1/ Thread about how what happened in Charlottesville was probably not an intentional attack. I know this was common knowledge on rw twitter a while ago but the Charlottesville civil trial is happening soon so thought I would remind everyone. This is not meant to glorify JAF.
2/ To set the scene, Fields was forced to turn left onto a one way road, that is blocked by two cars. He backs up before eventually driving forward into the crowd killing Heather Heyer. Many people dubbed this a terrorist attack, but there are many facts the put that in doubt.
3/ First of all he wasn't going very fast. According to Wikipedia, "The speed was estimated between 23–28 miles per hour" If he was planning to kill people, he would probably be going faster than a speed at which someone who was struck was likely to survive.
Britain: we have to understand wtf we’ve done. We’ve allowed one of Trump’s closest allies have access to our entire NHS data systems. This is the CEO of Palantir telling shareholders that ‘when it’s necessary to scare enemies & on occasion kill them’
1. A few weeks before the 2024 election,@SenMullin and former Senator David Perdue finally arranged a meeting between Trump advisor Susie Wiles and the one man who could explain exactly how America’s election systems are rigged.
The meeting took place at Mar-a-Lago.
2. Susie Wiles had publicly said that election fraud was not real & that people who thought so were “crazy.”
After the briefing, she didn’t know what to think.
She asked for a piece of cake. She ate it slowly.
Then she made the decision: Trump’s team should be briefed too.
3. In the end, the man stayed at Mar-a-Lago for 3 days to brief everyone.
There was only man who Wiles trusted to confirm it all: @elonmusk
A call was made: the man found himself in a room with Musk.
I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.
1/ I run 5 Claudes in parallel in my terminal. I number my tabs 1-5, and use system notifications to know when a Claude needs input code.claude.com/docs/en/termin…
2/ I also run 5-10 Claudes on claude.ai/code, in parallel with my local Claudes. As I code in my terminal, I will often hand off local sessions to web (using &), or manually kick off sessions in Chrome, and sometimes I will --teleport back and forth. I also start a few sessions from my phone (from the Claude iOS app) every morning and throughout the day, and check in on them later.
Iniciando o Ano em Tom Positivo

A semana teve início com os mercados ainda digerindo os desdobramentos dos eventos recentes na Venezuela. Do ponto de vista global, o impacto mais imediato e visível foi a queda superior a 5% nos preços do gás natural, refletindo uma reavaliação das expectativas de oferta e de risco geopolítico no curto prazo.
De forma contraintuitiva, o mercado de petróleo não confirmou o movimento inicial de baixa. Após recuar no começo do pregão, os preços se recuperaram e encerraram o dia em alta, sugerindo que, ao menos por ora, prevaleceu uma leitura de menor risco estrutural à oferta global.
O ambiente geral foi construtivo para os ativos de risco. As bolsas globais apresentaram desempenho positivo, enquanto o dólar, que iniciou o dia em tom mais forte, perdeu tração ao longo da sessão e acabou se estabilizando, em linha com um cenário de menor aversão a risco no curto prazo.
🚨#BREAKING: It has been revealed that Democrat Charlotte NC Sheriff, Garry McFadden, who refused to cooperate with ICE/Border Patrol on deportations of illegal immigrants...
...used his OWN police officers to transport political officials to strip clubs and topless bars
It gets worse...
McFadden also apparently threatened to retaliate against the POLICE OFFICERS who were assaulted by the criminal inmates at the detention center...
...then blamed the JAIL DEPUTIES for their OWN ASSAULTS
WHAT?!!!!!!
Oh my gosh...
Apparently, in 2020, an officer named "Crenshaw Hill" was STABBED IN THE NECK by an inmate who used shards of glass from a mirror...
...and McFadden BLAMED THE OFFICER FOR HER OWN STABBING!!!!!
whop or kajabi - better course hosting
tweethunter - full analytics
convertkit pro - advanced automations
zapier paid - complex automations
VA - handle support
invest 20-30% of revenue back into tools and help.
