@TheJusticeDept We need to have an honest conversation about how we got here. It didn’t have to be this way. Drug warriors fought against harm reduction for DECADES in favor of iron fist approaches which set up all the wrong incentive structures. Prohibition = price support for drug traffickers. @TheJusticeDept Since Nixon declared the War on Drugs in 1971, drug warriors have chosen paths that closed off future options & channeled us into next year’s crisis. They have tactics without strategy & short-term goals without an endgame. They forced a rapid Darwinian evolution of traffickers.

So one of the worst leaks in US history was by a young anti-govt conspiracy nut w/a clearance who wanted to impress his Discord group of two dozen men & teenage boys who were united by their love of guns, military gear and God. INSANE! 🤯😱🙄Unlocked: wapo.st/3o4jfgt Shhhh…don’t tell anyone, OK? What could possibly go wrong? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Image

Is he trying to make a weed reference or honor Hitler’s birthday?
It’s hard to tell with Space Caligula. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Image What do you think is behind Elon’s 4/20 deadline?

Looks like January 8 is turning into Brazil’s January 6 as Bolsonaro’s supporters are moving in on Brazil’s Congress.🚨 🚨They’re inside Congress and now moving on the Presidential Palace!🚨

It already exists. It’s called WeChat — the most powerful app in China. Everything is done through WeChat which gives the government incredibly Orwellian powers of surveillance and social control unimaginable in the West. Be afraid. Very, very afraid. Musk has sided with dictatorial leaders in Russia & China in recent days. Now he wants one app to rule them all. He must be stopped. If you’re not familiar with China’s Orwellian “social credit” system, this video will absolutely set your hair on fire.🔥

It seems the lesson here is “protest or die.” Watch these conscripts brandish their unregistered weapons as they rattle off their complaints. This isn’t a mobilization — it’s an implosion!

Absolutely massive ammunition dump attack in the middle of tourist season in Russian occupied Crimea.🔥💥💣🧨 The Russian army never mechanized their logistics so ammo is transported in old wooden boxes — no forklifts or pallets. Once unloaded from the train, it becomes extremely laborious to reposition the ammo. It all has to be schlepped by hand. Too bad!

The State Dept estimates that between 900,000 and 1.6 million Ukrainian citizens, including 260,000 children, have been “interrogated, detained, and forcibly deported” to Russia. At least 18 “filtration camps” have been set-up along the border. abcnews.go.com/International/… AP found that officials have deported Ukrainian children to Russia or Russian-held territories without consent, lied to them that they weren’t wanted by their parents, used them for propaganda, and given them Russian families and citizenship. #WarCrimeapnews.com/article/ukrain…

Here we go again — “rough seas” ahead. This is some Nostradamus level timing here. Don’t mess with @daxe. 😳

During WWII, the Allies attempted strategic warfare against the Axis (usually by area bombing which killed hundreds of thousands of people because bombers were ridiculously inaccurate). These systemic sanctions against Russian have already achieved what those bombers could not.🧵 For example, the US tried to bomb German ball bearing plants with mixed success and at incredibly high cost. Modern Russia, however, makes advanced weapons, but not the machinery necessary to fabricate those weapons. They even import ball bearings. These sanctions are working.

Important thread on why Russian vehicles could soon suffer catastrophic tire failures (if they haven’t already). If the mud thaws soon, those Russian columns are even more screwed. Let’s hope for warm weather front. Both the Nazis and Napoleon learned about this the hard way.

Mind boggling thread. See below for translation. Even more shocking is that Russian soldiers are using unencrypted civilian radios to communicate (Chinese Baofeng walkie-talkies captured). Did some oligarch get the contract and swapped cheap radios to pocket the difference? Good thread on how scandalously easy it is to eavesdrop on Russian forces. It’s becoming clearer why US intelligence officials were so confident in their “predictions” about Russian intentions. Even amateurs can listen-in & troll or jam the invaders. I’m positively slack jawed!😱

The things I had to do to chase down a footnote in 1986.😅 ImageImage I’ve been going through some old boxes & came across this letter from Gen. Andrew Goodpaster. I remember interviewing him for about 45 minutes. I recorded it on an old Walkman that had a built-in microphone. When I reviewed the tape, I realized I had it set to record AM radio.🤦🏻‍♂️ Image

The amount of far-right lies @Facebook promotes is staggering and this fake news machine will explode in volume Tuesday night and onward. #DeleteFacebook This is exactly the Trump media game plan. The avalanche of lies will explode Tuesday night. Be prepared to fact check your crazy relative when they drink the KoolAid by the gallon.

You know who else scapegoated (((doctors))) in a last ditch effort to hang on to power? Stalin at the end of his life. Watch this and share it every time Trump repeats his monstrous lie that health care workers are inflating COVID numbers to make more money.

This is the *massive* county where Republican Governor Greg Abbott said they could have only one absentee ballot drop box for the entire county. Looks like he failed at voter suppression in Harris County! UNBELIEVABLE!!! Keep it up, Texas! ❤️💪

The White House got the 1st formal notification of the outbreak of the coronavirus in China on January 3. It took 70 days for Trump to sound the alarm. “That more-than-two-month stretch now stands as critical time that was squandered.” Trump squandered two precious months, hence the endless search for scapegoats. https://t.co/YvXqY9tfuN

I spoke w/a Montgomery County official at a party. Said they were getting lots of pressure “from above” to find major crime links to MS-13. Suffice it to say they weren’t amused to waste time on finding local links to major crimes that weren’t there. Sessions will stop at nothing
