You know what really grinds my gears? When people who did nothing to help Bernie win in 2016 other than shitpost tell me I’m the establishment if I ever criticize him. I was a delegate, spent over a year exclusively working to get him elected. STFU.
I criticize him cuz I want him to do better. But you’re not going to question my fucking credentials over the internet like you’re some radical.
If you think the president is what’s going to bring us revolution you aren’t radical in the first place.

So I loved all of my students in Portland but I had one kid who was honestly just special to me. I just found out that he died. This is just so painful because he had so much potential. Let me tell you about Mitchell
On my first day of work I was just observing the classroom and I hear this kid yell out: “is anyone in this classroom even fucking good at math, I feel like LeBron James playing against kindergarteners.” And I almost fell out laughing.
I turned to my supervisor and said: “is he actually good at math?” And she tells me he’s probably the best at math in the entire class. It was obvious he had some addiction problems but that he very was smart.

Bernie staffers and campaign workers should all be required by the campaign to do racial sensitivity trainings and trainings on trauma and historical/institutional white supremacy. The shit some of y’all say is just so bad.
Bernie supporter to me: So the rules of engagement are different when AA and non AA are working together? Don't you think this will discourage people of all backrounds from wanting to work together if rules of engagement/tactics are going to be this controversial and complicated
Here is another: “This is about narrative control actually and has NOTHING to do with sex or race.”

I’m trying really hard to stay out of this Bernie Sanders SOTU response thing because I know a lot of the attacks are manufactured outrage and establishment tricks but I have a responsibility as a black Bernie supporter to tell Bernie, this ain’t it.
So the only possible reason to do it is that 1. You think the more rebuttals the better or 2. You think Stacy Abrams isn’t going to do it right. First point is just false. More rebuttals the better is not true and even if so he could just do it tomorrow.
Black women are consistently mansplained and whitesplained away. I swear to god if Bernie goes up there and says “ya what she said but in a white mans voice” I’m gonna be so pissed. He better come with new points. But he could say those new points tomorrow.

prison labor is modern day slavery. fuck this brand and the white women who profit from it.
white capitalists poaching for cheap labor in countries that are stricken with high rates of discrimination, inequality, and health crises makes me want to vomit.
i bet you anything these colonizers know that peruvian prisons are overpacked and that they have a strong, internal money-based economy with job opportunities being highly sought after. how advantageous for these white women.

You know mane, today - I have to thank you motherfuckers in the Journalism profession all across the fucking world today, because no matter where i go on the net, Journalists of all fucking nationalities and stripes are shitting the bed.
And for the life of me, why motherfuckers piss me off today - is because these fucking mainstream journalists do nothing but do meet cute shit all over the world no matter where they from. So imagine my shock when the Japanese sports journalists fuck up again concerning Osaka?
You know what these journalists come up do breh. "Naomi-Chan, do that cute nihonese for us?" and she said NO. The Japanese people were quite pleased that she said no. Because why? You might ask? Not because they going "sj" or what not hell no. Because she gives the country glory.

THREAD (1/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

The 2020 Dem primary is going to be intense one way or the other. The stakes are too high for it not to be. Heading into 2019, we'll see lots of early maneuvering and skirmishes. That's fine, AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CHARACTER ATTACKS.
THREAD (2/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

A character attack directly impugns the honesty, integrity, and/or ethics of a candidate. Examples: Candidate X is a liar. Candidate Y is immoral. An issue debate is perfectly acceptable, i.e. Candidate Z is wrong on health care, the economy, etc.
THREAD (3/3): #BERNIE vs #BETO

Neither #BernieSanders nor #BetoORourke have announced if they are running. Supporters of each should feel free to battle out the issues, BUT AVOID CHARACTER ATTACKS. We cannot afford to give needless ammunition to the GOP.

You know what really grinds my gears... when people say “believe all women”. So if I believe everyone the reality of the matter is I believe no one. Not everything should be believed and not everything claimed in this world is actually or realistically true.
Believing every woman literally hurts real victims of assault and does absolutely nothing of value to society. It’s like the boy who cried wolf, if you falsely cry, then no one will believe when it’s actually real. Believing everyone is unethical and seriously damaging to society
I’m sick and tired of seeing people saying this because it’s lazy, damaging and if you really think about it for two seconds it’s inconsistent and verifiably not true. Think for yourselves, don’t be sheep. If everything is deemed true, nothing is. Stop hurting men and women.

Slack has been detrimental to my productivity; it seriously induces ADD. Let me rant for a moment...
When it works well, online chat allows for immersion in a team or group and absorption of tribal knowledge merely by hanging out there. I don’t know what specifically it is about Slack, but it seems to implicitly discourage this.
First: sooooo many channels. Right now, there are >50 security-related channels in our Slack. People are only half-jokingly asking if there should be a channel where it's on-topic to ask which channel to ask a question in.

1 RT

This never fails to crack me up 😂

*Reportedly* taken at #DNCConvention16 where the #TrollKing was chased down the hall!

I have a special loathing for @davidbrockdc. He deserves all the mocking we can throw at him.
2:

Support for monopolies & worker exploiters by "The Resistance" has been grotesque.

Mock them into oblivion.
