Hey, you don't owe me any explanation. I'm not trying to be contrary, just trying to provide a possible option for you if it works and making sure I was presenting it accurately.

Maybe it wasn't clear the way I said it-I've had no problem finding local partner banks/CUs to do in-person withdrawals or deposits. But if you need to do something other than that it might not work for you.

I bank with Alliant Credit Union. They're in IL and I live in CA, but I was able to open an account online. No monthly fee, can make deposits with partner credit unions across the country, no-fee ATM withdrawals through the Allpoint network, and they also do $20/month in ATM fee rebates.

More ICE commercials during AEW tonight, so here is the feedback form for TNT.

Attached is the feedback I gave as an example to spark ideas on what to say. I tend to try to come across as more reasonable in these things, but please put things in your own words that convey your own sincerity.

dear WBD, TNT, TBS, HBO max: AEW girlies (gender neutral) like death matches, found family cults, hot cowboys, ladies doing fun murder, conglomerating, enemies to lovers, and faction warfare. weโ€™re not joining ICE, weโ€™re joining the dark order. trash these fucking fascist ads. #AEWCollision ๐Ÿคผ

Ignore the fact that this is about a pro wrestling show. Everyone should let them know that airing ICE commercials is unacceptable AT ALL.

Please take a moment to submit feedback to these networks and let them know that.

Didn't see them either, but I'm guessing they're recruitment commercials, they're desperate for recruits.

Journalists, maybe, but Twitter and FaceBook are good examples. Both veered to the right, both nosedived in usage, particularly by young people.

I don't see most TikTok users having brand loyalty. Once it veers away from being "cool" (& it will w/ RW propaganda), they'll move on to the next thing.

(I know your post was about the GOP in DC, just supplementing that it's true outside of DC as well.)

Exit polling from 2024 showed that trans issues ranked 19th of 19 issues in people's voting decision.

The rank-and-file GOP don't care about trans healthcare and only mildly care about trans people in sports and bathrooms.

Don't really need numbers, just the fact that Kansas has elected three Dem governors this century (including the current one) to Texas's zero.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the filmโ€™s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, donโ€™t dream itโ€”be it!!

Late night TV is dying and his stock and visibility just rose considerably, so that might not be the worst thing for him.

If I were to try to make sense of this nonsense (the booking, not the reporting), I'd guess that this was the only way Brock would come back and they really wanted him back for the counterprogramming.

But seems highly disrespectful to do this to a guy on his retirement tour.

If that's true, that's actually dumber than the plan to run it back for Cena's retirement. What, you just kill the guy to no end and move on? Nobody needs that squash less than Brock Fucking Lesnar.

Mine's just the opposite, he thinks he's much fancier than he is! He's very full of himself.

People are celebrating this, and rightfully so. But it was reported that they wanted him to apologize as a condition for coming back. I want to see whether he does or not before I declare it a complete victory.

I have to disagree with this. Our democracy and stability as a nation are at risk, we need ANY allies we can get at this time.

They should be kept a close eye on, and it should be made clear frequently where our interests do and don't align, but we can't afford to refuse any assistance.
