Tonight the Senate was given the chance to vote on amendments to help fix a slew of unconstitutional provisions to RISAA, the fake FISA reform bill and truly reform other government spying practices as well.

🧵 2/4

My 1st amendment included my bipartisan 4th Amendment is Not for Sale Act (already passed by the House). It would have ended the government’s practice of buying its way around the Bill of Rights by purchasing Americans’ personal data.

Defeated 31-61

🧵 3/4

My 2nd amendment would have exempted Americans from being swept up in the bulk collection of personal data from the FOREIGN Intelligence Surveillance Act. We could have ensured both constitutional rights and national security were protected.

Defeated 11-82

Eyal Golan, the Israeli Zionist arrested for gang raping and trafficking children with his father, came out with the song "Am Yisrael Chai" 6 months ago which became a viral hit in Israel, and he regularly does events with top politicians and the military. A pedophile gang rapist, awarded by the Israeli parliament and beloved in Israel by the media and public

here is Eyal Golan, the pedophile gang rapist trafficker of children, given an honorary award by the Israeli parliament days ago and who does official events with the military, performing for Zionist Nazi troops returning from mass murder and rape in Gaza:

so the Israeli parliament, military, public and media are openly and publicly celebrating, awarding, doing official events with a serial pedophile gang rapist trafficker of children, as they simultaneously push the "mass rape" atrocity propaganda hoax to Western audiences

64 yrs ago today, in the early morning hours, terrorists attempted to assassinate attorney & Nashville Councilman Z. Alexander Looby & his wife Grafta by bombing their North Nashville home.

The bomb blast was so powerful it blew out 140 windows of Meharry Medical College nearby, injuring several medical students.

Looby had long been a target of white supremacists. He successfully represented Black citizens in Columbia, TN, who defended themselves against white supremacists’ when they attacked a Black WWII Navy veteran.

Wknd 🧵- If they were Modi 😊

After repeatedly resisting to disclose electoral bond data & getting whacked by SC, Modi now claims it’s him who brought transparency so he is the good guy!

If some famous characters were Modi, how would they claim to be good guys/gals? 👇 …

I did it to promote love for parents, I am the good guy!

Breaking: Our exhaustive paper on liver toxicity of various herbs/ plants used in Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (Ayush) systems of alternative medicine is out now (free to read)
with @arifhussaintm

This paper was initially an invited paper by an Indian journal. The reviewers and Editorial board rejected the "invited" paper because they thought the paper was "too critical" of traditional, cultural and religious [unscientific] aspects of healthcare practice among Indian community and feared backlash from the alternative systems regulatory body (Ayush Ministry) and Ayurveda and Homeopathy practitioners & their organizations of they accepted their own "invited" paper.

The Indian medical science community is now hostage to it's unscientific past due to a deepening lack of scientific temperament among doctors, worrying knee-jerk response style assault from the alternative medicine industry/practitioners/regulators and general apathy towards patients & public health. It's disappointing.

Since they were spineless to publish our factual paper, we sent this to a neutral journal for peer review (which is got through) and paid open access publication fee, so that everyone could read it for free.

Please read and share this important paper which educates physicians on herbal liver toxicity from seemingly benign plant sources which they need to be aware of.

The subsequent posts also highlights infographics summary of various toxic Ayush-based botanicals that are increasingly reported to harm public and patients.

Thanks in advance, and I hope doctors in India start fearlessly respecting science rather than intentionally embracing ignorance & selfishly covering up themselves in a safety bubble, thereby endangering public health in the process.journals.lww.com/md-journal/ful…

So here is my review about last night 🇮🇱 strike against 🇮🇷, so that's it? 🤷‍♀️ That was underwhelming to say the least 🤭 they responded to ~300 drones and missiles with 3 small drones, which may have been shot down? That makes 🇮🇱 look rather weak...🧵
apnews.com/article/iran-i…

2. this was unexpectedly weak from Israel, and it would have been far less humiliating to not have bothered. Because even if Iran doesn’t strike back, this weak attempt won’t remotely satisfy Israeli internal demands for a powerful response. It maybe Israel was trying to bait...

3. Iran into overreaching by triggering a big response to its weak poke as a means to try and regain some moral high ground and force 🇺🇸 to help.
But once again they seemed to have been outplayed by 🇮🇷, who held back and didn’t launch the overwhelming counterattack...

“Who Moved My Cheese?”

A great short book that will help you to deal with change in your work and life.

With its unique insights and storytelling, it can be read and understood quickly by everyone who wants to embrace change and grow in its midst.

7 lessons from the book 🧵

1) Sometimes some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don’t do something, it can prompt you into action.

But it is not good when you are so afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.

2) What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.

When you stop being afraid you feel good!

Heading down to my local ward office later today to officially get married with Minori.

After four years it’s about time. I hope we continue to have a good life together.

I only wish Dad was still around to see it. That’s the saddest part of losing a parent when you’re young.

I’ve been through a lot in the last few years, but overall I’m extremely grateful to be in the position I’m in.

The next step is to continue working hard so I can have a stable academic career.

We definitely want kids, but I have to be able to provide for them first.

I have friends in countries like Ukraine and Israel who have to deal with the struggle of just staying alive.

So I’m fully aware of how lucky I am to live a safe and happy life in a place like Japan.

It’s important to always count your blessings.

BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide.

They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades.

This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.

This isn’t the first time workers at the Chattanooga VW plant have tried to unionize.

Workers tried to organize a union at the Chattanooga factory two previous times — in 2014 and 2019 — and both times they lost by narrow margins.

But this time was different. After the huge wins from the @UAW’s strike at the Big 3, workers at the Chattanooga plant rushed to join the organizing committee.

Then, a supermajority of Volkswagen workers signed union cards in just 100 days.
