I couldn't be more delighted that Michelle Fiore is being questioned about her role in all this. Like Shea, she was using her position as a legislator to obtain info from law enforcement that was promptly shared with the Bundy bunch in the Malheur.

Incidentally, here's just one of many press releases issued under the COWs banner.
Oh look, here's Michelle Fiore and Matt Shea adorning a popular Patriot meme in a shot taken at the annual Marble, WA, far-right cult gathering. The other man next to Fiore is none other than Anthony Bosworth, the "Patriot" with a knack for getting sideways with the law.
Another shot of Fiore and Shea together at Marble, along with Idaho "Patriot" Rep. Heather Scott (in the orange).
They're all rather cozy, in any event. Pretty hilarious that Fiore claims they have no association now.

An excellent choice. Solomon has been polluting the information stream with straight-up disinformation for many years, all under the guise of being an ordinary news reporter. He's not. He's a right-wing propagandist.

I well remember the time Solomon helped spread white-supremacist disinformation about the Oklahoma City bombing. Writing for the AP, Solomon regurgitated far-right conspiracy theories designed to "prove" that Bill Clinton ordered the event.

I tried grappling with the complexities of the OKC case, including Cash's garbage theories, in this 2001 piece for Salon.

I have vivid memories of an appearance Dec. 12, 2017, on a panel at the Re-Wire Policy Conference in Seattle titled "Identity Politics, White Supremacy and the Alt-Right." I was more or less shut down by the other panelists for calling out Matt Shea as a problem for Republicans.
The video at this panel was never posted, but you can get an idea what kind of conference it was from this.

I explained that white supremacists already had a policy presence in the form of Shea -- at the time No.2 in the House GOP caucus -- and was attacked by other panelists (primarily libertarian Robin Koerner) for allegedly smearing him. Shea is a nice man, the audience was assured.

1) This year, 2019, marks an important centennial anniversary in America—but it is one that not only are we not celebrating, it’s also a significant moment most of us aren’t even aware of: the 100th anniversary of the Red Summer of 1919.

2) Warning: This is an extremely long 150-tweet thread. It contains some violent images involving lynching, generally held to a minimum. The text is horrifying. It’s a history lesson—and not one for the faint of heart. You can decide if the subject warrants the unusual length.
3) There are reasons we do not commemorate the events of those months. Nearly all of them have to do with the deep shame that lingers for one of the darkest, most violent moments in American history—not to mention the monstrousness it reveals.

Stress, anxiety and depression are not uncommon in a lawyer’s life. According to a survey conducted in the USA by John Hopkins University in the 1990s, lawyers are 3.6 times more prone to depression than other people.

#stressed #Anxiety #depression #Lawyers #law #lawsikho
India is the country with maximum depression in the world according to recent reports. I know a few things about that.
I have been working as a lawyer since 2012 and have been fighting depression for quite some years now.
My lived experience tells me that depression is not uncommon in the legal sector of India. When I talk about it, people around me opens up and confides in me about their troubles. After all, being a lawyer is a demanding job.

(THREAD) This thread discusses the difference(s) between the OPPOSITION RESEARCH conducted by the Democrats in 2016 and the CRIMES committed by the GOP candidate for president during the 2016 campaign. I hope you'll share this thread with anyone who you think might be interested.
1/ From the moment he decided to run for POTUS in 2016—November 2012, per his own advisors—Trump told about as many lies about his foreign entanglements as he'd continue to do as president: that is, thousands. Each potentially hid the fact he'd been compromised by foreign powers.
2/ For this reason, and because Trump was widely known to have lived a life of white-collar crime and personal infelicities that could open him up to blackmail, REPUBLICANS decided to conduct aggressive opposition research on him during the GOP primaries. washingtonexaminer.com/washington-fre…

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

Today, @CER_EU publishes my piece on #Brexit and #JHA. I have been looking at this for 1,5 years so I hope I did not make too many mistakes (links to piece - cer.eu/publications/a… and opens thread)
At the outset of the #Brexit process, most people assumed that a deal on #police and #judicial co-operation was easier to get than one on #trade. Time has shown this is not the case. Ongoing co-op on #JHA is one of the few items yet to be agreed on #withdrawal deal. Why?
Well, because the #EU and #UK's opening positions in the #negotiation are incompatible: Britain wants a #bespoke agreement with the EU, a la #Schengen, but is not willing to accept #ECJ or #EUCharter. EU wants to replicate existing models. What to do?
