Real News:

@Zara, the maker of the First Lady’s flak jacket, has been accused of habitually marketing Nazi-themed attire and was sued three years ago for a corporate culture their attorney found brimming with racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and homophobia. courthousenews.com/bias-suit-pain…
Remember when Trump tweeted out a photo of Hillary Clinton on a background of money calling her corrupt with a six-pointed star, claiming it was not a Star of David but a “sheriff star”?

Zara used the same excuse for kids’ pajamas resembling concentration camp uniforms.
For my Turkish followers:

Zara’s the same chain where exploited workers reportedly walked into their store in Istanbul attaching tags saying, “I made this item you’re going to buy, but I didn’t get paid for it.”

Prosecutors claim that indicted attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya fabricated supposed findings from a mutual legal assistance treaty. @PeteBrush dug up that Russian MLAT, and it's signed by "S.A. Karapetyan."

A top Russian prosecutor with that name died in a copter crash last year.
Just as prosecutors allege, the Russian MLAT clears itself and vilifies an "Investment Company" throughout, in particular, Bill Browder's Hermitage Capital.

Here's a story on the death of Karapetyan, whose name matches the one on the doc's signature. rferl.org/amp/russian-pr…
It should be noted that figures connected to the Prevezon case, believed to be tied to Russian organized crime, have a habit of encountering misfortune.

After Magnitsky's death in a Moscow prison, his family's attorney survived a four-story fall from his Moscow apartment.

In which attorneys for an accused Russian troll farm - an actual fake news operation founded by a man nicknamed "Putin's chef" - cry foul on reporters accurately quoting a federal judge. ⬇️
(Note: Despite my ironic usage of the phrase "fake news" in relation to Concord Management, the more accurate phrase for the outfit would be disinformation mill, as "fake news" is a meaningless propaganda term.)
Meanwhile, rebuked by a Trump-appointed judge, Concord Management's defense team carries on with its legal strategy: trolling-so-hard.

Their latest missive:

🚨 MAJOR: Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian attorney in the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, charged with obstruction of justice in the Prevezon case.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said she fabricated evidence.
Remember when Donald Trump, Jr. claimed that he "mostly talked about adoptions" with Veselnitskaya at the Trump Tower meeting?

That's Russia's response to sanctions over the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a key figure in the Prevezon case.

Background: courthousenews.com/judge-enforces…
The sealed indictment was docketed on Dec. 20, 2018.

You can find the unsealed 18-page indictment here. documentcloud.org/documents/5677…

Three years ago, when North Carolina passed HB2, trans people pointed out that it would lead to trans women being assaulted in bathrooms, and not the assault of others in bathrooms by trans people.

This is exactly what is happening.
Welcome to First Vigil, bitches.
Also can people in Wake County, NC stop doing bigoted things your county's court website sucks.

Three years ago today I started dying. Not in the sense that "we're all dying," but dying really fast and really hard.

Ask me anything.
I'd planned to take my account private to discuss this, but then realized I'm just a hat that isn't white, so discussing it openly probably won't derail my future Supreme Court nomination.
What happened to me is this: I acquired a highly aggressive internal infection, which attacked my liver and went on to attack my kidneys. That I liked beer (I really liked beer) didn't help. I was a functioning alcoholic at the time.

Found out an old friend passed away. A good woman. A kind soul.

We worked together years ago.

She was a veteran who’d seen it all.

I was brand new and more than a little over my head.

She was patient and kind and funny with the dry, intelligent wit of someone well read.

We only worked together for about a year but stayed friends long after.

When last I saw her three years ago, she had just been diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s.

Not long after, her family moved her closer to them.

She lost her ability to speak and write.

It was a brutally unfair decline.

Gone in mere months was the person whose posts I always looked for...

Gone were the occasional posts of Anne Sexton poems with my name tagged in.

She had a knack for finding the rare uplift in Sexton’s otherwise heavy lines.

Three years ago, I went from a hugeco to a tinyco startup. The lessons I have learned on the way are many. Here are but a few of the ones that really mattered:
Cash is king: even the snazziest startup can't function without cash. In a hugeco, cash matters but it magically arrives from the corporate treasury. In a tinyco, it comes from customers or investors and getting it is unbelievably difficult.

Treat cash like the oxygen it is.
Talent is right next to cash: you now know that cash is oxygen but without the right people, even a cash rich startup is toast. Getting rid of the wrong (sometimes very otherwise capable) people is critical as is getting the right people on board.

Never compromise on talent.

Three years ago I made a video series called Every Single Word where I edited down popular movies to only the words spoken by people of color. In honor of #BlackPanther I'm gonna re-share some of them here.
This is the entire Lord of The Rings trilogy. You can watch it in less than a minute.
This is Her, a movie set in a not-too-future Los Angeles.
