All this fearmongering about border "invasions" puts me in mind of someone.

theinvestigativefund.org/investigation/…
Well, several someones, actually.

But Shawna particularly comes to mind. Because when you turn other human beings into verminous enemies, the result is always tragic.

The first video, FWIW, is the opening clip from Belgian filmmaker Sebastien Wielemans' superb documentary about the Minutemen, focusing on Shawna, "A Cycle of Fences":

And in case you are wondering what the Nirvana thing is about: Shawna liked to claim that she was a "grunge music promoter" who knew all the bands and had been personal friends with Cobain. Here's the whole story about that, from my book on the case:

Here's a shorter summation of the story.

Big news for my readers: It's with some sadness and some excitement that the new year will bring some career changes for me. I'm leaving the regular employ of @splcenter and joining the staff at @dailykos, where I will become their reporter specializing in extremism.
It's exciting because @markos and his team are gearing up to make @dailykos a major news operation, and it will be great to be part of that. Also, I can do some environmental reporting there!

FWIW, I will continue to write for @splcenter, just not as frequently or regularly.
I've been at @splcenter for over five years now, and am very proud of what we managed to achieve there.

If you'd like a retrospective on my work there, check out the Hatewatch YouTube channel sometime. I created all of these videos. It tells a tale.

There's a big problem with this story: Hillborn simply is wrong about the SRKWs' primary food source. Fraser River Chinook are their primary feed only in summer months.

mynorthwest.com/1217574/expert…
In the non-summer months, multiple studies have demonstrated that SRKWs primarily feed on salmon along the Continental Shelf. The No. 1 source of those salmon is the Columbia. SRKWs have been recorded multiple foraging at the mouth of the Columbia in the winter.
Here's a graphic representation of the data:

Ahahahahahaha. I missed this in our exchange last week.

Let's do a compare-and-contrast, shall we, @caitoz? I'll list the pieces I've done attacking Trump and his followers, and then you can do the same, and we'll stack 'em up, OK?
First, there's this. It's 400 pages long.

Then the piece I cowrote with Sarah Posner for Mother Jones. This, BTW, is known as _investigative journalism_ (the real thing) and took us eight months to assemble.

Under oath today, it was made public, that there is an open and ongoing FBI criminal investigation, through the Little Rock FO of the FBI into the Clinton Foundation.
This photo was leaked a few months back by a DJ in Little Rock of the @FBILittleRock raiding the Clinton Foundation. Today in the hearing this photo was reference that this was indeed the raid of the CF. I implore everyone to watch the the hearing today
What I heard today was a lot more compelling to me than what I was expecting. A 6000 page probable cause submission given the detail of the forensics these guys undertook makes me a little more optimistic.

Yoo hoo @nigel_farage! It's "new caller Claire from Ashford here". You let me on to talk about patriotism & British laws. But hung up when I asked how that applied to @arron_banks. What's going on m8?
Instead you send me this billet doux. You're "talk" radio, remember. Yet you won't give me an interview. Won't talk to me on air. Won't answer questions on the FIVE yes FIVE serious & criminal investigations going on into the man who funded your campaign..
..you call me, what was it, oh yes "a ranting conspiracy theorist". But I think you may have overlooked the 2 NCA investigations into @arron_banks, the one by the Met police, the ICO, the FCA...and now MUELLER! I know it's not Guido but some details below

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

Peter Strzok is about to testify before the House. This will be a complete and utter shit show. Follow me for a video thread.
.@RepGoodlatte begins with a rant completely ignoring the IG's conclusion that FBI agents' private anti-Trump views had no bearing on how the Clinton investigation was handled.
.@RepJerryNadler begins by wondering why House Republicans are holding *another* hearing about Hillary's emails instead of investigating family separations or Trump's repeated efforts to meddle in the DOJ or doing any real oversight work at all.
