There's 3 days left in the @Kickstarter for the audiobook of my upcoming anti-finance finance thriller about #SiliconValley scams, *Red Team Blues*. #Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they're #DRM free. Crowdfunding makes them possible!

#ClarenceThomas is married to someone who planned a coup in an effort to change the outcome of the election and he's the last word on election rulings? Anyone thinking it's a good idea to stay mum on these two is wrong. Don't alienate the good guys, DC.
In a text to Mark Meadows she said she got her CAVALRY ready to act on 1/6. The CAVALRY are insurgents and she's got no business being on the same side of cell bars as us.

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4672: Clarence Thomas's posed expression
#BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #ClarenceThomas
2/ This is a close-up of an image take during a recent official US Supreme Court photograph session — and this is also Thomas's chosen, posed expression.
3/ This expression is an amalgamation of both Contempt and Disgust.

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4667: Ginni Thomas and her creepy smile before her meeting with the January 6th Committee

#EmotionalIntelligence #BodyLanguage #BodyLanguageExpert #GinniThomas #ClarenceThomas #January6thCommittee #Smile #CreepySmile #SmilingOutofContext
2/ You may have seen a short video of Ginni Thomas last week, on 29 September 2022, just prior to her approximately 4.5 hour closed-door testimony before the House Select January 6th Committee.

(Photo Credits: Annie Grayer/CNN)
3/ Although the video making the rounds on social media was relatively short, several details should have jumped out at you.

Justices SHIELD SPOUSES’ work from potential conflict of interest disclosures

#GinniThomas #JaneRoberts and #JesseBarrett’s clients remain a mystery, fanning fears of outside influences.

#MOG
politico.com/news/2022/09/2…
#GinniThomas has gotten significant attention for operating a consulting business that reportedly includes conservative activist groups with interest in Supreme Court decisions as clients. Her husband, Justice #ClarenceThomas, has chosen not to reveal any of his wife’s clients
Indiana firm #SouthBankLegal opened its first-ever Washington office

The head of the office, #JesseBarrett, is the justice’s husband, whose work is described by the firm as “white-collar criminal defense, internal investigations, and complex commercial litigation.”

#ClarenceThomas is the same Man as Black People we "Stood With" despite his Negative Opposition towards his Own People. "We Stood With" while he was accused of Sexual Harassment by Anita Hill. "We Stood With" and expecting Anita Hill to take one for the Team for Progression.
He "progressed" and Black People took the "loss." We "only comfortable" calling out the "Threats" to our Equality and Justice when the Threat is Black. It was Four Men and One Woman each Threatened our Equality and Justice. But the Media is focused on One Man.
A Black Man who has served the Agenda of Inequality and Injustice towards Black People for 30 yrs. The same Agenda he served is using him as the Scapegoat. The Scapegoat because he will no longer be needed. The Agenda will continue to prevail and we will continue to lose.

Real, raw moment… Justice Thomas did call into question the right of #GayMarriage in the #RoeVsWade ruling… I’ll give up my “right” of my marriage with my husband… if it in fact saves the lives of millions of unborn children… period!
I was raised to value the sanctity of human life. Abortion isn’t just about rights of medical care, as there will always be outlier exceptions… the issue rests in the “personhood” of a fetus/embryo/baby… and I say there is personhood.
I don’t believe the state has any real right to adjudicate committed relationships. That’s a faith based issue… however, using historical due process and 14th amendment ideals… there is a logistics problem…

Well, well, well. Here’s an email from October 2016 discussing VA voter fraud. Both Ken Klukowski and Ginni Thomas are on this email, meaning that she most likely knows Klukowski. #January6thCommitteeHearings #January6thHearings #January6th #J6 Image

With typical liberal cravenness, Justice Sonia Sotomayor has leapt to the defense of #ClarenceThomas, whose wife Ginni was deeply involved in Trump's #January6th conspiracy to overthrow the election and establish a personal dictatorship. 1/ thehill.com/regulation/352…
She heaped praise upon Thomas, citing trivial incidents of his acts of personal kindness, as if remembering the names of employees at the Court and sending Sotomayor flowers when her father died outweigh his countless votes for executions and his efforts to outlaw abortions. 2/
Sotomayor's defense of Thomas is not only cowardly. It is also absolutely inappropriate. The involvement of Thomas' wife in a conspiracy to overthrow the government - about which the Justice was obviously aware - raises the most serious questions about his own involvement. 3/

