While shooting a satirical music video in support of the protesters, I was spat on and had my camera stolen at the protest yesterday.🧵 "I'm with you," I told them as I lip-synced the lyrics. Somebody snatched my camera and ran away. I pursued him, and eventually, he tossed it in the grass. Incredibly, the camera recorded the whole thing.

"Nefarious"
"An Alarming Message"
"A Power Grab in Every Way"
"An Emergency for our Democracy"

🧵 1/5Image MSNBC: The Supreme Court is "nefarious", "unprepared", "wrong", "lacks seriousness", & "undermines democracy".

WaPo repeatedly called Trump & Republicans "Rats" & "Vermin". Now they won't stop comparing Trump to Hitler for using the same dehumanizing language.

🧵/1 Image WaPo argues that “vermin” is a term used by “authoritarians” to “dehumanize” and “encourage followers to engage in violence”. That’s interesting, because, over the last several years, WaPo itself repeatedly called Trump and Republicans “rats” and “vermin”. /2 Image

BREAKING: YouTube no longer has a “Covid-19” policy but an expanded policy to ban *any* “medical misinformation” that contradicts WHO or local health authorities (like CDC) regarding substances and prevention, treatment, or denial of health conditions.

As usual, this policy will be arbitrarily enforced, as it "may not cover all [CDC]/WHO guidance," but rather only guidance relating to an ever-changing hidden list of "specific health conditions and substances"🤔/2

The New Twitter CEO, Linda Yaccarino, helmed the fear campaign to scare Americans into believing mass experimental injections were a NECESSARY "first step to ending the pandemic". "The science is clear," says the man who lied about Iraq WMDs & falsely connected Iraq to 9/11. (1) COVID was never a threat to 99.5%+ of the pop, (2) the vax does not stop infection or transmission, (3) minimal benefits wear off shortly, and long-term side-effects are unknown.
