Stop whatcha doin',

The image and the style that ya used to Image
Tracked-out and expanded San Serifs atop a field of wavy lines...

—an homage to the title sequence for the docudrama 'Worm Wood' wherein in 1953 the CIA drugs and kills Frank Olson one of their top scientists?

#designtwitter who wants to tell them? Image
Also, @grillitype are you ok with the CIA using your fonts like this? You have provided typefaces to so many laudable nonprofit campaigns and efforts but to see GT Sectra and GT America Extended used in this manner is a fucking gut punch.

#designtwitter Image
Who on here thinks @grillitype should refund and revoke the CIA's license to use GT's webfonts in their new rebrand?

#designtwitter
Appreciate @grillitype's statement on this but will GT commit to refunding the purchased license and asking the agency with a sordid history of warcrimes to no longer use their font?

1.) The Odal rune (Thor's Hammer) on his abdomen has been adopted by many (often white supremacist) Odenist groups.

2.) The Norse Valknut (three triangles) on his chest has been coopted by US white nationalist groups and was prominent at the deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally. ImageImage
Coincidently the gentleman to his right (Jason Tankersley) is also a Neo-Nazi. Here are a few photos of his myriad looks his tattoos, however are a little less subtle. ImageImageImageImage

Can someone please explain to my why Devin Nunes is being awarded the Presidential Medial of Freedom?

Similarly incomprehensible, why is Devin Nunes suing Twitter alleging that I am conspiring with a man whom I never heard of (+dozens of others) to stalk and "cyber-attack" him? ImageImage
Nunes and his attorney Stephen Biss repeatedly abuse litigation in pursuit of @DevinCow (a parody cow account) who celebrates their first amendment protections in order to lampoon Nunes online.

@DevinCow doesn't control this account, I don't know who @DevinCow is, full stop. Image
While I'd love to laugh this off I can't help think about the chilling effect actions like Nunes' have on the 1st Amendment.

Moreover, the language of "interstate stalking" and "conspiracy" with people I've never met is eerily similar to the language used in my SHAC7 indictment.

Last year I met with a source to learn more about how the alt-right was financed. What they explained was a shell game wherein Peter Theil would take a meeting and then later Jeff Giesea would work with them to set up an LLC "production company" that would receive Theil capital.
The source described to me how recipients ranging from alt-light "mens right advocate" Mike @Cernovich, to the neo-nazi troll "Weev" benefited from this financial structuring routing money from Peter Theil's "Theil Capital" by way of @jeffgiesea into the specifically formed LLC.
According to the source another bizarre benefactor in Peter Theil's shell game was Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz, who once served as a co-producer of one of Mike @Cernovich's propaganda films. According to the source once again in this case @JeffGiesea cut the checks for Theil.

Militarized Federal Agents from a patchwork of outside agencies have begun policing Portland (in rented minivans vans) without the explicit approval of the mayor, the state, or local municipalities. This is what that looks like in practice:
Now combine these tactics with cities/regions known for Trump-emboldened vigilantes wearing similar gear and you have a very dangerous and unpredictable cocktail.

Clear identification is key to de-escalation.
For folks asking "who are these guys?":

Four federal law enforcement agencies including U.S. Marshals, Federal Protective Service, Customs & Border Protection & Homeland Security Investigations have rotated officers through Portland since early July. kgw.com/article/news/i…
