Thread. In the run up to WorldCon in Chicago last week, one of our cyberstalkers resumed sending detailed, explicit death threats against me to organizers of the convention.

This was not the first time. They have left me many dozens of voicemail death threats. 1/ Screengrab of an email sent...
They have sent similar death threat emails to attendees and organizers of other conventions I've attended in the past year. They've gone so far as to calling in a bomb threat to local police during one of them which required a sweep of the hotel with bomb-sniffing dogs. 2/
And, just to put icing on the cake, they have physically stalked me across multiple states, from D.C., to Michigan, to Illinois, where they take spyshots of me from as far away as their camera phones can reach. 3/ Spyshot of me taken by a st...ImageImage
You may notice the most recent of those pictures was posted on the 1,100 page long Kiwi Farms thread dedicated to harassing and terrorizing my family. The #DropKiwifarms campaign has effectively destroyed that hive of scum and villiany, but it was only a secondary source. 4/
The main source of the endless campaign against my family and friends has, every day for the last for years, been an even more focused group of sociopaths and terrorists from the infamous Opie and Anthony fandom community. They have their own web forum, created specifically... 5/
...to continue their obsessive criminal harassment, after their 30,000 subscriber subreddit and thousands of their accounts were purged by Reddit administrators and they were driven off the site. These forums shopped around d for hosts, changing several times until they... 6/
...found hosting in a country that wouldn't boot them for doxxing me and hundreds of other innocent people, most of whom had nothing to do with their imagined feud with me. This site is new.onaforums.net.

I've long avoided publicly linking or even speaking the name. 7/
As you can see in the "literary criticism" section, there are more than ten thousand threads and nearly a quarter million posts dedicated exclusively to their total, clinical obsession with my every tweet, thought, public appearance, and indeed every last detail of our lives. 8/
They use the site to coordinate new attacks, execute, and then brag about the crimes and suffering they've inflicted.

Their state goal in all of this, much like their ideological cousins on now dead Kiwifarms, is to destroy my career, marriage, and drive me to suicide. 9/
And as with @keffals, they've taken active, repeated steps to end our lives. As many of you may remember, my wife and I have been SWATTed by them 4x. My most recent incident ended with me handcuffed naked on our porch with six guns in my face. wisn.com/article/milwau… 10/
Oh and if you're wondering, yes, their website is protected by @Cloudflare, just as Kiwifarms was until last week.

Now, obviously, death threats, bomb threats, stalking, and SWATTing are all serious, felony level crimes. But that hasn't stopped Cloudflare, or their hosting. 11/
I'm coming forward now with all of this because as we've seen over the last month, sunlight is the best disinfectant. For a long time I didn't want to drive traffic to their hellsite or give them the satisfaction of the infamy they seek. But that time is over. 12/
#CloudflareProtectsTerrorists continues to be relevant. I'm closing out this thread with a sort of megathread of other threads I've had to write this year to counter and inform about our experiences being targeted for cyberstalking by OnA. 13/

Because the media is already getting everything as wrong as they possibly can, let's go over what actually happened with Colombia yesterday.

Under Biden/Harris, Colombia accepted more than 400 deportation flights, 120 just in 2024 alone. These were normal commercial planes. 1/
Every was fine. There were no issues. And then Trump came along.

Instead of just sending the same chartered commercial flights of deportees Colombia had accepted hundreds of times, Trump took Colombias, shackled them, and threw them on US Military jets at exorbitant cost. 2/
Not wanting the humiliating, disrespectful, and cruel optics of Colomians in chains thrown off US Air Force jets on his own turf, Colombia's President, rightfully told Trump "Hey, stop being a fascist coded asshole, pendejo."

Trump retaliated with a threat of 25% tariffs. 3/

Learned more about the story of this photo and now I'm mad.

This was taken today at Arlington National Cemetery. The grave belongs to Sgt Nicole Leeann Gee, USMC. She was among the 13 US service members killed in a suicide bombing during the Afghan withdrawal 3 yrs ago. 1/ Image
Donald Trump is directly responsible for her death.

When negotiating the Afghanistan withdrawal, he deliberately cut out the Afghan government in Kabul we had been supporting for 20 years.

Instead, he negotiated exclusively with the Taliban. The enemy. 2/
Without any input from Kabul or our other partners in the theater, he released 5,000 Taliban, al Qaida, and affiliated fighters, criminals, and terrorists from prison because the Taliban told him to, swelling their combat force in the months before the withdrawal. 3/

What the last week and a half has taught everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear is a press beholden to profit can never be free or objective.

Biden is bad for the business of the news. His administration has been hugely focused, successful, and free of scandal or leaks. 1/
With only the mundane, boring work of actually governing the country to report on, the business of the News has suffered under Biden. Thier stocks are flat, their readership/viewership is down.

They're starving under the weight of Biden's quiet competence. So, he has to go. 2/
Which is why, either deliberately or just going along with the crowd, they've turned on the hand that literally isn't feeding them. The Maggie Habermans of the world, unable to commit anything but "Access" journalism long for salvation in a return to Trump's death and chaos. 3/

There's a disconnect among people, especially on the Left, about money in politics.

On one hand, you need a lot of money just to buy your way into the game. But once you're there, money quickly hits the point of diminishing returns.

No amount of cash buys a 17 point margin. 1/
Please don't misunderstand me. Citizens United and the flood of unaccountable dark money it injected into our politics was one of the most damaging, distorting decisions inflicted on our democracy by a bought and paid for SCOTUS majority we're only now beginning to recognize. 2/
And yet, it remains true cash isn't king in American elections. Money can sway close elections, those within the margin of polling error.

But we've seen over and over big money media spending only goes so far before falling off.

But it's really good at money laundering. 3/

A lot of otherwise very sharp people are saying "I can't believe the defense called Costello!"

The defense didn't call Costello. Trump did.

The defense did finally manage to get it through Trump's thick skull he couldn't take the stand without 1 of 3 equally bad outcomes. 1/
1) Self incrimination
2) Contempt of Court charge
3) Perjury charge

There was no other possible outcome. I sincerely doubt Trump would've made it through his own defense questions, much less cross examination. He's just too stupid, arrogant, and combative. 2/
We saw just how awful of a witness he was at the 2nd E Jean Carroll civil trial, where he probably rang himself up another $50 million in punitive damages on the witness stand.

I'm sure his lawyers used that to get through to him how bad an idea it was. 3/

An open letter to the "Genocide Joe" crowd:

Biden is not the President of Israel or CiC of the IDF. He doesn't control Israeli foreign policy nor its military.

The man who does, Bibi Netanyahu, is a far-right fascist actively hurting Biden and trying to elect Donald Trump. 1/
Israel is a major developer, manufacturer, and exporter of weapons in its own right. They are fully capable of standing on their own in a limited engagement like the Gaza invasion, and Bibi has said he would do exactly that if need be. 2/
Biden could cut ALL military aid to Israel, including defensive aid for things like the Iron Dome AMS that clears the sky of Hamas and Hezbollah rockets aimed at Israeli civilians and Bibi would still have all the resources he needs to do whatever he wants in Gaza. 3/
