"speaking favorably about the Haitian immigrants he employs has come to this: death threats, a lockdown at his company and posters around town branding him a traitor for hiring immigrants" www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/u...

The lifelong Republican employs fewer Haitians than others in Springfield, but his life has been upended since Donald J. Trump spread falsehoods about immigrants in his hometown.

Partisanship is a helluva drug but Trump couldn’t hold onto 45% if not for media siloing. A huge chunk of his base will either never hear that he’s out there calling for a real-life Purge or will be told the press took it out of context or made it up completely. www.politico.com/news/2024/09...

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

Screenshot of PayPal's Terms of Service update, outlining their "personalized shopping" feature where they allow themselves the right to give info about you to other companies

"Someone discovered that an 18-wheeler wrecked during the storm was full of bottled water & dozens of people came to grab cases & hand out cases to others, until police officers arrived & shouted for them to leave. “You are stealing!” one shouted as the crowd dispersed."

Accepting hospitality tickets to events is one thing. Accepting £20k so your son had somewhere to study for his GCSEs is something else entirely. You can’t argue you represent the people when you benefit so richly from sitting above them.

No amount of shaming is too much. Sorry if that seems unkind, but whilst she’s getting up saying stuff like this, I’ll be fine with people calling it out.