I saw #ClarenceThomas trending.
#jan6Inquisition really reaching new lows.
Going after @RealGinniThomas Spouse of Judge Thomas.
1️⃣ My Husband and I are Together And Separate. Don’t tie Me to His actions, speech or thoughts, & vice Versa.
2️⃣ Think: Who Ginni Thomas Is. It all Makes sense. Ginni is an accomplished Attorney, History of working with Presidents, Conservative Leaders, Organizations. Her occupation did not disqualify Justice Thomas when He became a SCOTUS Judge. It’s a Free Country. She’s Her own Woman.
3️⃣ Who intercepted an email She sent? Why did they? When? What did they Do about it? When? Why? To Whom? Who knew? Did it just get lost in a stack waiting for Jan 6 committee to drag it out? Surveillance in search of a crime 🤦‍♀️

Okay, so I've FINALLY figured out what @JoeBiden said. However, I don't think what Joe Biden said is the real issue because I've said the SAME thing several times myself.
But my question is this. WHERE is all this energy when it comes to @SenatorTimScott , @DiamondandSilk, @PARISDENNARD, @RealCandaceO, @GayleKing, #ClarenceThomas, @tavissmiley, @CornelWest, and that greasy ass pastor what's-his-name that looks like a pimp?
There's a whole LOT of people that I wish y'all would hate on instead of Joe damn Biden! But let's not let Joe off the hook. Joe's problem is not what Joe said; but rather, what Joe DIDN'T say.

This thread is for #white #vegans & #animalrights activists who recognize we are often the problem in the way we articulate issues having to do with the other animals. One step is to learn as much as you can about #WhiteSupremacy & #WhitePrivilege. Read! #BlackHistoryMonth2020
Do you know the history of the Civil Rights movement? You could start by reading vol 1 of "America in the King Years," "Parting the Waters" by @taylorbranch. simonandschuster.com/books/Parting-…
@taylorbranch In 1962, the Civil Rights Commission was going to make a very strong statement about racism. Politically, it would be problematic for President Kennedy. JFK was told "It is legal for the police to use dogs." So, turn to "Afro-Dog" next. cup.columbia.edu/book/afro-dog/…

TWENTY EIGHT YEARS of #ClarenceThomas (mis)interpreting the Constitution to enforce an extremist right wing POV on the American legal system. If #JoeBiden had allowed witnesses for #AnitaHill to speak, instead of making a deal with the GOP, Thomas might never have been confirmed.
Let's not forget how #ClarenceThomas got on the Supreme Court.

Did #JoeBiden Forget He Was There for the #AnitaHill Testimony?
thecut.com/2019/03/joe-bi…
And the details of how Biden got to the Anita Hill moment is here in this brilliant long read by @rtraister.

Joe Biden Isn’t the Answer

Thomas has been the most far-right extremist activist justice since his appointment by George H.W. Bush TWENTY EIGHT YEARS AGO to replace the brilliant jurist #ThurgoodMarshall. There is no one more extreme to replace him, so Trump is likely happy Thomas has no intent to leave.
Everyone who voted Trump or Trump proxy voted to put extremist justices like #ClarenceThomas, #NeilGorsuch and #BrettKavanaugh on the #SCOTUS and those of us who voted against fascism now face Trump for the next 30yrs, just as we have faced Thomas for 28 and likely 10 more.
There is no keener determinant of how elections have consequences than in the appointment of Supreme Court justices and federal judges. America will be living with the Trump courts for decades. D-E-C-A-D-E-S.

1. Woke up 3hrs too early, queasy and stressed. 2mins from now, we will likely be witness to a national misogynistic sham so deep and so blatant as to prove once and for all that the powerbrokers of US government do not believe women are human. #Kavanaugh #BelieveSurvivors #RAGE
2. I'll prob livetweet #Kavanaugh hearing, but I feel physically ill over how they've stacked the deck against #ChristinaBlaseyFord, ignored #JulieSwetnick's gang rape allegations, demonized #DeborahRamirez. How many more rapes will happen bec Trump &GOP brand claim women liars.
3. 0 reason other than corruption, misogyny, and partisanship for having no witnesses, no FBI investigation. Yet hypocrite Grassley, opens saying he wants a "Safe, comfortable, and dignified" hearing and a "show of civility"--then immediately misrepresents the issues. #Kavanaugh
