Letitia James is being indicted for saving $50/month on a loan?

Gee, I wonder how much loan money Donald Trump saved when he got more than $270 million in debt forgiven after he failed to repay loans on his Chicago skyscraper development . . .

The grand jury indictment against New York AG Letitia James accuses her of receiving a lower-cost loan on a home she purchased.

James saved only about $50 a month with lower interest rate, the indictment alleges.

Gotta love the way @sarahkendzior.bsky.social wields words like a scythe: cutting through the BS while revealing fresh insight.

"People pay to bypass the wall and land in a gated community of Stepford Pundits. These pseudo-resisters prey on fear for profit: they are the regriftance."

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Dougie, why aren’t you repealing the Animals in Research Act too? You know, the law YOUR party enacted in 1990 which allows homeless “pets” to be sold to research facilities? www.ontario.ca/laws/statute...

WHY not ALL animals? 🤔

The final strategy does not define New Approach Methods (NAMs) to exclude vertebrate animal testing or prioritize replacement over refinement and reduction, nor does it commit to public progress reports or providing funding for NAMs

A very cruel bill that bypasses environmental assessments, public consultation, key wildlife protections, animal welfare laws and any basic logic or decency.

No public input. Very undemonstratic and unCanadian

Humans have already eliminated more than 70% of modern species, mostly in the last 200 years. IF the human species does not change how we live, the human species will end up eliminating the majority of the rest of modern species before the end of this century.

The animal ag lobby is extremely powerful & tied to big pharma. They receive huge subsidies, & are using the same tactics as tobacco did to sow doubt re health & environmental studies

Yup, the NYT literally hired a reporter to plant puff pieces on Epstein! The NYC/DC media abetted Epstein because they were from the same social circles, circles that apparently do not have a problem with child rape. A page from HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (it gets worse from there...)

Do you see the pretzel that dark money ties Dems up in?

The "feud" between the left and the libs is astroturfed by bot farms and paid shills.

It's divide and conquer.

Y'all understand that right?

Dems let Twitter get hijacked by fascists WHILE THEY WERE IN POWER.

What kind of party allows this?

Animal testing should be outlawed in all forms. Period. It’s bad science…wait…it’s not science at all, and there’s no justification for it. It’s really all about research grant money...no surprise there.

And one of the coolest things about Cirque du Soleil? All performers are humans and they’re performing voluntarily. No elephants being beaten with bull hooks, etc.

cm 🇨🇦 @cmcalgary.bsky.social · 1d

One of the cool things about Cirque Du Soleil is at the end of the show when everyone is coming out and doing bows, all of the stagehands and camera ppl come out too. It's great to see behind the scenes people being acknowledged. Doesn't happen very often in most scenarios.
