Having been a victim of relentless harassment myself, I am not down with people showing up at anyone’s home. My opinion. But the coverage of this neglects to mention that Tucker’s website,The Daily Caller, doxxed me last summer. washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/11…
They knew full well that when they published the article about me, there would be harassment. There was no other reason to publish the article. For weeks, my family got death threats, including some against my children. There was no coverage of this.
There is a double standard with the coverage of Tucker Carlson here. Again, I don’t agree with people going to his home and involving his family. But his website has been responsible for similar tactics and this coverage should have mentioned that, too. It all needs to stop.

This year was a total shit show. So, just to stick it to ourselves one last time, we decided to relive 10 things which we either led, were a part of or were inspired by in 2018.

Just under the wire, this is...

THE SLEEPING GIANTS 2018 YEAR IN REVIEW
1) January saw Steve Bannon go from the title of "Racist Blog Manager" to just "Racist" as he was deposed from Breitbart after only a few months back on the job. Of course, we had nothing to do with this, but it's nice to relive again. Just because it is.
2) After a year and a half of us screaming into the void about it, Unilever finally came out swinging against @facebook and other social platforms refusing to address the hate and harassment on their platforms. Still a long way to go, but...a massive step.

Quick thread: No one is making these advertisers leave this show. The decision is theirs. They have had meetings and decided that, to appeal to the most consumers they can, it is probably foolish to continue to support a show that denigrates many of them. hollywoodreporter.com/news/tucker-ca…
At the same time, Fox is making its own decision. They have opted to continue the divisive, bigoted rhetoric with zero regard for the consequences. By tripling down on these comments, they have basically told their customers (advertisers) that they don’t care about their brands.
No one is making anyone do anything here. These are all calculated decisions. The free market decides which ideas work and which don’t.

THREAD: For over two years, we’ve asked @disqus and new owner @ZetaGlobal how Breitbart’s comment section doesn’t break their very clear Terms of Service.

They have only offered tepid excuses, changing their story every few months.
This is just a very small sampling of the thousands of comments that have appeared on Breitbart’s @disqus-powered comment section. They’re not just racist, they’re incredibly violent.

Breitbart only moderates them when called out by the press.
This is from the @disqus site and it was posted a week ago. How can they continue to ignore these clear and continued violations?

The actress who plays Mrs Maisel isn’t Jewish, and I’m sure she’s a lovely person, but I find that to be disappointing. To play a character so deeply rooted in a culture to which you have no historical or true community connection — and to cast an outsider to do so: 🙄
When I found this out from @niais I kind of thought I would still watch season 2, but then season 2 rolled around and I find that I am totally disinterested. I want Jewish actresses with big noses to get jobs. The terror of Hollywood’s rhinoplasty requirement is exhausting.
The hegemony of the rhinoplasty is so pervasive that I don’t think that Harrison Ford could have gotten to where he is in today’s Hollywood, not without a nose job to remove the visible evidence of his Ashkenazi heritage.

Hello, I am Edna Matta. I was born in #Ibague, known as #Colombia’s #CityofMusic. A beautiful place near snow-covered volcanos (Ruiz, Santa Isabel and Tolima), large expanses of paramo forest, lakes and streams where a diverse array of animal and plant species coexist
My story starts with #powerful, #strong #women in my #family. I was the third of 4 children and my mom #firstMentor had to raise us practically alone, since my father had to work in a different city, 20h away by car
My mom is a very #strong #woman that taught me #values, to #workhard and to be #self-sufficient #StrongWomen #StrongFamily

1. This thread examines Andy Ngo’s piece in the WSJ about his recent trip to the UK where he visited Muslim majority neighborhoods in London (Tower Hamlets, Leyton) & Luton (probably Bury Park) and the ensuing outrage.

3. I am deliberately not tagging any people or outlets in this thread because I’m looking to discuss, not send harassment their way. There is no need to tag Andy—I know him and will send him the thread via DM when I’m done.

Politicians used to avoid creating power because once created, it can be used by their opponents. First clue something is super wrong: They suddenly don't care. Every #POTUS from now on will have #SpecialCouncel. Goal: Destruction of public confidence in elected governance.
That's crushed tight in a single Tweet, so let's dig in a little. First consider deeply:
One of the biggest caps on the expansion of power in our history has been the goose/gander problem of politics. "If I grant myself this power, the other side will also have this power." Trying to create one-sided political power could be considered the holy grail of US politics.
