wenn Ihr das mit weltweiten Militärs nicht klein bekommt, könnt Ihr Euch Streiterei #Democrats gegen #Republicans ersparen. Ganz ehrlich. Ihr #Amerikaner könnt Koffer packen & zu uns kommen oder Euch denen unterwerfen. Problem nicht ohne #Militärrecht, Ausnahmezustand zu lösen 
2) das ist kein Scherz von mir. Das meine ich völlig ernst. Alle #Militärs der #Welt müssen Leute, die zu dieser #Verschwörung gehören wegen #Landesverrat verhaften. Niemand steht über dem #Gesetz. Niemand steht über dem #Staat. Reich hin o. her. Verhaften & wegen Landesverrat 3)
3) vor Gericht. All diese Leute sind für weltweite #Katastrophen, #Kriege & #Armut mitverantwortlich. Die #Befreiung der #Erde wie Ihr es nennt, wird nie mit Fortsetzung dieser Struktur funktionieren. 5te Dimension, Weltfrieden, Kennedy Plan, G.e.s.a.r.a. alles hängt davon ab.
Big Tech steals from the news, but it doesn't steal *content* - it steals *money*. That matters, because creating copyrights over the news facts, headlines, or snippets to help news companies bargain with tech makes the news *partners* with tech, rather than watchdogs.

#BigTech steals from news, but what it steals isn't *content*. Talking about the news isn't theft, and neither is linking to it, or excerpting it. But stealing *money*? That's *definitely* theft.

Big Tech steals money from the news media. 51% of every ad-dollar is claimed by a tech intermediary, a middleman that squats on a chokepoint between advertisers and publishers.

I’ve been trying to figure this out. And finally an answer. It was at the Dec 2018 American Priority Conference that Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs rubbed elbows w/ Sarah Huckabee Sanders and KellyAnne Conway. 1/

3/ So KellyAnne Conway & Sarah Huckabee Sanders mugged for the camera at a conference w/ the Proud Boys about 2 months AFTER the big assault initiated by the Proud Boys in New York in Oct 2018. The GOP embraces domestic terrorism. buckscountybeacon.com/2023/02/januar…
As 2022 comes to a close, here’s a brief #cdnpoli year in review. In January/22 we saw the launch of a destabilization op (that just *happened* to coincide with the lead up to Putin’s attack on #Ukraine). #FreeDumbConvoy #FluTruxKlan
#FluTruxKlan #FreeDumbConvoy was pushed hard by multiple malign players & boosted by inauthentic activity, including by foreign threat actors. #Cdnpoli #CdnpoliYearInReview #goodbye2022
Feb/22 #NevrePoilievre officially launched his “prime minister” bid using #FluTruxKlan op, even though we’d just had an election months earlier & O’Toole was still #CPCldr.

Sen. #TedCruz is warning that the #RespectForMarriageAct could allow states like #NewYork, #Massachusetts & #California to legalize #ChildMarriage & then force other states to recognize child marriages as legitimate. He even introduced an amendment to prevent this atrocity. /1
Sen. Cruz appears to be unaware that his home state of #Texas still allows child marriage, while New York and Massachusetts each banned it in the last year. /2
And he seems to be unaware that 43 U.S. states still allow child marriage, and that a marriage that happens in one of those states must be recognized as legitimate in every other state. /3

2/ In the above picture, Kimberly and Felix Rubio are pictured with Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX).
3/ Kimberly and Felix Rubio are the parents of Lexi, who was murdered along with 18 other students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School on 25 May 2022 in Uvalde, Texas. There were also 18 others wounded.
It’s noteworthy #NevrePoilievre marched with ubiquitous & extremely dodgy character, Paul Alexander. Many have heard his name by now, but it’s important to note how Alexander keeps turning up. He wasn’t just a Trump appointee, he was handpicked by Michael Caputo. #Freedumbers
Michael Caputo created controversy, even within the Trump administration. Caputo has ties to both Putin & Roger Stone. So how he came to personally pluck Alexander, an obscure part-time instructor in 🇨🇦, to help him bully scientists at #HHS, is still a mystery to me. #cdnpoli
Paul Alexander shows up again & again. He was a central figure in #FluTruxKlan 1, & shows up again in #CoupTruxKlan 2.0. #cdnpoli #FreeDumbConvoy

The ironic and inevitable consequence: Racial and Ethnic Violence. Those dissimilar identities that predate Nationalism will not bend a knee. They will refuse to be nationalized, de-negrofied, Putinized.
They will resist.

