Milo Yiannopoulos is now selling those "Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong" shirts (for $40??):
Last time one of these shirts was spotted in the wild, a few months ago in Portland:
You know who else is making cash money off of "Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong" swag? @amazon!

Here's what we know about the American arrested in Moscow on espionage charges:

1. His name is Paul Whelan.
2. The arrest came a week after Putin said Moscow wouldn't retaliate for Maria Butina.
3. That's about it.

Worth noting that this month Putin was asked directly about potentially following the China-Canada-Huawei precedent (and said he ruled it out): thinkprogress.org/moscow-announc…
State Dept. finally issues statement about arrest of alleged American spy in Moscow, requests consular access: newsweek.com/american-paul-…

‘Is @DrJillStein a fellow traveler or a useful idiot?’ nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna9…
Glad this piece (from Sept. 2016) on all of @DrJillStein’s Kremlin-friendly decisions has held up well: intersectionproject.eu/article/russia…
‘Stein and her presidential campaign have largely refused to cooperate with the Senate’s own investigation into Russia’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 election.’ thinkprogress.org/russia-jill-st…

That time George Washington “engaged in the popular, if technically illegal, custom of intoxicating local voters” to win his first election (to the House of Burgesses):
“Only a little more than a third of Washington’s slaves enjoyed the luxury of living with their spouses and children.”
“It is hate to imagine anything that more starkly contradicted Washington’s stated policy of preserving slave families than raffling them off in this public manner.”

Time to update you nerds on my eCom store.

For those wondering - my store is around where @SCHM7DT's was at a few months ago.

I can't think of a great hook, so if you're into eCom or online business in general, read this mini thread so you can learn immensely from where I'm at.
1. I've upped my advertising game

I stopped running the ads myself and hired an expert.

Best money I've spent in a while. Multiplied my profits.

Remember - if you have an offer that converts - hiring an advertising expert is like buying money.
2. I now have faster fulfillment

I'm tired of the AliExpress long ass shipping times, so I hired a sourcing agent to cut my costs by about 20% and the shipping times by 50%

There's literally no downside to this once you hire the right guy.

Now that we’re 24 hours on Facebook press cycle and 7% stock drop yesterday, I want to point something out clearly. The NYT investigation was incredible in its sourcing (employees rightly starting to talk) and new details (hello, Yandex). But it’s not what matters (more shortly).
Facebook’s second blog post yesterday and its “friends” yesterday took aim at narrow issue of NYT reporting on integrations w Netflix, Spotify, etc and that being in line with expectations. Whatever. Not the story. Distraction to discredit NYT report overall and confuse issues.
Because of the debates on “selling data” and focus on FB’s blog post narrative, everyone is in danger of missing why the stock dropped 7%. It dropped because of DC AG lawsuit narrowly and convincingly laying out the facts of the original story which crushed the stock in March.

Hey, remember back in July, when Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview that Holocaust denial was just a difference of opinion?

At the same time, an opposition research firm employed by Facebook was spreading George Soros conspiracy theories.
Y'know, the same theories that led to this man sending letter bombs to Soros and other liberal leaders. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
One of the things that historians are thinking through is what makes this moment different. Back in the '50s, you had folks like Gerald L.K. Smith trafficking in this kind of disgusting and vile racism and anti-Semitism, but he failed to capture a mass audience for his views.

At the #Portland rally today, Proud Boy and close associate of Joey Gibson Tusitala “Tiny” Toese is wearing a T-shirt once sold by a hate group.
The front of Tiny's shirt reads "PINOCHET DID NOTHING WRONG!" and on the sleeve it reads "RWDS," which stands for Right Wing Death Squads.
RWDS was a clothing company that was once the most popular white nationalist apparel outlet. The company designed and sold clothing based on numerous racist "alt-right" memes.

So I’m now in downtown Portland covering the Patriot Prayer rally and counterprotest. There’s a cop slowly driving a cruiser around the grass, stopping at times. A barricade system has been setup north of the Salmon Springs Fountain, just waiting for the crowd. #DefendPDX
Wouldn’t hurt to have a boat in the water in case someone goes over the waterfront’s railing and into the Willamette river 🤷‍♂️
#DefendPDX #AllOutPDX #Portland
Meanwhile: Police around the corner outside of central precinct, some are putting on riot gear for the upcoming Patriot Prayer event/counterprotest. There’s the police vehicles w the bumpers that the police will ride around on, too.

The 14th amdt turns 150 years old this year on July 9. It is the closest we’ve come to writing into the constitution what we claimed in the Declaration of Independence. If you’re forced to pick one, choose the 14th - above the 1st, the 2nd, or the FIF. Sorry Dave Chappelle.
2/x I’m using this as a thread to post one tweet a day about the fourteenth amendment until its 150th anniversary on July 9th. John Bingham, republican of Ohio, is credited as the principal author of Section 1 of the amendment, which contains its substantive rights provisions.
3/x I sort of lied when I said I would post one tweet per day until July 9th to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 14th. Some ideas don’t fit in one tweet. So let’s say one thread per day - short ones:
