It's gratifying to see people begin to realize this

It's so many people. Check out the whole thread if you haven't
(Thank you @brainnotonyet for going to the considerable trouble of gathering this information from a truly nauseating corner of the internet)
The recent badjacketing feels a lot like the Russian election interference

Yes, outside forces are manipulating things

But it wouldn't work if people weren't primed for it, and many people are good-faith participating who are not part of the actual plot
Efforts to destroy my reputation culminated in someone encouraging the proxy of an abuser to contact me

He invited me to the abuser's house

If I hadn't done research--if I'd accepted instead of gone silent--I would have ended up in physical danger

I think about that a lot
By posting about this I am inviting further abuse. Or at least that's what I'll be told

Asking for it, you know?

It's classic victim-blaming. If only I'd stop bringing this on myself by not shutting the fuck up

Imagine my excitement when I woke up this morning to an email with the subject line "Why Trump Isn't On Gab," from Gab

The linked video did not disappoint

This masterpiece opens with what must surely be a deliberate parody of bad country music. I cannot overstate how bad it is
Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab and casting reject for Farmer's Only ads, informs the camera that Facebook's oversight board decided to uphold Trump's posting ban. This, Torba remarks, is unsurprising, since they're all filthy, filthy leftists A man in a purple shirt wit...
A banner in the corner of the Gab video informs the audience that 18 of 20 Facebook oversight board members have ties to George Soros

That's right, 30 seconds in and we're already to the antisemitism and strap the fuck in because things do NOT improve as we go on

Who the fuck are these people who are allowing their deep fear of, worst case, feeling slightly shitty for 2 days stop them from getting a vaccine that could

a) save their literal life and

b) help us get to herd immunity

What is your life, seriously, how do you function
It's reminding me of people who thought COVID tests were awful, calm down it's uncomfortable for 5 seconds and then over

What is your sheltered life that the mere thought of physical discomfort becomes worthy of comment, never mind the driver of action
I am not talking about people who for medical reasons CANNOT get the vaccine, because those people exist and obviously that's very different

I am talking about adult human beings who are afraid of body aches and a sore arm

Candace Owens is dropping a Donald Trump interview this evening and is promoting it heavily and not saying what time it drops

It's not on the website either

I understand that this is the least awful thing about Owens but I'm still floored at how BAD they are at this
People sometimes say leftist press are grifters but I assure you if I wanted literal truckloads of cash for very little effort this is not the side I'd be on
Omfg FINALLY

"In the latest episode of “Candace,” which airs on Tuesday May 4 at 9 p.m. EST exclusively for Daily Wire members..."

God damn it i am not becoming a daily wire member for this (probably)

This story reminds me of an incident in which we had to fill out an army-wide survey about sexual harassment

The first time, we filled it out honestly

About a week later all the women in the unit got called during lunch break for an assembly

google.com/amp/s/www.vox.…
The Sergeant Major screamed at us as we sat there, hungry, for about 30 minutes. It seems we'd filled the forms out wrong. Many of us were clearly lying to make the unit look bad

Then he gave us the survey to fill out again

Seems there was no sexual harassment problem after all
And that's how the 508th STB, 4BCT, 82nd Airborne Division solved their sexual harassment problem overnight

Same shit everywhere

Never trust an in-house survey

I have talked before on this platform about my struggles with mental illness
Sorry, were you hoping for a dramatic follow-up?
It's ok because I'm not a real person, once you get 20k followers they take your soul away

The weird racism of menthol cigarette bans, tear gas is bad for you, the Portland Police Bureau's budget is even worse, and a deep dive into Biden's jingoistic speech

Check out the latest newsletter:

getrevue.co/profile/lauraj… Joe Biden giving a speech a...
I'm especially proud of the Joe Biden analysis, which goes pretty deep into things

The speech was not leftist so let's get that out of the way

A lot of his outlined policy changes would materially help people. Baby steps in the right direction are still steps
Biden also outlined his strategy for dealing with Republicans which can be summed up as "compromise with me today or we’ll ram it down your fucking throats tomorrow, you assholes, you obstructionist jerks"

It's a good way to sell noncompromise as reasonable to the general public
