In his required annual #FinancialReport, #ClarenceThomas said he opted to fly on the #PrivateJet of his friend & #benefactor, #HarlanCrow, for ONE of the trips on the advice of his security detail. The justices faced heightened security risks, #Thomas noted, after the May, 2022 #leak of the court’s majority opinion to eliminate the nationwide right to #abortion & overturn #RoeVWade.

(except he took a number of similar travel gifts prior to the #Dobbs leak & decision)

Influential activist #LeonardLeo helped fund media campaign #lionizing #ClarenceThomas. Public relations campaign shows how he has continued to exert influence in support of #rightleaning #justices aftr helping them secure #lifetime appointments. It adds to emerging portrait of Leo as behind-the-scenes #benefactor, defending justices from public criticism and exalting their jurisprudence while tending to personal matters including private travel and a spouse’s employment. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/07/20/leonard-leo-clarence-thomas-paoletta/

Those who invented all those puzzles and designed the levels in #amiga game #benefactor was just brilliant mind to me. I'm already in Stones and Bones world (3rd out of 4 if I recall) and I enjoy this game every next level, even more! #retrogaming

Okay, so to do a big jump, I have to run first. Took way too long to work that out. 🤦‍♂️

@terrillwelch
Absolutely, there's room for all!

Heck, we'll take over the whole #industrial #park!

Nothing but #ideas & #art connecting every building, fire hydrant, and street lamp.

Got a #rich #benefactor that sponsors real people to buy it for us, or are we doing this "Occupy"-style?
