#StopTrumpsTerror...so now that's trending.

I am embarassed for these people.

On the other hand - as someone with schizoaffective disorder - I had never understood how a mass hysteria/psychogenic illness could work.

On that level...our society is a bit interesting

 I'm sure these people impacted don't believe me - but I will go to my grave convinced that the problem is the collective overreaction to Trump FAR more than anything else. The dude isn't racist in any meaningful sense. The right is not homo/transphobic (I'm a m2f transgirl)
The reality so many people, including my own family, are living through does not reflect my own. It's like we're in two different worlds.

I wonder how this happened pretty often. If there was any realistic argument for the media being an enemy - it's this. I say that because
I genuinely think they did this. What I hear is repeated and consistent intentional misunderstandings of what Trump is saying. For example - so often we hear that Trump called neo-Nazis 'very fine people'. It was even brought up in the debates. However,
it's somewhere between a very massive misreading of his words and an utter lie. Just now I found the quote in under 1 minute using google - something many reporters struggle with. I underlined the key part in red.
But I don't mean to talk about politics - I just needed to at least make an effort to characterize the problem.

Now, yes - Trump says rude things. He did call some countries hell-holes. But on a scale of 1 to Hitler - I don't think it even registers. It's quite clear that
he meant certain countries have pervasive corruption, extraordinarily limited freedoms, oppressed/abused women, etc. Some 10-15 countries still kill gays. Women only got the right to drive in Saudi Arabia in 2017 - reportedly because women aren't capable.
Trump is quite clearly criticizing a stunted culture that restrains the human spirit and free will - not a person or a race. I guess it's easy to forget that it's not racist to criticize a country or culture - still though, let's think shit through.
What about the time Trump said Mexicans were rapists?

No, he didn't. This isn't even close, imo. Trump was clearly trying to point out that many of the people sneaking into our country are not doing it as refugees to take care of their family. Of course many are - but
his point was that the border needs to be maintained.

This is one of those things that truly pisses me off. The old democrat stand in to call people they disagree with 'anti-immigrant' or 'racist.' This is particularly irritating because of how blatantly misleading it is.
The right and Trump are not anti immigration. They are anti-illegal immigration. There's a big difference between crossing over under dark - and using legal means.

But in the end - the left would sooner hate the right throughout their entire being than give them
the benefit of the doubt to realize there's a difference between what could just as easily be a poor mother fleeing to America with her children for a better future - or a child being trafficked across the border. There's no paperwork for these sorts of crossings
I think 99% of the democrats would understand why we need to separate these children and verify that the child is not being victimized.

What about 'children in cages'?
Yeah. Technically. Tennis courts are in cages, too, I guess.
Frankly, this is one of those things people freak out about because they're indulging their emotions rather than their reason. Where do you think the kids will sleep? With the amount of people crossing our border - the process of verifying whether or not
a child is being trafficked gets longer and longer. This inevitably leads to facilities becoming overwhelmed so, often, the we must be resourceful. However -

The cages are invariably inside buildings with both heating and a/c. They have bathrooms, they provide warm/dry clothes
and the kids are each given their own mats to sleep on. The cages come into play moreso in an effort to keep the children safe, to prevent them from wandering unmonitored, etc. They have warm meals. Snacks. A chain link fence is not evidence of abuse. That fence provides
privacy and a sense of security to many. But even if it's not so awesome - what's so bad about it? They're warm, well fed, and safe. For people who are sneaking in and who could just as easily be trafficking children and narcotics - this is not even remotely on par with
places like Auschwitz, Vorkuta Gulag, White Sea Baltic forced labor camp. Even at our darkest and most egregious failure since 1865 - the Japanese internment camps - the idea of comparing them to these other places is purely propaganda and disrespectful to the million who died
That our internment camps share nomenclature with the concentration camps of Germany is where the meaningful comparisons end. Unlike Germany, those interned were fed, clothed, and given reasonably nice accommodations.
If anything truly signifies the difference -
it's the fact that population rose as children were born in the Japanese internment camps - and when finally shut, the populations had all increased noticeably - something profoundly different from places like Auschwitz and Dachau.
So anyways. What I'm trying to say is - I believe that people truly hate Trump. However, I think this will turn out to be one of the most widespread examples of mass hysteria in world history.

