Matthew Williams, who did more than 15 years at the FBI, identified himself on LinkedIN as the "Co-lead of Trust & Safety" — a job which would have made him a close associate of team leader Yoel Roth

Jeff Carlton worked for the FBI and CIA before joining Twitter in May 2021. His now deleted LinkedIn account says he led Twitter’s Strategic Response Team of 50+ "employees/agents" in resolving the highest-profile Trust & Safety escalation

NEW from me

Eric Adams has officially broken political ties with his longtime friend Hiram Monserrate, endorsing Monserrate's City Council primary opponent Francisco Moya

nypost.com/2021/02/20/eri…
Hiram Monserrate was expelled from the State Senate in 2010 after slashing a girlfriend in the forehead with a drinking glass

Adams defended Monserrate at every turn throughout the process and voted against his expulsion from the chamber

nypost.com/2021/02/20/eri…
Though they have cut political ties, the two remain personally close.

Adams attended Monserrate's 2016 wedding, a birthday party for him in 2018 and an Ecuadorian culture festival in 2019

NYU has canceled the class "Reporting on the Far Right" originally going to be taught by Talia Lavin after only two students signed up

Lavin resigned from the New Yorker last year after falsely accusing a disabled ICE agent of having a Nazi tattoo

thewrap.com/nyu-cancels-fo…
Lavin's faculty bio has been scrubbed from the NYU website

journalism.nyu.edu/about-us/profi…
Am told by @Penenberg that the decision to cancel had nothing to do with Lavin's past issues or other writings but was only a result of low enrollment
