I listened to this episode of @inthemeanwhile.bsky.social twice with journalist @timschwab.bsky.social who has followed, investigated, and written about Bill Gates for years. High pt, when Marcus says, "Tax scholars say that for every dollar of philanthropy donated .74 would have been pd as tax."

Oh and I had somehow missed the new podcast, so I have some catching up to do: @inthemeanwhile.bsky.social Marcus had spoken to us in 2020 last and I've been following much of his work since. He's one of the most important local voices in my opinion. Also see @soseaemerald.bsky.social

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Washington state’s Department of Licensing continues to share vehicle data with federal immigration authorities, despite state laws prohibiting it, thru a national law enforcement platform called Nlets. I explain this practice here, how it fuels racial profiling, & why it can & should be stopped.

Worth remembering, as Trump tries to brutalize blue states over alleged TANF fraud: Mississippi's former welfare director ran TANF as a private slush fund, routing tens of millions to churches, wrestlers, and celebrity pet projects (including Brett Favre's)—while rejecting over 90% of poor families.

The first time I posted about this distinction was many months ago, it remains important, most "journalists" still refuse to make the distinction: Trump hasn't removed Lisa Cook, he's pretended to. He lacks the legal authority to fire a fed governor.
