new CEO of the favourite #bank of both the #crypto industry as well as #GeorgeSantos was just arrested for child sex stuff and maybe even child slavery (“buying or selling of children” is allegedly among his charges).

Reminder that Evolve Bank & Trust was:

- george santos & andy ogles campaigns' bank
- #FTX debit card provider
- #synapse bankruptcy disaster banking partner
- hacked by #russia
- a venezuelan money laundry

and those are the confirmed offences. one assumes there are at least a few bodies that have not floated to the surface yet.

america is now a country where posting a screenshot of Donald Trump saying "we have to get over it" after the shooting of Charlie Kirk is now a crime that will get you a trip to jail with $2 million bail for "threats of mass violence".

A coalition of more than 240 pastors, Christian faith leaders, and faith-based nonprofit organizations across Tennessee have come together to oppose a bill that could allow public schools there to deny enrollment for migrant children without legal status. #tennessee #tnpol #tnpolitics #resist #resistance

#JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".

1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas

2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure

Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).

"La legislatura de Tennessee acaba de aprobar la ley SB6002/HB6001 que, entre otras cosas, "crea un delito grave de Clase E para: un funcionario gubernamental estatal o local que adopte o promulgue una política de santuario; o en su calidad de miembro de un órgano de gobierno de un gobierno local, vote afirmativamente para adoptar una política de santuario".

Sin embargo, no define explícitamente qué es una "política de santuario", ni tampoco las leyes a las que se refiere (hasta donde sé).

El Santuario de Elefantes de Tennessee es solo una organización benéfica que realiza un trabajo vital que marcó la casilla en su formulario 990 en 2023 de que es "una organización que normalmente recibe una parte sustancial de su apoyo de una unidad gubernamental".

Entonces... si el gobernador Bill Lee firma esto... ¿les quita fondos a ellos (y a otros santuarios)?

Las leyes mal intencionadas y mal redactadas son malas.

El gobernador Bill Lee debe vetar este proyecto de ley, probablemente no lo hará... porque odia a los elefantes. 😉 🐘

The Elephant Sanctuary In Tennessee is just one charity that does vital work that checked the box on their form 990 in 2023 that they are "an organization that normally receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit."

So...if Governor Bill Lee signs this... he pulls funding from them (and other sanctuaries)?

Badly intended, badly written laws are bad.

Governor Bill Lee needs to veto this bill, he probably won't... because he hates elephants. 😉 🐘

🧵 2/3

#TNpol #USpol

Tennessee's legislature just passed SB6002/HB6001 which among other things, "creates a Class E felony offense for: a state or local governmental official to adopt or enact a sanctuary policy; or in their capacity as a member of a governing body of a local government, vote in the affirmative to adopt a sanctuary policy."

However, it does not explicitly define what a "sanctuary policy" is, nor do the laws it refers to (as far as I can tell).

The TN Senate committee realizes that the Dear Leader is wise, strong, beautiful and good. His wisdom shall save us all. Anyone who denies that deserves prison, damnation and destruction. Dear Leader deserves to take anything he wants from you because he is Dear Leader. /s

MAGA Republicans are passing real laws based on baseless conspiracy theories instead of legislation to solve real problems.

In Tennessee, GOP legislators are yelling at clouds. It would be embarrassing if they were capable of shame.

In a joking response, a Democrat from Nashville introduced an amendment to protect fictional beasts, such as Bigfoot.
