THREAD lungo 🙏

“Vi teniamo d’occhio”
Quella frase,breve ma orribile,chiude l’estate 2006,quella di Guido #Rossi (ne parleremo in un altro thread) e apre la stagione 2006-2007:
A pronunciarla ù l’#Uefa nella persona di Michel #Platini.
Ma raccontiamola bene quella stagione.
👇
Si va in #ChampionsLeague ma si deve partire dai preliminari
Ci ammettono ufficialmente il 2 Agosto e troviamo la #StellaRossa.
E si giocherĂ  solo 7 giorni dopo!
I reduci del mondiale vittorioso in #Germania sono appena partiti per le vacanze.
Ma #Galliani richiama tutti.
👇
#Pirlo,#Gattuso,#Inzaghi
Pippo non fa neanche in tempo ad uscire dall’aeroporto di #Olbia.
“Pippo,siamo in Champions,ce la fai a tornare”?Chiede #Galliani.
Che domande
Pippo prende il primo aereo disponibile e torna,come tutti
Stanchi,forse scarichi dal Mondiale,ma ci sono

The interior of a single virus particle  contains a dense assembly of #ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) that package the genome to form the #nucleocapsid (protein shell of a virus). Notable, it has a cylindrical shape that matches the particle geometry. 1/10

However, many peope have not understood that these viruses do not #spread exponentially, but in waves (fairy tale of #exponential #growth). 2/10
In this regard, Farr's Law should be mentioned (William #Farr on patterns of #epidemic events), which was banned from the German #wikipedia at the time, but could still be read in the English wikipedia. In the meantime it has marginally reappeared. 3/10

I’m old enough to remember news before and after the internet.

Look, it wasn’t great before. Everything the public learned was filtered through a specific, flawed point of view.

But you’d have to be an idiot to think move to FB news has been positive overall to democracy.
2/ The positives are sub communities have been able to create well-informed, specialty niches. Mainstream press didn’t understand tech, queer culture, videogames or even EDM. We have excellent news on all those subjects now.
3/ But the negatives, to my mind, far outstrip them.

The human mind is simply wired to click news we already agree with. We’re overdosing on trash, confirmation bias and disinformation.

Consensus is all but impossible.

Since the #Ferguson protests of 2014, #BLM has been blatant about its anti-Israel agenda. Virtually every pro-Israel organization in the nation gave them a pass. @IbsiNow warned that was a failed strategy.

IBSI has a plan, but we need your help. givebutter.com/s9DRqs

Eine hervorragende sachl. Aufarbeitung von unschÀtzb. Wert u. in diesem Sinne auch ein historischer Beitrag! Danke! Vollkommen richtig erkannt, dass H. Bude u.a. nicht verstanden haben, dass sichViren nicht exponentiell, sondern wellenförm. ausbreiten (MÀr vom exp. Wachstum) 2/10
Hierzu sei das Farr'sche Gesetz erwĂ€hnt (William Farr ĂŒber Muster epidemischer Ereignisse), dass seinerzeit aus dem deutschen Wikipedia verbannt war, aber in der englischen Wikipedia noch zu lesen war. Mittlerweile ist es marginal wieder aufgetaucht. 3/10

Yesterday, after seven years of litigating the debtors' prison case against #Ferguson, six Plaintiffs joined us & co-counsel from @whitecase and @CivRightsCorps to argue a Motion for Class Certification in Federal District Court. Our team is optimistic that yesterday’s hearing...
...was yet another important step toward long-overdue relief for more than 10,000 people detained by Ferguson for a total of 58 years of unlawful incarceration.

To learn more: archcitydefenders.org/for-immediate-

Via @tonymess: There is a lesson for other cities across the nation as the Ferguson lawsuit drags on. Trying to undo the municipal schemes that extract money from poor people with devastating consequences is no trivial matter. The cities want their revenue. They will fight hard.

#BREAKING: Anarchist prisoner Eric King just found Not Guilty by a federal jury in a case where he was accused of assaulting a prison guard
The case against King has highlighted recurring themes of federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) irregularities and misconduct.

During King's trial on Weds paperwork in his cell was destroyed, which the BOP claims was caused by a "bird" flying into the prison: unicornriot.ninja/2022/bop-blame

While he won at trial today, King remains incarcerated for now.

In 2016 he pled guilty to a 2014 molotov cocktail attack on an empty congressional office, an act he said was done in solidarity w/ #Ferguson uprisings after the police murder of Mike Brown: unicornriot.ninja/2016/eric-king

During #occupy and #blacklivesmatter the right wing @GOP #whitesupremacists constantly trolled/attacked the movement.

