Appeal to kuki-Zo Tribal brothers & sisters

41 days have passed
More than 100 tribal lives have been lost
Homes and villages have been burnt to ashes

Instead of helping Govt. is collaborating with Meities terrorists
#Don't Forget
#Don't Forgive

Meities are Terrorists
they burn your house
they burned your villages
they burn your churches
They raped our mothers, sisters, they killed them mercilessly 😡

They burnt alive a 7 year old tribal boy along with his mother and aunt
Barbaric 😡
They robbed your houses
They changed the names of your settlements
They called tribals infiltrators, foreigners

They beat tribal children in school and college
They ruined the education of tribal children.

They drove away the tribal children from the Imphal Valley

May be impossible to believe @TulsiGabbard and @jockowillink but some of us have been applying #GameStrategy dare I say #WarStrategy for just a time in history like this.

We can offer real solutions. New solutions that are provable at the #LongGreenTable. Who knew there wouldn't
be a seat available for #CommonPeople.

Where's the aloha in this act.

It's like offering a Gatlin gun to an army fighting with swords and being ignored.

We must do better if "we" are to win.

Question is, are you even serious about ending the genocide. Actions speak louder th
an words.

I'll sign a NDA, whatever it takes to just get 15 minutes to explain where we are failing ourselves.

Voters don't need to wait until 11/24 to demand a new government. And playing along in a corrupt system is an automatic and guaranteed failure.

We all know it. Do y'a

Oh well... 💁‍♂️🔥 #StandUP
Apparently, I work(ed) undercover. So it's a competency. #GhostNoMore
This is getting hilarious.

So, am I lying or telling "truth", truth or Truth... A tricky question! 😎

Assets in covert assignment may be years in the field without a proper debriefing. They are REQUIRED to lie or trick you, because they are the professional liars for the State.

🧵 #FearFraudFascism #StandUp GOP stole a Supreme Court Seat! Tried to steal the Presidency via coup! Attempting to steal Congress w/ voter suppression laws & now are attacking fundamental freedoms- a woman’s right to choose!

2022 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION of OUR LIFETIME!
The Court’s legitimacy is on the line.

For 50 years- Roe was settled law. “Stare Decisis”- was what many of these Republican Justices pledged to follow. They lied.

So what’s next:
⚖️ Marriage Equality?
⚖️ Loving v. VA?
⚖️ Brown v. Board?
The story here is that in an unprecedented move 5 Republican justices will overturn 50 years of legal precedence and destroy women’s rights and the legitimacy of the Supreme Court in the process.

Good for @Spotify standing up against #bullying. This is an important gesture on #BellLetsTalk day.

Unfortunately @NeilYoung has decided to leave. It’s his right to control his own music. It’s not his right to censor another entertainer and artist, @JoeRogan

My tribute to Neil:

Hey hey, my my
#FreedomOfSpeech can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the blue and into the black
If you give them this, they’ll takeaway that

And once it’s gone, you can never get it back
Hold the line, #freedom’s under attack

Omicron could well be excellent news. Even Delta is very manageable with early treatment. Omicron looks to be even more so. And that could allow us to exit the pandemic as a large fraction of the population acquires immunity with mild disease. But there are caveats.
1. We know little yet of Omicron. It might not match our initial assessment.
2. Our leaders are intent on continual (re)vaccination of every last person irrespective of risk, medical need or epidemiological value. No reason to think that’ll change. Early treatment is key, yet DOA
3. We’re pushing a novel—likely functionally enhanced—virus around evolutionarily. No one can predict the outcome with confidence. ADE and original antigenic sin are still on the table. Our recklessness could drive SARS2 toward those with innate immunity (e.g. the healthy/young)

Define your line now, not later.
Speak your convictions before, not after.

Be able to sand by them, do not give yourself an out by not speaking it now.

I know the 1930's Germany comparisons get old, but understand there is a non-zero chance things head that way.
1/
So define for yourself now how bad it would have to get for you to consider the comparison to be apt.

Once you've set that line ask yourself if it would be too late to say anything at that point or not?
If so, speak up now.

2/
Given it remains an open possibility & I know I'm not going to add to those atrocities I feel compelled to speak up now before the Overton Window shifts to a point where I cannot speak or worse.

