Incredible thread. The level of in person community-building and mutual aid that came out Minneapolis is unprecedented in modern American times.

Judge orders Nazi-looted Modigliani linked to Panama Papers be returned to heirs - ICIJ The estate of a Jewish art dealer has won a decade-long court battle over a $25 million painting whose ownership was exposed by secret financial documents obtained by ICIJ and its media partners.

The estate of Oscar Stettiner, a British-born Jewish art dealer, has won a decade-long court battle over a $25 million painting whose ownership was exposed by secret financial documents obtained by ICIJ and its media partners.

The Netherlands has a terrible history of covering up Nazi looted art. It’s time to open all the archives and publish all the research and all the documents - not shift to yet another secretive organization/foundation/panel.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

What could POSSIBLY go wrong? Tune back in around turkey day to find out.

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

This is excellent and it brings up something I am noticing, especially amongst Xennial men: AI overuse*. It's like they are half drunk and are mad I won't drink the magic Kool-aid. It's cooking their brains and they are clueless.

Nope.

IDGAF.

You and the rest KNEW what you were doing. You CHOSE to ignore the mountains of red flags. You all DOUBLED DOWN on your hatred and only changed your tune when it impacted YOU.

Can anyone help please?

Grok lol

Why is it always the Harvard grads who have no fucking idea what they are talking about?

Here in Philadelphia, Uber, your friendly neighborhood monopolist, is blanketing the city with ads to stop a rideshare tax that would prevent cuts to 340 School District of Philadelphia teachers, reading and math specialists, counselors, and more.
