1. 20 were gunned down in an El Paso Walmart today.

The shooter reportedly posted an anti-immigrant manifesto on 8chan before the massacre

This is part of a pattern

2. The shooter in the Christchurch massacre, who killed 50, posted his manifesto to 8chan

The shooter in the Tree of Life massacre in Pittsburgh, who killed 11, posted his manifesto to 8chan

It's a breeding ground for white supremacist violence

3. How does 8chan stay in business? The man who operates 8chan, Jim Watkins, monetizes the site, in part, through @amazon

Amazon is aware of it & has done nothing

How many more people have to die before major corporations stop sending Watkins cash?

1. An abrupt decision by the Trump administration on October 3 left thousands of ICE detainees without access to vital medical care — a crisis that is ongoing — according to previously unreported ICE documents.

🧵

popular.info/p/exclusive-ho…
2. For 2 decades, the VA played a limited but essential role in ensuring that people in the custody of ICE received necessary medical care. When an ICE detainee needed medication or outside medical treatment, the VA processed the claims. ICE paid the VA to provide this service.
3. On October 3, the VA “abruptly and instantly terminated” its agreement w/ICE, according to partially redacted documents.

The termination left ICE with “no mechanism to provide prescribed medication” and unable to “pay for medically necessary off-site care.”

1. JD Vance dismissed Tuesday's election as “a couple of elections in blue states”

But there were contests nationwide, including in purple & red states

And voters everywhere rejected the MAGA agenda

Let's review

popular.info/p/six-election…
2. In Bucks County — Pennsylvania’s largest swing county, which Trump narrowly won in 2024 — Democrat Danny Ceisler was elected county sheriff after the Republican incumbent signed a deal to collaborate with ICE earlier this year.
3. In Texas’s third-largest school district, progressives won all three open board seats, giving them a 4-3 majority.

Over the last year, the incumbent board removed textbook chapters on vaccines, COVID and climate change, banned library books, and fired half of the librarians.

1. Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency.

Most people are probably not even AWARE of all three scandals.

🧵

2. On Thursday, Trump pardoned Binance’s founder, CZ, who pled guilty in November 2023 to willfully violating anti-money laundering laws

CZ's actions “allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers” through Binance.
3. Trump's pardon for CZ came after Binance structured a $2 billion investment with USD1, a Trump-backed cryptocurrency.

The transaction is expected to result in tens of millions of annual profits for Trump and his family.

1. Here are some facts about the guy, Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million so Trump could pay the troops during the government shutdown.

🧵

2. In his self-published 2015 autobiography, Mellon writes that Black people have become "even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations" after social safety net programs were expanded in the 1960s and 1970s.
3. Mellon derided programs intended to lift people out of poverty as "Slavery Redux." Mellon claimed that in exchange for "delivering their votes in the Federal Elections, they are awarded with yet more and more freebies: food stamps, cell phones, WIC payments, Obamacare, and on, and on, and on"

1. The Trump administration quietly DOUBLED the bailout of Argentina from $20 BILLION to $40 BILLION

Here is what is really happening

popular.info/p/update-taxpa…
2. The first $20 billion of the bailout is straightforward. The US is sending $20 billion to the central bank of Argentina in exchange for Argentine Pesos. This part of the bailout is not working out well. The Argentine Peso hit a record low yesterday. Image
3. But Bessent also announced a SECOND $20 billion bailout financed by PRIVATE BANKS. This never made any sense. Banks have not lent money to Argentina for years because it is one of the most heavily indebted nations in the world.
