Amazon Smile, the charitable end of Bezos' business has booted BLM off it's list of beneficiaries over the small matter of a missing 60 million dollars. The move deprives BLM of a major revenue source and comes less than two years after Amazon itself donated $10 million to BLM and 11 other social justice groups. It becomes the latest in a line of big corporates to pull funding.

Intel pledged $1 million to a number of social justice groups, including BLM, in late May of 2020, but the chipmaker ended up not providing any funding to BLM.

Cisco committed $5 million to BLM and other social justice groups in June 2020, but never followed through on its pledge to contribute to BLM.

Subsequently the California DOJ has threatened to hold the leaders of Black Lives Matter personally liable over the charity's missing financial records.

BLM confirmed they had $60 million in their bank accounts at the end of 2020 after their coffers were filled with donations following the May 2020 killing of George Floyd.

In December 2020 BLM was officially registered as a charity, but it has not provided its latest tax return, and the 2019 filing has a non-existent address.

BLM's co-founder and executive director, Patrisse Cullors, resigned in May 2021 amid scrutiny of her $3.2 million property empire.

Cullors said that two people, Makani Themba and Monifa Bandele, were taking over but in September they said they never accepted the roles .

Amazon kicked Black Lives Matter off its charity platform AmazonSmile on Tuesday as the social justice organization faces intense scrutiny from multiple states over the status of its financial windfall from 2020.

I don’t think Lassa is airborne, is it?

Facts never get in the way of a good sensationalist headline though.

BLM's co-founder and executive director, Patrisse Cullors, resigned in May 2021 amid scrutiny of her $3.2 million property empire.

When she was asked how she had managed to amass millions of dollars worth of property her answer was that the question was racist
True story.

It's a bit sensationalist to call that a sensationalist headline.

Perhaps Charles will again contract Covid and insist on a Homeopathic cure?

I bet this turns into a farce. Podium ceremonies should be a proud occasion for the athletes but they'll be over shadowed by the loony do-gooders moaning about everything. And folk trying to outdo each other by having better rants and banners.
Those who don't join in will be seen as the enemy.

It's probably wrong to laugh, but ...

the 36-year-old man allegedly cut the other's leg off under the knee with a circular saw.

The suspect ... leaving the area on foot.
