When the Saudi regime sends their trolls, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems. They’re bringing idiots, they're bringing morons. Their dumbasses. And some, I assume, are good people.
I'm gonna collect some of the more precious trolls in this thread. Such as this guy.
I mean yes they're not very bright, they can barely construct a sentence and they smell bad, but I still find some of those trolls charming
This one is my favorite so far. I'm gonna call him Peppy.

Beautiful people, this is my first truly free week in while. I'm hoping to recover and recharge. I'm going to go offline for a few days and will temporarily delete the Twitter app from my phone.
I'll try as much as possible to not know what's going on in the world. I hope nobody kills or disappears any of my friends (and nobody tries to kill me) in the meanwhile.
(I may end up retweeting a few work related tweets, regarding a few positions that are open at @Kawaakibi, but that's about it).

Wow. When @Netflix censors material on behalf of Mohammad bin Salman.
Many of us Arabs were very excited when Netflix launched its MENA division, because we thought this is a way in which we can bypass censorship. I guess there's the end of that.
Money always comes ahead of principles. Corporatism is a pillar of the structure of power that keeps us pinned down.

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

#Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman,suspected to have ordered murder of journalist #JamalKashoggi, launched unprecedented crackdown vs women’s rights activists in May. Those activists have been tortured & one has tried suicide 3 times google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @SherifaZuhur
Some of the activists (none of whom have been formally charged or given access to lawyers) have been subjected to psychological or physical abuse while in custody, including electric shocks, sexual harassment, sleep deprivation and beatings. #Saudi
“In one reported instance, one of the activists was made to hang from the ceiling, and according to another testimony, one of the detained women was reportedly subjected to sexual harassment, by interrogators wearing face masks.” amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #Saudi

The bodies of 2 sisters from #Saudi Arabia were found in Hudson river, bound together by duct tape at their waists & ankles. Rotana Farea, 22, & Tala Farea, 16 “had recently requested asylum in the United States.” nytimes.com/2018/10/29/nyr… h/t @rerutled
👆🏽reminded me of #Saudi woman Dina Lasloom,who tried to escape forced marriage by going to #Australia for asylum but was detained at Manila airport until uncles came,beat her,tied mouth,arms,legs w/duct tape & dragged her onto plane home google.com/amp/s/www.nyti… #GenderApartheid
Death of 2 #Saudi sisters is highly suspicious. I hope coroner’s report is issued soon. I lived in Saudi Arabia as a teenager & for past 16yrs have been writing about #genderaprtheid in Saudi Arabia. Treatment of women is outrageous. And too often ignored or diminished.

Glad #Saudi troll farms & their connection to Saudi regime have been studied. I’ve experienced plenty attacks for my writing on women’s issues in #Saudi & my opposition to #Yemen war: 1 of most coordinated came after #Jamalkhashoggi shared 1 of my articles nytimes.com/2018/10/20/us/…
In February, #JamalKhashoggi kindly shared the Arabic version of an oped I wrote for Washington Post about #MosqueMeToo which I started for Muslim women to talk about sexual harassment and assault in Sacred spaces, including Hajj in Makkah, #Saudi Arabia
Immediately after Jamal shared my column, i was inundated with one of the worst and most coordinated attacks by #Saudi regime trolls I have ever experienced. For days. It was a window into how much shit he and other Saudis who are critical got and continue to get.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

NEW: Mueller team focusing on flow of money from Russia into 2016 campaign. 3 oligarchs stopped & searched when private planes landed at US airports, incl their devices. Question: Did Russia use “straw donors” to secretly & illegally funnel money to Trump cnn.it/2Gvf8U6
This is good reminder that while Trump waves symbols like sending National Guard troops to "secure the border," Mueller is dealing with the real national security issue at our border: Russians and Russian money distorting & corrupting our country. Trump doesn't want to stop this.
😃"When [Russia] sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems & they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some–I assume–are good people" to paraphrase DJT😬
