If you’ve ever worked with classified info, it’s very likely that you’ve taken classified info home with you, so that you can continue to work. Could be as benign as notes. To in any way compare this to what Trump did is an attempt to minimize his actions. Legend has it that those who’ve gone through certain schools where the study guide was classified, had a copy that was circulated outside of the SCIF so that students could prep. Can neither confirm nor deny.

I spoke to several “federal senior law enforcement officials” yesterday about FBI inv involving elected and appointed officials. They both expressed a concern about the appearance of the FBI being used to settle political scores. This is concerning for several reasons. First, there is truth in this statement. We can’t investigate the winner of an election or somebody appointed by opposing parties POTUS, just bc they are on the “other side.” We all understand this.

What’s the difference between white nationalists and white supremacists? White supremacists believe the white race is superior to all, while white nationalists believe in a whites-only Christian ethno state. One seeks to subjugate and the other to flat out remove. White nationalists are people who you’ll find in Idaho and Western Washington State, whereas, white supremacists can be more urban based - they are a modern day KKK.

Trump is why I was hired by MSNBC. I was paid handsomely, and as long as he remained in the public eye, I benefitted from it financially. No more. I am done with that - it’s blood money as far as I’m concerned. Outrage has always been easier than substance. 🧵 He creates outrage porn, that is loved by the media in its simplicity and cheapness to grab attention. All while ignoring fundamental and uncomfortable substantive questions. Yes he met with a NAZI, but why are there NAZIs? We focus on the former, not the latter.

A Cuban, a Canadian, and a white supremacist walk into a bar.

The bartender says, "Ah, Senator Cruz, what are you having?" What do white supremacists send their toddlers to before kindergarten?

Pre-KKK

It is absolutely likely that the Chinese and others are trying to collect on the judge and anyone else associated with this criminal case. They are likely trying to dump her and others phones. It is only a matter of time before adversarial forces become aware of that inte. Russia and specifically China, have robust intelligence collection apparatus IN THE UNITED STATES! Getting on a judges phone is like child’s play for them. This is what we’re dealing with!!

I wasn’t an intelligence report writer, I was CREATING intelligence by risking my life! This judge is putting people at risk and COMPROMISING our national security. Those aren’t just words! They put the lives of PEOPLE AT RISK!!!!!!!!!! It’s a betrayal to THEM!!! I am so fucking mad rn! Anyone who has worked in the field with actual humans who spy for us, know we have a duty to protect them! The slightest detail, no matter how innocuous or seemingly benign, can result in their DEATH! This isn’t being dramatic IT IS FACT!

The danger that domestic violent extremists pose to our safety and national security requires a re-imagining of how intelligence works. #Thread washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/… Foreign intelligence collection is generally not constrained by the Constitution (although there are laws and EO that govern it). Domestic terrorist groups, such as the KKK, are afforded the rights under the Constitution. This cannot and must not change. However…

Maybe it doesn’t mean shit to some. But I risked my life for this country in the belief that people I didn’t know or see, would protect my life and my identity. Even today there are things about what I did and saw that remain secret, and will for a long time. Don’t normalize this This isn’t some small thing. I, like many nameless people, walked into very dangerous places (unarmed) because we trusted the US government. We believed our handlers when they said they would protect us. I worked against an entire adversary country on their word alone.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been in a SCIF or worked on production, but here’s a few things you should understand about “classified” info. Regardless of whether you have a SECRET or TOP SECRET, that doesn’t mean you can read EVERYTHING at that level. Quick primer. That means that you are physically “read in” to a specific program, and then you are given access to that information. The only people who have access to that specific program, are literally kept on a list, making sure circulation is completely controlled.

The Fed investigation into Evangelical @OlivetU for labor trafficking, visa fraud, and money laundering — started with a desperate 911 call by a woman claiming to be held prisoner by the sect. newsweek.com/olivet-student… “Kevin”, a former member of @OlivetU, described how the Indian woman thought she was coming here on a full scholarship for journalism. Instead, she worked in the kitchen and taught dance to children of staff. It is a common story I’ve heard. Many “students” barely speak English.

Friends I had the most amazing night taking the #corvette around #NYC and letting people sit in it. Young and old, it brought such joy - and I even got to do this. #Kindness People were incredulous that it wasn’t some scam. But they got in and those smiles — phew! ImageImageImageImage

The reason police were able to identify him so quickly, is bc he has to register his car, have it insured, and have a license to operate. Imagine if we did that with firearms and firearm owners. You think we might actually see a decline in this type of violence? Not to mention they should be taxed.

Well these lunatics have done what transnational terrorists failed to do with 9/11: terrorize an entire country, by murdering people in everything from schools to parades. There we mobilized every resource, inconvenienced Americans, infringed on rights, and even fought wars. Here? The solution is ignored, in fact it is actively attacked by a theocratic minority.

#breaking After @Newsweek reported that @OlivetU, part of David Jang’s empire, was at the center of a @DHSgov inv and @NYSEDNews cancelled their operations, 2 of his top lieutenants have sued @Newsweek CEO to seize control of the publication from him. newsweek.com/ibt-media-sues… I am not mincing words, should Jang be succesful in his legal bid, this will be the end of an independent @Newsweek newsroom.

24 hours after publishing about how @NYSEDNews revoked Evangelical @OlivetU permission to operate in NYS, and to even resubmit and application, I awoke to several zombie sites writing about me. Seeming to claim I somehow got NYS to take action against them. ImageImage The sites appear to be citing Jonathan Davis as an “unnamed source.” Davis is the husband of Tracy Davis, a high level executive of @OlivetU. Tracy Davis’ continued involvement is cited by @NYSEDNews as one of the reasons for canceling Olivet’s authority to operate in NY.

After @Newsweek reported on DHS invest into Evangelical @OlivetU for labor trafficking, money laundering, and visa fraud, @NYSEDNews issued scathing letter ordering Univ to cease all ops bc “pattern of mismanagement” and ties to “criminal activity”. newsweek.com/new-york-shuts… .@OlivetU has authority to operate in TN and CA and is accredited by @abhe - association for biblical higher learning. The small evangelical school has also been granted to enroll international students by @DHSgov. I’ve reached out to all for comment.

Can we discuss firearm fetishism? I’ve always enjoyed shooting at a target, admired the skill involved in being good at it. But I’ve never felt the need to walk around with a firearm for self-protection or to open carry in some perverse overt aggressive act. If you’re going to own a firearm, you should have insurance, training, and have some sort of license/certification. It shouldn’t be harder to register to vote or vote, then to buy and own a firearm.

On the way to school my 10yo and 12yo talked about the #Uvalde shootings. My 12yo asked “can we sue the president for not doing anything about guns?” My 10yo lamented about active shooter drills “because there is no place to hide.” All parents can do is lie and say “you’re safe.” As parents we survive by telling ourselves “it can’t happen here.” But pretending it can’t happen, isn’t a solution.

It’s totally stock. Totally. 💯 It’s just not running right, that’s why it sounds that way. Also, EVs are cool, but honestly how good does that sound? I feel EVs are as exciting as switching from Excel to Google Sheets.
