In the past 24 hours, have you seen a single major media outlet report the truth, i.e. that the VAST MAJORITY of extremist violence comes from the far right? Because "both sides" doesn't work here, even if you can point to a handful of incidents by the left.

The facts follow...
Let's start with this chart:

THREAD (1/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

The 2020 Dem primary is going to be intense one way or the other. The stakes are too high for it not to be. Heading into 2019, we'll see lots of early maneuvering and skirmishes. That's fine, AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CHARACTER ATTACKS.
THREAD (2/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

A character attack directly impugns the honesty, integrity, and/or ethics of a candidate. Examples: Candidate X is a liar. Candidate Y is immoral. An issue debate is perfectly acceptable, i.e. Candidate Z is wrong on health care, the economy, etc.
THREAD (3/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

Neither #BernieSanders nor #BetoORourke have announced if they are running. Supporters of each should feel free to battle out the issues, BUT AVOID CHARACTER ATTACKS. We cannot afford to give needless ammunition to the GOP.

I'm watching Trump, Pelosi, and Schumer bicker about the budget and the wall. This spectacle is beneath the dignity of this country.
Of course I agree with the Dem position, but the fact that we're here is just sad.
For anyone misconstruing my tweet, I'm agreeing with what Nancy Pelosi said: "I don’t think we should have a debate in front of the press on this." The fact that Trump got schooled is a good thing. But the reality is that none of us should want that kind of spectacle.

Here's the context @MrAndyNgo strategically omits in his quest to make the #HimToo rally organizers seem like victims and the counter-protesters like the pink haired women in the video seem like the baddies. @RantingF @shoe0nhead @AntiFash Gordon
The organizers of #HimToo are Quincy Franklin/Anatello and Haley Adams. They are Christian Fundamentalists who believe in curtailing women's rights and LGBTQ rights and they think false rape accusations represent a problem of greater magnitude than rapists mostly walking free.
Only an average of 33% of victims report their cases to police according to the National Crime Victims Resource Center. Undetected rapists commit an average of 5.8 rapes each according to a 2002 University of Massachusetts and Brown University Study.

The only thing that puzzles me is why so many GOP leaders seem surprised by all this. Of COURSE the goalposts were moved after you gave up control of the process. Of COURSE the tiniest particles of dirt are now being dug up and thrown at Kavanaugh.
Rescheduling the hearing was taken as a sign of weakness by Democrats, and the starting gun on a mad race to dig up something, anything, everything that could even slightly taint the character of young Brett Kavanaugh.
Meanwhile, Ford is clad in the invincible armor of victimhood. Anyone who dug up and revealed a single negative thing about her college or high-school years would be ripped to bloody shreds for "attacking the survivor."

The incessant attacks against the #Media by Trump are dangerous and this is taking it to a whole new level.

We have seen our country take a nosedive into becoming "Fourth Reich."

United States of America is now running internment camps.

Our concern now is all the children who are in these camps.

➡️So, where did they come from & why did their parents bring them here?

So if less than 1% are from Mexico, why?

Reason - out of 195 countries:

El Salvador has 2nd highest rate of violent deaths.

Honduras has 4th highest rate of violent deaths.

Guatemala has 17th highest rate of violent deaths.

Here's a critique of the UK database entries of our Financial Secrecy Index, from a lawyer at Clifford Chance - one of the world's ten biggest law firms (per Wikipedia). And what follows is a response on the points raised.
To begin, we really value expert feedback. We had a nearly two-year review process before the Jan.2018 release, which we were delighted to find brought in a great many stakeholders, including experts, users and subject jurisdiction policymakers..
You can find more information about the methodology and review, including a statistical analysis by the European Commission's index experts, here: financialsecrecyindex.com/introduction/m…
