With 4 days left to convince Trump to pardon Julian Assange, mind-boggling to see "leftists" crapping on @jimmy_dore for going on Fox News—which Trump is watching —to plead pardon.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE JIMMY BUT STOP ACTING LIKE 3RD GRADERS. Thread...
I don't agree 100% w/ Jimmy's style or approach on all things--but that has nothing to do with the GREATEST THREAT TO FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN OUR GENERATION. What many figures in left media have been doing in their unrelenting deflection away from the ISSUES onto Jimmy is what...
the Khive, Correct the Record @HillaryClinton sycophants, and rest of the Blue-MAGA fanatics have been doing for YEARS....gaslighting and deflecting away from the issues and creating an alternative focus on mean "Bernie Bros" and crying sexism and racism for everything. ENOUGH!
When you're a host with major platforms and you're focus is on Jimmy Dore instead of Assange being kidnapped and tortured (or tens of millions having no health insurance during a pandemic)...you need to reevaluate why you're in this profession.

OUTRAGEOUS...

Now @YouTube @TeamYouTube just REMOVED @StatusCoup & @JonFarina's Livestream reporting from PEACEFUL Virginia gun rights rally bc
"we think it violates our firearms policy."

HOW ARE JOURNALISTS SUPPOSED TO CHRONICLE HISTORY IF YOUTUBE-AND OTHERS-ARE OUTLAWING IT? Image
YouTube, owned by Google, already suppresses our @StatusCoup channel because it PUBLICLY REVEALED IT ELEVATES "AUTHORITATIVE" sources like @CNN and...@FoxNews! But now it's removing our reporting on a 2nd amendment rights rally that was completely peaceful?
YouTube CEO @SusanWojcicki should have to explain to JOURNALISTS why it is she censoring JOURNALISM in an overly broad and misguided facade of cracking down on extremism. What she and YouTube are doing is SUPPRESSING JOURNALISM

OUTRAGEOUS that @Twitter @TwitterSupport BLOCKED @JennElizabethJ @StatusCoup from boosting tweets w/ our #FlintWaterCrisis cover-up bombshell showing Gov Rick Snyder knew about deadly Legionella outbreak WAY earlier than he said

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL AD
Twitter has INTENTIONALLY blocked the ability for us to boost a major bombshell report that shows serious potential crimes because it has decided to suppress and censor reporting and ridiculously label it political campaigning and advertising...
.@Twitter @TwitterSupport should explain to sick Flint residents why IMPORTANT reporting on the govt officials who permanently damaged their health isn't allowed to spread bc Twitter has RECKLESSLY blanketed INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING into the same category as sleazy SUPER PACS ads

NEWS: How a Flurry of Suspicious Phone Calls Set Investigators on Rick Snyder's Trail

My investigation w/ @JennElizabethJ #FlintWaterCrisis theintercept.com/2021/01/13/fli…
Snyder "knew about a Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Flint as early as October 2014, when there was still a significant amount of time to save lives. That was the accusation of investigators looking into the Flint water crisis"
"According to the findings of an investigation launched by Nessel’s predecessor, then-Attorney General Bill Schuette, Snyder was involved in a mad dash of phone calls in October 2014 at the same time the deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Flint was raising alarm bells"

Enough already with the @jimmy_dore obsession & drama. It's not about Jimmy-It's about the idea!

Right now, @SpeakerPelosi has a 4-seat majority. Progressives CURRENTLY have 7 pro-#MedicareForAll House members & 5 more coming. WHY NOT make a demand for your vote (i..e politics)
The whole strategic rationalization of "it's a waste of time; it won't pass" is kind of counter to how actual MOVEMENTS WORK. MLK, Gloria Steinem, Harvey Milk, etc didn't say "let's not bother trying because we won't win on the 1st, 2nd or 5th try."...
Will a #MedicareForAll floor vote pass if progressives force it. No, it won't. BUT THAT IS OK. Part of politics is...wait for it...PERFORMATIVE. Get every House member ON THE RECORD as voting yay or nay for universal healthcare DURING A CATASTROPHIC DEADLY PANDEMIC...

.@jimmy_dore is right to push for @aoc & House progressives to demand #MedicareForAll vote—DURING A CATASTROPHIC DEADLY PANDEMIC—in exchange for voting for @SpeakerPelosi (even if they lose)

Change doesn't come without fighting, issuing demands, & placing oppressors on DEFENSE
Progressives online defending @aoc (who I like and respect) for not doing this by--attacking @jimmy_dore--are missing the forest for the trees. This isn't about whether you like Jimmy or not. It's about progressives who campaigned as FIGHTERS...actually doing so in office.
Of course it is a lot easier for YouTube hosts to second guess elected officials who have an IMMENSE amount of pressure and considerations to make. No one is saying @aoc and other progressives aren't fighters. BUT if you're not going to make demands for #MedicareForAll during...

The corporate media—and Twitter/FB—are still crickets as Hunter Biden's biz partner confirms the emails in @nypost story are real (& that the reference to the "big guy" that 10% equity should be set aside for is...@JoeBiden)

THREAD...foxnews.com/politics/hunte…
B4 #Resistance heads' explode, let me be clear--this is not about the election and/or who u should vote for. Trump is one of the most corrupt president's (and people) in history. This story doesn't make Biden worse or more corrupt than Biden (which is right wing media's goal)...
This is about a PRIME EXAMPLE of how selective corporate media censorship & propaganda works. For 4 YEARS, @msnbc @cnn @nytimes @washingtonpost have recklessly pushed and elevated highly dubious #RussiaGate stories that were MORE SUSPICIOUS than the @nypost Hunter Biden story...
