1/ It doesn’t matter whether you’re black, white, brown, or anywhere in between- if you were born in America, you won the world lottery.

Our nation, which makes up under 5% of the world population, holds the vast majority of its wealth and power.

This isn't what I normally post, but it's a summary of some morning reflections since Monday is the anniversary of @aaronsw's death.

He had a big impact on the world (and me). He's someone you should know.

Here's a tribute.

Aaron was "one of those kids" - he was part of the working group on early RSS at 14, dropped out of Stanford, was in @ycombinator's first summer class, and was part of the early @reddit team.

His life's work was focused on the accessibility and dissemination of knowledge.

Aaron believed public information, scientific research, and the Internet as a whole should be open and accessible to all.

Here's the preamble to his "Guerilla Open Access Manifesto".

He was the definition of mission, even if it meant flying in the grey areas of hactivism.

In 2008 he went after PACER, a database of public court documents that charged per page of access even though the documents were public (they made $100M+ per year).

Through a library loophole he downloaded 2.7 million documents and released them to the world.

The FBI investigated, but since they were public documents and he used the free library trial, nothing illegal took place.

PACER still charges to my knowledge, but @binarybits continued the mission with a browser extension that gives free access through the @FreeLawProject

Beginning to learn and understand that my "inner critic" - the voice that harshly criticizes and shames me - is only and has always only been attempting to protect me, to act to curtail or stop behavior that in the past has gotten us harmed - has made dealing w/it much easier.

Not "easy" or "pleasant," because the inner critic still shows up only when it wants to yell that we need to stop doing something immediately b/c of how we have previously been hurt. As a protector it still attempts to mostly communicate with goads of fear and shaming.

But understanding the roots of that fear and shaming, that self-policing behavior, has allowed me to respond to it with compassion, and that has been transformative. Being able to hear and endure the shaming as what it is - a protective reflex born from a child's fear & pain;

has enabled me to view it in that proper context, the same way I would view a child screaming in fear, and receive it gently and warmly, thank it for trying to protect me, and attempt to de-escalate the fearful predictions of catastrophe.

Not having to receive these still-aversive messages from a place of anger and hurt - from a place of "why is this voice saying such terrible things, I am so angry at this piece of myself that wants to protect me," has reduced the stress of inner critic interruptions considerably.

For the 20,000 victims of non-fatal strangulation and suffocation, I urge Parliamentarians to take action now and amend the Domestic Abuse Bill. This needs to be a stand-alone offence. If this opportunity is missed women will die.
#NonFatalStrangulation

Police could much better support victims if there was a stand-alone offence of Non-Fatal Strangulation. 80% of survivors are likely to have a resulting health problem e.g. stroke or PTSD. The Lords should amend the Domestic Abuse Bill to fix this.

Hi everyone, Welcome!
I am Claire Igwe. I would like to welcome everyone joining us to this tweet chat.

Our conversation today is a warm-up to the PAD PROJECT, an outreach planned by FIGURE (Feminist Inspiring Gender Unity, Respect and Equality)

In early March last year, the FIGURE family reached out to young girls in Ile-Ife with sanitary pads, some valuable sex education and smiles😇.

It would be a thrill to do this again this year, with your support of course.

We would be having @afrika_sisi (founder and facilitator of FIGURE) as our guest for this chat

We would be hitting a very pressing but commonly overlooked topic today; Sexual Harassment and Assault of Underage Girls in Secondary Schools.

So, we would get right on to the chat.
Please feel free to jump in with your contributions and retweet.

Outside the Capitol now. A crowd is starting to gather. Definitely larger than the previous ones I've seen.

Signs spotted so far:

'Knucklehead Gordon's
'Legislature must convene, fix election fraud.'
'Masks don't work.'

One counter protestor on the corner.

It's started.

Clem: "we are here because we love our freedom, and because the man in that building is a tyrant."

Several hundred people here. Shouts of 'RINO' in the crowd. A few rifles on display.

"Only legislators can make law," he said. Said there was no public input on the health orders.

1/10 When examining Statins, it should be noted that they have been shown to damage Mitochondria. Article – https://t.co/NIJbj3mULI. Mitochondrial damage can account for all of the relevant adverse effects of Statins – muscle weakness and damage, loss of memory/cognitive function

2/10 Diabetes, depletion of glutathione, etc. An interesting feature of mitochondrial injury is that a threshold of damage must be reached before a disease state results (as described in this article –

3/10 So, if your study period isn’t long enough, Statins truly will have the same number of adverse effects as sugar pills because in a short period of time, the subjects have not crossed their tolerance threshold for mitochondrial damage and no disease state (or adverse events)

4/10 have manifested. It is only with prolonged exposure to mitochondrial damaging chemicals, like Statins, that adverse effects manifest.
If you don’t design your study of mitochondrial damaging drugs to take into account how mitochondria react to assaults –

5/10 with an initial adaptive response followed by a toxic response (as the Peroxynitrite cycle is induced), your results don’t actually say anything notable. If you design your study to take into account the tolerance threshold feature of mitochondria,

1) I
don't like watching videos of people dying.

I forced myself to watch the #AshliBabbitt video.

I won't post it, but it can be found.

I have some questions.

To my quasi-untrained eye, it appeared to be a Glock .45 ACP that killed her.

