#mercnews #scam BEWARE!! The San Jose Mercury News auto-renews your physical newspaper subscription (now $2900/yr!) and it's UNCANCELLABLE and UNSTOPPABLE. They sent a renewal notice that never mentions your renewal date & the website doesn't say either. Was I supposed to guess my renewal date?

Anyone know a good place to report consumer scams? My local newspaper (the San Jose Mercury News) auto-renewed my subscription with a $1000+ increase (now $2900/yr!) and it's non-cancellable. They sent a notice about the renewal that never mentions the renewal date and the website doesn't either.

#scam My local paper, the San Jose Mercury News, has auto-renew NON-CANCELLABLE, UNSTOPPABLE subscriptions - which are >$2900/yr for physical delivery! They sent a letter that didn't mention a renewal date. Now I'm out $2900 for a newspaper I don't want. Please retweet so others don't get scammed!

I finally saw Hamilton on Broadway (yeah, I'm late on that), but there's a line in it about how the people will celebrate when the British finally leave - and I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to be in Manhattan when 'it' happens, to hear the cheers & join the celebration?". But it didn't happen...

PBS News Hour: U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents describe how they were treated. Watch the segment here www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMgC... I'm clipping transcripts of the citizens speaking in this thread 1/3
GEORGE RETES: “My name is George Retes. I was born and raised here in Ventura, California. I’m 26 years old and I am an Iraq combat veteran.

I was going to work like normal. I show up. ICE is there. There’s kind of like a roadblock. I get out. I identify myself — that I’m a U.S. citizen, that I’m just trying to get to work.

I’m trying to leave. I’m getting ready to leave and they surround my car, start banging on it, start shouting these contradictory orders.

Even though I was giving them no reason, they still felt the need to — one agent knelt on my back and another agent knelt on my neck. And during that time, I’m just pleading with them that I couldn’t breathe.

I was in isolation. I was in basically this concrete cell. I was stripped naked in like a hospital gown. And they leave the lights on 24/7.

They just came out and they said that I was violent and that I assaulted agents. Why lie when it’s on video of everything that happened? Why lie?”

Where are our "opposition leaders"? Here's how you can tell we don't have any. Let's do a thought exercise: if Trump decided to throw the main opposition leader out a window, Putin- style, who would it be? The fact that I can't come up with anyone is a sign there are no obvious leaders...

So we Americans can't directly recall a president, can't force new early elections, and can't immediately replace the representatives/senators that can remove him. So what do we do now? And where are our opposition leaders - not the politicians, that ones who will lead us to action of some kind?
