In case you were wondering, here’s what else that oppo research company Facebook hired — America Rising/Definers — has been up to this past year. Government and Facebook contracts all in one year, what a happy coincidence for them nytimes.com/2017/12/17/us/…
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph
Of course there’s a Koch connection in the mix politico.com/blogs/on-media…
Uh huh, uh huh, so they put “researchers” and private detectives on people to try to intimidate them. They did this shit to journalists, including @JaneMayerNYer who is hands down one of the greats. Now tell me again how pro-#1A you are, @facebook
And if you think they weren’t taking what they learned about people with Facebook’s data theft and using it elsewhere, like in the service of the political parties and candidates they worked for, well...I have this super nice bridge here to sell you
Just... astonishing politico.com/story/2018/07/…
Hahahaha fuck these people theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
Go ahead @facebook, try to pretend you didn’t know about this. Holy wow I’m angry
Haha I just bet they fucking are. Privacy for me but not for thee, right?

So anyway that’s what all your personal data is getting used for, great job all around guys

The only border crisis is that American forces are shooting tear gas at unarmed people, including children, over it into a sovereign nation with which we once had a strong alliance.

The humanitarian crisis is that asylum seekers are stranded and having their children taken away
And those children are now getting drugged and raped in detention camps without any oversight.

Regarding the NYE teargassing incident at the border, I just got this from a trusted photojournalist friend:

"i was there new years eve during the tear gas incident at the border. the border patrol used the tear gas BEFORE any rocks were thrown as the AP photographer said..."
in those pieces..... people were hiding next to the wall in silence and then gassed. i wasnt close to enough to witness the rocks being thrown so i cant confirm or deny that. but ZERO provocation before the gas for sure."
Again, this is someone I have worked with at the border and who I know and trust. I'm keeping his name out of it of my own accord to spare him potential harassment

Told you. wsj.com/articles/faceb…
"This summer, Mr. Kaplan pushed to partner with right-wing news site The Daily Caller’s fact-checking division after conservatives accused Facebook of working only with mainstream publishers, people familiar with the discussions said."
"Conservative critics argued those publications had a built-in liberal bias.

Mr. Kaplan argued that The Daily Caller was accredited by the Poynter Institute, a St. Petersburg, Fla.-based journalism nonprofit that oversees a network of fact-checkers."

Here’s some toxic patterns I’ve heard DSA members across the country experience in their chapters this past year:

1) martyrocracy: people who “do the most work” at great personal expense claim they should be leaders by virtue of having sacrificed the most of their lives
2) rule by withholding information: leaders use “insider knowledge” as the basis of their rule and control access to answers, making it impossible for anyone else to question their decisions. They, in turn, use this access to info to further justify their leadership.
3) Rule by Citation: leadership relies on a scant handful of Marxist scholars cited often by their intellectual leadership as orthodoxy and thus rule out the many thousands of other Marxist scholars as somehow less relevant, alienating Socialists from other traditions

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

So Just What is Going on at the EPA, re "Media Monitoring" and tracking of Agency Staff Who Have Questioned Pruitt. Let's take a look, with @LFFriedman nytimes.com/2017/12/17/us/…
EPA senior staffer Betsy Southerland, at a private lunch with EPA friends, criticizes Pruitt, remarks that were later made public. Within days, a GOP opposition research firm submits a FOIA request for her EPA emails. documentcloud.org/documents/4331…
Here is the FOIA that the GOP group associated with America Rising submitted for Southerland's records, and a tally of what they got in response.

1. The “Dossier” Fusion GPS is a commercial research/strategic intelligence firm based in D.C. co-founded in 2011 by Glenn Simpson, former reporter for Roll Call and Wall Street Journal. The dossier is the geometric center for the circle of filth.
2. Isn't it most peculiar that deputy AG Rod Rosenstein refused to answer if the FBI paid for the dossier? “I believe I know the answer, but the Intelligence Committee is the appropriate committee…”

3. If you don't know what I am talking about and would like to, carve out time to explore the complexities of this winding maze of depravity and treason. Be forewarned, its not for the mentally languid.
