Let's fact check:
- No please let's not get the Saudi dictatorship and the Iranian dictatorship together. We deserve better than a choice between cancer and ebola, Bernie
- You never spent all that money for "their" conflicts, you spent it for your corrupt interests.
"We're sick and tired" - oh really now? You supported our dictators and occupiers for 70 years and now *you're* sick and tired? Oh we're so sorry your majesties for bleeding on you while your "allies" crushed our bones.
*Corrupt interests = those of successive US administrations, not Bernie per se, of course. He was never part of any of those administrations. But he should know better.

A few things that few people will understand, but I encourage you to take to heart. A message to my comrades, but also to everyone else:
1. Many journalists have asked me what I'd say to MBS if I sat across him. In the past I wouldn't know how to answer, or would say some tough guy bullshit. Now my answer would be: I wouldn't say anything. I'll just give him a hug. Yes he wants me dead. But I'll give him a hug./
This young guy who has all this power, and is just out of his wits. He's caused so much pain and hatred that it scares him, and he finds no way out except to inflict even more pain and hatred. He poses as a tough guy, but deep down he's a scared kid.

A few thing I need to say about a matter that recently elicited some pretty hurtful replies from some otherwise amazing Norwegians:
1. The first and foremost judge on whether something is racist or not is the people who experience it. Typically these are people who have experienced it all their lives and *know* it when they see it. Do not gaslight them and try to question their lived experience. Listen.
2. That something is legal doesn't make it not racist. When we're talking about institutional racism, we are *literally* talking about laws. These laws are never explicit about their racism; they know they can't be. Instead they serve racist outcomes and simple not care.

My main issue with the article (and the so called intellectuals) isn't so much how unrepresentative they are but who's behind them and what's their agenda
Reminder that Natenyahu et al uses the fact that Arab dictatorships are cozy with him to tell his electorate that Israel can pursue a policy of outright apartheid without suffering regional consequences
But note what Bibi et al as well as Western commentators skip - the opinions of the Arab masses, who are seen not as a crucial element in the future of their own region but as an impediment that is best to be side stepped, or even crushed

1) So you get a copy of your medical records & dive in, reading line by line, trying to make sense of your new lung #cancer diagnosis.

“Wait a second, this doesn’t sound right. This is a mistake. I don’t have a history of a heart condition & I don’t smoke cigarettes.
#PtExp
2) You call your oncologist’s office to report the mistakes you found & ask to have it updated. You are told to write down the correction & fax it to the office. You do exactly that.
#PtExp #addendum #EHR
3) At your next follow up appt a month later, you ask the dr if your record was updated & the correction was made.

The dr looks at you like:

I have other airing out to do- I'll start sometime before #LivePD starts. I can unequivocally prove a KNOWING, SPANNING, & HIGHLY ILLEGAL PLOT, that violated every last right, every iota of sanctity, and does implicate, Judges, Sheriff Employees, Multiple Public Defenders, etc..
I know this is probably pissing in the wind, but, hey @PascoSheriff #PascoSheriff @ChrisNocco think I can get the 1-24-19 courtroom video? You know, the one where public defenders try to SET ME UP & ATTACK ME? In knowing allowance and knowing participation with the judge no less?
You all know, the day where false #discoveries were slammed in my lap to goad me on to outburst as my lawyer got LOUD ON PURPOSE? Where I finally got back subpoened evidence that was purposely kept from me for a year and half? #LivePD doesnt though, so for refreshers....

NEW: #Saudi Public Prosecutor states investigations of Saudi feminists have concluded and indictments prepared. Unclear where this is headed.

Saudi feminist activists were arrested in May/June 2018, & there have been reports of torture and harassment.
Surprised no mention of “foreign involvement” which state used before when smearing #Saudi feminists. Treason accusation was favorite, used by apologists. Public Prosecution only references “coordinated activism” targeted “safety and stability”.

Did state forget its own story?
#Saudi feminist’s sister @alia_ww: On June 2, 2018, Loujain faced worst type of torture. She thought she wasn’t going to live another day on earth. Every confession she signed was under torture & threat of murder (and rape). She was not allowed a lawyer.

Same #Saudi regime that has imprisoned without charge women’s rights activists since May and tortured them, including via water boarding. Same Saudi regime whose counter extremism agency made a public service announcement conflating feminism with terrorism. It’s not about “first”
This is typical #Saudi regime MO. #Saudi Arabia subjects women to a form of gender apartheid that requires all girls and women to have a male guardian that controls almost every aspect of their life. It’s not about “first.”
This same “first woman ambassador” like all #Saudi women has a male guardian. It could be her father, husband, brother and even son. It’s not about “first.”

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.

In late-August of 2010, my dear first-cousin was diagnosed with inoperable, non-curable, small-cell lung #cancer. He and I were raised like #siblings and cared for one another as brother and sister, a very close-knit family.
My #cousin was an amazing man, husband, and father to twin boys; who were only 14 when he died in September 2017. He died at his home, surrounded by his family and friends…just how he’d wished.
Of course, he only had these wishes after his experiences spending extended periods of time in clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. Blood draws, lung scans, injections, medications, #chemotherapy, hospitalizations, emergency room visits from all the awful side-effects of his...
