#statements

1 post1 participant0 posts today

Barrón-López: I spoke with lawyers for #deported U.S. Citizen children who claim the administration's #statements are false. They argue that the mothers couldn't access legal counsel, despite multiple legal custodians ready to care for the children in the U.S. One child was deported within 24 hours, others in three days, without legal consultation.

Dear #websites that produce #statements (#banks, #insurance, #investment companies, looking at you):

When people need to download statements, usually they need to download more than one. The following are #bullshit:

1. each statement opens in a new window/tab (let me decide that pls)
2. each statement _re-uses_ the SAME window/tab (you suck x10)
3. each statement (in its own window) is called `statement.pdf` y no 6801?
4. no "Download all" or "all on this page" option.
5. PDF only :(

Continued thread

#Bender’s failure to complain about the #statements of #financial condition & #valuation methods doesn’t mean those valuations & statements they were presented were reasonable. It just shows that Bender@& #Mazars were sloppy, if not financially beholden to the #TrumpOrg.

Yes Mazars had access to data that banks & lenders didn’t, but the employees & execs of #Trump Org weren’t entirely honest w/them.

Bender & Mazars may have been equal parts victims of & accomplices to Trump’s alleged fraud.

Continued thread

#Suarez is now cross-examining #Bender about #accounting principles — deep accounting weediness that #Trump is nonetheless sitting through.

Trump's lawyers are trying to show — despite the #TrumpOrganization’s WRITTEN ASSERTION that it, not #Mazars, was responsible for the preparation of the #statements in #compliance w/standardized accounting practices — that Bender should have known & should have guided Trump better.

""#aborted #fetuses are not #technically #lives and it's #harmful and not #medically #accurate to refer to them that way" and "#people who have early #miscarriages of wanted #pregnancies are still #allowed to grieve and consider them their #child" are two #statements that can and should #coexist"

""people who made the difficult #decision to have an #abortion #because it's right for them and their #situation are still allowed to grieve how things could have been if their #circumstances had been different" is another statement that should be added"

"the like. "barbies/cottagecore is for #girls and legos/dark academia is for #boys but idk #why!" type #statements are actually a perfect encapsulation of the way so many #people will regurgitate straight up undiluted #rightwing #misogyny and #gender roles and not stop for even a second to #examine where that thought process might come from because surely since they themselves are not right wing there's absolutely no need to interrogate their own thinking at any point.

it's the idea that merely believing themselves to be left wing/progressive is already enough and there's no point to work on themselves and their beliefs any further than that, as if they didn't still grow up in a culture that's steeped in misogynistic values and spoonfeeds them to absolutely everybody from the moment they're born, and as if it's not a lifelong process for everyone to identify the way they've been shaped and influenced by that and actively counteract it.

but i guess that would require admitting how deep this stuff actually runs and that misogyny is in fact not diet #oppression"
