In the past, and for years now, I've made a concerted effort to share names and faces of those killed in mass shootings, historic and deadly weather disasters, public health crises, terrorist attacks and wars. /1

It was after Hurricane Katrina that it really clicked -- the importance of humanizing the lives lost and better understanding the circumstances. What could have been done to prevent such a tragic loss of lives? What can we learn from this so more lives are not lost in vain? /2

Completed my resistance reading this morning, and I'm threading. #recall #remind #resist all the horrible shit that is EM. (Not trying to catch a 5th deactivation). Here goes: /2

A super important thread: Team leads had a virtual convention today to discuss the many ways to try to GOTV. It was unanimous. Number one is VOTER EDUCATION. We're committed to reaching as many voters/potential voters as possible. /1 I completed an exhaustive read through my prior posts and will provide prime examples of voter suppression tactics and works, as well as efforts to overcome. Please read and share if compelled to do so. We need as many hands on deck as possible. /2

Short thread. Backstory: I shared both videos circulating before deletion. Turns out, supposed liberal ww who hadn't yet shown their lily white asses on my post, WERE FUCKING PISSED, complete with calling me racist for preserving both videos. You gotta read it. /1 /2

@KwonTheNuisance Holy shit. I had no idea. 😵😵‍💫 @KwonTheNuisance

Another reminder: This emblem is used for Russian propaganda "Russia Today." Thread of examples in the last 24 hours: /2

Starting a new thread calling out a racist and Nazi. Twitter began limiting visibility after a particular tweet. I'm going to try adjusting how I typed what was being shared. Keep in mind this account has 60K followers. Here, a number of users are working in unison...

🧵 of just some of my previous posts re: The ACA aka Obamacare: /1 /2

I'm gonna say what I KNOW so many are or should be thinking:

Fuck around and empower a violent insecure or dumbfuck overly feeling secured, self-entitled, mobster conman rapist who literally called for 5 men of color to be put to death for a rape they did not commit and who said he'd fuck his own daughter if she wasn't his daughter buried one of his wives on his own fucking golf course kept Hitler speeches at his bedside stiffed workers defrauded cancer research doesn't believe in science unless he wants a tax break for his Scotland golf course

Hey, @ICEgov, @DHSgov, @FBI @Sec_Noem:🧵
Safe to presume you all are aware of this? A Trump-pardoned felon, sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and obstruction of Congress, is tagging each of y'all's accounts in this call for Americans to harass protesters. Why is he comfortable tagging your accounts in a call for Americans to harass and photograph protesters, upload images to his website and be paid in crypto for doing so?This is a TERRIBLE look. What could possibly go wrong, right? /2

@Sec_Noem "At a campaign event on October 31, Trump said of former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, “She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let’s see how she feels about it ... when the guns are trained on her face.”" @Sec_Noem “If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, okay? Just knock the hell—I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise."

@frank0775 @whoistrip I hear you. So much has been said about "the media" that it's made people skeptical of any reporting. But there are publications that are widely known for factual reporting with least bias. What we see is people dismissing great reporting they don't like as "not a good source." @frank0775 @whoistrip That generates "both sides" rhetoric, even when reporting is done correctly. And whether one wants to admit it or not, it provides a pass for straddling the fence on issues that we should be compelled to pick a side. Just like Elmo out here telling users, "You are the media now."