Today in #occupyottawa I see so many so called BLM and other activists attacking the protests and they aren't even watching the streams. They sound like msm!
it doesn't matter who started it. The people on the ground are the voice not the originators. The facts are that the government & left media continue to call these canadians right wing white supremacists just because the usa right wing is trying to coopt the movement!! #chudwatch
Don't agree with me??? then #occupy your own idealogy and make the change you wish to see but do something other than help the governments/media/police shut down a people movement calling out the corruption and demanding change! #chudwatch

“In the end, we cannot ethically bring this case to trial,” Bell told @tonymess. “Our investigation does not exonerate Darren Wilson.”
“By Missouri’s legal standards, not only would I have to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but I also would have to disprove a self-defense argument beyond a reasonable doubt. I can’t ethically charge him.” stlamerican.com/news/local_new

Nearly six years after Michael Brown was shot to death by #Ferguson officer Darren Wilson, a new prosecutor explains why he reviewed the case and why he isn’t charging Wilson. @WesleyBell4STL presser: pscp.tv/w/cfHlVzEwNTY1

The #BlackLivesMatter movement began in the #Ferguson uprising, whose proximate cause was the police murder of Michael Brown, but whose context was a city that survived by immiserating and incarcerating Black people.

1/
Ferguson is one of those Red State low-tax zones, having capitulated to the tax extremism of right-wing, white, wealthy people, and yet, it was also a city that needed to keep the lights on, pave the roads, and run its schools.

2/
So to find revenue, Ferguson turned to its poorest residents - its Black people - inventing a modern form of debt bondage, wherein Black people were stopped for petty infractions and then subjected to massive fines.

There’s something to be said about strategy in #Atlanta. Buckhead is not the most welcoming place sometimes; many business owners are racist, && welp.

I cannot wait to read about last night in a book. I hope some of you who were there are journaling! Just don’t post online.
Speaking of— y’all need to start going low tech before these protests. Leave your cell phones at HOME! Geo location tagging, social media, etc. leave digital footprints.

Use a flip phone— they sell them at Walmart. I’m dead serious too. Ask me how I know?

#AtlantaProtest
I have not participated in a boots on the ground protest since @YesAurielle was kidnapped by Atlanta police.

That, plus folks from #ItsBiggerThanU / Young #Atlanta activist disappearing along w/ folks in #Ferguson, sent me behind the scenes to use other skills.

“Beginning his 20th year serving as sheriff, Stolzer spoke Tuesday night at the Ste. Genevieve Republican Club about why he is making the big step from ‘blue’ to ‘red.’”
"When #Ferguson happened there and our state government stepped in and our federal government stepped in and screwed it up as bad as they did, it made me realize our federal government drastically affects what happens to me here locally and throughout this country.”

After #MikeBrown was murdered, an investigation revealed "shocking emails" including racist exchanges between higher-ups in the #Ferguson police department. I doubt many Black Ferguson residents found the exchanges shocking. #AbolishICE #AbolishPolice politico.com/story/2019/07/

Be it ICE, police, or the military, dehumanization comes with the territory. It is the only way officers can justify the assault, displacement, murder, and psychological damage they are charged with inflicting, and still sleep at night. #AbolishICE #AbolishPolice
We need to stop seeing misogyny, racism, and bigotry amongst law enforcement agents as "shocking" and start understanding it as a necessary product of the law enforcement project--one that is knowingly encouraged by the system's gatekeepers #AbolishICE #AbolishPolice

Trump is freaking out tweeting attacks on McCain, Steele Dossier, DEMs & RT’g ludicrous conspiracy theories.

Get this, Rudy alledges Cohen lied to Congress therefore Flynn’s indictment should be dismissed.🙄

Something is in the pipeline that has them terrified...
☘Unhinged2☘

FYI: McCain gave dossier to FBI in 12/9/2016.

Trump cannot pardon co-conspirators involved in the same criminal act(s) in which he is involved.

Trump’s SDNY legal probs are massive. Trump Org, & Foundation are under a forensic microscope.

It's with a heavy heart that we closed the doors to @WellspringSTL. I wanted to share some of my experiences at this beautiful church. (thread incoming)
I first attended the Well on the 1st anniversary of #MikeBrown's death, August 2015. Upon arrival, a later familiar face greeted me with a hearty "Good morning and welcome to Wellspring!" I then received a hug from another friend-to-be and was shown to my seat with a coffee.
The service was both memorial and call to action; something must be done to stop these police killings. I had participated in the Boston marches last year, but @FWillisJohnson delivered a sermon that truly stirred my spirit. What soon transpired was a life-changing journey.
