rights abuse inside ICE
prisons spreads across the country, as does the support outside the prison walls.
