Journalists who manufacture controversy that undermines trust set my teeth on edge. First Facebook in 2016 and now Twitter in 2018. Russia must be LOL.
Disdain in equal measure for the trolls who think they have a right to spoil the commons.

Reminder from 2017:
“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Seems relevant to that quote on privilege:

Excellent analysis of "FACT" and Whittaker from #TPM

Whitaker's op-ed was "highly critical of a candidate, and he ought not to be doing that, because it’s a political partisan comment."

Whittaker founded his Section 501c3 NFP in 2015.
talkingpointsmemo.com/news/whitaker-…
Section 501c3 tax code prohibits non-profits "from supporting or opposing political candidates during a campaign." But "FACT" under Whittaker did that more than once.
"in 2016 [Whitaker] earned more than twice what leaders of similar groups were paid on average that year"
Charity Navigator is our friend, not his.
His THREE-person board of directors that included just one unsalaried member.

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State/Gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp has a three-year history of ignoring elections security, which makes his Sunday accusation about the state Democratic Party even more suspect.
themoderatevoice.com/brian-kemps-ha…
"Brian Kemp is both overseeing the governor’s election, as a secretary of state, and running in that election, as the Republican nominee. And he’s behaving shamefully."

"perhaps the most outrageous example of election administration partisanship in the modern era"

Deconstructing Trump on Lee and Grant (image) - comments made at Ohio political rally
cnn.com/politics/live-…
FACT: Robert E. Lee was a slave owner who chose to lead a traitorous rebellion. He supported a war designed to keep humans enslaved via an economic and social system of white supremacy.
Trump’s Lost Cause frame on Robert E. Lee was not scripted, so this appears to be what Trump believes (or at least holds in his head)

So #Facebook & #Instagram (second time in 3 weeks) deleted my accounts. For sharing information about #Kashmir. No explanations or replies to my questions are given. Of course this is not about Facebook, nor about me, but the much more dangerous path SM is taking.
It is all about Justice & about what is happening to many people living under oppression & facing severe surveillance & suppression on the ground and even online.
It is about principals & rights. Human rights. Enshrined in statues & bragged about. Said to be universal. Said to be
I don't know ONE Kashmiri who hasn't been subjected to some form of censorship. On the ground there are far worse consequences than removed posts. Journalists (and MANY civilians) have been trashed, arrested & targeted when covering human rights violations by India.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
