I think it should be noted here in no uncertain terms, when a genocide was unleashed against Iraqi Yezidi, Jeremy Corbyn's official policy position was to refuse the military assistance that ultimately saved their community from total extermination.
Military intervention is difficult, dangerous & has a cost in blood. But sometimes those decisions need to be made to protect human life. The decision to intervene to save Iraq's Yezidi population was justified. To praise a survivor after refusing to help save her life is galling

RT correspondent, a fully grown man paid to deny the Assad regime's war crimes for the Russian government, is accusing me of writing a statement on behalf of a displaced Syrian teenager because I translated his Arabic op ed for the i Paper 6 months ago
How much did @dancohen3000 agree to sell his soul for? How much does the Russian government pay you to mock, denigrate, dehumanise and deny agency to children facing indiscriminate bombardment from Russian jets? How do you sleep at night?
Read Muhammad's words. He emailed me them in Arabic & I translated them into English. The Kremlin is paying Dan to attack & silence this child. They want to deny him the agency to protest the Russian jets that bombed him out of his home & killed his family

Despite how actively I’ve called out Novara for the propaganda they have put out in the past, Ash Sarkar defending defacing one of the last remaining walls in the Warsaw ghetto is as low as it gets. Novara has become a bulwark of defending antisemitic behaviour from the left.
Novara Media, in particular Michael Walker, Ash Sarkar and Aaron Bastani have created an institutionally antisemitic media outlet purely to defend the Corbyn project. Whether they personally hate Jews is irrelevant, their actions are actively facilitating & enabling Jew hatred.
The last time I said this, Aaron Bastani publicly threatened to sue me. I have lawyers waiting for his letter of intent. I will not be silent in the face of racism and I will not be bullied or intimidated by legal threats.

So... are we just not going to say anything about all the frequent media commentators that pushed disinformation on the Salisbury poisonings for months? No? We're not going to ask them about the conspiracy theories they were disseminating & whether they will retract & apologise?
Craig Murray wrote conspiracist drivel and implied Israel might have been behind the Skripal poisoning. The issue is these people don't know what investigative journalism is, they can't tell it apart from opinion pieces or disinformation.
They spent months scoffing at & undermining real journalists who had been reporting the story accurately. Then they throw their hands up in the air when stuff like this happens, refusing to take any responsibility for the role they are actively playing in undermining public trust

Why the ⁦@GOP⁩ ⁦@ChuckGrassley⁩ ⁦@OrrinHatch⁩ ⁦@senjudiciary⁩ are fast tracking and acting like thugs, by essentially using extortion for Dr Ford’s appearance?
Simple since Monday Kavanaugh has fallen off the cliff, upside down #s usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Women by double digits believe Ford's accusations:
35% to 21% = 14+ points

Men by nine percentage points believe Kavanaugh's denials,
37% to 28& = 9+ points

Women OPPOSE Kavanaugh confirmation by 20+points, 43% to 23%
men support him by four points,
40% to 36%
It should be noted that on Monday Kavanaugh’s support was as 33/34
In 4.5 days he’s lost and is now -9 under Watss in the blended number

In light of revelations about retiring Justice Kennedy's son & his possible role in financing Trump's family while at Deutsche Bank, this 3-part investigation by @whowhatwhy is a MUST read. The names revealed within tie all the headlines together.
"Recent media reports confirm Deutsche Bank has been subpoenaed for records in relation to ongoing Russia collusion investigation. This development immediately raises questions: "
"Chiefly, what did a certain bankrupt but ambitious American real estate developer have in common with predatory Russian oligarchs who had been plundering their own country’s industry and generating vast currency flows out of their homeland since the 1990s?"

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...
208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.
209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...

In the 1920s, the National Revolver Association, the arm of the @NRA responsible for handgun training, proposed regulations later adopted by nine states, requiring a permit to carry a concealed weapon, five years additional prison time if the gun was used in a crime...
...a ban on gun sales to non-citizens, a one day waiting period between the purchase and receipt of a gun, and that records of gun sales be made available to police.
The @NRA assisted Roosevelt in drafting the 1934 National Firearms Act and the 1938 Gun Control Act, the first federal gun control laws.

In a detour from my usual content programming, I want to clear up some misinformation surrounding LambdaConf 2017 propagated by a few radical political extremists. 1/22
In 2017, @edlatimore delivered a heartfelt, vulnerable, and inspiring keynote on facing fear (a major impediment to learning). He was unpaid, & freely volunteered his time. 2/22
I found a lot of value in the keynote, as did the majority of other attendees, including one Sonia G., who even live-tweeted several times how inspiring the keynote was. 3/22
