Here's what we know about the American arrested in Moscow on espionage charges:

1. His name is Paul Whelan.
2. The arrest came a week after Putin said Moscow wouldn't retaliate for Maria Butina.
3. That's about it.

Worth noting that this month Putin was asked directly about potentially following the China-Canada-Huawei precedent (and said he ruled it out): thinkprogress.org/moscow-announc…

‘Is @DrJillStein a fellow traveler or a useful idiot?’ nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna9…
Glad this piece (from Sept. 2016) on all of @DrJillStein’s Kremlin-friendly decisions has held up well: intersectionproject.eu/article/russia…
‘Stein and her presidential campaign have largely refused to cooperate with the Senate’s own investigation into Russia’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election.’ thinkprogress.org/russia-jill-st…

That time George Washington “engaged in the popular, if technically illegal, custom of intoxicating local voters” to win his first election (to the House of Burgesses):
“Only a little more than a third of Washington’s slaves enjoyed the luxury of living with their spouses and children.”
“It is hate to imagine anything that more starkly contradicted Washington’s stated policy of preserving slave families than raffling them off in this public manner.”

#China mines the rare earth minerals out of Afghanistan and the oil from Iraq. Two countries we spent TRILLIONS of dollars and thousands of lives in militarily and we get NOTHING while they reap the rewards. #WeWereSoldOut #BoiledFrogs #PanamaCanal #MissileTechnologyToo
China is raping Africa and taking over their continent by loaning them money they can’t repay and then forclosing. They mine 90% of all the rare earth minerals in Africa. Gates killed thousands via vaccines there (and here too). #WeWereSoldOut #BoiledFrogs #PanamaCanal
The World Bank loans China money interest free. As they did the US under Obama. Yet, they have now raised interest rates on the US 7 times since Trump took office to slow his explosive economic growth. Why? Because Obama agreed to submitting the US to China while we crumbled.

As a former journalist and a researcher of the relationship between #news and #socialmedia, I think I understand both sides of the argument over whether tonight's presidential address should be carried live. A few thoughts. #Thread
It's important to look at the decision in itself. Even if you think it violates precedent, and therefore is hypocritical, it may be that the previous decisions were the wrong ones and shouldn't be repeated.
For example, if I used to throw my trash out the car window, arguing that it kept prisoners busy doing litter pickup, that's clearly stupid. If I now know it's dumb and stop doing it, that is a greater good than my being consistent by still doing it.

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…

If any reporter intends to write anything about me, be sure to know what you're saying, & what I'm saying, & what the LAW is re: libel, slander, defamation, & free speech. I am not giving interviews. Everything I have to say is published here publicly for all to see @POTUS #QAnon
@POTUS If you wish to ask me reasonable, respectful questions AFTER you bother to inform yourself on what I've already said, you may do so here, publicly. I will choose if I respond. Note that NO response is also an answer. Choose wisely. #ByePhoenicia #theGreatAwakening #QAnon @POTUS
@POTUS If this is too much to ask of you then you're not worth my time either, get it? #SayBraveThings
