While promoting his upcoming role as a fictionalized version of Tim Ballard of Operation Underground Railroad, a group that has tried very hard to claim it has no QAnon connections!
In part 1 of our investigative series about OUR @timmarchman and I found the group has a pattern of exaggerating the rescues they claimed to have conducted, and even implied they’d rescued a young girl who in fact escaped her trafficker on her own: vice.com/en/article/k7a…
In part 2 we looked at their blundering overseas missions, which experts told us could do more harm than good. Some of them were carried out using “intelligence” from a Mormon psychic named Janet. google.com/amp/s/www.vice…
There will be a part 3.

New from me: legislators in at least five states have introduced a COVID "Vaccine Bill of Rights" at the state level, a supremely wild document based on model legislation first written by the controversial group America's Frontline Doctors. vice.com/en/article/epn…
I also wrote about the ways that anti-vaccine activists have spent the pandemic working at the state level: wooing legislators, attending conferences, fearmongering on a more local level. It's working.
The Frontline Doctors, of course, are seared into the collective memory because Dr. Stella Immanuel spoke at one of their early press conferences. As @willsommer reported, she likes to talk about the medical problems caused by alien DNA and demon sperm. thedailybeast.com/stella-immanue…
Q fans are not surprisingly declaring that they’ll remain unvaccinated to own the libs
It’s not just Q folks though- I very gently commented on a thread of folks fearmongering about the J+J vaccine and now this guy wants me to know that because of the “fandom culture” of dumb bitches like me for he’s OUT
Some of these guys are literally going to risk severe illness and death to feel like they’re spiting someone they don’t like, which.... okay bud

Shocked to learn that an unbearably dorky actor behaves like an alleged sex pest as soon as he’s around so-called alternative ladies in an environment that prizes secrecy and exclusivity!
I got vaccinated yesterday. I am so relieved. for my fellow asthmatics, it WAS one of the conditions asked about when I made my appointment. Meanwhile globally we are still totally fucked because of greed and shortsightedness! nytimes.com/2021/03/21/wor…
Here’s how I got an appointment: I signed up for CarbonHealth, which lists appointments for max vax sites here in LA. At like 1:07 yesterday an appointment popped up for 1:10, clearly a cancellation. If you need to get yourself or an elder vaxxed, it pays to refresh that site
But as relieved as I personally am, like, if we don’t force these companies to share the vaccine recipe and start mass producing for every country, it’s going to be meaningless in like two months. Why are we doing this to ourselves!!!
New from me and @timmarchman: a monthslong investigation on the overseas work of the anti-trafficking charity Operation Underground Railroad. We begin with the fact that one of their sources for an operation in Haiti was.... a psychic medium. vice.com/en/article/bvx…
OUR did not dispute to us that they've used a psychic named Janet as a source for this and other investigations. Instead, they defended the practice.
People who worked with OUR also disputed the claim that most of the overseas "jump team" are ex-military; one person told us that is "complete and utter bullshit." We confirmed that real estate agents, donors and other inexperienced people were among the "operators."