Waited to post this as I needed to calm down first. I popped into a local pub on Friday evening as I didn’t feel like cooking so thought I’d grab dinner on my way home. It was fairly busy but I found a table and ordered food and a drink.
Whilst I was sat on my own reading on my phone a group of men came back into the pub from outside. I guess they’d been smoking in the beer garden. I didn’t see them come past but they were being pretty loud. Turns out they were on the table behind me.
This was their conversation, as close to verbatim as I can remember.
“They put too much crap on there. Why do I care if you have A Levels? I wanna know if you know how to suck dick. If you ain’t gonna swallow I ain’t interested.”

today i saw a commercial for @RocketMortgage and their dedication to helping veterans here at home..@JDFarner is the Ceo..I reached out desperately to rocket mortgage and every company who claims to support and want to help veterans and veteran housing crisis and was disappointed
As most of you know my veteran family has been fighting not one but now two garbage mortgage companies trying to keep from losing our home. We have don everything they have asked and time after time thrown on forbearances that dont actually help and in fact worsen the problem
My husband has has given 12 years to a country that has turned their backs onus, and its the same nightmare horror story for a now rapidly growing number of veteran families trying to just save their homes and not become the next vet family on the streets.

Women of AB...how many of us are OK with the 'new shuffle'?! There are a huge list of reasons I'm angry with the whole 'shuffle' but this? THIS?? Women are ALREADY disregarded and tossed aside by this UCP but this (AND our Nurses)?!

Not ONLY do we, AB WOMEN, NOT HAVE a FULL Minister (of the Status of Women) but the Assoc Min, is overseen by a white, religious fantic, and Kenney-worshipping MAN!

ARE we ok with this??

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WOMEN??

I know I am so NOT ok with this disgusting

Four years is a long time. It's more than enough time for a President to prove who they are. And every day, Donald Trump proved himself a danger to our Republic. And every scandal, every battle, we were there to fight back. As America votes, we recall those biggest fights here:
Modern candidates prove their commitment to honesty and transparency by releasing their taxes. Even now, Trump works like a dog to hide his checkered financial history from us. So much for the swamp.
The lies started on his first day. Now they come so rapidly you can't even document them all. But we always #StandUp for truth.

Killed By The Government In Your Sleep Is A Problem, #BreonnaTaylor. Why did I mention Breonna Taylor to the students at LSU? Because the government shouldn’t be able to kill us in our sleep.

Young people who are going out to date, meet someone, and fall in love —
should not get shot in their homes while they sleep by the police. And it should make us mad as hell that the cops are still free.

Johnathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove shouldn’t be free. They should be in jail for murder.
We should use as many opportunities as possible to lift up this sisters name. Until they are.

We should consistently use our voices to speak out against injustice. Social media is a tool.

[Day4: Strengths & Limits of #SciComm forms, media, & spaces]
It's theory vs practice day!

There are loads of resources out there for #BestPractices. Today, let's discuss the strengths & limitations YOU've found in trying #STEM #storytelling, #comedy, #SciArt, #digital, & more!
I'll start w/ my favorite resources: @edbeltane & @OliverEscobar's "Public Dialogue & Delibration" & #WendyFaulkner's "Dialogue in #PublicEngagement" handbooks.

How do participant #communication styles impede/help your purpose, eg. #dialogue vs #debate?
beltanenetwork.org/DialogueTheory…
These have been crucial in my understanding of #experiencedesign when creating events or experiences for diverse #scicomm audiences & participants.

There's a purpose for panels and debates. But also a reason why they fail in "changing minds" or creating power-balanced convos.

We are neither political, nor patriotic, and we are both political and patriotic...
..We are not political because we are not interested in politics, certainly not politics as usual. We are not patriotic because a real patriot isn't supposed to question capitalism...
...We are political because we are interested in structures of power and rule and how they are affecting our lives. And we are patriotic because we believe in the idea that is America and we believe it belongs to the world...

Dear #3rdWaveFeminists and women of America: Once upon a time (in my lifetime), women were the property of their father and then their husbands. Upon marriage they ceased to be Miss Mary and became Mrs John Doe. They had no help if their husband beat them. It was their ... 1/
