@Huntington_Bank Did u receive my DM about the fees?

[Mike Elk (Mike Elk on Bluesky - Moving There) @MikeElk]

@Huntington_Bank I’m a freelance journalist, whose sick, a freelance check showed up late. Other charges hit & I was billed hundred of dollars in overdraft fees.

All the money was replaced but now I can’t pay my rent due to the overdraft fees. Can someone help me?

@TradeUnionJake You’re a disgraced union official who gives union busting talks on anti-union podcasts & sites.

You’ve tried to use my reporting on union democracy to validate your narcissism. You don’t care about anyone but yourself.

You even pay Elon Musk for a blue check mark

USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Today is the 7th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Synagogue massacre, where 11 Jews were killed for their congregation's support of immigrant rights.

I look at what Jews from the synagogue are doing to honor their dead & stand up for immigrants' rights.
