Prominent #Saudi women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul has rejected a proposal to secure her release from prison in exchange for a video statement denying reports she was tortured in custody, her family said google.com/amp/s/mobile.r…
Hathloul, along with at least a dozen other women's rights activists, were arrested over a year ago. Rights groups say at least 3 of the women, incl Hathloul, were held in solitary confinement for months and subjected to abuse including electric shocks, flogging & sexual assault.
Hathloul’s siblings allege that Saud al-Qahtani, a senior adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who has also been implicated in Khashoggi's murder, was present during some of the torture sessions and threatened to rape and kill her.

Hello, George Conway. Do you have those kinds of conversations with your wife? Do you ask her why she sides with the sociopath who is our oppressor right here in the US?
Do George and Kellyanne Conway talk? Or does he just vent here on Twitter?
This would be like Melanie tweeting anti-Trump tweets here. No one would fake her seriously. George Conway is married to someone who was instrumental in getting Trump elected. And yet so many take his anti-Trump tweets seriously. It’s a fucking farce.

Happy 2nd day of #Eid from my parents and me!
My parents took me out for a belated celebration of my birthday and I learned more stories of my mum’s pregnancy with me in Port Said during the 1967 war. They were junior doctors at the time and several times a day at the hospital they’d have to take shelter in the basement.
My parents are from #Cairo but they spent the end of their junior year as physicians in Port Said. My mum tells me she felt me kick inside her every time a bomb fell. That’s where my phobia of thunder comes from.

When the US withdraws from the world stage, others quickly step in to fill that vacuum!

In the coming years, expect to see China and Russia tear down the world order the US created in the wake of WW II.

America First = America Alone

The Brexit Party is not what people think it is. Some people think it is UKIP 2.0, others think it is going to be the start of some new political revolution. It isn't. It's not a party, its Nigel Farage's personal fan club. In this thread we will attempt to explain. 1.
2. Having spoken to many former UKIP members and activists, they all say the same thing - Farage wants people around him who are three things [1] loyal to him [2] smart enough to be useful [3] not smart or rebellious enough to be a threat to him.
3. During his career many people had fallings out with Nigel, but a small group always stuck by him and impressed him with their combination of both loyalty and being precisely just clever enough to be useful but not enough to challenge him.

Three friends are in a pub. They’ve had two rounds and Nige wants to Leave. He starts telling Dave and Joe: /thread
Nige: “We have to Leave this pub, this chain of pubs is too expensive, and I want to choose my own ale. Also there’s too many foreigners.” /1
Dave: “But Nige we’ve been coming here for 40 years, you helped choose the ales they have, and we get a massive discount at all the chains. Plus the foreigners are working in the pub.” /2

@angellino Trump interviews Mueller May 16. He is appointed May 17. Barr's wife and Mueller's wife go to Bible study together. Hmm. Obama helped Trump win to save us from that monster. nypost.com/2015/03/14/oba…
@angellino Rosenstein, Huber, Horowitz, Boente, Dunford, Rogers, Mueller all retained by Trump. What were they all working on that spilled over into the new administration? Hmm.
@angellino It couldn't be this could it?
