The Paris City Council - with the support of both left & right - voted to name a public space in honor Rio City Councilwoman Marielle Franco. Meanwhile, the Bolsonaro movement - with links to the militia that assassinated her - blocks this for Rio itself: www1.folha.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2019…
While Paris votes in unison to honor Marielle by naming a public street or park after her, Bolsonaro followers - including Rio's Governor, a Congressman & a state rep - continue to be celebrated for destroying a sign in her honor. One of these cretins displays it on his wall:
Rio's genuinely fascist pro-Bolsonaro governor, @wilsonwitzel, keeps talking about how urgent it is that Rio revitalize its tourist industry. Look at the above pictures of him and his fascist comrades and ask if this is a climate conducive to attracting, or repelling, tourism.

In 2011, the House voted *against* authorizing a US role in the war in Libya but Obama defied it & did it anyway bbc.com/news/world-us-… - if Trump vetoes this bill barring US involvement in the war in Yemen, it's a great opportunity to reimpose war-making powers on the President
The US-supported war in Yemen is one of the worst atrocities in the last two decades. It's a huge stain on Obama & Trump's legacy. The bill passed today by the House to end US involvement in the war in Yemen is of historic importance: both for war powers & humanitarianism.
I mean: "a great opportunity to reimpose *limits* on the war-making powers of the President." See here: washingtonpost.com/posteverything…

Trump/Russia conspiracists are like zombies: the dream can't die. Their new hope is a) anonymously sourced, b) bereft of even one specific, c) irrelevant to *conspiracy* as opposed to obstruction & d) unrelated to the fact that Mueller indicted *zero* Americans for conspiracy:
The Mueller Report will be released, as it should be. Mueller is working with Barr on redactions. But nothing in the Report can or will possibly change the fatal fact that no Americans were charged for election-conspiring with Russia, the core claim of the narrative. And:
Similar to NYT report, WPost suggests that whatever unnamed irritations unspecified numbers of the Mueller team have about what Barr did or didn't disclose, it relates to the question of whether Trump obstructed the investigation, *not whether he colluded washingtonpost.com/world/national…

As the debut winner with Amy Goodman in 2008 of the IF Stone Izzy Award for Independent Journalism, awarded by Ithaca College, I'm so thrilled that one of this year's winner is @aaronjmate: for his brave, intrepid & smart Russiagate skepticism. Congrats! ithaca.edu/news/izzy-awar…
Despite having little institutional protection, Aaron was subjected to heaps of scorn & marginalization for his Russia skepticism but- like a real journalist- resisted the group think & was vindicated. Congrats also to the other winners: @earthisland, @GRITlaura & @DavidLindorff.
Here was the judge panel's rationale for why @aaronjmate was so deserving of the 2019 Izzy Award for his skeptical reporting on Russiagate (past winners also include @jeremyscahill, @lhfang, @NaomiAKlein, @AriBerman, @fastlerner, @davidsirota, @sharifkouddous & @nickturse:

@realDonaldTrump didn't run on neocon war ideas but Bolton has weekly appearances at Breitbart pushing his own neocon foreign policies. Why is Breitbart doing this? Bolton is one of their top donors
@realDonaldTrump directly was rejecting this and why his voters liked him. This threatens the neocon agenda but threatens the neoliberal agenda as well.
Example: Kenith Dart renounced citizenship and get citizenship of Ireland. Most hated man in S America.
Kenneth (spelled wrong above sorry) Dart would go buy up troubled cheap countries debt. called vulture capitalism. He works with Paul Singer a major Republican donor. Darts family still lives he, he did this to avoid taxes here.

#1/Disappointed & confused by relative silence about adult "Indian" male and adult Black Hebrew Israelite group. I believe that silence conveys an indifference toward what the adults did while putting the sole onus on minor children, who did not choose what happened to them...
#2/Three groups deserve severe criticism.

1st, we now know that a 64-yo man purposefully LIED to media & world abt what happened SOLELY FOR POLITICAL GAIN after he, as an adult, GOT IN FACES of minor children standing peacefully there & did so for sole purpose of PROVOKING them.
#3/2nd, we also now know people called Black Hebrew Israelites, again unprovoked, called minor children 'RACISTS,' 'BIGOTS,' 'WHITE CRACKERS,' 'FAGGOTS,' and 'INCEST KIDS.' Also taunted African-American student from school by telling him that they would 'HARVEST HIS ORGANS.'...

There’s a huge issue with educating people about antisemitism on the left, because it requires people to understand thousands of years of the history of the persecution of the Jewish people & how those tropes manifest today & then make incredibly nuanced & careful distinctions.
First of all it’s asking people to familiarise themselves with antisemitic tropes & the ways in which they’ve manifested over centuries on both the left & right. It requires people to understand pogroms, expulsions & the Holocaust - everything that led us to this point.
It’s then asking them to understand why Jewish activists feel more hurt, let down & frightened by the left no longer feeling like a safe space for them than they do by the right-wing racism they were fighting from a left-wing position in the first place.

OTD in 2015 the Russian Air force began bombing anyone but ISIS in Syria with aircraft we had denied we were even sending
A year later we said the mission was accomplished and we were leaving. Although we are still bombing & creating refugees for you & we have since said we've left a further 2 times.

We have not left.
Our bombs do not kill any civilians at all. None.

For some reason @MSF stopped sharing the locations of their hospitals with us although they still tell the imperialists where they are.

THREAD:

After more than 6 months of watching people get scammed by the #QAnon phenomena, I'm going to make the below thread to explain to you exactly why it is an intelligence agency-backed psyop, what techniques are being used, and why you need to stop people falling for it.
1. I referred to #QAnon today as a 'Pied Piper' operation. What I meant by this, is that the operation exists to round up people that are otherwise dangerous to the Deep State (because they are genuinely opposed to it) usurp time & attention, & trick them into serving its aims.
2. To achieve this, the operation moves through three phases.

PHASE 1: ESTABLISH CREDIBILITY.

It does this by appearing to leak insider information to the #QAnon audience. Making them feel that they are getting access to information that they otherwise wouldn't be privy to
