the question of Antifa's existence is not a "he said, she said," this is pretty easily checked BBC www.bbc.com/news/article...

screenshot of two grafs in the linked BBC article: Antifa has long been a target for Trump. In September he signed an executive order designating the loosely organised, far-left movement as a domestic terror organisation.

Critics of the designation have said that Antifa is an ideology, not an actual group with an organised leadership structure or membership, and that subscribing to a specific ideology is not a crime.

Florida's been gushing about the 1,000+ people moving to the state per day—without mentioning that almost 90% of that is from international migration, aka immigrants. (411K of 467K from July 23-24) Florida gained 64K people through domestic migration, less than the 67K Miami-Dade lost.

Tableau chart showing population trends for Miami-Dade county between 2010 and 2024. Shows that for 2024, Miami-Dade had a net migration of 64.2K people, from 7.9K births less deaths, 123.8 international and -67.4 domestic.

Texas judge defines ESG investing as "all the things I dislike about ESG" and "none of the things are actually ESG investing" from: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

A screenshot with a legal argument cited by Bloomberg Opinion:

It is important to be clear about what ESG investing actually is. The evidence and expert testimony revealed that an investment strategy assumes an ESG label when it is aimed at, in whole or in part, bringing about certain types of societal change. ...

Investing that aims to reduce material risks or increase return for the exclusive purpose of obtaining a financial benefit is not ESG investing. Consideration of material risk-and-return factors is no different than the standard investing process when both are focused on financial ends. ...

ESG investing is a strategy that considers or pursues a non-pecuniary interest as an end itself rather than as a means to some financial end.
