Limp response to #RepealTheGRA petition from @CabinetOffice
The 2004 Act is "effective," "balanced" and grants individuals their "wish," so women & children - the majority - just have to tolerate deprivation of safety, privacy & dignity.

The 2020 position, following Stonewall's GRA reform/"self-ID" push, is no longer current. How can @cabinetofficeuk not have moved on in response to events, including @scotgov debacle? The voting public knows gender laws are absurd & harmful. Debate must happen #RepealTheGRA
And if @RishiSunak doesn't clean up the gender mess on his watch, it'll just become a replay of the "Tory sleaze" saga. Reality matters!

I’m excited to be at @HowardU for this launch & conference on democracy & journalism. Gorgeous campus, brisk fall day, wee robots out front, a chance to meet new people & see old friends. twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
Here’s a “democracy toolkit” for journalists:
democracytoolkit.press
Fascists, dictators, autocrats, & demagogues see a free press as enemies to be co-opted, muzzled, jailed, or murdered, preventing the immune system of democracy from debunking viral lies & revealing corruption.

We must understand that when it comes to democracy and equality, neutrality is an abdication of duty, says @nhannahjones, who says a culture of balance & covering “both sides” impedes the ability of journalists to inform the public of threats to those ideals. #DemocracySummjt
We all unknowingly share #misinformation sometimes🙈. Some of us more often than others. Here we know a guy who makes people’s phones hot with #fakenews in the friends #WhatsApp groups📱🔥.
His name is 🎤 #Kofi 🎤

#Kofi is your everyday young person who’s very invested in current affairs in Africa & across the world📰📱📺
#WhatsApp is #Kofi’s app of choice. He however shares online news and content from very questionable sources in the friends group. Often without #verifying the content🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
When you have to SUE to stop the truth from getting out...
GUILTY!

INNOCENT PEOPLE COOPERATE

Can anyone explain why ANY veteran would vote for 45? He calls them 'losers/suckers', was court-ordered to return the 2 million he stole from them, stockpiled their masks, tried to shutter Stars and Stripes AND he represents a different country other than the one he resides in.
I'll BET that if Rachel Maddow didn't make a huge stink it would be GONE.
What's the catch?
We didn't know better then. As we celebrated cricket, Gen @P_Musharraf launched #Pak Army into #Kargil. Dec 18, 1999 Capt Nadeem & L/NK Laikjaan & others were sent on reconnaissance patrols. We gave Pak cricketers a standing ovation, Pak Army firmed up defences on Kargil heights
530 Indian families lost a son, a brother, a husband, a soldier in the #Kargil war. In the months preceding Kargil, #Lahore bus journey was hailed as a game changer that would herald an era of peace. Pak sent one team to Chepauk, another with Assault rifles & Arty guns to Kargil.
We could have been fooled then but now we have access to information even from #Pakistan. The architects of the plan Gen Musharraf, Lt Gen Mohd Aziz Khan (CGS), Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmed (X Corps Cdr) & executed by Maj Gen Javed Hasan, (FCNA) & Brig Nusrat Sial (62 Bde Cdr) #FactsFirst
What’s wrong @MeetThePress?
Who aired a clip of @GovRonDeSantis saying he’d “seen the stuff Biden is putting out, that he’s going to create these FEMA camps or whatever, & that’s not necessary for Florida” without first telling @NBCNews viewers that’s a conspiratorial falsehood?

The host, @chucktodd, said @POTUS Biden faces a challenges in making Republican governors partners in COVID response, & framed the clip as an example of “some Trump allies who are dismissive of his plans.”
That’s inaccurate: the challenge is Trump & allies will lie & fear-monger

After hosting a show in disinformation, @MeetThePress is still not adjusting its own editorial practices to the alternative reality in which official lies have disinformed people in post-truth America & stopped airing them or officials without inoculating viewers with #FactsFirst
Half truths & absolute lies of #Pakistan & 'ecosystem' being busted by putting #FactsFirst. Lt Gen @Tiny_Dhillon @ChinarcorpsIA with diplomats in #Srinagar recently. India put J&K facts in public domain to counter malicious propaganda, also peddled by 'Fai sponsored ecosystem.'
India must take all steps necessary to ensure peace prevails in the valley. Internet broadband restoration (while blocking social media apps that can be misused to fuel unrest) & continued detention of pol leaders, esp 3 former chief ministers was raised. Under judicial scrutiny.

U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended moving forward with charges against Andrew McCabe, Fox News has learned, as the Justice Department rejects a last-ditch appeal from the former top FBI official.
McCabe appealed the decision of the U.S. attorney for Washington all the way up to the deputy attorney general, but the department rejected that request, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Holes poked in @CNN report blaming Trump for alarm that led to extraction of Kremlin informant, when, in fact, the media is to blame #FactsFirst washex.am/2ZOfPRr
CNN's @jimsciutto reported the informant was extracted in 2017 after Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office in May 2017 and disclosed some classified information about an anti-ISIS operation in Syria.
Although CNN mentioned that concerns for the informant's safety dated back to the end of the Obama administration, the report stressed that Trump's actions were the inciting incident to revisit prior conversations.
Trump will be speaking shortly in Orlando. I'll be quoting and fact-checking in this thread. You can also follow updates from my CNN colleagues at this link, which I'll be re-posting periodically: cnn.com/politics/live-…
"We have reformed the VA, and Veterans Choice is now the law," Pence, introducing Trump, says of a program that became the law in 2014 when Obama signed a McCain-Sanders bill.
Trump begins his campaign launch by boasting about the size of the crowd. He claims "the fake news" would say he "didn't fill up the arena" if there were a mere few empty seats.
1/@FoxNews Chief National Correspondent @edhenry says @CNN is “getting slammed” for report that 100s of @TSA personnel are calling in sick, citing tweet from @SpoxDHS.
One problem: Ed forgot to report tweet from @CNN showing they reached out to TSA and their tweet is #FakeNews.

But the network seems to have learned nothing from the Lord/McEnany/Lewandowski disaster. They still pay people to lie to their audience. 3/
