«A GoFundMe dedicated to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jonathan Ross has also drawn donations from big names such as billionaire Bill Ackmann, who put $10,000 toward the effort.»

Oh, look! It’s Bill Ackman!

Not sure how I got on this list, but it’s a view into the sh…tuff being promulgated.

Rev. Dr. Sadler will help us build a North Carolina where we can all afford to thrive.”»

Structural racism, anyone? Get it while it’s fresh! (Oh, btw, white people will pay more, too.)

«These facilities are overwhelmingly placed in non-white, low-income and rural communities, areas that have historically been treated as “sacrifice zones.” AI’s rapid expansion is on track to replicate a familiar pattern: Profits flow upward while pollution and costs fall hardest on those with the least political power.»

Not the chatterati, but average Joe In The Street.
