You know who'd be very sad to hear that the $1.7B fund is definitely not going to happen? The poor guy whose lawsuit settlement established the fund in the first place. I mean, it's right there in the signed document. Which, come to think of it, isn't that settlement still valid? I sure haven't seen any news about it being amended. Man, that guy is gonna be pissed when he finds out Trump's DOJ is changing the deal.
Thank you, Allison. Blanch and Trump are trying to see what they can get away with. I hope you keep your lawsuit in play against this . I am afraid it’s a build up to white supremacy.
