🧵So remember when Texas passed a heartbeat bill banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable (which can be as little as only six weeks, long before most pregnancies are detected)? You may or may not also know that the enforcement of this is outsourced: /1
enforcement of this act is not done by the state, individuals not associated with Texas state or local government (including people outside of TX suing about an abortion performed in TX) can bring civil lawsuits against *anyone involved in providing the abortion*, /2
including donating money to pay for the procedure or even driving the patient there.
If the judge finds that a preponderance of evidence The $10,000 in "injunctive relief" (to be paid by the defendant) is awarded to the people bringing the lawsuit. /3
I'd like to offer a few words about why Parler's "Russian IP" is nothing of note to me.
First, the IP belongs to ddos-guard, a CDN (Content Delivery Network). First, a CDN is a service gets content to your site visitors faster through methods which aren't important right now. /1
Well, it kind of is, hrm. There are two ways it makes it faster: 1. by putting copies of often-loaded content closer to the end users, and by using a dedicated network to spread out to places closer to your end users. There's a problem: right now DDOS-guard isn't doing that.
Right now, when you look up Parler.com, the return is a single IP address in Russia. That IP is not in Russia, it's in Belize.
Man at PA hearing who claims to have witnessed several possibly suspicious things involved with the voting, none of which were definitely fraudulent in any way: "I think there were honest people who saw what they wanted to see," with absolutely no self-awareness.
OH MY GOD THIS GUY IS TRYING TO DESCRIBE BITLOCKER AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT BITLOCKER DOES.
Imagine a hearing with Nunes, Collins, Gaetz, and Jordan, with their hand-picked witnesses.
1. It looks like the transition might finally be on! 2. I HATE GETTING POLICY ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM MY GOVERNMENT VIA TWEET 3. I know you hate seeing Trump's tweets, but this is a big deal.
One of two things is true: 1. A bunch of people at the White House just staged an intervention 2. Trump will be rage-tweeting in about 30 seconds
Okay, #2 might be true regardless of #1
Once again, Parler is taking this with its customary aplomb:
