U.S. officials sought to determine Sunday whether extremist groups had infiltrated police brutality protests across the country and deliberately tipped largely peaceful demonstrations toward violence — and if foreign adversaries were behind a burgeoning disinformation campaign on social media.As demonstrations spread from Minneapolis to the White House, New York City and overseas, federal law enforcement officials insisted far-left groups were stoking violence. Meanwhile, experts who track extremist groups also reported seeing evidence of the far-right at work.Investigators were also tracking online interference and looking into whether foreign agents were behind the effort. Officials have seen a surge of social media accounts with fewer than 200 followers created in the last month, a textbook sign of a disinformation effort.The accounts have posted graphic images of the protests, material on police brutality and material on the coronavirus pandemic that appeared designed to inflame tensions across the political divide, according to three administration officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss investigations.The investigations are an attempt to identify the network of forces behind some of the most widespread 1268

While foot traffic at traditional indoor malls have seen a decline in the last decade, outlet malls are on the rise. According to the National Real Estate Investor, 6.8 million square feet of outlet store space has opened in the United States since 2015. On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission issued tips on shopping at outlet stores. One tip some might not realize is that often outlet stores sell items that are of lesser quality than at normal stores. According to the FTC, many outlets sell items not available in regular stores. While these items come at a discount, they might not be the same quality. "For example, a jacket might not be fully lined, the stripes on a shirt may not match up at the seams, a t-shirt may be made of a lighter-weight fabric, and shoes might be made with synthetic materials rather than real leather," the FTC said in its consumer tips. "If top quality is important, you may want to shop elsewhere. But if it’s the brand, style, or look that’s key, you may be in the right place."The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation shows the difference between items found at outlets versus items found in regular retailers. There are other opportunities to save money at outlets."Some outlet centers also offer shopper club memberships," the FTC said. "If you join, you’ll get information about sales, events, exclusive offers from merchants, and other perks. With some clubs, you can earn gift cards and other rewards at various 'spend levels.' Just be sure to read the fine print before you get to the checkout." 1554

Whether you swipe, insert or tap, it’s become part of the consumer culture in New York City.The goal is to keep you moving. It’s also the reason why some businesses like Sweetgreen have completely gone cashless. But now it will be against the law as the Big Apple becomes the latest city to ban businesses from not accepting cash. The City Council overwhelming voted to ban the cashless practice citywide Thursday.“Cash is the great equalizer, it is the universal currency,” Bronx Councilman Ritchie Torres, the lead sponsor of the legislation, told reporters outside City Hall before the vote. The legislation will penalize brick and mortar businesses who don’t accept cash with fines of up to ,500. According to Ritchie and other supporters of the bill, the cashless business model discriminates against the poor, homeless people and undocumented immigrants as they are more likely to be disconnected from the financial system.“A ban on cashless business is a protection of privacy, it is a protection of equity, but above all it’s a protection of consumer choice,” the councilman said.The ban comes as many businesses move toward the so-called “tap and pay” model like the cashier-less Amazon Go which now has 4 locations in NYC.At the innovative store customers simply tap their app to make purchases. After getting much push back, Amazon announced it would accept cash at select locations. “We have to ensure that our increasingly digital economy in no way leaves any New Yorkers behind,” Ritchie said.In the next few weeks, the mayor is expected to sign the legislation into law, making it official. It will then go into effect by the end of the year.This article was written by Andrew Ramos for 1716

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — One year after killing 51 worshipers at two Christchurch mosques, an Australian white supremacist accused of the slaughter has changed his plea to guilty. Twenty-nine-year-old Brenton Harrison Tarrant on Thursday pleaded guilty to 51 counts of murder, 40 counts of attempted murder and one count of terrorism. The killing spree was the deadliest in New Zealand's modern history and prompted the government to rush through new laws banning most semi-automatic weapons. Tarrant was scheduled to go to trial on the charges in June. His change in plea came as a surprise and relief to survivors and relatives. 648

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Former President Barack Obama released an essay Monday on how he thinks Americans can sustain the momentum of the George Floyd protests to bring about real change. Obama first acknowledged that the protests that have popped up across the U.S. represent a genuine and legitimate frustration over the failure to reform police practices and the broader criminal justice system. He also pointed out that while the overwhelming majority of protesters have been peaceful, a small minority resorted to violence in various forms, putting innocent people at risk and compounding the destruction of neighborhoods that are already struggling. “I saw an elderly black woman being interviewed today in tears because the only grocery store in her neighborhood had been trashed,” wrote Obama. “If history is any guide, that store may take years to come back. So, let’s not excuse violence, or rationalize it, or participate in it. If we want our criminal justice system, and American society at large, to operate on a higher ethical code, then we have to model that code ourselves.”Obama goes on to argue that protests alone won’t bring about the change that is needed to stop police brutality. He says it will a combination of activism and getting people out to vote for people who care about police reform, in local and national elections alike.“So, the bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both,” wrote Obama. “We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform.”Lastly, Obama called on activists to make their demands for criminal justice and police reform specific, so it will be harder for elected officials to “offer lip service” and then fall back into business as usual once protests stop. “The content of that reform agenda will be different for various communities. A big city may need one set of reforms; a rural community may need another,” he wrote. “Some agencies will require wholesale rehabilitation; others should make minor improvements.”Obama says every law enforcement agency should have clear policies, including an independent body that conducts investigations of alleged misconduct. At the end of his essay, the former president included a link to 2372
