I love how very few media outlets covered the anti-Iraq/Afghanistan War protests against W. Bush’s Biden-sanctioned Liberty Medal honor organized by veterans, on Veterans Day. Kind of seems like a big deal, if you ask me. It was organized by people who served during Bush’s term.
I guess the media was too busy worrying about whether or not Trump attends WWI-related ceremonies abroad to listen to veterans actually in the country.

🙄
It should bother more people when our media is willing to overlook every single bit of bad press that may reflect poorly on an establishment politician.
While there are veterans that actually served during W. Bush’s term and disagree with the choices he made back then, the media wants you to focus on him giving Michelle Obama candy at McCain’s memorial.

It’s insulting.

It’s time to talk about why @rkelly isn’t in jail.

A #SurvivingRKelly related thread.
Since @lifetimetv aired a 6 part documentary titled #SurvivingRKelly, we learned @rkelly:
—married a 15 year old
—repeatedly targeted teens
—has a network of support (including police)
—keeps his victims isolated and under his control, in groups
—still currently victimizes girls
Some say @rkelly runs a “sex cult,” but #SurvivingRKelly producer, @dreamhampton, tweeted that it operates “like a sex-trafficking ring.” Source: . A claim in a book about R. Kelly from an anonymous author & survivor also mentions “a sex-trafficking ring.”

Can we stick to criticizing the horrendous policy proposals Ocasio-Cortez makes instead of focusing on an irrelevant video she made in college?

I don’t understand how a random clip of @AOC dancing helps all of the poor and homeless Bronx residents she continues to ignore.
.@AOC spent her first day in Congress:
—pretending she was en route to a non-existent voting session
—supporting corrupt, establishment-hack Nancy Pelosi for Speaker
—pushing policies that don’t consider the actual constituents she was elected to represent
—being more of the same
If you want to effectively criticize politicians like @AOC, point out how unintelligent & ineffective their policy ideas are. Why focus on the dancing skills of Ocasio-Cortez in college when she can’t even tell @jaketapper how she would factor the cost of a Medicare-For-All plan?

At #SAS2018 earlier, I was introduced to @kenziehaddix, an Emporia State University student. She told me about her schoolmate, Michaela Todd, who is currently fighting to keep her position as student body VP because she said “illegal aliens.”

Insanity! insider.foxnews.com/amp/article/64…
Emporia State’s student body sought to impeach VP Michaela Todd for saying “illegal aliens.” They got backlash from donors & began to backtrack— until she went on Fox News. Now they’re so upset one made this art project attacking Todd. Her grade was 100%.
Student body VP says “illegal aliens.”

Her school tries to impeach her.

She explains her situation to Fox.

Her school then approves of an art project inaccurately depicting her as “racist.”

Did @emporiastate forget the term “illegal aliens” has been normalized for decades?

Take it from me, an ISIS expert - this Tweet will not age well. #Syria
For a (mere) glimpse of what I mean, just skim @jenanmoussa's comments on reactions from Northern #Syria and the Kurdish situation:
I'd like to remind you of some brief presidential milestones in recent Middle East history, from Reagan to Trump. #Syria #Iraq

Although the anti-IS camp managed to:
1. remove Haidar Abadi, the US candidate
2. selected the Speaker Mohammad Halbousi

It is incorrect to say Iraq is in the hands of #Iran.

Adel Abdel Mahdi is a potential candidate as a PM and is welcomed by both Iran and #USA. 1/+
#Iraq won't go against the #USA and will select, including the anti-US camp, a candidate that doesn't provoke the Americans.

The real problem is here: Will Iraq abide by the unilateral US sanctions? That is the real burden on the future PM.2/+

By removing Abadi, the US has lost a candidate that was not ready to balance the relationship between Tehran & Washington. That was the US biggest mistake in the last months, trying to impose Abadi (despite US denial). 3/+
