This guy seems nice. What's the over-under on Facebook taking action against his account, which I just reported?

Reminder: You have no reasonable expectation of privacy in threatening strangers.
Further reminder: If you send me abuse, I will out you. And that's a promise. No exceptions.
Update: Facebook's response.

This piece by @woodruffbets spins out what the White House lawyers and their allies imagine to be the mechanism by which they will stifle the Mueller findings, assuming they take the form of some kind of report that contains material plausibly covered by executive privilege.
Here is the simple reason why it won't work:
Even assuming that the executive privilege claims are valid and will be upheld and are sustainable in the face of the political pressure the administration will receive on the subject, and that is a heck of an assumption, executive privilege does not cover conclusions.

My question, @brithume, is what turns on this distinction you're drawing? The president has repeatedly said he had nothing to do with Russia--at a time he was endeavoring to build a large building there and Russian intelligence was hacking his political opponents.
At the very time he was calling on them to do so and praising Putin. At the very time his campaign staff and advisers were having meetings with Russian cutouts. Are you really contending that this is the sort of candor we should expect from our leaders?
Are you really contending that any of this is okay?

Today in pulp I'm looking back at the wonderful world of Olivetti!
Founded in 1908 Olivetti soon came to the fore as a typewriter manufacturer, before expanding into other products in the 1950s and 60s.
But what set Olivetti apart was its incredible focus on design as well as engineering: architects, graphic artists, printers and scientists worked side by side to develop the best products they could.

Here's my latest talk - Design & Power: A Political Playbook for Creative Leaders vimeo.com/298197873 - thanks @ldconf & @clearleft (link to slides in next tweet) #design #ux

A blind spot for designers and is overestimating the value of HCI knowledge. In any organization, it's mastery of skills in HHI (Human to human) and HGI (Human to Group) interaction that defines how effective you will be.

OK so here's what really happened to @JulianAssange today: #Ecuador court gave him a crap Internet link & even worse translator, but the judge pretended it was all because Australians can't understand English. #FreeASSANGE elcomercio.com/actualidad/aud…
(ht @LaFleurDelSur for link).
#ASSANGE even "tested out the translator to see how his remarks would be translated. He made several statements in English and then declared that the level of translation was insufficient. The judge then decided to suspend the hearing."
#ASSANGE lawyer Carlos Poveda said: "One of his concerns was that if he made a statement, it could be interpreted as a transgression of his special conditions. What a contradiction!"

Desde el 10 de diciembre de 2015 me armaron seis causas penales y todas ellas fueron radicadas en Comodoro Py. De las seis, cinco fueron iniciadas e impulsadas por Bonadío. ¿Milagro? No. ¿Fórum shopping?
Algo peor: decisión política del Poder Judicial -en su más alta expresión- en coordinación con el Poder Ejecutivo y los medios hegemónicos, para ungir a Bonadío como brazo de persecución contra mi persona.
Se inaugura así una nueva categoría jurídica que excede la del Juez parcial o “no Juez” que enseñaba Baigún: se trata del Juez enemigo, actor principal del #Lawfare.

NEW: The White House Communications Agency team that made the TRUMP-KIM JONG-UN coins also made coins with Mar-a-Lago on one side & @POTUS seal, WH & AF1 on the other. They scrapped plans for a Trump Tower/Bedminster coin when we started asking questions. nytimes.com/2018/06/24/us/…
The WH said TRUMP & his staff were not involved in the coins, which they say were paid for by individual White House Communications Agency staff. But watchdogs warn of rules barring gov't resources (emails, staff time, etc.) for promoting private business. nytimes.com/2018/06/24/us/…
Other fun trip coins produced by the White House Communications Agency team feature (1) the Pope and (2) Davos — with the tails sides of both featuring TRUMP & the @POTUS seal.

Is a mysterious British private spy firm linked to a series of “collusion” stings on the @realDonaldTrump team? Is HAKLUYT the "British Fusion GPS"?

(BIG) THREAD
The British end of the 2016 "sting" campaign against @realDonaldTrump is unlikely to get a mention in the first @JusticeOIG report from IG Horowitz, due out #soon. @DevinNunes @HouseIntelComm reports haven't focused on this potentially huge story much either. Let's take a look.
ALEXANDER DOWNER’S 2016 "chat" with GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS at the Kensington Wine Rooms about Cypriot JOSEPH MIFSUD & "Hilary emails" allegedly sparked the FBI's July 2016 counterintel investigation. DOWNER *initiated* that chat & even the @nytimes concede he may have been "fishing"