It's Friday afternoon, it's dark outside and school is over for the week. Let me tell you some truths about markets in 2021

The consensus view this year is all pervasive. Everything I see and read is based upon it. Parts of it may eventually come true, but it's not going to be sunshine and rainbows

To summarise, the mechanical recovery taking place will become self-sustaining as vaccines and "pent-up demand" combine to lead to an orgy of consumerism

Of course this is a very American fantasy because elsewhere, no one expects anything of the sort to happen, not least Europe or Japan, where we'll continue to be frugal

To add to this we have the Fed "backstopping" the market and a new Democratic administration stuffing cash into the hands of people who already have money

Christmas has been & gone, we are in a new year but it is all sounding & feeling very similar to where we were. This time we are ready. We are hurt, we are saddened but we are standing up for what matters and we are united with one aim to see our loved ones #rightsforresidents

Over the last week there has been a lot of anger & frustration building up. Will our loved ones get a vaccine, many still haven’t, goal posts get moved, &the gap widens between 1st/2nd vaccine, will it change the visiting guidance, will we ever see them again,no one will answer!

We hear that Covid+patients are to be discharged into care homes,again.There is a plan,does anyone know it? Where are these designated homes,how will they be managed, will staff be completely separate&where are they coming from?will our loved ones be safe? Can this happen again?

Rights for residents is just that, a campaign to stand up for the #Rightsforresidents in care homes, our loved ones - young adults, children and older people - ignored and forgotten, but not by us

These rights include vaccines, hospital visits/discharges but our primary campaign was & is visits rights. For too long we have been separated from our loved ones, families torn apart & plastic screen put between us - at best

1/10 In the last couple of days I've lost quite a few followers simply because they didn't like what I had to say, with some of them even saying I wasn't a true conservative.

That said, I would like to take this opportunity to clearly state my beliefs. They are as follows;

2/10 My conservatism: I want a small, decentralized federal government with LIMITED powers. I believe in individual freedom, low taxes, free trade, private enterprise & the rule of law. Our rights come from God, not the government.

My libertarian streak: I'm pro-life...

3/10 no one should deny the innocent their God given right to live. I support gay marriage, provided that religious institutions are not forced to perform such ceremonies. I support marijuana legalization, & overall drug decriminalization because (a) money & resources used to...

4/10 punish addicts can be better spent on treatment. Afterall, addiction is a disease, not a crime and (b) I've a problem with the government dictating what an ADULT can/cannot put in their own body. It all comes down to personal choice & responsibility...

5/10 Nationalism: I'm somewhat cautious with the term 'nationalism' because as a student of history, I know that it can lead to a dark & dangerous path. As a Canadian, born & raised, I'm a Canadian patriot who believes our people, irrespective of race, colour etc...

1/ WILL GOP ONCE AGAIN BE OUT-GAMED BY GLOBALIST SOCIALIST DEMS??
Let's consider scenario. Globalist Socialist insurrectionists become aware that #Italygate evidence exposing their traitorous vote switching in collab w/ foreign actors is being delivered to mbrs of Congress on day

So glad this year’s almost over. Honestly, 2020 sucked. From the Chinese Virus, idiots breaking the rules during a pandemic, especially a certain far left cult that’s been around for years and coming out of the pedo closet whether it was fraud or not.

Friendships were ruined over political differences. One being heartbreaking, one leaking one of my DMs and is a traitor and one I cut ties with. Two of them were talented, but they wasted it by selling their souls and going woke.

I also unfollowed a ton of YouTubers and content creators I used to like who sold out and bent the knee in late May and early June, the latter being my worst month this year. One of them blocked me, but I won’t apologise for what I said about him being a sellout.

I am somehow now getting the the reason why all WWW based SM platforms went berserk simultaneously! Nope it has nothing to do with the election results , rather its a bigger plan a deception ! Here it goes .. its a thread

The deletes (dark eeeelllliiitttteeesss) were living a happy life in shadows while controlling the world via their puppets such as religion and money ! Then there was a disruption in their paradise , it was the rise of internet

They didn’t take it seriously in the beginning, but it gradually started connecting the world , people from distant places could communicate with each other share ideas and culture , and then twin tower happened when people first took to the internet to expose Deletes

By 2012 Expose of deletes on the internet reached to a dangerous level .. there were too many awakened people ( deletes call them conspiracy theorist) now all across the world , who understood their shenanigans

Deletes had to stop it ! This technology and specially teh world wide web was the biggest enemy of their long cherished dream of controlling the whole world ! They needed technology for it but the technology was proving to be a double edged sword due to it world wide web nature!

Back to work. Kids back to school (in the next room). Tough for them.

Didn't see many people or do much over Christmas, obviously, but so nice to have some time to wind down.

2021 has got to be a big year for climate. Some thoughts: 1/11

Of course COP26 is *the* big climate happening. Crucial chance to step up global co-operation. With a Biden-led Whitehouse, that's very possible.

But in terms of wider outreach, I worry that COPspeak galvanises climate wonks & no-one else. Big engagement challenges here... 2/11

For business, it's about putting some flesh on those much-welcomed net zero pledges which have sprung up everywhere. Many companies are over-reliant on carbon removals, which is hidden in the 'net' bit of net zero.

Now that many businesses and governments have strong stated climate ambitions, it's a tough job - and one that will probably fall to NGOs and campaigners - to scrutinise plans, and separate bluff from genuine action. 4/11

For government, it's about looking across the whole economy, understanding that climate policy is investment policy, infrastructure policy, tax policy (I could go on). And that covid recovery is also climate policy. 5/11
