1/5 There's been a new development in the case of Steve Carillo, a former US Air Force counter-terrorism expert turned Boogaloo Boi terrorist, who lead two ambushes last May where he murdered a deputy sheriff & a federal officer.
2/5 This is the same Steve Carillo, by the way, whom Mike Pence failed to mention during a gaslighting speech where he name-dropped one of Dave Patrick Underwood's victims and insinuated he was killed by leftists.
Four MORE Boogaloo Boi Trump terrorists have now been indicted for attempting to obstruct the investigation into Carillo and his accomplice and the first of Carillo's two attacks, in Oakland, where Dave Patrick Underwood died. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
4/5 Jessie Rush, 29, of Turlock, Robert Blancas, 33, a transient in the San Fran Bay area, Simon Ybarra, 23, of Los Gatos, & Kenny Miksch, 21, of San Lorenzo, are all members of the the militia groups 1st Detachment and 1st California Grizzly Scouts. usnews.com/news/us/articl…
5/5 They conspired to destroy communications & other records about the May 29, 2020, killing of federal security officer David Patrick Underwood & attempted murder of his partner as they guarded the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland. ktla.com/news/californi…
# er, that should be "one of his victims, Dave Patrick Underwood,". It's early and it's allergy season and apparently my dyslexia turned around a few words.
Small correction on 2 above: This is the same Steve Carillo, by the way, whom Mike Pence failed to mention during a gaslighting speech where he name-dropped Dave Patrick Underwood, one of Carillo's victims, & insinuated he was killed by leftists.
Dyslexic semi-awake typing FTW.

1/32 Why did Donald Trump's lawyers send a cease-and-desist order to the GOP to stop using his name?
Because it is part of a long-running Trump scam to bleed the GOP dry for his personal gain.
2/ Note: this thread is focusing specifically on how Trump's treated the GOP as his personal piggy bank.
That's why I am leaving out stories about his emoluments violations & grifting the government itself, of which there are many. politico.com/newsletters/pl…
3/ Trump lawyers sent cease-and-desist letters to three of the largest GOP fundraising groups, telling the RNC, NRCC and NRSC to stop using the ex president’s name and likeness in fundraising appeals and merchandise. cnbc.com/2021/03/06/tru…
I do not know if I've mentioned this before, but this here is me. I do not get "seeing things in your head" despite being highly artistic and creative.
I discovered I have this a while back also. Some folks doing a study wanted to speak with me about this. I still don't get this "seeing things in my head" business. They believed that if you were at a 0 like I am, you'd not be very creative, yet I am highly creative.
This idea that you can actually SEE things in your head really baffles me. And I've had the same problem with trying to visualize things.
I can envision whole vast worlds, but I don't SEE them. They're concepts to me. For me, they're words. This may be why I can't draw but I am
1/4 The Trump regime has a history of releasing reports & new policies on days timed to insult its enemies, from striking down a Michelle Obama accomplishment on her birthday to their latest, a smear against the black civil rights movement on MLK day.
2/4 The 1776 Commission was a blatantly racist Trump White House response to the award-winning NYT 1619 Project, which took a hard look at the depths to which racism and slavery has been entangled with American history. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
3/4 Trump formed the commission in September in direct response to the #BlackLivesMatter protests after the murder of George Floyd.
He claimed the REAL problem was too much focus on education about slavery and system racism, which he called "child abuse." forbes.com/sites/jackbrew…
I've been recording what happened on Jan. 6th, the insurrection or sedition or coup or riot or whatever you call it, on other threads, but the more I see, the more I realize it is its own monster, and must be looked at separately.
This began not on Jan. 6th, nor on Nov. 3rd or 7th, nor even the day of that fateful escalator descent. Trump has had a history of reveling in violence for decades, the most infamous case for a long time being his bile against the Central Park 5.
Despite being exonerated of the crimes they were convicted of and spent more than a decade each in prison for, Donald Trump has to this day refused to apologize for demanding their deaths, and long after continued to do so.
1/7 Heroism can come in many forms: USCP Officer Eugene Goodman was the officer in the infamous video being chased up flights of stairs as he PURPOSELY lead rioters away from the then-open Senate chamber door before it was locked.
3/7 A lone cop chased by rioters appears to have deliberately led the mob away from an open door to the Senate chambers — just seconds before armed security was able to lock it down, according to new reports. nypost.com/2021/01/10/cap…
The coronavirus pandemic has been every bit as devastating to black communities as police brutality, carrying away hundreds of young black men before their time due to a system that ages and sickens them prematurely.
"They were pillars of their communities and families, and they are not replaceable. To understand why COVID-19 killed so many young Black men, you need to know the legend of John Henry."
The Rev. Dr. Kejuane Artez Bates was a big man with big responsibilities, son of a single father, father to 5-year-old Madison, full-time pastor and in his 10th year with the Vidalia Police Department. He died of COVID-19 at the age of 36.
