Only if Nigerians know the level of lawlessness perpetuated at the DSS in the name of "order from above", we will understand the daner of having a tyrant who has no iota of respect for human right or dignity. The level of arrogance and confidence of the DSS to unlawfully #Thread
...detained innocent Nigerians is disgustingly obvious in their manner of operation and approach. Anthony Okolie who happened to be my cellmate at the DSS even got lucky to have spent "only 10weeks" for doing nothing according to a Senior "Intelligent Officer"...
Till now, no one including Anthony, knows his offence, he was only released with the usual sentence "You're now forgiven". I can also recalled a man who spent 4years for only receiving a phone call from a suspected BH member, his property sold out by siblings and wife already....
The Devil Rays went down to Houston
They were looking for a game to steal
They were in a bind, because the series was tied and they were willing to make a deal
When they came across this young arm throwing fire and spinning it hot

The Rays jumped up on a hickory bat and said “Boy let me tell you what”
“I bet you didn’t know it, but we are ball players too...
And if you care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you
Now you throw pretty hard Boy, but give the Rays their due

Ilorin Amusement Park: Lawyers Warn Kwara Govt, APC, Others on Libel Against Mrs. Saraki. 
Lawyers acting for Mrs Toyin Saraki, Wife of former Senate President yesterday August 15 issued a Letter Before Action - Cease And Desist Caution Notice - to Kwara State Government, the state Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)...
... and one Titi Anifowoshe, a personal aide to Minister-Nominee Former Senator Gbemisola Rukayat Saraki-Fowora warning them to retract a defamatory story they sponsored on the social media against the former First Lady of the state on the ownership of an Ilorin amusement park.
This fairy story pushed by Boris Johnson claiming it is lack of patriotic faith which somehow has brought Brexit to it’s knees really is pulling the wool over our eyes. I ask you this. Why did the Brexit architects think so little of the UK and British influence all those years?
Do they believe their own press that their public policy failings were the fault of EU law? Do they believe their own press that the UK was a victim, a prisoner of the the EU whilst at the same time being
so important and powerful that the 27 partners would roll over and give them absolutely everything they want? The truth (complex and nuanced) of our relationship with the EU is a long way from the simplistic banana and kipper rubbish fed to the “masses” by Johnson & co.
A few hours ago after so much deliberation and attempts at exploitation, the members of the #TakeItBack Movement arrested for pasting @YeleSowore’s posters have been released from kirikiri prison where they were remanded after being granted bail. #ReformOurCriminalJusticeSystem
The injustice done to these people will not be overlooked or swept under the carpet. Video clips and audio recordings of the exploiters and oppressors at the area F police command and Magistrate court will soon be released and a petition will be filed on this brigandage.
It should be noteworthy that @YeleSowore’s supporters were the only ones arrested for doing what every support camps do and we can now confirm the attempts to subjugate his voice with the exclusion from the debate. @SaharaReporters take note. They are already campaigning for him.
Within weeks of the Orlando nightclub shooting, Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) participated in a sit-in at the House to demand votes on gun control legislation, saying, "We owe it to the LGBT community & all families harmed by gun violence to keep terror suspects from obtaining guns."
Since he was first elected to Congress in 1998, Sen. Udall has taken a leadership role on a wide array of environmental issues, receiving a lifetime score of 96% from the League of Conservation Voters.

Ignore the polls and get out there and #Vote on November 6th. Relying on polling is a relic of a time gone by.
I’m not saying looking at @FiveThirtyEight’s model and charts and stuff isn’t cool, because it is and provides some insight. But no matter what the numbers say, it’s most certainly NEVER an excuse to not #Vote because you feel your peeps are a “lock”
Need nothing further than to point to 2016. Which by the way, @FiveThirtyEight didn’t really have wrong, but the “selected not elected” mindset existed before 2016. Why else would over 100 million people choose NOT to participate in their civic duty to choose their leaders.

🍑She’s running for Congress in George’s 6th District and could use your help because she’s in a tight race. She’s running against the SAME NRA-backed, A-rated Republican that Jon Ossoff ran against in a runoff election in June 2017. Ossoff should have won back then.
To win the House and make history on November 6, we knew we needed to mobilize, engage, and activate key African American, Hispanic, and young voters.
So we built an aggressive, state-of-the-art digital program that rose to the occasion.

Cecilia is a single mom who works two minimum-wage jobs. But her daughter’s pre-school and routine checkups put her in debt. So she is voting for a change in Congress.

But seriously, this #Khashoggi story is scary. Jared Kushner is biffles with the crown prince and his father in law calls the press the “enemy of the people.” We need answers to this.
Like, people are over here listening to Kanye West give a soliloquy in the Oval Office while Kush sits there smiling to the camera. This is the news story today. Swift vs West II.
A hurricane hit Florida that Florida has never seen before. In OCTOBER. And the lower third is a Kanye quote that says Drumpf “saved the planet” days after the UN said we’re all dead in 20 years. Not 2,000, not 200, 20.
Is that a threat? Because that sure sounds like a threat.
Please report and block @FreedomGetuSome for threats of violence against peaceful protesters exercising their first amendment rights.

Not sure if you've heard, but we already had a "race war" in the south.
You lost.
Still, you display your confederate flag. Might as well be a white flag of surrender.
I feel sorry for you, but I'm too busy feeling sorry for them.

DEMOCRAT ANITA EARLS (@earls4justice) MUST WIN THIS SEAT.
She faces 2 GOPers after a power grab by the NC GOP backfired. It’s a complicated story. Your vote is not.
Elect Anita.

Today’s vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court was disappointing, with an impact that will reverberate for decades to come. In particular, Mr. Kavanaugh’s confirmation sends a clear message to women and girls: you don’t matter. #BelieveSurvivors #TakeItBack
The GOP has appointed a man who believes birth control is abortion and that abortion is illegal to the highest court in the land, an institution that is meant to protect and represent the freedoms of all people -- men, women, and children of every race, religion, and ethnicity.
Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court will have devastating consequences for communities across the United States for decades to come.

Sexual assault is about power as all thinking peoples know.
Kavanaugh has power.
Dr. Ford does not.
Here you see the primary problem in our system.
A power structure that is abhorrently skewed to the already powerful.

I want you to think of a case about five years ago. In Florida a kid got drunk, slaughtered some folks on the side of the road and got slap on the wrist.
He claimed "afluenza," sayin' he was too RICH to understand what he'd done.

He had rich parents, who on the state level had plenty of political influence. They had some real power. His parents hired expensive attorneys and experts, spent a bunch of money, and I assume favors, and he got off.
