Well, here’s a wild little story. Did you catch the @greenpeaceusa protest in Houston on debate day? They shut down the Hartman Bridge, a big shipping channel, in a #PeopleVsOil protest to urge candidates to “hold the fossil fuel industry accountable.” houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/…
Welllll, despite the fact that pretty much everyone said this wasn’t a big problem, Harris County DA @kimoggforda decided to go the Trump/Barr route and prosecute the heck out of the protestors, including the spotters who were watching for safety. reuters.com/article/us-hou…
Now, & here’s some FRIDAY NIGHT LEGAL NEWS: We at @Justice_Collab have learned @kimoggforda’s @HarrisCountyDAO is seeking an absurd $100,000 bond for at least one of the protesters. These environmental activists staged a nonviolent protest; there’s no excuse for this high bail.

I am announcing tonight that my "campaign" will "randomly" select 1 family and give them a total of LOTS OF CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR MY TWO NEPHEWS COME DECEMBER!
Mayor Pete is like, "WTF, Yang."

He said, "It's original, I'll give you that."

Hate to see GEO Group take a hit like this. (We actually love to see it.)
One down, one to go (as to this tweet). A vote on #SB136 could come as soon as this hour.
For more on #SB136, which would end a sentencing enhancement in California that costs the state millions with no clear ties to increased safety, see this thread:

Well here's @RonanFarrow's latest story.

Digging into it now.

@RonanFarrow First initial impression: If Epstein was able to hide a relationship with MIT, what other prestigious institutions allowed him to keep donating & have access while covering it up?
@RonanFarrow Oh of course, all the goobers out there assumed Farrow was about to drop a bombshell tying Epstein to DONALD TRUMP.

This is the Tao of Thomas - my beginner’s guide to @Twitter. The thoughts are mine. The words are from @nickwarren #tweetstorm cc @subsetharry @kimadele10 @argent_phil @iPerrySimpson @ai_rajsharma @DaveHillman2 @Samlindley9 @CaroleAnnRice @scottkeyser @NikiCassidy @pennypower

I'm at #ITCDisasterTownHall at @RiceUniversity and will begin live tweeting about #ITCfire now.

#DeerParkFire #DeerPark #HouNews
Leticia: @airallianceHOU has their own purple air monitors for #ITCDisaster. @HarvardU also has monitors. #ITCfire is why we cannot afford rollbacks. Study by @EnvironmentTex show companies like ITC don't incur problems from air quality violations. EPA & TCEQ not protecting us
.@HighTechAztec @SierraClub: Experiencing symptoms of exposure and high levels of distress.

I care because I live here, too. My mom lives in Deer Park. Friends who are pregnant & vulnerable. Concerned about cumulative impact. Scares me

Well here's a disturbing new Ipsos Poll:

- 43% of Republicans think the president should have the authority to shut down news outlets for "bad behaviour"

ipsos.com/en-us/news-pol…
POLL:

- 48% of Republicanss think the media "is the enemy of the American people"

- 23% of R's think Trump should shut down mainstream news outlets (CNN, WaPo, NYT, etc.)
The good news? 85% of Americans agree “Freedom of the press is essential for American democracy.”

and 68% say “reporters should be protected from pressure from government or big business interests.”

There's bipartisan support for both of those things.

Dear #Resistance,
Brace for battle.
As we turn the corner to 2018 the war for the hearts, minds, and votes of America will get more intense and target Resistance members directly.

Our grassroots movement is now the biggest threat to the goals of some very powerful special interests and people.

PSYOPS (psychological warfare) is a style of warfare that targets the minds of the adversary hoping to control thinking & behavior. It is VERY well understood in Russia (also by the Far-right) and it uses a range of proven techniques such as disinformation, and memetic warfare 3/
