@ISASaxonists @ProfSunnySingh The “yt privileged” who flee Twitter dont get no matter what platform those minoritized (as @ProfSunnySingh writes) will be subject to abuse regardless. Why give up my follows/followers or those I interact w/just b/c a white supremacist So. Afrikkaner
1/
@ISASaxonists @ProfSunnySingh buys Twitter w/nefarious intentions as if that’s not reality everywhere.
If I let white supremacy run me outta town they win and there will be no spaces in which we can exist. We exist in the face of daily white supremacy-this ain’t nuttin new
2/
@ISASaxonists @ProfSunnySingh But the yt privileged who flee twitter and now the US are literally abdicating the power they have to change what we been trying to change for 5-6 centuries….
While it’s as disgusting as it ever was and a heinous misuse of their white privilege which if yt ppl were at all
3/
@ISASaxonists @ProfSunnySingh serious abt dismantling white supremacy, they’d stay and dismantle the MFer..
But no— they flee right when it’s time to get down to business yet claim to be allies
Did they ever ask us what being an ally ment before claiming to be one?

@ISASaxonists @ProfSunnySingh Well and I’m not surprised when confronted with the consequences of NOT dismantling white supremacy that fleeing is the big yt chess move either. 5/ End
THREAD: TIME TO GET HONEST
Although I don’t look it at first glance, I am Lebanese and Af-Am. Because my heart is embedded in both communities I have wrestled with voting daily & still do…
Some might say I should not be wrestling but I am a woman, I have a daughter &
1/
2 communities my vote impacts.
I of myself cannot bring myself to violate every single living value I hold by voting to save my rights over t/bloody genocide of Palestinians.
I cannot live w/such a schism.
But I am not just my single vote—
2/
my vote determines the chords that will reverberate for daughter and both my communities.
I am well aware even if I voted 3rd party… there’d be no win—
We all know only Harris or Trump will be elected and

@NTFabiano You know we do so much research and yeah we find interesting things…
But I gotta ask
WHY ARE WE NOT LOOKING FOR FOLKS WHO BREAK THAT MOLD OR THOSE “NORMATIVE” RULES…
I’ll give you an example
Way back when when (2012-13) it was though APoE was an AD sentence
1/
@NTFabiano I stood up at the conference and asked
1)Could you tell me how prevalent APoE is in the general population 2) and of that pool how many DO NOT develop AD?
(Yeah that went over as you’d expect too)
I mean clearly those with AD had APoE
BUT THATS NOT THE PROBLEM
2/
@NTFabiano The problem is when we come to these conclusions
WE DONT REALLY TRY TO LOOK FOR OUTLIERS.. matter of fact we parito-optimum outliers and call it a day.
Such as when it was though you supposedly could not recover from strokes (mid 70’s) and if someone did IT WAS DISMISSED

CORRECT
From a paper on genocide I wrote way back when:
“These events—ethnic cleansing/genocide/crimes against humanity ARE MASSIVE OPERATIONS
that require a majority, if not the whole of
society’s focused motivation & participation to accomplish.
1/👇🏽
None of this comes down to one man, one leader or one action.
And what drives ethnic cleansing/genocide/crimes against humanity is typically as old as the nation itself and embedded from the beginning (ie., foundational) within the
2/
societies in which these kind of events occur.”

@GaryMarcus The prognosis for FTD-behavioral variant (what I suspect but it could be another type) is continuous decline but as with all dementias ITS NOT A STEADY STATE. Hes been using gestures instead of words for yrs-which might argue for semantic but there’s too much loosening of
1/
@GaryMarcus behavioral inhibitions and judgement for semantic.
TIA is certainly also in play and it could be co-morbid—which would account for episodes of severe disorientation slurring of speech and temporary loss of balance etc etc etc..
Regardless the more demented he becomes the more

@ArabicPrincessV @hebagowayed Koolaid Keith and Kathy that’s who!
This whole thing really pissed me off— and the following
THREAD ABOUT BLAMING T/VICTIM is about as much straight talk as I can manage without sounding insane!
There is NO lesser evil.
Evil is evil!
Is there a less evil version of

@ArabicPrincessV @hebagowayed white supremacy?
NO!
The concept of a lesser evil is a consolation prize.
It means pick for survival so you can change conditions after
