.@MediClit, a transphobic and harmful person, has blocked me for sharing her own words. Here are some of them if anyone else is in the sharing and posting spirit as a trans ally. 1/? ImageImageImage Here's where she shares her father's complicity in the horrible mutilation that DID happen to her. This is shameful of her plastic surgeon father, @PaulPinMD - she deleted even more damning tweets. ImageImageImage

I was blocked by another #longcovid sufferer for defending yet ANOTHER long covid sufferer. the world is fucked and everyone is mad but the least we could do is be kind to one another and not presume one way of living is the only way. The issue for the person doing the blocking seems to be that not all #longcovid sufferers have given up on life and living, that long covid is a spectrum and everyone is on their own journey. Very sad this person has decided to attack those who should be allies.

The absolute cope going on in this Space about Andrew Tate. Talking about Balenciaga bad (it was), but Andrew Tate hero to young men. 🤯🤯🤯 The guy talking sounds devastated and worried and is taking a "wait and see" approach. They are spending A LOT of time talking about how he's been "unfairly" deplatformed. (@OV_Matter as speaker I'm referring to)

Spying on the Queen of Soul
For 40 years, the FBI surveilled Aretha Franklin and other Black ‘radicals.’ We got the recently declassified files. @ReddIsAri and me in @metrotimes. Important NEW info in this one. 🧵: metrotimes.com/music/spying-o… The files, which I obtained in early September after a four-year wait (see our Rolling Stone story), show that the FBI seemed intent on linking Detroit-based Aretha Franklin to ‘militant Black power,’ radicalism, extremism, and racial violence.”

Aretha Franklin Was Tracked By the FBI for 40 Years. Here’s What’s In Her File: The agency tried — and failed — for decades to tie the Queen of Soul to "extremists."

.@VanityFair's new Ezra Miller piece by @juliewmiller is absolutely WILD and incredibly disturbing. "Ezra Miller’s “Messiah” Delusions: Inside The Flash Star’s Dark Spiral" - 🧵on some of the wildest revelations: cc. @wbd vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022… In some ways, it seems like Ezra Miller's "Messiah complex" is attached to the character they play. During an arrest, they (Miller is NB) want the police to give particular care to a Flash superhero ring, saying, "The Flash ring means a lot to me...it's very valuable."

NEWS: Years ago, I FOIA'd @fbi files on Aretha Franklin. Today, I received the files. While incomplete, they show repeated and disgusting suspicion of the famed Black singer, her work, and activists around her. 🧵: 1976: document states that a "west coast communist newspaper" carried a story that The National United Committee to Free Angela Davis raised $38,000 and that Aretha Franklin sang at the event. Further, they claimed Franklin was associated with other "Black extremists" and groups.

Replies on this vid V frustrating b/c ppl have been fed lie for so long that houseless folks "don't work & shld simply work." MANY I've met in reporting on this across country/Canada have MULTIPLE JOBS. Now what? What possible comeback is there to that? tiktok.com/@couragenewsne… As for the "they're on drugs and did this to themselves" argument - there are judges and very powerful people literally going to high-drug, houseless areas to buy/do drugs with folks. Are they somehow better people b/c they have more money and opportunity? (they're not).

Just received the most **baffling** response from @TwitterSupport Twitter ads in the world. My eyes literally wide, my jaw to the floor. More to come on this soon. For now I will just say, what the fuck.

Yes, this has to do with silencing @JordanChariton & my Flint reporting. Okay, it's time. Delay is only bc I'm exhausted from COVID & working non-stop on Flint story & pushing Flint story so people see it. & @JordanChariton is on literally no sleep and sick and we are both broken fighters. So he will chime in later, as only Jordan can, but here we go!
