    There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone.....

    A day after the officer who shot Breonna Taylor wasn’t indicted, Facebook employees face disciplinary action if they acknowledge her in a profile pic. Workers of color are LIVID over the new no political profile policy — especially cause Zuck said it was about protecting them.

    An Amazon worker in Spain told me and @greene that there were two confirmed COVID cases in his warehouse and they believed the workplace was a hotspot. Instead of quarantining the workers, Amazon effectively told them to use more sanitizer.

    NEW: For months now I’ve been working on a big story about Peter Thiel. What started as a piece about why he left Facebook morphed into an examination of his ambitions to be an architect of the new American right. Lots of new reporting here.
