The way that the media is treating the Derek Chauvin trial as some sort of game or sports event really doesn’t sit right with me at all.
CNN and MSNBC have special commercials advertising their upcoming coverage. Fox occasionally has a ticker reminding people that the trial is coming. It’s just sick.
Are we really at the point where we’re making *things that haven’t even happened yet* a news cycle? Why the hell are Black people still treated like spectacles?
The Money Machine Media will stop at nothing to whore out everyday people (especially POC) to make a dollar and get clicks. Modern day freak shows.

I'm aware of some sort of operation in which thousands of credit/debit cards appear to have been co-opted to donate to @forensicnewsnet. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but relevant people are being notified. If you don't recognize a $2 charge to Forensic News, let me know.
Between Monday and Wednesday, we received ~2000 attempted donations of $2. All of these attempted donations were from offshore locations such as Costa Rica and Russia. We're investigating.
We just got bombed with 300 more attempted donations. Something extremely fishy is going on.

Breaking: Active shooter at the King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, CO. Multiple down.
Extremely disturbing live YouTube video (not from shooter) shows multiple shots fired, at least 3 people on the ground shot.
Not posting the video to give away positions of the officers. Pretty irresponsible of the photojournalist to be doing this.

I was parked outside an Asian-owned massage spa a couple weeks ago for like 30 minutes, checking email and responding to messages after I had an appointment at a neighboring business. An older man came out and told me that I needed to leave or else he would call the cops (thread)
At first I was offended and felt disrespected but after the recent events it made me rethink the experience.
It’s now clear that the insane increase in hate crimes against Asians is contributing to extreme fear within the community. To him, I was a guy parked outside of his business for a half an hour for no reason and it probably made them uncomfortable.

2020 collusion with Russia was so much worse than 2016 collusion with Russia.
In 2016, Trump’s team secretly met with lawyers, businessmen, and other cutouts for Russian intel. In 2020, Trump’s team met with active Russian intelligence agents in public and produced documentaries and books and interviews for the whole world to see.
In 2016, Trump Jr had one meeting with a Russian lawyer who said she had dirt on Clinton. In 2019/2020, Giuliani and Caputo flew all around the world meeting with known Russian intelligence officers who had troves of fake documents and testimonies framing Biden.

Here's @JackPosobiec interviewing Caputo about the documentary
OANN deleted the actual documentary sometime in 2020.

.@AaronParnas and I have contextualized some statements in this article /THREAD
First, we explained *why* banks flag adult entertainment businesses more often and how some in the industry find these behaviors to be burdensome and detrimental.
We also reiterated that the bulk of the complaints filed in these SARs are largely about Radvinsky's dealings within his own companies i.e. layering payments to other accounts owned by him, changing round-dollar amount transfers, etc. This is *not* primarily about paying models..
