Let's break them down 🧵 Image
You already know Wadah Khanfar, the former Al Jazeera Director General and apparent Hamas bigwig. But in case you need a refresher ⬇️

Another guest is Shawan Jabarin, a former senior member of the PFLP who was convicted of recruiting and training members for the group in 1985. Jabarin also leads Al Haq, a Palestinian NGO that Israel designated as a terrorist organization for its ties to the PFLP

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "A DOSE OF HISTORICAL REALISM FOR JEWS.

We Jews have a bad habit. The habit is that we have become accustomed to and accepting of the Western Wall (formally the Wailing Wall) as the central place of veneration,

of connection to our heritage. In that context, the area adjacent to the Wall has been cleared and beautified and made into a gathering place for prayer, celebrations, and nice pictures. My son had his Bar-Mitzvah at the Wall, as have many others.

But, I want everyone to pause and think for a moment. WHY IS THE WALL IMPORTANT TO US?

After all, all it was and is, is a retaining wall built supporting the platform constructed on which to place the Temple.

1/ My worst fears have been realized.

Many will think that those are that Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is real. And here's the thing: I've known that for a while. What was not known to me was whether OCP 2.0 was founded on a concern about sophisticated understandings of the banking

3/ Well, my dear reader, I am here to tell you that I was wrong: there is a third option. That third option is that banking regulators actually have no idea what is going on and are going to take steps that demonstrate a profound misunderstanding of risk and will make the

People really aren’t pushing back against the Republicans’ LIE that immigrants are voting. I used to work for DHS - if you even register to vote as a noncitizen, you’re OUT; no defense. And it DOES NOT HAPPEN. These LIES need to be called out so much more forcefully. 1/
Here’s what it would take for a typical immigrant to be able to vote: enter US with parole. Wait for your asylum hearing a few years later. If granted (huge percentage DENIED), you are in asylee status for a year. Then you can apply for a green card. That process takes time 2/
So, by the time you apply to adjust status to become an LPR, you’ve probably already been in the US for minimally three years (likely soooo much longer!)

Listen very closely. Democrats say “[so in so] is a threat to “our” democracy. They never say a threat to the United States it’s always “our” democracy as in “their” democracy.
Democrats aren’t concerned about our constitutional republic they are (cont’ing)
(cont’d) concerned about their view and their interpretation of what they feel “democracy” is.
Believe me Democrat’s “democracy” isn’t the same form of government as what the founders instituted in this country. (cont’ing)
(cont’d) And it is not the same republic that our brothers and sisters fought for and died for. No one fought and died for open borders, no one fought and died for child genital mutilation, no one fought for and died for foreigners (cont’ing)

Can anyone explain how @mamulashvili and @NonaMamulashvi ended up as directors of a non-profit in Texas named after @ghlfound... with Richard Sharp as a registered agent, the convicted felon and former ("former" 🙃) "head adjutant to the commander of the @georgian_legion"? 🧵👇 Image
As a reminder, this is Richard Sharp, or "Ed" aka @edwardmurrow666 as he was known in NAFO. His close association with @official_nafo and @apmassaro3 made him extremely popular... until he disappeared without explanation in 2023. 👇

Image
When his criminal record came out, everyone associated with GL was quick to dismiss him as just some random unaffiliated volunteer, despite months of endorsement by people like @the_reshet, @mamulashvili_m, @AdamKinzinger or @apmassaro3. And nearly everyone swallowed it. 👇 Image

The deeper root of anti-LLM developer posturing is that it's an existential threat to the more hucksterish model of SaaS—pretending simple computational tasks are complex and offering to do it for clients—upon which the industry has thrived the past couple of decades.
There was no real historical need for companies of any significant size to outsource database management and other simple internal functions to cloud companies with no, or nominal, domain expertise in their respective industries.
This happened in the same way that 90s "IT" would whip up false demand, preying upon the fact that most people didn't understand computers. People learnt about them en masse. Now, with the barriers to entry lowered, people will learn to replace these pseudo-specialisms en masse.

That time a foreign intelligence service colluded with a presidential candidate and interfered with the U.S. election.
>No, not *that* time - The time it *actually* happened: How the UK colluded with FDR to pick the 1940 GOP nominee and undermine the America First movement.

Accusations that the British were secretly manipulating the U.S. press and politicians in order to undermine the America First movement and drag America into war were dismissed as a conspiracy theory. But the conspiracy theorists were right, and it was worse than they knew.

British agents were conducting a “classic influence operation," including wire taps, fake news, and dirty tricks aimed at discrediting America First. It was extremely effective, and the biggest coup was helping to pick a pro-war GOP presidential candidate in 1940.
