Many have been wondering if we have been writing a book to cash in like MenschClaudeBulshitStated
Well we have.
Here is a preview.
Available at a pizza place near you around xmas.
We had some writers block halfway thru that chapter 4 but we managed to finish the page.
The foreword of our book was graciously penned by a good friend of mine.

72/While they abandon over $11 billion in tax refunds because they do not qualify to get them.
While they do not qualify for a lick a federal benefits contrary to what some have been fed by the racist propaganda machine
73/ IMPORTANT TWEET🚨
How much tax dollars undocumented immigrants leave to every state ( they do not file to claim it) and how much tax revenue each state could benefit from if their status is adjusted. See for yourself. They abandon that money because they never file returns
NOW FLORIDA, where a lot of racists breed, derived the most revenue from taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. PS: Hi @marcorubio, how are those massage sessions on Wisconsin ave? you should leave a review.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/addin…

The mother of all immigration threads with Verifiable facts covering:
1/ 🚨There is no border crossing crisis🚨
Unauthorized Immigrant Total Dips to Lowest Level in a Decade
The decline is due almost entirely to a sharp decrease in the number of Mexicans entering the country without authorization.
Figures from @pewresearch
2/There were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2016, down from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007.
42% of these immigrants who have been in the country for over 5 years live in household with US CITIZEN CHILDREN.

The Stupident & @PressSec keep repeating that we stop 50 terrorists a week crossing the border ilegally. It is horse 🐴 💩.

state department declines, on average, 50 visa applications a week because of terror watch list, no fly list.. that is it, most planning to ✈️ in.
Now, if you needvfacts, about 50 people an hour cross into the United States with valid visa and overstay after their visas expires, making them out of status and “undocumented immigrants”

They come in using these:

Ugh. Trump lit Twitter on fire with this 14th amendment nonsense. Where/when did @realDonaldTrump say he would use an EO to repeal or otherwise override a provision of the 14th amendment? I see a lot of outrage about it but no source. Anyone? #TheGreatAwakening #QAnon #WWG1WGA
Generally, the bill of rights applies to what the States may or may not do to citizens w/in their state who are also under the jurisdiction of the United States. Meaning, states can't be more restrictive than the Constitution. It takes 2/3 majority vote to change the constitution
Before I get too deep into the weeds on this #14thAmendment #Constitution debate, I'll posit that @realDonaldTrump didn't actually make this claim as it's being represented, but rather he is looking for legal/Constitutional ways to overcome the HUGE PROBLEM of anchor babies.

Here's a guaranteed way for #Writing Contest Jurors to ruin an #emergingwriter's day: tweet to your followers (some of whom have to be thinking of entering the contest you're judging) that you're not a fan of certain kinds of stories, so maybe it's best if they "skip this one..."
...bc being an #emergingwriter isn't hard enough. It isn't hard enough that there already is a magical/frustrating subjectiveness and unpredictability to contests, and that entering one is an act of #faith, yet maybe your surprising story will be the one to enchant the jurors...
...nor is it a challenge to come up with the contest fee, which is usually significant, because you think your story's great and might have a shot, even though it's got #scifi or #specfic elements, because you've been inspired in the past by unexpected and genre-bending work...

#Writers! There's no #writingtip, blog post, book, or class that will save you from having to work hard. Those are all tools.

They're your boots, your backpack, and your bottle of water. They aid you on your journey, but you're still the one who has to do the walking.

(1/4)
And it can be a lonely road. So find a community to share your troubles with. Lots of people have walked the road before you, and many will be happy to guide you.

Many #writers wander into the craft with an idealistic mindset. I know I did. I thought it would be easy.

(2/4)
It's not easy. It takes hard work and and lots of failure. It takes being knocked down and getting back up. It takes time.

But think about it. If it were quick and easy, what would be the point?

The value lies in the challenge.

Writers: know how it’s super hard to write a novel? How you sometimes run into “can I do this?” or “is it worth it?” or “am I just faking at all this?”
Well, guess what: Editors go through it, too. 1/
I’m usually at a party, and someone asks what I do, and I’ll tell them “I’m a sci-fi and fantasy editor,” and their eyes light up (or, to be honest, sometimes they glaze over).

“That must be so much FUN!” 2/
And, for the most part, it truly is. I love my job. I love that I get to help writers with their works, not just to develop the story, but then get that story out to readers. It’s a lot of fun.

Until it isn’t 3/

Here's a thing: the people who are insistent that the sexual assaults being described by survivors are actually "just bad sex" seem pretty blase about the fact that (from their point of view) there's an epidemic of men giving sex so bad it leaves women traumatized and confused.
Imagine there was a pizza place whose delivery drivers, while not technically breaking any laws in a way that could be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, so thoroughly intimidated clients into large tips that some of those clients had to think about whether they'd been robbed.
There are four separate questions here:
1. Could they be convicted for it?
2. Are there laws against this?
3. Is it wrong?
4. Does anyone want to keep getting their pizza from this place?

Many of you don't know this about me:

When I was a still living at my roach-infested apartment, I also had NO idea where to start from, like many of you might feel now. IT IS normal.

So, what do you do?

Thread.
1st step: Brainwash yourself.

If you are 19, your subconscious is dominated by a belief system you've built through the course of your entire life.

It takes time to reverse the limiting effect of those beliefs and thought patterns.

3-12 months to alter your belief system.
2nd Step: Overtraining & Overexposure.

It took 2 months of reprograming to change my grounding beliefs, and limiting thought patterns.

I believed that "making money online cannot be a real thing"

The more I exposed myself to new ideas, the weaker that belief became.
