Romanian authorities needed proof that Andrew Tate was in the country so they reportedly used his social media posts. His ridiculous video yesterday featured a pizza from a Romanian pizza chain, Jerry's Pizza, confirming he was in the country.
This is absolutely epic.
Not only did Greta Thunberg destroy Andrew Tate with her tweet, she made him so angry he inadvertently tipped off Romanian authorities of his presence in Romania with his lame comeback video.
Greta is an absolute legend.
A downfall in 4 parts.
Greta's tweet has now become one of the top 25 most liked tweets of all time with 2.8 million likes. It could easily hit the top ten by the weekend. This is absolutely legendary.
Moral of the story. Don't fuck with teenagers on social media. They will completely destroy you.
Andrew Tate and his brother being taken into custody by Romanian authorities.
It gets even crazier. The Council of Europe through GRETA, the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, urged Romania last year to effectively prosecute human trafficking.
Muting this thread. In the meantime, please consider donating to orgs like Reaching Out Romania that help victims of human trafficking. There are real victims involved in this that will need support.
On Friday, the 11th Circuit issued a decision in Darcy v Corbitt that compels forced sterilization of trans people in order to obtain a driver's license that matches their gender identity.
As a basic matter, the logic of the court is bound by prior cases on gender affirming care that holds that transgender status is subject to rational basis and thus any policy discriminating on that basis can easily be justified constitutionally.
However, a basic flaw in the logic of the court is that it does not even treat similarly situated trans people the same! A trans person moving from another state seeking a driver's license that already has their birth cert. and passport gender changed would not need to surgery.
I received these threats this morning. They're signed off on Cyrillic and come from a Russian email address. It's the same person who has been doing this to LGBTQ people and schools for two years.
It's so clear this is a foreign influence op to inflame this story and divide people even further.
For whatever reason, I've been getting cc'd on these bomb threat emails since February 2023. They primarily have targeted LGBTQ people and schools, especially those mentioned by Libs of Tiktok. I've received over 230+ of them. I've reported them to the FBI and it hasn't stopped. thedailybeast.com/how-trans-harv…
Seems very similar to this. It's either a foreign influence operation using troll farm cutouts and centered around culture war issues or some random Eastern European kids. cnn.com/2024/08/30/pol…
JK Rowling funded and orchestrated a smear job to push a trans woman out of her job as head of a rape crisis center in Edinburgh. The media is running with it. The only harm they found was literally a random person being traumatized by the existence of a trans woman.
And the transphobic British media pushing it wholesale. The absolute state of it in the UK.
The main complaint was a terf who ended up working at a Rowling funded center afterwards.
This would all be hearsay in court. They literally do not have a single firsthand accusation of wrongdoing other than having a policy that doesn't illegally turn away trans people.
Elon is threatening a Brazilian Supreme Court justice after the court issued a summons to him which threatens the suspension of Twitter if he does not comply within 24 hours.
Summons with translation.
The Brazilian Supreme Court justice issued orders to comply earlier this month. Twitter closed its local offices to avoid compliance. Now the Justice is escalating by ordering the naming of a legal Rep for Twitter in Brazil or else they will suspend twitter and levy fines.
A federal judge ordered the unsealing of X Corp's investors by September 4, 2024. The list was filed with NDCAL last year and a judge agreed to unseal it on behalf of journalists. The list of investors in X Corp is not currently public.
Thread🧵
The absolutely hilarious part about all of this is that this was a complete self-own by Musk's lawyers. They were attempting to maneuver around claims for not paying out severance for employees after layoffs. They removed the case from state court to federal court.
Federal court requires filing of a corporate disclosure statement. Plaintiffs specifically asked the court to force X Corp to file their list of investors. The court did so and allowed it under seal. The case was then remanded back to state court for lack of federal jurisdiction.
Twitter suspended the account that posted an alleged Twitter API leak showing a slur white-list for protected right wing accounts including libs of tiktok, end wokeness, and Andrew Tate.
So much for free speech.
It's like these people have never heard of the Streissand effect. It may have been a fake leak but twitter acting like this makes it look real and brings more attention to it.
Notable that the person running that account is trans.
Anyways, here's the post. They might try and nuke any account reposting it.
