In most jurisdictions the act of trafficking a child so they can be abused would be a crime. Here in Texas, a “Family” Court judge is deliberately facilitating it. Outrageous doesn’t even begin to describe it.
After multiple years of legal battles & a shameful failure to act by a Republican dominated legislature, a complex legal case is going to @SupremeCourt_TX — but the underlying facts are simple: a deranged mother wants to chop the penis off her young son.
And the Judge has granted the mother a highly atypical order allowing her the ability to unilaterally spirit the boy away to California, and has allowed her legal team to continue abusing the Family Court system to run out the clock on the father’s right to appeal.
On January 1st, California’s perverse SB-107 will not just allow the mother to mutilate this boy, but it will enlist the State of California to *ensure* it happens — even though the “procedure” is not legal under Texas law, which is the current applicable legal jurisdiction.
Please pray that @JeffYoungerTX’s efforts to #ProtectJamesYounger would be successful and pray that the Supreme Court of Texas would intervene in a decisive way. And also pray that Texas Governor @GregAbbott_TX would be prepared to do what is necessary to #SaveJamesYounger

Yesterday’s 🧵 on Twitter’s abysmal information security ended with the following question “who had access to what? And maybe even more essential: why?”
Let’s let Mudge expound: “Because key parts of leadership lacked the competency to understand the scope of the problem” 🔥🤯 1/
Hey @elonmusk will you release ex-Twitter security chief Peiter "Mudge" Zatko from his confidentiality agreement? He was clearly right about everything in his whistle blower complaint. How did his hiring in late '20 intersect w/ everything else? washingtonpost.com/technology/int…
What really transpired during Mudge's tenure at Twitter, from hiring -- driven in response to the "largest hack of a social media platform in history" in July 2020 by teenagers simply asking users for passwords and going from there, to his subsequent firing is an untold story.
And it would be great to better understand to what extent Parag's tremendous ego, propensity to shade the truth, and personal responsibility for technical failures (as former CTO) played in setting the stage for the events that transpired up to the 2020 and beyond.
In Sep 2019 I became an occasional contributor to @FDRLST w/ some original reporting about the corrupt ICIG that led to the first impeachment; @dbongino and others RT'd me (Dan even amplified a key tweet thread on his show). Engagement & reach spiked, then immediately dropped 1/
The spike & drop isn't unusual per se (flashes in the pan aren't uncommon), but I had half the followers then - apart from the occasional RT from followers with large accounts that breakthrough, reach has been horrendous since. The change over the 2 months is noticeable 2/
Follower-count has been steadily increasing over the past 2 wks, where it had been flat for well over a year. I don't know if it was guilt by association with guys like @dbongino or @seanmdav, or just being a conservative contributing to @fdrlst - but it was real. I seen't it! 3/
Been mulling this over… if POTUS has unilateral authority to declass which is constitutionally derived (I think we agree on that part @ProfMJCleveland) & he has unilateral authority to set the process for doing so, then isn’t the Q of whether he “sufficiently” declass’d it 1/
a constitutional question (if it’s a question at all & not self-proving by his possession), and not one that should be decided by a special master appointed by a district judge in an ancillary suit related to magistrate’s grant of an overly broad general warrant? 2/2
If he had a copy of them from his time as President in an unclassified environment I’d be absolutely convinced that he had done so. It’s a self-perfecting action for POTUS (and arguably VPOTUS)
Also avoid making false assertions in your 1st sentence; if they were "its own … records" they wouldn't have had to go get them, now would they? tbh, the entire case comes down to this question tho: are they the current Executive Branch's records or Trump's presidential records?
this is really just not true either... if they are "Presidential Records" they are not "government property" (in the sense that they belong to the current Executive Branch). Their case for the purportedly classified documents keeps withering away
whoo boy... they keep digging.. (1) documents in NARA's "custody" implies custodianship, not ownership; (2) his "obligation" to deposit them with NARA has no timeline (or sanctions for noncompliance); (3) he can call them personal records & none of their arguments hold ANY water
"hold fire until we have more facts" is good advice, but a pretty ironic admonishment given the conclusion jumping and factual assertions @TPCarney was making last week. 🤷♂️
And elaborated on how Trump kept records "he shouldn't have" -- which is a great big assumption: 2/
Here's the real story: Trump was "custodian" of those records, and REMAINS "custodian" of those records until such time as he hands them over to NARA or determines -- in his sole judgement -- that they're personal records. 3/
