Round of applause to everyone who helped #StopTheDeal !!! sparrowmedia.net/2022/06/coalit…
Letter from Musk's attorney to @vijaya terminating the merger. I hope twitter collects a full $1Bn penalty form Musk for attempting to troll twitter's value like this. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…
@vijaya And yes I said "troll."

Starting in April it became obvious @ElonMusk's offer was spurious at best, and at worst was an attempt to devalue twitter so that another institution like BlackRock can come in "buy" twitter at a devalued price in an attempt to turn a profit.
@vijaya @elonmusk Extra shout-out to @AccountableTech and @UltraViolet for bottom-lining the #StopTheDeal campaign — if you are not following them you should! stopthedeal.com

Documents obtained by @PropOTP in 2019 detailed attempts by Trump's FBI to frame the pro-choice movement as a "violent terrorist threat." It appears that the fear cultivated by this week's DHS "Night of Rage" memos follow a similar baseless narrative. sparrowmedia.net/2019/01/fbi-ta…
@PropOTP When the documents were surfaced @annamerlan covered this lurid FBI narrative with additional detail for @Jezebel: jezebel.com/exclusive-fbi-…

In the past 4 weeks I have been the target myriad hacking attempts.

Personal and professional emails were hacked + used to blast phishing emails.

My linkedin was accessed and briefly shut down.

My facebook account was hacked and suspended.

Malware was installed on my websites
My credit card details were stolen and used to by nintendo switches.

My name and an address was not my own was used in tandem with that card to set up various accounts.
At first I thought this was all apolitical, and now I have some doubts.

This is a dishonest and extremely bad-faith tweet from @senrobportman, the language in the bill would criminalize peaceful protest (like candle vigils) outside the homes of Supreme Court Justices.

The bill would undercut constitutional protections afforded under 1A. Full stop.
@senrobportman Creating parity would likely codify this: law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
Some legal experts argue that it is already illegal to hold a vigil outside a justice's home, but historically as long as events remained peaceful there has been ambiguity in how the above has been enforced.

Needless to say this has nothing to do with a random man with a gun.

This footage, filmed ~5 days ago, shows Ukrainian civilians seeking refuge inside the Mariupol drama theatre. Every room is filled with people taking care of each other, sharing food, water, diapers.

Today Putin dropped a bomb atop the theatre and those seeking shelter inside.
It is difficult to report just how many civilians died in this attack as shelling continues throughout the city but disinformation is already circulating online that dismisses this theatre as a "base" for Azov and devalues those killed as "human shields."

It's simply not true.
UPDATE: Remarkably, rescuers are finding survivors inside the makeshift shelter at the Mariupol Drama Theatre. Some reports from inside Mariupol indicate there may be more survivors. nytimes.com/live/2022/03/1…

Left is Homs, Syria

Right is Kharkiv, Ukraine

When Putin encounters stiff resistance from freedom fighters, he retreats to a playbook of ghoulish aerial bombardment.
My distain for faux-progressive tankie pundits who only view the world through anti-US imperialism blinders has overflown in recent weeks.

Putin's imperial ambition has brought him to commit the most heinous crimes —full stop.

This is Omran, Putin bombed his home in 2016
Of course we should be intersectional.

We should condemn:

Israel's bloody siege of Palestinians in Gaza

Saudi's war crimes in Yemen

The US interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia...

Assad's genocide of Sunnis in Syria

and Putin's nightmarish assault on Ukraine
