UPDATE: Following my report in popular.info yesterday, @Amazon has stopped hosting a fundraising page for Gab, a fringe social media site that caters of white supremacists buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanma…
@amazon This is the power of independent, accountability journalism.

It's why Popular Information has no advertisers and no wealthy donors.

Amazon is an $875 billion company, but reporting can still make a difference

@amazon UPDATE 2: @getongab is not happy with me or popular.info
ALSO: As I reported today in popular.info the Republican candidate for North Carolina's 9th district (Special Election September 10) is an INVESTOR in Gab

BTW: I learned of @Amazon hosting Gab through a tip by one of my readers. Then confirmed it after I put out an open call for people familiar with how AWS worked. This is people-powered journalism.

Also: Send me tips. I love tips.

1. On March 20, 2003, President George W. Bush began the bombing campaign in Iraq, justifying the attack with manipulated and bogus intelligence.

Twenty-two years later, history is repeating itself.

Let's review the facts.
2. The clear judgment of U.S. intelligence is that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Khamenei has not authorized a nuclear weapons program

DNI Tulsi Gabbard said this explicitly and publicly in March

3. Last Tuesday, asked about Gabbard's testimony on Iran, Trump said, "I don't care what she said."

On Friday, Trump said "my intelligence community is wrong."

Now, to justify the bombing of Iran, top members of the Trump administration claim Iran is actively pursuing a nuclear weapon.

1. @amazon, @Verizon, and other major corporations have ended or reduced their support for Juneteenth celebrations this year, forcing events in major cities to be significantly scaled back, a Popular Information investigation reveals.
2. In Denver, the annual Juneteenth Music Festival was cut from two days to one day due to "a sharp decline in corporate sponsorships."

An archived version of the festival website reveals that @Verizon, a "Silver" sponsor of the 2024 event, was not listed as a sponsor this year.

@amazon @Verizon 3. Last month, @Verizon told FCC Chairman Brendan Carr that the company was "ending its DEI-related policies…effective immediately." It was part of @Verizon's effort to win approval from the FCC to acquire Frontier Communications, a broadband tech company, for $20 billion.

1. In 2024, Trump said he would deport every undocumented immigrant in the country. "I think you have to do it," Trump said. "They came in illegally."

He said "illegals" were "poisoning the blood of our country."

Then, for a few days, he abruptly reversed course.

Why? Let's follow the money
2. In a Truth Social post last week, Trump said his "very aggressive policy on immigration" was taking "very good, long time workers" away from the agricultural and hospitality industries. These workers, Trump said, are "almost impossible to replace." Therefore, "Changes are coming!

1. Starlink is turbocharging the operations of a lethal jihadist group operating in West Africa, JNIM

Elon Musk has the capability to limit or prevent the use of Starlink by groups like JNIM but has chosen not to, instead prioritizing growth
2. Before Starlink, JNIM often relied on couriers and paper maps.

Now, JNIM is "using real-time maps, encrypted messaging platforms, and even live streams to plan and secure attacks with incredible coordination," Dr. Obasesam Okoi told Musk Watch.

1. In an extraordinary public flogging, the Florida State Board of Education repeatedly threatened a school superintendent with criminal prosecution unless he removed a Judy Blume book from all library shelves.

One member called the district librarians "child abusers."
2. The State Board summarily declared that Judy Blume's Forever and 54 other works of literature were "pornography," even though none of the books met the legal definition of pornographic material.

Many of the targeted books are award-winning literature that have been read by students for years.

3. Florida Education Secretary Manny Diaz warned the superintendent, Hillsborough County's Van Ayres, that any district official who was "complicit" in allowing these allegedly "pornographic" books in libraries would be subject to criminal prosecution by the State Attorney General.
