Seriously here is how Bernie Stans waste time on Twitter... reporting people who dare criticize their savior...
Y’all still losing... it’s a lifetime trend with some people... keep coming: no one cares
Anyone who would report that tweet and try to get me punished for it—or who would defend those who did—is an idiot and the kind of pathetic authoritarian leftist who deserves to be ignored . You are why we can’t have nice things...
But ya know free speech is just a bourgeois freedom so...
And yes I know free speech doesn’t protect Tweets FFS... my point is, any movement that would try and Twitter ban mere criticism of Bernie would do far worse if they could... and they know it.

Who is more moral...a kidnapper who despite his actions waxes eloquent about liberty, or a kidnapped person who kills those responsible for his bondage so as to live the values spoken of by the first? Now insert Thomas Jefferson and Nat Turner in the respective slots and discuss.
And if the example makes you uncomfortable ask why. The only possible answers are that you don’t see slaveowning as equal to kidnapping or that you think persons kidnapped are morally obligated to resist only by non violent means...
And yet u would NEVER say that about the women kidnapped by Ariel Castro and held for years against their will. If they’d slit his throat in the middle of the night everyone would have understood & applauded. But black folks killing white slavers? Um, well... it’s complicated!

Exactly. The thing that prevents us from already having such a system is white resistance to benefits for POC. That’s why the US safety net is so weak. Tons of research on this. Sadly, simplistic class based activists don’t get how real the psychological wage of whiteness is
And they especially do t understand how simply making the “rational class based interest” argument for such things (or their candidates) doesn’t work, again, Bc of whiteness. And they don’t want to learn or adapt new strategies that take that into account...
Side note: meant to mention that the “psychological wage of whiteness” concept is from WEB Dubois. Ran out of characters but wanted to give credit where due as I have previously when tweeting out this argument...also relates to Cheryl Harris’s whiteness as property concept

1/ As much as Trump flirts w/anti-Semitism (retweets Nazis, C'ville comments & comments to Jews about 'u people') to think his nickname for Adam Schiff (Shifty) is a thought-out dog whistle gives too much credit. It's literally a sound-alike thing typical of emotional 9 year olds
2/ I realize it can have that memetic effect, even if not intended, and impact is the important thing. That said, pretending it was volitional makes Trump seem far more deliberative than he is. Sometimes a child is just a child...
3/ I mean, don't we all see him sitting around thinking, "what goes with Schiff?...I know, Shifty!" And what goes with Nancy (as in Pelosi)..."maybe fancy...no that's not good...how about "nervous" cuz it has an 'n'...!" That's the level of emotional intelligence were dealing w/

THREAD — OBAMA REASSURES THE DONOR CLASS

The Beltway establishment (GOP, corporate Dems, and elite media) are worried about the Too Far Left™ movement sparked by #Bernie.

So here comes Obama going after "certain left-leaning Twitter feeds..."

nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Here's the problem: The GOP is all about white supremacists and plutocrats, while the Democratic Party leadership is all about "let's all get along and make sure Chuck Todd and David Brooks like us."

So where does that leave the rest of America?

Screwed.
If we open our eyes for just a minute, we see a landscape of struggle, suffering, anguish, stress, fear.

We see rampant injustice, inequality, and violence.

HOW LONG WILL WE ACCEPT IT?

HOW LONG WILL WE LET THE ESTABLISHMENT NORMALIZE IT?

Here's my thread of my own threads, from racist history to misogyny and hot sauce, and everything in between. This is mostly to help me locate my own threads more quickly, but maybe it'll be helpful to you, too. 👇🏻
First, whenever someone says "the Democrats were the party of slavery/the KKK/segregation," I just share this thread with them.
Here's my thread on how hot sauce oddly explains sexism in politics, Hillary Clinton, and the 2016 election. People keep pulling this one up and sharing it with people to dispel myths.

📊#Time for monthly #stats

Good news! #ISIS activity on @Twitter decreased again in June: 7 195 new 🎯That's 12% less compared to May.
Again, 88% of these accounts were hacked: old, inactive, weakly protected.
They could easily be frozen in bulk. 😐

Thanks everyone!

📊Time for monthly #stats

In average, we found 240 new #ISIS accounts per day in #June2019 (May: 263). Always the same guys, coming back again and again, spreading mostly the same propaganda month after month.
A bunch of losers...

#opiceisis
📊Time for monthly #stats

Less good news now. With 6 903 suspensions for 7 195🎯, the outcome (96%) slightly dropped again, by 1%.
@TwitterSupport provided a lower service this month for #ISIS accounts removals, both in terms of quantity...

This was already addressed mid-thread. You do realize filing lawsuits costs money to the court, yes?

Not getting paid != going into the hole paying the court costs

The goat's still waiting...

There are a few options. Provide evidence he wasn't there or X wasn't there, or depose X and challenge X's credibility (history of lying, etc), or provide evidence X is lying (emails, texts, etc), or get on the stand to say "that's false" and pray

They're too dim to realize ppl find out about the GFMs *because* they were shared on Twitter

Women's day wishes for brands:

1. Nykaa - you're awesome. Start a subscription box.

2. W - NOBODY WEARS TASSELS TO A WORK MEETING. STOP MAKING KURTAS WITH BOBBLES AND TASSELS.

3. Zivame - MOAR swimsuits.

4. NO ONE IN INDIA MAKES SENSIBLE WORK/FLAT SHOES
Warehouse, Westside, Nuon, Melange, Allen Solly, And (other Indian high street western wear brands).

By the time I can afford your clothes, I can't fit into a size 8 or go to work in a mini dress. Make knee length dresses for women with hips. Yes.
Sephora. You suck in India. Your staff is bored and disinterested and you only stock for fair skin tones. #waste

Whisper start a subscription box.

Bring back cuticura.

Bombay Paisley. Make clothes I can wear to a meeting not brunch.

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
