a group dedicated to producing visual memes known as "demotivators."The operation was run by a local restaurateur who was placed under US sanctions for attempting to interfere with US elections.""

"Savchuk believed her work would help Facebook understand how its platform could be gamed, but no longer believes the fight against trolls is winnable."

Okay, buckle up kids, I’m going to tell you an amazing story of love, Fate, weirdness, hope, and how living with my Strange Metaphysics™️ ended up bringing me to exactly where I needed to be, and thus here Tweeting to you all on this humid AF Saturday afternoon in June. 1/

So I think the best place to start is: in the late 90s, I was the frontman for a rock band called Broken Messiah, & we’d just finished recording an EP. I was living in Maine at the time, with my best friend/bass player Chris. And as @Nirvana was one of our biggest influences, 2/

we had wanted to go to Seattle and try to “make it” there, like so many other bands at the time. I’d already been, to play at a tribute concert of a CD comp I’d been on(photo), but Chris hadn’t. We decided, because why not, to hitchhike there: to make a journey out of it. 3/

Humanitarian Wars for democracy and freedom are false and lying - 9

#Syria #WarCrimes #FakeNews #lies #terrorism

1.
What was the UN created for?
What was the United Nations charter created for?
What were human rights associations created for?
What was the International Criminal Court created for?

Enough of double standars and hypocrisy. Enough is enough.

2.
The United States, in order to be able to carry out its wars with the slogan of freedom and democracy, has continually blatantly lied, over many years, to the permanent representatives of other United Nations countries.

(THREAD) Republicans are lying about The Logan Act—what it says; why it exists; why it matters—and their lies are perverting discussion of a key element of the Russia probe. This thread explains The Logan Act is and why it matters now more than ever.

Hope you'll read and share.

1/ First, the basics: The Logan Act (18 U.S. Code § 953: Private Correspondence with Foreign Governments) is a federal criminal statute, and a very serious one. Violation of the statute is a felony, and those convicted of a violation can serve up to three years in federal prison.

2/ Republicans like to give the impression no one's even *thought* about this federal criminal statute since it was passed—incidentally, like *many* statutes—in the first few decades of the nation's existence.

But that's false—it was last amended during the Clinton presidency.
