@JoyAnnReid why is your broadcast running ads for the American Edge Project? First of all, all good democracy loving folks need to support anti-trust laws being enforced against tech. Secondly, the ultra RW Bradley Foundation has supported the work of this group’s chairman. 😡
Is tech getting nervous about anti-trust? @gregolearand @bpettichord discussed it on Greg’s recent podcast. It’s really worth listening to. American Edge Project, the group behind this ad, seems worth investigating. @anelsona @davetroy @profcarroll @carolecadwalla @MotherJones
American Edge Project. This group is laughable on its face, especially given how they’re trying to sell tech as making the world a more tolerant place. Founder, Bradley Smith ties to Citizens United winning “logic” and the CNP’s the Bradley Foundation. americanedgeproject.org/who-we-are/
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_S… Bradley Smith is red flag city:
🚩 The Bradley Prize
🚩Citizens United
🚩Goldwater Institute 
🚩Buckeye Institute/State Policy Network
🚩Cato Institute
Former Governor, (R-NM) Susana Martinez is interesting too.
🚩Chair of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) from 2015 to 2016
🚩Anti-LGBTQ
🚩Anti-abortion 
🚩Pro-separation of detainee parents from children
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susana_Ma…
@xeni do you think there’s any connection with the Edge Foundation and this group?
@SilverbearHeart Michigan and Romney connections.
@Tentoads4truth This might interest you. Koch ties.

1. GOP uses LE and IC heads to their benefit. Wray is clearly a GOP asset and needs to go.

THREE STRIKES:

❌Chris Christie Bridgegate 

❌Wray’s old law ties with Gazprom, Rosneft and Firtash 
    
❌Wray’s membership to the ULTRA conservative Federalist Society

2. Wray-Chris Christie Bridgegate 

“Wray's role as Christie's attorney has been shrouded in secrecy.”

3. Wray-Gazprom, Rosneft and Firtash

“He (Firtash) is under federal indictment in Chicago for racketeering charges, has had numerous financial dealings with former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort...”

1. LGBTQ+ and HEALTHY DEMOCRACY
 
If we want to understand this political moment we have to realize things like blackmail have been used against politicians. Donald Trump and Roger Stone were mentored by Roy Cohn who used blackmail extensively.
2. Additionally, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell ended because the military didn’t want people living double lives who had security clearances. This change in protocol was enacted to lessen security risks.
3. But we have an entire party of a two party system in the United States that is anti-LGBTQ+. This is a security risk and we should talk about it as such. Healthy Democracy demands that people live their lives healthfully and openly.

1. Thread: HEALTHY DEMOCRACY REQUIRES TRANSPARENCY AND PROTECTION FROM THOSE WHO WISH US HARM.

DEMOCRATS! We must pass legislation that is far more protective, that regulates social media and other industries where there are issues of national security.
2. Whether it’s foreign influence/money in our social media, food supply chain, medical systems, tech industry we need to be aware of dark money and influence so we can fix it. This is a matter of national security.
3. This is an issue in many sectors but we can see it very clearly in social media. Its important to note, Facebook and Twitter took Russian connected investment money to get started. This should be of concern to everyone, especially as we see how Parler was probably the same.

Is it merely coincidence that all three priests, McCloskey, Rossi, Bransfield, credited with converting Newt Gingrich to Catholicism have been recently revealed to be sexual predators? Wat say Ming? @MingGao26 @ninaandtito @ericgarland
“Year by year, I was drawn in by the work of rectors Msgr. Michael Bransfield and Msgr. Walter Rossi”
m.ncregister.com/blog/tim-drake…
“McCloskey was previously known for having helped convert a number of people to Catholicism, including Newt Gingrich, Sam Brownback, Lawrence Kudlow, & Dr. Bernard Nathanson” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._John_M…

Here’s an interview with Matthew Fox with some interesting commentary on the Catholic rivalry between Opus Dei/Cardinal Burke/Steve Bannon’s theofascism versus a more moderate Pope Francis. therealnews.com/stories/mfox02…
