When I posted this fundraiser to Facebook the other day, I got a question from a user outside the US about Bitcoin donations. I’m happy to say that we can now accept Bitcoin payments as well: you can send any donations for The Liberator scanning project to bitcoin:18Bojnp2UG3iDpXT9CxjutjsXQjWgbmSCW (I’ll post updates and thank-yous for any donations received through this address as well as those received through the Donate button here.)

Thanks to the generous supporters who have helped us reach $80 of our project budget so far! We’ll have an update tomorrow on the progress of the scanning.

Long had apparently waited for 20 minutes prior to the bank opening at 9:30 a.m., she said. But a customer with an appointment was called first. “‘There was another customer in front of Bobby, and he didn’t want to wait in line,’ the exasperated manager said. ‘Seven minutes after we opened, we helped him.’ “But Long threw a fit and closed his business account, she said. . . . “Long remains on the job, but his bank lost a valued customer. He earned $143,816 in salary last year, records show. . . .” #AbolishThePolice
