Just imagine writing an email to 60 million people in which you refer to yourself as "your favorite [insert any word]" and you will have a visceral sense of how disturbed this man is
Imagine if I wrote

"Hey everyone! It's Friday morning and your favorite Twitter user, me, is back!"

You'd be like no seriously what is wrong with that guy

Now imagine if instead of me announcing it's Friday morning I was announcing that I still have the nuclear launch codes
The opportunities to bring this home for people are endless

"Do you know why I, your favorite neighborhood policeman, stopped you today?"

"We, your favorite firefighting crew, have arrived to save your house. Stand back!"

"You're being very unkind to your favorite parent: me."

This would be a good time to check in with your Trumpist relative or acquaintance who says there's no such thing as white privilege
P.S. If you think this was simply about money please regale me with all your stories of rich black men in unlocked cells
P.P.S. The point is not that *every* white human trafficker would get this treatment, but that *when* this treatment is given (i.e. in those obscenely rare instances) it would *only* be given to a white man, and if this still isn't clear enough read more books

Awesome! But that's *not the claim she faces*. The claim she faces is she knew about those conversations and *lied to Congress about them* to *hide* them.
(One of my specialties is decoding press-release attorney-speak. It's usually not too hard to see how a lawyer is cannily framing a given controversy—as here.)
PS/ Hicks' testimony was that she was "never present" for any conversations between Trump and Cohen about paying off Stormy Daniels. But here again, that's *not the claim*—the claim is that she was *on calls* that alerted her to the fact that these conversations were *happening*.

A note on the CNN decision to air debates on successive nights rather than the same night (a sensible decision with unfortunate fundraising implications for first-nighters): Beto, Booker, and Castro are competing for second-tier dollars; Booker and Castro will be second-nighters.
While Buttigieg is also, like Beto, a first-nighter—and in *polling* is in the same tier as Beto, Booker, and Castro (albeit atop the tier)—in fundraising he's so far ahead of anyone and everyone in the second polling tier that Pete being a first-nighter has little effect on him.
So in terms of the debate draw, you'd have to say Booker and Castro are winners, while Beto (and Klobuchar) are disadvantaged. That said, besides Sanders and Warren, the first night is moderate *enough* that Buttigieg and Beto have chance to burnish their progressive bona fides.

People are asking why there aren’t already marches and protests over the horrible detention centers in Texas. Thought I’d share a few thoughts about this. Thread. 1/
First, let’s recall that last June thousands of us did participate in marches and rallies to express opposition to #familyseparation and zero tolerance as tools of US immigration policy. 2/
Last year’s efforts motivated litigation and action by Dem Senators to try to achieve family reunification. Mitch McConnell is the reason that bills to address the problem have not been enacted. In other words, we need to flip the Senate blue in 2020. 3/

How to sell 1000 copies of your books in 6 months of less.
A Thread.

1. I had just completed my book. It took me several months to write a manuscript I was satisfied with. Now I faced the hurdle of selling the book

This is how I did it. You can do the same.
#writing
2. "How are you going to sell this book?", a friend asked me. I didn't have an answer. I had used a lot of money to produce the book and I was almost broke. It even got to the point that I almost cursed the day I decided to write that book.
#writing
#sell
3. Nobody I knew had written and sold books before. The only people I knew who wrote and sold books were pastors with a large congregation who bought their books. I didn't have a church, I was not close to anyone who had a large church, so I was in a predicament.

People mocking Peter Obi for often using China as example of how Nigeria should grow are patently ignorant.

Within forty years, China has gone from a dirt poor country to the second largest economy in the world, lifting HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of its citizens out of poverty.
China recorded CONSISTENT growth within that period.

It educated its citizens and attracted billions in foreign investments.

China in the process became the manufacturing capital of the world, a point that has huge implications.
As companies moved different levels of manufacturing to china, skills were transfered.

Those transfered skills are what was used to create the many indigenous Chinese companies that are now active outside of China.

Ending your life doesn't stop the pain, it just passes it on to someone else. It's not over until God says it is Over.⛱
You folks always think you have more troubles than everyone else. U clearly don’t. Majority are merely battling with the what they think is failure because of financial problems or lack of fulfillment. Please be thankful you’ve got sound health & U may ruin that too with worry.
If you live in Nigeria and can still feed honestly and take care of your family to the best of your ability, know that you are a success already. Society may not celebrate you because you are not a thief but know that people like me value your courage, perseverance and patience.

Imagine being actually angry that medical doctors take out time to share life saving knowledge for free on Twitter.

Many of you simply tweet once you have access to internet and a mobile phone. And not because you have access to any intelligent reasoning or something sensible.
Nigeria is a country of about 190 million people, a good majority of which can never afford standard healthcare.

Now some medical doctors out of their free will decide to bridge the gap and help people online with information that can potentially help them live healthier lives
And someone is crying about that.

What exactly is our problem as a people? What exactly is our issue?

You are not doing anything in your little unknown world. You are not contributing anything meaningful to anyone. But you can make yourself a nuisance to distract those who are.

Writing Myths #3 Writing Portfolios are the magic way into the industry!!
Get a portfolio said the writing panel/advice/speaker in what is the latest throwaway simple advice that instantly builds a career…. So, let’s talk about them.
1/24
1)Portfolios are NOT magic. Simply having one doesn't get you a job. Tey are a tool to be used in chasing work and an increasing number of employers ask for them. Having one can be very useful, but just putting some bits of writing in the same place does not = instant career.
2) People tend to read your email first, then your c.v. and then portfolio. Mess up stages 1, or 2 and 3 may well not matter. Always rework your email, c.v. and portfolio for EVERY application. Focus on what matches that job/company.
