1/ Trump supporters who stormed the capitol think polite debate accomplishes nothing and thag they will be ignored. So they are now resorting to other means.
I wonder where they got that idea?
2/ When Bret Kavanaugh was sworn in protestors swamred the Supreme Court and pounded the doors.
They didn't get in, but not for a lack of trying
3/ In 2017 there were 5 people shot, and congressman Steve Scalise almost died, when a gunman with a list of Republicans opened fire at a practice for the congressional Republican Baseball team.
4/ The mayor of Portland held a press conference *3 days ago* to discuss the lawlessness and violence Antifa had brought into his city.
5/ Now, don't misunderstand me. I am NOT condoning the violence. In fact I have already stated that we must bring in the troops to deal with the Trump supporters who have stormed the capitol.
Order must be restored and the seditious rioters prosecuted.
6/ That said, the elite media class of academics, influencers, celebrities, and *journalists* who make up the #resistence, spent all summer saying "riots are the language of the unheard," as a way of excusing and justifying violence, vandalism, and riots in the streets
7/ This is an intentional strategy. The book Beautiful Trouble tells radical leftists to shift the overton window (the limit of acceptable opinion) ro the left by "amplifing and echoing the voices of those who take a position a few notches more radical than what you really want."
8/ Here Oberlin college professor Jenny Garcia explains "when there’s violence, protests can make it a more salient issue and provide greater pressure on elected officials and candidates," and how that pressure created by violence is used as leverage by woke political activists.
9/ This is all extremely well thought out.
Alex Hundert defended "a diversity of tactics" (a euphemism for using violence) in Rabble Magazine. He explicitly says committing to non-violence is "dogmatic" and "stifles debate" about which tactics are ok. rabble.ca/news/2010/03/d…
10/ What did people think would happen when Trump supporters figured out what was going on? They were going to go do the same thing.
None of that justifies what happened today. As I said earlier the trrops should be sent it, capitol stormers arrested, and law and order restored.
11/ The people who amplify the voices of fringe radicals to shift the debate and using violence at protests to create political leverage act as though this all came out of nowhere when Trump was elected.
Nonsense, those same people been teaching this to their activists for years
12/ If you want to know how bad it is here is a story:
In 2017 after Donald Trump became President, a group of activists organized "The Women's March," which was covered in the media with positive coverage leading up to and following the March....
13/ The organizors of the women's march then decided to organize a general strike called "a day without a woman.
One of the women who helped organize "a day without a woman" and helped write the manifesto calling for "a day without a woman" was Rasmea Odeh.
14/ Rasmea Odeh is a convicted terrorist. In fact, she gave an interview with the Journal of Palestinian studies in 1980 where she admitted she was part of the 1969 Jerusalem Supermarket bombing that killed two people.
But it gets worse...
15/ At the 1972 Olympics in Munich, a group called "Black Steptember" took 11 Israeli olympians hostage. They demanded the release of 234 prisoners, many of them convicted terrorists.
There were attempts to free the hostages but they didn't work... britannica.com/event/Munich-M…
16/ During one of the rescue attempts there was a mistake. The kidnappers became aware of the attempted rescue, so they decided the kill the hostages. All 11 Israeli's which included athletes, coaches, and other members of Israels olympic delegation were murdered.
Guess what...
17/ The Black September terrorists had a list of 234 prisoners (many who were convicted terrorists) they wanted freed in exchange for the lives of the Isaeli olympians. One of the names on the list was...
Women's March activist and "Day Without a Woman" organizer, Rasmea Odeh
18/ When Odeh's terrorist ties were made public many activist groups and media people defended her, saying that she was being targeted for political reasons and not, you know, being a terrorist.
19/ What Trump supporters did today was awful and those who vandalized and broke into the senate amd capitol ought to be punished to the full extent of the law. Troops must be sent to stop the Trump supporters if nothing else works. As I said earlier:
20/ But spare me the absolute nonsense about how this is new and different. Woke activists have pushed this exact form of politics for years now. It's wrong either way, and I've said that from the beginning of this account. Buut don't pretend any of this started with Trump.
21/ One last thing:
Trump people get your act together and stop this. Don't wave a blue
lives matter flag or a your thin blue line flag and then go the capitol or senate buildings and assault police officers. That is just a pile of nonsense and baloney.

1/ Healthcare organizations are bringing DEI into everything because accreditation agencies that give the accreditation required to receive medicare funding (effectively gatekeeping medicare funding) are making DEI part of their mission.
Woke Accreditation agencies,
A Thread🧵
2/ Let begin with medical education.
The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education accredits organizations offering continuing medical education.
They have decided to make DEI initiatives central to what they do
3/ Their strategic plans says they are "incorporating the issues of diversity, health equity, and inclusion into all aspects of accredited education."
This means medical organizations that do continuing education will be required to have DEI incorporated into their programs.
Gen z is going through gender-based asymmetric polarization because the left convinced women everything is political and refusal to adopt leftist politics makes one complicit in oppression
This idea has been floating around universities since the 90's
The problem with the claim was pointed out in 1993 by John Searle:
That a thing has political consequences does not mean the essence of the thing is political, the purpose of the thing is political or the standards by which the thing is judged ought to be political standards...
By way of example: every action humans do (an most thoughts they have) effects their heart-rate.
This does not mean that "everything is cardiovascular," or that the standard by which everything is judged it "what effect does this have on heart-rate."
Remember, the radical left advances their ideology dialectically: they set up a thesis (identity politics), and antithesis (economic class warfare), then create "synthesis" made from elements of both.
What AOC is trying to do is mix identity politics with class warfare...
The goal here is to try and pick up economic issues (inflation, poverty, wage stagnation, unemployment) and link them into the identity politics "intersectionality" framework.
The way this will work is by connecting their map of class to their identity politics framework...
2/ Disparate impact in the United States refers to practices refer to rules that adversely affect one group of people more than another, even if the rules applied are neutral.
This means disparities in outcome at the group level can be taken as evidence of discrimination...
3/ This means even if the rules are neutral and applied fairly to everyone, if a group is underrepresented that group can potentially sue for discrimination.
This is the anchor at the core of civil rights law that allows woke activists to engage in legal warfare.
1/ A Hospital in Missouri gave "Transgender Medicine" to an 8 year-old.
A study of trans identified youth in Missouri included children as young as 8 years-old. Red states have some of the worst offenders for giving experimental cross-sex procedures to kids.
Let's take a look🧵
2/ According to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City has performed up to 34 sex change procedures on children. Researchers from that hospital say kids as young as 8 years old come in for what they call euphemistically call "gender affirming care" stoptheharm.com
3/ It is very common for hospitals in red, conservative, republican voting states to engage in some of the worst forms of experimental cross-sex procedures on children unless laws are passed that stop them.
Missouri has such laws, but laws in other states have been struck down.
The Privy Council's Office (which supports the Prime Minister) issued a report saying by 2040 Home ownership will be unaffordable, Social mobility will decline, the economy will shrink, and building a better life will be impossible.
2/ The job of the Privy Council's Office is to support the Prime Minister, so this report was issued by the branch of government whose job is to specifically support the current government.
According to this report, downward Social Mobility is about to become the norm in Canada.
3/ The report says Canada's education system is headed toward failure, and that soon Canadians will not be able to rely on post-secondary education as a way to increase their social mobility and income.
