Roger Stone & Steve Bannon have rarely been photographed together & often act like they are in a feud, which may or not be a show. But the few places where evidence of communication or other overlap exists are worth bookmarking. Here’s one. 1/
2/ Here’s another. “On his January 5 podcast, as reported by Media Matters, Bannon said that ‘we put calls out last night trying to put bail up’ for the leader of the Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio.’” Tarrio is a close Roger Stone associate. jennycohn1.medium.com/what-did-steve…
3/ “In an email he sent Aug. 18, 2016, to Bannon under the subject line, ‘Congratulations,’ Stone wrote, ‘Trump can still win — but time is running out. Early voting begins in six weeks. I do know how to win this but it ain’t pretty…” buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonl…
4/ Wikileaks is another area of Stone/Bannon overlap bc Nigel Farage was Bannon’s contact from Brexit. I believe Stone met Farage for the first time at the 2016 RNC.
7/ This says that Stone & Farage met for the first time at the 2016 RNC.
8/ Unlike Stone, Bannon’s relationship to Farage dates back to 2014 at the latest. Bannon was likely the link between Stone & Farage.
9/ Farage is Bannon’s guy. But suddenly Stone was interacting with him too.
10/ Tarrio (Proud Boys leader) is Stone’s guy, but Bannon worked to spring him from jail right before January 6.
11/ IMO, any time Bannon & Stone overlap like this, we should take note. These two men seem to work together only on the most important (& likely nefarious) aspects of their many machinations.

This chart says it all. If u got double vaccinated early on & are not yet boosted, ur effectively unvaccinated against Omicron infection. Thus, many adults & teens are effectively unvaccinated against infection. Kids got vaccinated recently & thus may be in a safer position. 1/
2/ This chart speaks to infection, not hospitalization. Thus, those who were double vaxxed early on (but are not yet boosted) may still have some protection against hospitalization—just not against infection, & it’s unclear how much that protection against hospitalization is.
3/ The takeaway should be to get your booster if you qualify (eg, based on when you got your last shot). Also, wear N95s or KN95s. I wish my kids’ middle & high schools had required at least KN95s. Rumor is that a third of the high school is out w/ positive Covid.

I told @SpenserMestel (who wrote this misguided piece) that non-expert David Becker—who spread the myth that vote tallies can’t be hacked bc voting machines supposedly never connect 2 the internet—has prevented election security reform. He left it out. 1/ vice.com/en/article/m7v…
Instead, he cited Becker in support of the anti-transparency agenda of his hit piece. Which is odd because he said he had heard this about Becker already from at least one other person & that he would ask Becker how he got it so wrong. Did he ask him? Who knows? 2/
In my opinion, lack of transparency—including failure to message that REPUBLICANS had killed election security legislation b4 the election & the failure to declassify info re: the attack on the 29-6 election—are what enabled Trump to play victim. 3/

Bay Area schools hold firm w/ in-person plans as omicron surges & parents grow concerned - 1/1/22

I hate that there are no good answers. One of my sons, a teenager, had nightmares last night about Covid. He told me he’s scared. I tried 2 reassure him. 1/ sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
I wish the schools wld go online long enough for the kids to get boosted. I couldn’t get an appointment until January 20. The school is at least handing out free kn5 masks & had everyone tested b4 it reopened. 2/
I’m not sure what is meant by “efficacy,” but this chart concerns me. See the part re: Omicron. My boys got their second vaccine in June & no boosters yet. @DrEricDing 3/

“Fasci Italiani di Combattimento” means “‘Italian Combat Groups’; I loosely translate it as ‘gangs of thugs…’” This is what “Mussolini (black shirts) & Hitler (brown shirts) used extensively early on to rise to power.” Here are photos from Portland & Michigan... By @JimSoper 1/
Link to @JimSoper’s piece. I highly recommend reading all of it. Thanks. 2/ countedascast.org/fascism-2020/

The “he” is Roger Stone protege Mike Caputo. He targeted an administrator at @RoswellPark hospital to get her fired. Fun fact: Both Caputo & Stone represented Ukrainian politician Volodymyr Lytvyn after Lyvtyn was suspected of involvement in the beheading of a journalist. 1/
You can learn more about what Caputo did to the administrator at @RoswellPark in the HBO documentary 15 Minutes of Shame. 2/ insights.colliganlaw.com/post/102h876/h…

“Anti-Trump operatives [including Rick Wilson & Cheri Jacobus] targeted in online ‘catfishing’ scheme
Posing as a British solicitor, a con man sought information on the operatives' plans to attack Trump.” 8/23/16 h/t ⁦@CheriJacobus⁩ 1/

“Late last week — after POLITICO began informing people about the impending publication of this article — Jacobus said thousands of emails disappeared from her personal account and that her Internet provider, AOL, told her the account had been hacked.” 2/
“Jacobus said the hack targeted only emails she has received, not those she has sent, and she believes it was an attempt to prevent her from tracing the origins of more emails sent to her as part of the scheme.” 3/
