In your opinion, what was the most underreported story of 2018?
In my humble opinion, this was the most underreported story of 2018. We're just over a decade from global catastrophe, and I'm just not seeing the sense of urgency this deserves from most politicians or the media.

I'd still like to know your pick too! Include a link if you can.
The continued rise of white nationalism.

American media's near nonexistent coverage of the war in Yemen is nothing short of journalistic malfeasance.

It's both bizarre and terrifying how a story of this magnitude could be so underreported. I haven't seen it on the news at all. This is the most comprehensive article I could find on what China is doing to its Muslim citizens.

While Republicans are pretending the word motherfucker is offensive, I'd like to remind everyone that it's the one year anniversary of Trump calling Africa and Haiti shitholes. Conservatives stayed silent, but this video shows what being an ally is all about. Thx @andersoncooper.
Reminder: this was Tucker Carlson's reaction to Trump's shithole comments. An outright defense of racism.

Stop letting the Right control the convo. While the media is wondering if Dems are moving too far left due to the green new deal, white nationalists are celebrating Trump's GOP.

Which were the twitter accounts that informed you, challenged you, or made you laugh the most in 2018?
What was the funniest tweet or most informative thread you came across in 2018?
I really do appreciate you all. I haven't been on here for long, and I'm still finding my place, acting a fool, learning, and trying to be as informative as I can all at once. I just wanna be the Mr Monopoly to your C-span. lol. xo.

Border agents have thrown out 3586 jugs of water left for migrants in the desert.

They did this knowing that 7000 migrants have died attempting to cross.

THIS is why the death of Jackeline Caal, the 7yo migrant who died of thirst in US custody, should be referred to as murder.
As soon as they're sworn in, House Dems need to launch an inquiry into the private prison companies / Trump donors getting rich off migrant family separation. These centers are clearly lacking oversight, and these companies need to be held accountable too.
If you'd like to know more about the nonprofit group trying to prevent deaths at the border through humanitarian aid, check out @NoMoreDeaths.

@CyntoiaBrown having her sentence commuted is a very good thing. I am happy that she will be released in August to supervised parole. She will be on parole for 10 years. That will mean she'll have spent 24 years under state control by that time. I'm sorry but that isn't justice.
She's been locked up for 14 years when she shouldn't have spent a day in a cage. #SurvivedAndPunished. Here's her statement about her commutation: tennessean.com/story/news/201…
Over the past few weeks, more people have rallied around Cyntoia's case and I think that's really terrific. Grateful to all of those who wrote letters, made calls, kept her name in the press. ALSO, people in TN have been organizing around her case since at least 2008.

“Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is king.” I thought it might be interesting to look at where Premier League clubs source their money and what they spend it on by reviewing the clubs’ cash flow statements over the last decade. Some thoughts in the following thread.
In the 10 years between 2008 and 2017 Premier League clubs had over £8 bln of available cash with more than half (£4.3 bln) generated from their own operating activities and a further £3.4 bln from their owners (loans £1.8 bln and shares £1.6 bln) plus £0.3 bln external loans.
54% of cash came from operations (revenue less expenses +/- movements in working capital) with another 42% from owner financing and 3% from external loans. There was no need for any of the PL clubs to generate cash via (net) player sales or indeed dip into existing cash balances.

THE UNBELIEVABLE JAMES WOOLSEY
(from 9/11 to Turkeygate)

Who is James Woolsey?

Who is the man at the center of allegations that Gen Mike Flynn was planning to kidnap Muslim Cleric Fethullah Gulen and return him to Turkey?
2\

That was my original question. I was vaguely aware of the name “James Woolsey.” I knew he was CIA director once. Seen him interviewed a couple times on cable news. That was the sum of my knowledge.

So I started digging. And kept digging...and digging….and digging….
3\

What I found was hard to believe. This man who looks like your great-uncle Fred is the living, breathing embodiment of the military-industrial complex.

Over the next few tweets (actually more than a few tweets) I will list out my favourite crime fiction books of the year.
@LiamMcIlvanney's The Quaker was by far the best crime fiction book I read this year. It's set in Glasgow of the 60s. Has some brilliant prose and a twist at the end. Everything one wants in a good crime book.
If I was not such a great sucker for Scottish crime fiction, Attica Locke's Blue Bird Blue Bird, would have been the best crime book I read this year. This is a great example of how a crime book can be very literary as well. Set in Texas full of racism, with a black detective.
