We'd encourage everyone to read this chilling piece on Dominic Cummings by anthropologist @WillBlackWriter- You'll begin to understand how and why Cummings concentrated his campaign's resources on a 7m section of the electorate and why they cheated
medium.com/@willblack_532…
Now here's Cummings dressing up what they did, in the 2016 EU referendum, with psychobabble, masking the fact that they lied and cheated their way to victory and fooling the unwary into swallowing Vote Leave's bullshit - no wonder he wouldn't appear before the @CommonsCMS
Very little of what Cummings says stands up to scrutiny, here's a small selection of him being demolished during his Treasury committee appearance - another reason he refused to appear before the @CommonsCMS hearings.

NEW - More German people, mystified at Britain's decision to leave the EU, "Can you comprehend why people voted for Brexit?" "Absolutely not, no, not at all, not even a bit" Some even picked up on the sinister censorship from another era...not a good look for a global Britain.

Lucas is right, “Parliament has made itself a laughing stock" With no effective oversight Parliament is an impotent bystander watching a government attempt to enact the result of an illegally procured referendum that's already caused immeasurable damage.

And everyone knows it.....we're just pretending they don't.
Even our colleagues in the EU......

This was an opportunity to tell the real story of institutional problems facing our country yet the film‑makers continue to propagate a misrepresentation of the truth. This isn't a film about Brexit, it’s a film about Dominic Cummings for Dominic Cummings.

We're hoping this isn't going to be as big a let down as Tim Shipman's book which missed the whole illegal activity and glossed over the data analytics issue with a quote from Hanann. Will this movie cover the £115,000 Vote Leave spent with this company? Don't hold your breath.
"Arch Eurosceptic Daniel Hannan "Dominic had these astrophysicists who had found ways of scraping data of people’s Google searches and feeding it into a programme to tell you, by postcode, where your voters were."

"The reality of the situation surrounding Warren’s DNA test is that there are plenty of justifiably pissed-off Natives and plenty of apathetic Natives and plenty of Natives who are keeping quiet for reasons of their own."

These conspiracies have no business being promoted by those fighting against white supremacy and only serve to damage all of our struggles against it.

A few choice quotes to recall from the Brexiteer leaders:

1) Coming to a free trade agreement with the EU should be "one of the easiest in human history.' Liam Fox, July 2017
2) 'In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way.' Nigel Farage, May 2016.
3) “Not partial membership of the European Union, associate membership of the European Union, or anything that leaves us half-in, half-out.' Theresa May, Jan 2017, setting out her vision for Brexit.

In lieu of creating a whole new account/blog documenting the anti-Micronesian hate I see online, I’ve decided to just make a thread of it. I encourage everyone to read through it, share their own, contribute, and RT. Will be using the hashtag #BeingMicronesian with this thread.
Here’s my previous pinned thread about some of the anti-Micronesian hate I’d recently seen in a #StolenStuffHawaii post. #BeingMicronesian
Here are the screenshots from the same #StolenStuffHawaii post, unedited... (Part 01)

This is a really interesting thread and I encourage everyone to read it!

I came across a term one that I think is really fitting to explain this phenomenon (one that Wookieepedia has been a big part of, for better or for worse), and it's "emotional continuity". (1/11)
I did an interview with @io9 where I described it like this: "people relate to their fandom by knowing everything. And the more they know, whether it’s what this character did or how this engine from a comic 30 years ago works, the [more] real those things are to them..." (2/11)
...the more real Star Wars is and the more they can connect to it." The internet amplified that because rather than people being off on their own and being interested in the details by themselves, they could come together on forums and eventually wikis. (3/11)
