Tech company efforts to go after gun rights activists at the center of the 3D-printed gun controversy continue to pick up. Now Shopify has terminated Cody Wilson's retail account without explanation. freebeacon.com/issues/online-…
First Amazon took down the servers that hosted CodeIsFreeSpeech.com. Then Facebook blocked all content which included links to CodeIsFreeSpeech.com. Now Shopify has shut down Cody Wilson/Defense Distributed's online storefront. freebeacon.com/issues/online-…
No law enforcement at any level has taken any action against CodeIsFreeSpeech.com or Cody Wilson/Defense Distributed's sale of CNC machines yet major tech companies are going after them anyway. I've seen very little coverage of this story, though. What gives?
Facebook is making up new terms of service in order to ban links to Codeisfreespeech.com and Shopify hasn't even bothered to explain what terms Cody Wilson's storefront violated yet nobody seems to be paying much attention to any of this. freebeacon.com/issues/online-…
There's endless coverage of the Sandy Hook truther having his accounts shut down but nothing on this far more aggressive censorship of far less offensive gun rights activists.

Who else got this weird email claiming to have contradicting information on @TabletMag's story on the Women's March but requiring an off-the-record agreement to share any of it? I've never seen anything quite like this before.
@tabletmag This is very unusual. I don't understand why they want me to go off the record if they have some sort of contradicting information. Heck, I didn't even write the piece. I didn't even tweet about it. I retweeted others who tweeted about it.
@tabletmag This is the weirdest attempt at damage control I've ever seen. If you have information that supposedly clears your client then you should share it publicly instead of trying to go off-the-record with every reporter who tweeted (or even RTed) the story. It makes no sense.

A Harvard student is being told to move out after her roommates, prompted by her MAGA hat, searched her room for guns and then complained to the landlord freebeacon.com/issues/landlor…
The landlord sided with the roommates despite assurances from local police that the guns are legally owned. freebeacon.com/issues/landlor…
The roommates say the presence of the legally-owned guns deprive them of "the quiet enjoyment of the premise to which we are entitled." The student says she is a domestic abuse survivor and wants guns for her protection. freebeacon.com/issues/landlor…

This is embarrassing for CNN.
Cuomo, who I believe is supposed to be a news anchor, mocking people who pray after an attack in California because we don't have strict enough gun laws is just embarrassing.
Whatever you think about the gun control debate, reporters attacking people's faith in a time of national tragedy so they can push a political agenda is just plain wrong.

THREAD on biz, human rights and tech. 1/ On this 70th anniversary of the UDHR’s adoption by UNGA, connecting dots from UDHR to tech today. UDHR-> ICCPR-> UNGPs-> GNI Principles-> #tech company human rights commitments, infrastructure, and decisions. #UDHR: un.org/en/universal-d…
2/ UDHR is unique in modern int'l political system (post-1648) b/c rights declared inherent in all people based on human dignity, not derived from god, a king or the state. For provisions that we relate to the tech sector today, see Articles 12 (privacy) and 19 (free expression).
3/ In the ICCPR, as one of the UDHR's implementing treaties, see Articles 17 (privacy) and 19 (free expression), which we similarly relate to the tech sector today. #ICCPR: ohchr.org/EN/Professiona…

DISEASED MIGRATNS FLOWN TO USA 4 TREATMENT
With both illegal & legal Third World invasion of USA, we have seen a sharp rise in diseases that were eradicated from the U.S. over 100 years ago, and some of them have never been seen before, such as chagas. rightoftheright.com/cdc-caught-fly…
According to F.A.A. flight data, a plane registered to the Center for Disease Control landed in San Diego to pick up diseased migrants at the border to fly them to Georgia where they will receive medical care paid for by the U.S. taxpayers
The CDC flight N71PG landed at Ft Benning, GA with its cargo of sick illegals, then flew back to its home base in Cartersville, GA. I think we will see many more flights bringing communicably sick illegals from the border to various military bases, then to hospitals in the area.

Here is a spreadsheet of all the senators who voted for Kavanaugh, along with the money they have been given by the "liberal" tech giants in Silicon Valley. Let me respond to a few questions I've seen posted about this. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
1. "What does it matter if these dollar amounts are so small?" Election law limits PACs to giving $10,000 per election cycle. In absolute terms, it's not a lot. But if it doesn't matter, why do corporations take such pains to do it? Clearly it has value beyond the raw dollars.
2. "Why aren't you posting what these companies give to Democrats?". Most political giving is configured to be roughly equal to both parties. But if I write a $1000 check to the KKK, it doesn't balance out if I write the same check to the NAACP. These are uniquely bad politicians

THREAD: 🔥🔥

1/ Lets explore a bit more on comments by David Coltart on Gukurahundi

@ali_naka @DavidColtart @LungaAB @larry_moyo @lashiasn @TichRay @GomoDubi @BitiTendai @mayor_justice @TembaMliswa @GNyambabvu @povozim @OpenParlyZw @TamukaKagoro77 @dewamavhinga @fortune27n
2/ Yesterday, I said I WELCOME @DavidColtart 's comments. He is right.
But he must go beyond just Gukurahundi when it comes to atrocities, he must also demand the truth about atrocities against our people, which he @DavidColtart participated in @ZimMediaReview @Wavhiya
3/ This is what Coltart said: "These were not excesses, crimes against humanity in which Mnangagwa played a critical role".

I agree with Coltart.

But, I also await his strong statements on crimes against humanity committed by him & other Rhodesians for decades till 1980.
