This is gonna be a long tweet. Be on the look out for the different parts.

PART ONE

@VRSVirginia- Whats the deal sis? Before I begin, let me make myself CRYSTAL F*CKING CLEAR: I’m on TEAM TRUTH as well as TEAM SURVIVOR. As I KNOW you are aware, survivors of physical......

Some men are beasts while some women also deserve no pity!!! 😡

January 1st, I visited my parents at Ikorodu and around 9pm, i left their place and got home around 9:30pm. While opening the gates to drive in, i saw my NEW NEIGHBOR’S WIFE outside with a worried look...

She quickly rushed towards me that is it possible I take her to Ikorodu that night? I was like Nooooo, do you want to kill me. Apparently, I really drove around ikorodu that day from Isawo to Igbo olomu to Agbede to Igbo oluwo visiting families, so I told her i’m tired...

She said no problem then, that she actually got someone to take her but the person is misbehaving. Since I noticed how unsettled she was, i asked why she can’t reschedule for next morning that it’s late. She said No, she must leave that night with her loads. Loads???...

Why do you want to leave with your loads? But you and your husband moved in just 3 weeks ago, what happened? She said she’s the only one leaving but she will be coming once in a while. I sensed that to be a lie, so my final statement was “If you can’t tell me what happened...

...I won’t move an inch”

I sensed there’s a marital issue but she wasn’t forthcoming with the story. I don’t want a situation where I will later be seen as the wicked neighbor who broke a home. I wanted the full story. She said i shouldn’t bother about the story...

There have been a bunch of questions about the review over the weekend. Here’s my best go at answering ones that have been asked by a few people..

1) Is this a review of ‘care’ or of the whole of children’s social care? It’s the whole thing and that’s why it’s exciting. The system of CSC is so interconnected that to look at one part (say, residential children’s homes) alone would limit the opportunity for big change

2) Why are you creating an Experts by Experience Group? It shouldn’t be down to me alone to decide how the review hears from the thousands of people who need this system to work. I need help deciding this and the EbE is *one* structured way of doing this

3) Why do people need to apply to join this group? With so many people who could be on this group (lots have already generously offered to help) there needs to be a fair way of deciding. The application process has been made as simple as possible.

3 continued) … I understand why some may not want to apply - there will be lots of ways to contribute to the review in a big way once we’re up and running.

‼️ Donovan Crowl—a 50 yo former @USMC who served as a helicopter mechanic—was among the uniformed #seditionists. While storming the Capitol, he wore a combat helmet, ballistic goggles, and a tactical vest with a handheld radio.

ARREST HIM

A patch on Crowl’s sleeve identified him as a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government group identified as one of the largest and most dangerous extremist groups in the country that's been involved in several armed standoffs with law enforcement in recent years.🤬

Mary McCord, a former acting assistant AG for national security in DOJ, said that while “these types of modern unlawful militias have been around for decades, ever since Ruby Ridge and Waco,” Trump’s incitement had encouraged their #insurrection.🤬

#TrumpInsurrection #sedition

McCord: “All his false statements about the election being stolen, that he won in a landslide, that ballot boxes were being stuffed & dead people were voting en masse—those were all predicates to setting the stage for these groups to ‘fight like hell,’ as he said that morning.”🤬

During the Obama era, family members and friend say Crowl expressed fury at @BarackObama, along with wider animosity toward Blacks. His mother, Teresa Joann Rowe, recalled Crowl saying “The only good Black person is a dead Black person”—though she said he used a racial epithet.🤬

@agknowitall

I wanted to reach out to you regarding some of your earlier research on Hezbollah in North Carolina and share some of my own findings, which have disturbing implications in present day North Carolina.

I've discovered that Hezbollah's network is not only alive and well in North Carolina, but has found interesting new partners for the 21st century.
I discovered this the other day, which attaches an economic theory to what I've already found on my

This thread provides some detail that, while not exactly solid proof represents a hot smoking gun of

The following thread represents another facet of my work, which tangentially connects. More smoking

As a *former* Assistant Managing Editor of The Washington Times, I think you'll appreciate the significance of this, as it relates to my research on Hezbollah.

Hezbollah, as you probably know, trains in and is armed by North Korea.

Good morning, I'm here at the Cottonwood school, which is next to the ICE building, site of many Portland protests

I'm here with Dr @juniperlsimonis to answer the most cheerful question possible: how badly contaminated is this K-8 school by dangerous and carcinogenic substances?

Thread:

Recently, doxing of IMT has become a tool to suppress vocal Muslim voices, with rival Sanghis doxing those who hold opposing views. Doxers aim to escalate their conflict with targets from online to the real world, by revealing personal information which includes:1/n

1. Home addresses
2. Workplace details
3. Personal phone numbers
4. Social security numbers
5. Bank account or credit card information
6. Private correspondence
7. Criminal history
8. Personal photos
9. Embarrassing personal details 2/n

Suspension methods used

1. Dig up old tweets to see clues
2. Mark tweets which violate twitter terms and mass report
3. Agent provocateur - Use of trolls to incite to say something that violates twitter policy. 3/n

Doxing methods used:

1. Usage of twitter archive to keep track of a target account. It saves even deleted tweets. After the identity is known, the archived tweets (even if you deleted them) are used to report to goverment, police, employer etc 4/n

