This is just the latest in a 40 year record of extra-territorial terrorism. When I described Islamic Republic as the single largest exporter of violence on a daily basis in the world in intv w/ @SecPompeo, this is an example of what I had in mind. wsj.com/articles/four-…
This isn’t new or surprising. IRGC does what it was built to do: nytimes.com/2011/10/12/us/…
“How convenient: Just as we embark on a presidential visit to Europe, an alleged Iranian operation and its ‘plotters’ arrested,” Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister, said Monday on Twitter. “Iran unequivocally condemns all violence & terror anywhere,
and is ready to work with all concerned to uncover what is a sinister false flag ploy.” And the last Administration thought they could trust this guy and his government.

I was at the breakfast briefing and this is the top line from ⁦@AmbJohnBolton⁩ (pretty sure 99% accurate thanks to colleagues with recorders): “A lot of the press coverage about the decisions on Syria kind of missed what the president had in mind.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“And certainly encompassed in that is it’s very clear we’re going to withdraw, we want protect american forces during the withdrawal period. But the president also expects we woyld be able to accomplish the destruction of the ISIS territorial caliphate
and other ISIS personnel and facilities that r potentially dangerous to us as we leave.
It’s also very important that as we discuss with members of the coalktion, other countries that have aninterest like isreal and turkey that we epxect that those who have fought w/us in Syria

Earlier this AM, @AmbJohnBolton told journalists traveling w/ him re timetable for w/drawal from Syria that “this is a cause and effect. Timetables or the timing of the withdrawal occurs as a result of the fulfillment of the conditions and establishment of the circumstances we
want to see.” In response to question re legal authority for maintaining US troops at Tanf, @AmbJohnBolton replied “Well I think there’s plenty of legal justification about concern for the resurgence of ISIS. But I’m a strong believer in Article II, and I think what that means is
the president has full authority to protect American and allied interests around the world.” @AmbJohnBolton also commented on passing of fmr SecDef Brown: “He was a great patriot who devotes most of his life to public service. You don’t have to agree w/someone all the time to see

From one of military buddies: "A couple points to consider about the Chang'i 4 landing. One, China's space program is controlled by the Party and by their military. There is no civilian aspect to it.
Second, the southern and norther poles of the moon are critical for a number of reasons. One is that there is water there in the form of ice in the permanent shadow of deep craters. This water will be important for building permanent bases on the moon.
Third, the poles are important military positions because there are places at the poles that can always look down on the earth with sensors and weapons. China's landing at the southern pole at the Aiken Basin is a key military strategic achievement.

I had someone reply to this tweet telling me that Stephen Miller wrote that op-ed. My reaction? Kavanaugh's name is on it & while I know terrible people are orchestrating damage from the WH, they may well be gone in 2 yrs. Kavanaugh will not. /1.
During the first year of the Trump admin, I can't tell you how many people in my mentions referred to Steve Bannon as "President Bannon." Yet Bannon is now gone and the real president is still there -- abusing the citizenry & our democracy on a daily basis. /2.
Since 2015, Never Trumpers, w assistance from Dems desperate to make nice w Repubs, presented Trump as extraordinarily awful. Look, don't get me wrong - he IS. But so are those standpoint Repubs who lionize conservative values. Because they're united on conservative policy. /3.

(1) This thread shall serve to describe the various actors participating in the #DHS-funded #terror operations, which are coordinated through #ThreatFusionCenters. Federal, State and Local Agencies, in coordination with mercenary organizations & civilians.
(2) These agencies and actors comprise what I refer to as the "National Security Racketeering Network," and are involved in terrorizing individuals & groups the #DeepState has deemed to be threats or "Domestic Terrorists" for profit.

This equates to domestic #WarProfiteering
(3) #NSA #DIA #GIA are remotely & warrantlessly tracking & targeting innocent Americans, via their #Biometric signatures. The positions of US citizens are relayed to #FusionCenters for the sole purpose of harassing anyone on the #DeepState #DOJ #DHS #FBI #JTTF hit-list.

The Warsaw Uprising started #OnThisDay in 1944.

It was a major World War II operation by the Polish underground resistance, led by the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from German occupation.
The uprising was the single largest military effort taken by any European resistance movement during World War II.
In 1944 Poland was occupied by Nazi Germany for almost 5 years. The Polish Home Army planned some form of rebellion against German forces. Germany was fighting a coalition of Allied powers, led by the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK “…so the date @Womans_Place_UK event feels like a concerted effort to make #trans ppl, & particularly #transwomen, feel #intimidated and #invalidated” Is it the position of SN that the sensitivities of #transwomen mean that #democracy should be suspended any time they say so?

here is what I am scared of

I am scared that US economic collapse is a historical inevitability due to structural weaknesses in almost every aspect of society, and with it will go the best chance for genuinely new human capabilities for at least a century
new technologies are extremely capital intensive. robots are fucking _hard_ you guys. they could make life so much better for so many people, they are the longest possible economic lever that has ever existed.
but let me tell you, the first everyday deployments of robots will be subsidized by wealthy people

and when wealth disparity, as one of many factors, causes the entire thing to fucking implode, nobody is going to work on robots, they will be too busy trying to stay alive
