1 / #OttoWarmbier
One of the tragedies of modern uber-digital society is its short memory and low retention. Do you remember #AaronSwartz? Do you even remember Dr. #ChristineBlaseyFord ?
Let not Trump's murderous complicity follow the same pattern.

cbsnews.com/news/otto-warm…
2 / #OttoWarmbier - NEVER FORGET, NEVER FORGIVE (Trump and his dictator accomplices)

Don't let Otto's memory fade away. Trump betrayed the USA and Humanity itself by siding with a murderous dictatorship that tortured and sacrificed him.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warm…
3 / "Soon enough Otto was having fun again, for even though propaganda billboards showed North Korean missiles blasting the White House, the tour felt more like a bizarre charade than a visit to a hostile nation."
gq.com/story/otto-war…
4 / "grainy CCTV camera footage of an unidentifiable figure removing a framed propaganda poster from a wall in a restricted area of the hotel, claiming it was Otto"
gq.com/story/otto-war…
5 / "When Otto was returned in a vegetative state, Fred refocused his zeal on getting justice for him. To Fred, the evidence of torture seemed clear. The once vital young man was severely brain-damaged. His formerly straight teeth were misaligned, and a large scar marred his foot
6 / "Trump said this of Warmbier and North Korea: "He tells me that he didn't know about it and I will take him at his word." Trump added that Kim "felt badly about it. He felt very badly."" => TREASON

(in the right order now)
1. My first impression was the blunt, raw and almost shocking description of the recruitment process into a criminal organization: "... and yet, I continued to work for him". His detailed descriptions of the crimes *he* committed is priceless.
2. Because of that, and because for any educated person his discourse is coherent, unemotional and, again, blunt and raw, my impression is that I have no reason to doubt him. He said so much himself:
3. "I lied before. I lied for 10 years: you don't need to believe me. That's why I spent two weeks digging into boxes to bring evidence so that you don't have to take my word for anything". If this is not a truthful speech, I don't know what is.

1 / Why Venezuela should be left alone. The rationale behind an international intervention on Venezuela is the political crisis and human rights violation. Trump would like that: after all, he's an uneducated far-right individual in the wrong place.
reuters.com/article/us-ven…
2 / The argument doesn't hold water. The Human Rights Watch @hrw has annual reports on HR violations across the world. You can download them here. Be prepared for a 660 pg report from 2018:
hrw.org/#
3 / Human Rights Watch @hrw and Amnesty International @amnestyusa don't publish HR violations rankings. There are methodological reasons for that. You can check Amnesty International's country assessment here:

1 / "Power grab", voting day holiday and mandatory voting

It took me a few minutes to understand what McConnell meant by "power grab". He was concerned that a measure intended to enforce the right to vote would be bad. Something didn't sound logical.
nyti.ms/2sZJKnx
2 / If a legal right is not being used by a group of citizens, some legal measure must fix this, correct? If it is a civil right, it is universal. If it is universal, it must be enforced. Right?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Ri…
3 / Maybe it's just me being a Brazilian and not getting the whole "right X duty" thing in the USA. You see, I come from a country where voting is not a "right" but rather a "duty" (it is mandatory and you are punished if you don't vote).

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Thread: Considering Dr. #ChristineBlaseyFord’s decades long career as an author, researcher, & educator in clinical psychology, how does she expect the public to reconcile the fact that she chose to wait 35 yrs to deal w/an alleged teenage sexual trauma from high school?
When a woman comes forward 36 years late with sexual assault accusations, days before the confirmation of a U.S. Supreme Court confirmation it is nearly impossible not to view her as a political activist rather than the victim she claims to be.
Clearly, we are not talking about just any woman. We are talking about a highly educated Dr. who is an expert in the field of clinical psychology. Dr. #ChristineBlaseyFord has spent an entire career studying depression, trauma, PTSD among many other mental afflictions.

#ChristineBlaseyFord

Liar, pawn, or both?

1)1st "discrepancy".
Therapist notes say "four boys". Conveniently, it's now just Kavanaugh and Judge.
2) Everyone else was drunk, but not her?
3) Can't remember whose house? Trauma victims remember details.

4) Notice she didn't tell the THERAPIST the names...but told her husband? No. Of his name isn't in the therapist notes, it could have been anyone at that party.
5) Overkill shot...2012, she says "he might be up for Supreme Court someday".

6) "former FBI agent" admins the lie detector test.
We're supposed to believe a broken, lying agency? Why not current FBI?
7) deletes social media accounts well in advance of breaking story...
pfffft.
