NEW: Last night nazis of Charlottesville-riot-infamy instructed thousands of followers to mass-report accounts of 48 journalists, anti-racist activists, + anti-fascist researchers for retroactive "violations" of @TwitterSafety's new "Private Information Policy." Some down already
Check @chadloder's thread here for a list of accounts impacted by the nazi-led harassment campaign. It's pretty telling that even tweets in that very thread have been taking down for violating Twitter's new rules:

Seems the nazis upset. Naturally they move from whining about me to launching attacks at @ADL

Now that you’re reading, let’s #MakeANaziCry!

Please follow, support, donate to @IntegrityforUSA, the group that #SuedANazi (9 of them) over racist violence in Charlottesville.
I stand corrected: @IntegrityforUSA sued 24 nazis, and they were all found liable. But they’re not done. Under @amyspitalnick’s leadership, Integrity First for America is going to bankrupt even more nazis. Read more about how it’s done here:

Nazis just got @chadloder suspended again for posting public photos documenting public personality Brandon Straka engaging in newsworthy behavior, namely financing and participating in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol, for which he has been convicted in federal court.
Since my last tweet, @chadloder has gone through multiple cycles of getting locked out, appealing, and being brought back online, only to have trolls file fraudulent complaints **against the same posts that made it through appeals.**

My childhood dream of Army service became a living nightmare. At 19, my job was to document torture, death. Mutilated human faces stuck in my mind's eye. It left me incredibly vulnerable in so many ways.

I've been lucky to find other ways to serve, heal.

2/ For years after I got out of the Army I had frequent, incredibly vivid nightmares of my friends getting hurt or killed. It quickly reached a point where I couldn't remember which of my friends were casualties in real life.
3/ As a way to help with my constant confusion, I kept every issue of the @MilitaryTimes, which was the only print publication I knew of at the time to print the names and photos of every KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan. I kept them stuffed in a bag, with photos I had taken in Iraq.

🧵 Today at 10am EST the House Committee on Veterans Affairs will hold a hearing "Domestic Violent Extremist Groups and the Recruitment of Veterans." Video feed and written statements for record will be in this link.

veterans.house.gov/events/hearing…
2/ I've opted to not submit a statement for the record.

The committee's Majority staff have a draft of the statement for the record that I had prepared, and are free to use the information within as they deem appropriate to inform their investigation and their Members.
3/ After weeks of struggling with it, I ultimately decided not to submit a statement for the record because I felt that I could not self-censor and withhold certain content for the sole purpose of "not triggering Republican Members of the Committee."

Fascists, ethno-nationalists, want to exterminate certain groups of Americans. They’re responsible for more deaths and more terrorist attacks in US than foreign groups.

Socialists want to tax the rich.

These things are not equally problematic, Wade.

Prioritize your resources.
The root of the disconnect here is that Republicans are so married to using hyperbole when labeling their political opponents that words become meaningless. When I say “fascism,” I mean it in the literal sense. When they say “socialism,” it’s never clear.
As @VOBOE points out, almost every aspect of the US military is about as close as you can get to a meets-the-definition example of a socialist institution, but this is an affiliation Wade embraces. But seriously — I don’t understand what Wade considers a “threat” by “socialists.”

Hey @WooCommerce — why are you facilitating sales for Robert Rundo and the violent white extremist group Rise Above Movement?

R.A.M. brags on their website that people of color don’t “touch” the junk they sell, money goes to defending domestic terrorists

counterextremism.com/supremacy/rise…
Here’s some of the fascist stuff that @WooCommerce is helping white extremists earn money with. Shirts featuring the neo-nazi Celtic cross (blurred on their website), “Me Ne Frego” which is a Mussolini slogan, and “Fight for your (European) blood”.
Shirts showing an accelerationist neo-nazi throwing a Molotov cocktail, a “One (race) against all (other races)” shirt, and a shirt displaying the neo-nazi-appropriated Sonnerad symbol and a pro-eugenics slogan. @WooCommerce, your company needs to cut ties with R.A.M.

The stakes: The Department of Veterans Affairs is the second largest, behind only the DoD, in terms of both personnel and budget. Follow the handful of reporters dedicated to this beat and hold the department and its leadership, as well as these lawmakers, accountable to veterans
2/x One of the things I hope to see discussed today: How can @DenisMcDonough, @SVACDems, and @SenateVA(R's) best improve transparency, accountability, and trust in the Department of Veterans Affairs?

Answer: Formally recognize a VA Press Corps.
3/x The last Administration, under (confederate fanboy) @SecWilkie, was openly hostile to the press, and instructed staff even at local levels to stonewall reporters. We can't allow this lack of accountability in the future.

It's no secret to people I've been friends with since, or before, my time in Iraq that after coming home I went down a really dark path. Feeling abandoned by the government, having been lied to about the war I served in... 1/4 (via @cnn @afantz) cnn.com/2021/01/12/us/…
and left vulnerable with severe PTSD and little support -- I started adopting conspiracy theories, became a hardcore "libertarian," and was incredibly self-destructive.

How did I pull out of it? A whole lot of therapy at the VA -- and perhaps more importantly... 2/4
...being able to go to school, finding purpose, with the VA's Vocational Rehabilitation program.

It was my experiences as a soldier, and as a veteran, that started me down that dark path. It was the VA that pulled me out, which is exactly what it's designed for. 3/4
