Happy #Vaisakhi2019 to my Sikh brothers and sisters around the globe. Today our faith was formally founded in 1699 with the initiation of five Sikhs willing to give everything for our principles of equality, dignity, charity, humility, ethical living, and resistance to injustice!
Vaisakhi is simplified as “Sikh New Year” by some, but that is not what it symbolizes. We celebrate our dedication to the Sikh faith on this date and remember the sacrifices of our gurus and their followers who followed our holy teaching and lived by the principles set down ...
By the gurus, including taking up arms to fight the Mughal invasion into India in which the population was being forcibly converted to Islam. Through the resistance of our early leaders, millions were free to practice their own faiths and not be subjugated to a foreign power.
Sikhs greet each other today with the greeting “Vaisakhi diyan lakh lakh wadhayian” — millions of congratulations on Vaisakhi day — and if you meet a Sikh today, she or he will appreciate your well wishes on this happy and holy day. 🙏🏼

1/ I don't know the former Clinton/Obama lawyer, and from the company he keeps (the aforementioned + Ukrainian thugs and probably other miscreants) he is shady as hell, but I have mixed feelings about the continued use in this Mueller investigation denouement of process crimes...
2/ to selectively punish people for things that most others get away with scot-free. It's clear that Greg Craig only came under scrutiny because this 2012 Ukraine hit piece work at Skadden was brokered by Paul Manafort, who later had the bad fortune to work for candidate Trump--
3/ ... and if anything this prosecution which has made the rounds of Mueller team, SDNY (which apparently passed on it) and then DC USA office, looks to me like an attempt to make the witchhunt against Trump associates for process crimes look more even-handed. Now smug liberals

1/ wow - this is devastating and I don’t see how @MichaelAvenatti weasels out of resposbility for these alleged these crimes, including stealing from four clients: justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/a…
/2 The rules governing client trust accounts are very strict. They must be in balance; you have to account for every penny including credit card or wire transfer fees. Trust accounts are not a piggy bank an attorney may use to borrow from for any purpose ... /
/3 @MichaelAvenatti has not only allegedly stolen from his clients, including a severely disabled client, but this case and these alleged acts have the potential to degrade confidence in the legal profession overall, particularly attorneys who help consumers, employees... /

1/6 Update: we went to San Jose federal court with our plaintiffs today for a magistrate settlement conference, and the case did not settle. This means more deposition transcripts, travel, research, experts, documents, exhibits, out of pocket expenses ... gofundme.com/JusticeInSanJo…
2/6 for these @realdonaldtrump supporters assaulted and threatened and harassed in 2016 during the campaign. After federal judge allowed the case to go forward in 2016, San Jose & police officers appealed to 9th Circuit, which ruled for us and against qualified immunity defense/
3/6 so the case is approaching its third year. Our clients are raising money through GoFundMe (link in first tweet) to pay for the out of pocket expenses of the case (not attorney fees). This is an expense-heavy case with numerous party depositions and witness depositions yet...

Thinking about the theology of Good Friday tonight.

The medieval mystic, Julian of Norwich, had vision of Christ on the cross.
She wrote: "And the beholding of this [Christ's sufferings on the cross], with all the pains that ever were or ever shall be—and for all this, I understood the passion of Christ to be the greatest pain and overpassing [all other pains]"
The idea that Jesus held the entire universe of suffering at the Cross is profound. It means God literally felt all the the pain ever felt in time in a single embodied act.

The top photo was taken in Troy Michigan, spring equinox time 1995, end of 8th grade. Wasn't it, Q?
NO NO
NO MORE
IT ENDS RIGHT NOW
Hey Q, is Rachel Chandler a cooperating witness? "Alison Mack x 100"? Did y'all post this old photo of me to her tumbler as a confirmation regarding my FBI report? Is there anything y'all need from me to keep this moving? Enough is enough. Rip off the bandaid, with Love. 🕊️

Everyone looks beautiful, especially the women in white. Despite our differences, everyone has a look of cautious peace on their faces. #faith #patience #itBEGINSnow #NOFEAR #BOOM #WWG1WGA #theGreatAwakening #WeThePeople #QAnon @POTUS #theStorm #ByePhoenicia #Covfefe #LoveWins
@POTUS Our @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP is the epitome of Grace. She is someone We admire very much. Thank you, Melania, for all that you have done for our Nation and the World. We look forward to the good times ahead as you and your Family continue to lead Our Nation back to unified greatness
@POTUS @FLOTUS @MELANIATRUMP I love @SpeakerPelosi's necklace. I recall she wore it a few weeks ago. Lovely. She also looks good tonight, more steady than in recent days. I hope she finds courage to #SayBraveThings that promote unity instead of division. For the good of ALL of Us. The truth will set all free

I’m watching all of the @Marvel movies with @ThereseTheBeast, we are going in release order over the next 8 weeks leading up to #AvengersInfinityWar

Yesterday was Iron Man, we just started The Incredible Hulk now.

Updating this thread with thoughts and lists as we go #marvel
💭 Most shocking moment so far in the @Hulk 2008 is @LivTyler dating the dad from Modern Family.

Also as much as I like Edward Norton I’m just picturing @MarkRuffalo in my head and this movie is even better.
Putting @Hulk on pause to talk Iron Man.

1. I forgot how we used to talk about Marvel movies being “grounded” or “realistic” especially when it comes to color pallete and portrayal of characters or events.

The colors in Black Panther and Thor 3 have come a long way since 2008.

It is good and right for American Christians to give thanks today, indeed, everyday (Ps 9:1; Phil 1:3). But, as I have grown in fellowship with Native Christians, Wampanoags in particular, my feelings about our civic celebrations of Thanksgiving have evolved. /1
I’ve become increasingly uncomfortable with Thanksgiving celebrations that portray “Pilgrims” and “Indians” feasting together harmoniously, knowing the violence towards and dispossession of Natives that would soon follow. /2
To be clear, the Christian faith of the original settlers appears to be genuine and honorable, their Godward gratitude expressed that day exemplary. But so also was that of Christian slave owners in the days of chattel slavery. /3