2. Social Engineering; Social Engineering is a manipulation technique that exploits human error or friendliness to gain private information. An agent acts as friendly and then lures the unsuspecting person into exposing their own data or their data from someone else. 5/n

REAL TALK ALERT:
I’ve recently finished my 1st round of CBT (therapy) & waiting for my 2nd more in-depth CBT (god bless the NHS). My diagnosis & cause, which I don’t need to speak of here, are linked to my lower socio-economic upbringing, which is linked to a lot of past trauma

Which in turn affects my anxiety levels, my worth, my body image, my confidence & of course very low moods.
I tweet this not for any sympathy but
I want to normalise the idea that we can talk and reach out to people or in fact the services that are available

It’s insanely important and necessary for all. So please reach out. It is incredibly hard to have mental health issues in normal circumstances, but under a pandemic. Like literally fuck off, that’s something else. And I salute and feel all of you going through that.

But also here is a call to men. Some of you may well know this. But you need to talk and ask for help. It’s not a weakness. No one thinks less of you. You can’t ignore it and it’ll go away. Asking for help, talking about your feelings, seeking guidance doesn’t make you lesser

Lots of people may well look at me and think he’s doing ok in theatre, he’s got his shit together, he’s a big guy. But any success doesn’t make you feel any better if your mind is determined to belittle it, I may be 6ft1 but that doesn’t stop me feeling about an inch tall

Thread: Can we be honest for a brief moment? There are 5 main arguments believers are having about racism. The conflict over race is not about CRT and its validity. The (1st) conflict is really over the evidence that proves or disproves the existence of systemic racism

What I mean is, who’s/what evidence is empirical to prove or disprove the existence of systemic racism? For those who affirm CRT, it is proof. And others go to Civil Rights Legislation for disproof. Saying that “Systemic Racism” ended in the 1964 Civil Rights
Era.

The second most prevalent argument is over the definition of systemic. And depending on the definition, it may be accurate to say there is no systemic racism. But that depends on the way one is using the word systemic. Yet ppl seem to rarely define what they mean by systemic

The third argument is over the validity of experience. How much does personal experience count in one’s evaluation of racism? Some say none. That is just Standpoint Epistemology. Personal Agency matters not Personal Experience. But how does one do that?

How does one say your personal experience is not truth, but your responsibility to act against that experience is? Personal Agency comes out of personal experience. There is no agency without experience. I’m responsible for what? My actions stemming from my experiences.

Today's front page features our story on the loosely connected, QAnon-believing network of 'patriots' that spent weeks organizing and crowd-sourcing money for mass action at the Capitol on Jan. 6: https://t.co/Kc1BL9JqFv w/ @ddknyt @mmcintire

Keith Lee, an Air Force veteran, was one of the far-right, low-budget agitators trying to 'Stop the Steal'. More than an hour before Trump's speech: “If you died today and you went to heaven, can you look George Washington in the face and say that you’ve fought for this country?”

the united states has convinced do many people that MLK day is a day of service. MLK wasn't interested in "service," he was interested in the redistribution of wealth to render poverty obsolete. Less service, more redistribution

He was called “the most dangerous man in America” by the FBI, not because he was interested in community service, but because he was promoting anti-militarism and anti-capitalism

He was organizing a poor people's campaign to use direct action against the US government for maintaining economic inequality, not to "help out poor people," but to end the idea of poor people

On militarism and

on his frustration with white moderates and the church who didn't like his nonviolent direct action to fight for

I keep seeing people on here suggest that making fun of the neo-Nazis undermines an understanding of how dangerous they are. I disagree. I think ridiculing them is both good and necessary. A short thread:

First: ridiculing Nazis is a great American tradition:

Satire is a potent cultural weapon and has been utilized in a political context since ancient times. It serves several functions: in a scenario where it's used to skewer people in power, it's a way to speak truth to power.

In a context more like this, where it's used to ridicule a guy in a silly costume who demands organic food for his shaman diet, it serves a related but slightly different purpose. Everyone needs to understand how dangerous that guy is.

And his stated desire to assassinate members of Congress make that clear. But if you only understand that guy as emblematic of a visceral danger to both individuals and the republic, and only portray him as a grave threat, you run a different risk:

THREAD. (You want to see conclusion)

Call me the eternal hopeful but I simply CANNOT ignore facts. Period.

I cannot ignore DECADES of global corruption, fraud, crime, human/drug trafficking being exposed during Trump’s admin.

I CANNOT ignore Trump’s statements, ie “we caught them all”, “just wait, you’ll see”, “the beer is yet to come”.

I CANNOT ignore Flynn saying he is 100% certain Trump will remain President.

I CANNOT ignore the facts that Pelosi, Schumer, Swalwell, Feinstein, and many other Dems/Reps are completely evil

I CANNOT ignore the fact the the media has CLEARLY been lying to us about Trump for 4 years.

I CANNOT ignore the fact that entire corporations, all chicom sponsored, are taking the actions they are taking to silence and destroy Trump.

I CANNOT ignore the fact Trump has done NOTHING but do everything his power to Make America Great.

I CANNOT ignore the fact that his opposition has done NOTHING in their power to destroy America.
