The Ugly Truth About Kamala Harris
Purpose In Time of Corona, DNA Sold to Highest Bidder, #FreeTianna, Beirut Explosion
The Execution of Elephants and Americans
The first person to receive the electric chair in America was not a person.
It was an elephant named Topsy, and honestly, I believe he was falsely convicted. But we’ll get back to that in a moment.
With a quarter million Americans either killed or seriously maimed by Covid-19 and a U.S. drone bomb being dropped overseas roughly every 12 minutes, President Donald Trump’s Justice Department recently thought to themselves, “You know what we need in this country? More killing. There aren’t enough murders going on.” I guess I can’t blame their logic. If you’re headed for hell anyway, why not make it worth it? Swing for the fences.

ICE Is Making Sure Migrant Kids Don’t Have COVID-19 — Then Expelling Them to “Prevent the Spread” of COVID-19
ProPublica | Dara Lind, Lomi Kriel
Since March, the Trump administration has pushed thousands of migrant children back to their home countries without legal screenings or protection, citing the risk that they could be carrying COVID-19 into the United States.
But by the time the children are boarded on planes home, they’ve already been tested for the virus — and proven not to have it.
Court documents, and information given by Immigration and Customs Enforcement to congressional staff last week, reveal that the Trump administration has agreed to test every child in its custody before sending them back to their home countries under the expulsion policy.

Corporate Landlords Have Gotten Government Aid. Tenants Haven’t.
The Appeal | Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg
The federal government has given millions of dollars to corporate landlords accused of inhumane eviction practices, poor maintenance of their buildings, and unfair rent increases.
These landlords received loans through the Paycheck Protection Program, billed as a means to help small businesses stay afloat during the pandemic. Borrowers don’t have to pay back the loan if it is used for payroll, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities.
But some of those companies were corporate landlords accused of mistreating their tenants. Chestnut Holdings of New York, Inc., Fairstead Management, LLC, and Langsam Property Services Corp. received PPP loans totaling between $3.35 million and $8 million, according to a ProPublica database of loan recipients. Landlords with the three companies were included on a list of New York City’s 20 most prolific evictors for 2019, compiled by the Right to Counsel NYC Coalition. The companies did not respond to requests for comment.

How the US helped push Lebanon to the brink of collapse, and now threatens more sanctions
The Grayzone | Ben Norton
As the people of Lebanon suffer through one of the worst economic crises in their nation’s conflict-ridden history, the Donald Trump administration is exploiting the disaster to force regime change and weaken Lebanese resistance groups.
A massive explosion on August 4 devastated Lebanon’s capital Beirut, killing more than 150 people, wounding thousands, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless, and ravaging a sizable chunk of the city.
The massive blast also destroyed Lebanon’s most important port, where 80 percent of food was imported into the country.