WHAT YOU DON'T NEED
custom website (waste of time early on)
expensive course platforms (gumroad works fine)
professional video equipment (phone + loom is enough)
paid ads (organic works until $10K/month)
complex funnels (link in bio converts)
I see beginners spend $300/month on tools before making a single sale.
backwards.
start free. upgrade when revenue justifies it.
THE HONEST TRUTH
tools don't make the business.
I know people with perfect setups making $0.
I know people using google docs and gumroad making $20K/month.
the difference is never the tools.
it's whether you create something and talk about it daily.
a mid product with great marketing beats a great product with no marketing.
I’m excited to share that @ChinaMaritime has just released a short paper I co-wrote with Mike Dahm titled “Flooding the Zone: The Use of Civilian Landing Craft (LCTs) in PLA Amphibious Operations”.
This paper follows the surprising observation last year that the PLA appears to be using civilian “LCTs” - a civilian derivative of WWII landing craft - to go straight to the beach in practice landing exercises.
Foe those unfamiliar here’s the hir piece Drew Wrote about me, a licenses ship captain and MARITIME journalist , who was invited to go with @SecWar on a shipyard tour
This is laughable considering Hamas own scholars are Wahhabi.
Here’s Shaykh Saleh al Raqab, a Hamas scholar, professor at Islamic university of Gaza, also was minister of endowments.
He literally has a book showing all the kufriyat of the Shia, which Ik Daniel would be hurt by.
And here’s his defense of Sayyidah A’ishah where he makes Takfir of the Rafidhah
Shaykh Saleh explicitly states that the sons of Hamas(meaning Hamas members) study Salafi creed and that all the students in the Islamic university of Gaza study the Salafi creed. He also notes that most of the sharia professors are graduates from Saudi universities.
Minnesota has spent years building an infrastructure of ICE watch patrols, NGO backed rapid response teams, and politically wired nonprofits that can flip from ordinary life to street mobilization in minutes.
The key to Minnesota’s rapid mobilization is not Twitter activism. It is an on the ground surveillance and response network that local reporters have already documented in detail. A Star Tribune investigation into the “organized resistance to ICE” in Minnesota reads like a field manual for modern grassroots intelligence operations.
In south Minneapolis, volunteers spend hours driving what they openly call ICE patrols. Phones are mounted on dashboards. Every sighting of a suspicious SUV, every cluster of federal jackets, is recorded and dropped into Signal and WhatsApp groups that run silently in the background of daily life.
Those chats are not small. A single Spanish language group described by local reporting grew from a few dozen members to hundreds as the federal crackdown began. One message that ICE is at a gas station, grocery store, or apartment complex can draw a crowd in minutes.
Volunteers position themselves near schools, mosques, and high risk housing, phones ready. Their job is to film, warn, and, when they choose, physically interpose themselves between agents and targets.
When roughly 2,000 federal agents arrive in a region that has spent years quietly building an anti enforcement machine, confrontation is not a question of if but when.
The sequence looks like this:
ICE surge and visible raids trigger heightened patrols and chat activity.
A lethal incident happens. Video, rumors, and initial reports hit group chats and local media at the same time.
ICE watch networks push urgent alerts, including locations such as the Whipple Federal Building and specific hotels.
Within hours, local NGOs and national groups issue public calls to action. Protest times and locations spread across social media and encrypted channels simultaneously.
One organization appears repeatedly in any serious look at Minnesota’s anti ICE apparatus: COPAL, short for Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina. COPAL is not just another advocacy group. It runs a formal immigrant defense “rapid response” program that sits at the heart of Minnesota’s ICE watch system.
By late 2025, COPAL’s immigrant defense program had trained more than 10,000 people, a staggering number in a single state. Those trainees do not just sit at home. They plug directly into the Signal chats, patrol rotations, and rapid response networks that are now colliding with ICE in Minnesota’s streets.
The Vice President of COPAL is a DACA recipient who sits on the Board of Directors as well. His name is Edwin Torres DeSantiago and he has served on the leadership teams for the campaigns of:
1. Tim Walz 2. Peggy Flanagan 3. Senator Tina Smith 4. Senator Amy Klobuchar
He also sits on the Board of Trustees for the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, showing his integration into elite institutional circles as well as movement politics.
