Hi there, here's a thing I wrote in the immediate aftermath of the Jeremy Dawson doxxing incident

I had--and have--complicated feelings about it. The recent WaPo article does a very good job of capturing the weirdness of the whole thing, I think

Here's the footage I took on November 14th--all 15 excruciating minutes

I am thankful to have been working with @Johnnthelefty that night, who's about the best guy imaginable in situations like this and whose work you should definitely check out

Here's the WaPo article by @RobertKlemko if you're interested:

I will now take an extended Twitter break so as to avoid the shrieking that will likely commence from various corners of the Internet, have a lovely day A picture of Bugs Bunny in ...
Popping back in very briefly without checking mentions to add that there's been some interest in the thesis mentioned in the article: it's on my website. Feel free to check it out if you hate yourself and want to suffer through 200 pgs of academic writing

The flashing lights go off just outside La Paz and you pull over. You get your Google Translate ready

The police officer tells you that it is illegal to drive with a busted-out rear windshield
You explain to the cop that you were robbed a few days ago and the shop can't fix the window until Tuesday, 5 days from now

The cop says he has to uphold the law and give you a citation, and you say it's bullshit to treat you like a criminal for falling victim to a crime
The cop tells you the police report you show him is no good because it's from Cabo San Lucas and you should have stayed there to get the window fixed.

You show the cop your insurance letter sending you to a repair shop in La Paz

He does not give a single shit, obviously

Sitting here watching BehindEnemyLines livestream from inside a parking garage acting like he's under siege with Black Rebel and Haley Adams

OMG they're calling 911
"Antifa have blocked our car in and we're being held hostage," BehindEnemyLines tells 911 oh my god

"It feels like we are sitting prey"

The operator tells them it might be a little while because of the demonstration
The 911 operator recommends they leave their car and leave on foot. "This is an emergency!"

"They have us surrounded and they have weapons"

The operator asks them where they are, then says he'll let the police know

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 with some sort of pattern on it addr
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

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

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)