2/ Having evaluated Ted' Cruz's body language for over a decade, one thing is clear in this moment: The facial expression Ted Cruz is expressing in this moment is one of his very few default faces.
3/ When a person has very little facial expression variation (lots of repetition) one of the first things that should spring to mind is, "Is this person a sociopath/psychopath (Antisocial Personality Disorder [APD])? The answer is with significant possibility, "Yes".
'Kremlin Cruz' slammed for his ignorance about Russia after the Texan's latest tantrum
He complained about being labeled #KremlinCruz by MSNBC's Williams for sharing Russian propaganda
#TedCruz said it couldn't be true, because he hates communists.

Ted Cruz wrote in his brief: “obscene devices do not implicate any liberty interest.” And its brief added that “any alleged right associated with obscene devices” is not “deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions.

Adding another tweet about how much of creep Cruz is adds zero content to the conversation.

3. The jokes about Cruz inverting roles with Mexican refugees is fine but inaccurate: he doesn't come from a privileged Mexican family. He comes from a privileged Cuban family, Batista people, complicit with the murder of the Cuban people.
Abbott is pushing a lie to protect incompetence. There is no Federal oversight of the Texas Grid, ergo fewer regulations (sound familiar) - so point one: state legislature needs reform. 2/
2. Point 2: there were clear signs the grid would get overloaded under extreme cold conditions. Why? Due to a vacuum of regulations mandating winterization of turbines and power generators. This from sources, in Texas!
3. Point 3: Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal and gas fired plants. Power generators were just not winterized. Decisions to do so have been ignored since the 1990s.

So many of the GOP Senators (e.g. #Graham #TedCruz, #Hawley, etc.) were complicit in Trump's Big Lie and the instigation and provocation of insurrection, we need to DEMAND their recusal from the Impeachment Trial.
If they won't, we need to charge as conspirators.

@RepNancyMace You and your party calling for UNITY and all is a LAUGHABLE dog whistle for you to invoke your privileges. Have you considered the Brown and Black people that have fell victim of such heinous acts of violence that are now dead? It is safe to say they wish you were
singing this same song prior to the police, etc...…destroying/.taking their lives! #cnn @cnn, why do you keep allowing the @gop use of your broadcasting airwaves to push their dogmas on us as if we should all NOW unite and don't fuel the fire. @RepNancyMace ask #EugeneGoodman
what he thinks of your call for UNITY and Calming the flames. As a representative, we want you to hold the perps responsible for attacking our Capitol. We also want an investigation of those in public service (Congressman, Officers, Gov Employees, etc) that was involved. #USNews

On July 1, Senators Kirsten #Gillibrand, Senator Chuck #Grassley & Senator Ted #Cruz announced they will offer the bipartisan #Military Justice Improvement Act as an amendment to this year’s National #Defense Authorization Act. gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/rel… #NDAA #MJIA #PassMJIA
From Senator Gillibrand's press release: "The Military #Justice Improvement Act would professionalize how the #military prosecutes serious crimes by moving the decision over whether to prosecute them to independent, trained, professional military prosecutors." #MJIA #PassMJIA
"Despite years of Congressional reforms, thousands of service members are raped & sexually assaulted every year. In many of those cases, the assailant is someone in the survivor’s own chain of command." -- #military #MST #MilitarySexualTrauma #MJIA #PassMJIA
Just think of this South Carolina @thestate @harrisonjaime a president in the USA is silent about a true enemy of the state Russia puts a bounty on American soldiers to the Taliban. @LindseyGrahamSC spends Sunday GOLFING with that president at his exclusive golf course.
So get ready for Lindsey @senatemajldr and the rest of the @SenateGOP to be quiet once again. @dallasnews @HoustonChron @elpasotimes @TexasTribune why are your Senators missing in action? #TedCruz #JohnCornyn