They have a direct earmark from leading Democrats.
COPAL publicly credits Representative Ilhan Omar and Senator Amy Klobuchar for securing federal funds for COPAL and partner ACER to develop the Primero de Mayo Workers Center in Minnesota’s 5th District.
COPAL’s own statement thanks Omar and Klobuchar for their leadership and notes that these federal dollars will be invested in worker organizing and community power on Lake Street.
Poutine a fait une erreur majeure en inventant la fausse attaque de drones🇺🇦 sur sa résidence: il a fâché Trump. Et depuis 10 jours, quand Trump a compris que c'était bien la Russie🇷🇺 qui faisait obstacle à la paix, les coups pleuvent. Thread 👇

17 Dec'08: Within a month of #Mumbai Terror Attacks, then UPA govt amended #UAPA. We went through records of debate in #LokSabha in detail & found:
- Kapil Sibal, now representing #UmarKhalid, defended stringent provisions being added to #UAPA, including related to #bail, on grounds that (ahead of 2009 Lok Sabha elections) they didn't want to give BJP a chance to tell people that UPA Govt is soft on terror! (and he believed a fair balance with human rights was being maintained)
- LK Advani, as Leader of Opposition, asked for Bills to be referred to Standing Committee🤯 [but because he believed it wasn't draconian enough!]
- Several MPs, including from BJP, cautioned against its misuse and asked for safeguards
- Many MPs said that 'communalism' is equally dangerous for country & some even demanded ban on RSS, Bajrang Dal, VHP etc.
- Only @asadowaisi had the remarkable foresight to predict how intellectuals will be branded as terrorists using vague terms in the definition of 'terrorist act' [exactly how SC interpreted it while denying bail to #UmarKhalid]
A #Thread on what went down in #LokSabha that day & how it is directly linked to misuse of #UAPA today!
P. Chidambaram, as the Home Minister presented two Bills - NIA + #UAPA amendment. Speaking on #UAPA he said that even his own party was divided on how stringent the law can be.
Whether - jail is rule, bail is exception OR bail is rule, jail is exception - is a dilemma. He argued that the Bill he presented achieved a balance between prosecuting terror offences & basic human rights.
Then he speaks at length on period of remand while investigation is ongoing and says that if investigation is not completed within 90 days, another 90 days may be given, but 'automatic bail will arise' after that.
Read highlighted portions in screenshots👇
Then, he explains in detail what 'prima facie' involvement of an accused in a 'terror act' would mean for the purpose of #bail. And this is critical because it indicates that the intent was for #UAPA to be invoked against specific kinds of terror acts only!
He argued the following:
- Bail can be refused only if on perusal of case diary or chargesheet, there are reasonable grounds to believe that accusations against accused are prima facie true;
- For this, some DEFINITIVE and STRONG evidence against the accused is required - DNA, finger prints from the crime scene, recovery of arms & explosives from possession of accused etc.
- This will create a rebuttable presumption
- Accused, in their defence, can counter.
So, was strong and definitive evidence of the nature as explained here presented against #UmarKhalid, #SharjeelImam and others?
One MP remarked that these details are not mentioned in the law and Chidambaram said, "that is all right, courts are there". Well.....
🐍 Ще один приклад АІ-шного уроборосу на прикладі Tailwind
Творець бібліотеки Tailwind розповів, що останніми днями їм довелось звільнити 75% команди через АІ.
@tailwindcss - це надзвичайно популярна опенсорс бібліотека для створення інтерфейсів.
Їх бізнес-модель полягала у тому, що вони створювали безкоштовний css-фреймворк, але заробляли з трафіку документації. Крім цього, вони додатково продавали шаблони та готові компоненти.
Через ріст AI та agentic-розробки, розробники генерують готові інтерфейси і все менше користуються документацією.
За словами автора, відвідуваність впала на 40%. Тобто вони не можуть заробити на тому, що створюють і змушені скорочуватись.