Like I said - I'm not arguing for you to like Trump - I'm arguing for ppl to have
some sense of perspective. This is the epitome of a first world problem. Beyond that - it's possible to have more than two emotions towards Trump - agape & horror. Trump is clearly crude...but even those things he's labeled a racist for saying...just aren't. Think about it.
You can say that the right too often makes excuses for Trumps verbal mishaps. But that doesn't mean we're about to commit a genocide. In the 1930s Germany wasn't shy about defending their persecution of Jews. They certainly weren't arguing that 'Hitler didn't say that'.
If you have to convince a person that something is racist - ur not even close to Nazi Germany. In our effort to push past the history of humankind - we've started focusing on subtle racism, micro-aggressions - because almost no one genuinely has an aggressively racist world view.
I agree that systemic racism is everywhere. However, I believe it's not so much racism as it is in group bias and feeling more comfortable around people we're familiar with than people we aren't. It's the same for every minority amongst a majority population. Have perspective.

RANI GAIDINLIU:THE LESSER KNOWN FREEDOM FIGHTER

Rani Gaidinliu joined the freedom struggle at 13 &was sentenced to life imprisonment at 16."We r free people—the White should not rule over us.”Thus calling out to her Zeliangrong tribesmen was the voice of 13yr-old Rani Gaidinliu.


She joined the freedom struggle in the present-day Northeast India. Today, her struggle is lost in history as most of her countrymen wouldn’t even have heard her name. B'coz our history textbooks tell us that only Mahatma Gandhi &Pandit Nehru got India its Independence.


At 16 yrs of age, this valiant girl was sentenced to life imprisonment for leading a movement to drive out the colonial rulers from Manipur and Nagaland. Nevertheless, she was released in 1947 after India’s independence and was given the title ,"Rani of Nagas".


EARLY LIFE AND HERAKA MOVEMENT

Gaidinliu belonged to the Rongmei clan of the Zeliangrong tribe in the Tamenglong district of western Manipur. Born on January 26, 1915, she was fifth among eight children.


Her native village was Nungkao, which is present day Tamenglong distt. Brought up in a specially backward region,she couldn't receive any formal education. However,this didn't stop her from joining the freedom struggle. At the age of 10 she came under the influence of her cousin.

कुंडली में 12 भाव होते हैं। कैसे ज्योतिष द्वारा रोग के आंकलन करते समय कुंडली के विभिन्न भावों से गणना करते हैं आज इस पर चर्चा करेंगे।
कुण्डली को कालपुरुष की संज्ञा देकर इसमें शरीर के अंगों को स्थापित कर उनसे रोग, रोगेश, रोग को बढ़ाने घटाने वाले ग्रह


रोग की स्थिति में उत्प्रेरक का कार्य करने वाले ग्रह, आयुर्वेदिक/ऐलोपैथी/होमियोपैथी में से कौन कारगर होगा इसका आँकलन, रक्त विकार, रक्त और आपरेशन की स्थिति, कौन सा आंतरिक या बाहरी अंग प्रभावित होगा इत्यादि गणना करने में कुंडली का प्रयोग किया जाता है।


मेडिकल ज्योतिष में आज के समय में Dr. K. S. Charak का नाम निर्विवाद रूप से प्रथम स्थान रखता है। उनकी लिखी कई पुस्तकें आज इस क्षेत्र में नए ज्योतिषों का मार्गदर्शन कर रही हैं।
प्रथम भाव -
इस भाव से हम व्यक्ति की रोगप्रतिरोधक क्षमता, सिर, मष्तिस्क का विचार करते हैं।


द्वितीय भाव-
दाहिना नेत्र, मुख, वाणी, नाक, गर्दन व गले के ऊपरी भाग का विचार होता है।
तृतीय भाव-
अस्थि, गला,कान, हाथ, कंधे व छाती के आंतरिक अंगों का शुरुआती भाग इत्यादि।

चतुर्थ भाव- छाती व इसके आंतरिक अंग, जातक की मानसिक स्थिति/प्रकृति, स्तन आदि की गणना की जाती है


पंचम भाव-
जातक की बुद्धि व उसकी तीव्रता,पीठ, पसलियां,पेट, हृदय की स्थिति आंकलन में प्रयोग होता है।

षष्ठ भाव-
रोग भाव कहा जाता है। कुंडली मे इसके तत्कालिक भाव स्वामी, कालपुरुष कुंडली के स्वामी, दृष्टि संबंध, रोगेश की स्थिति, रोगेश के नक्षत्र औऱ रोगेश व भाव की डिग्री इत्यादि।

Stan Lee’s fictional superheroes lived in the real New York. Here’s where they lived, and why. https://t.co/oV1IGGN8R6


Stan Lee, who died Monday at 95, was born in Manhattan and graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx. His pulp-fiction heroes have come to define much of popular culture in the early 21st century.

Tying Marvel’s stable of pulp-fiction heroes to a real place — New York — served a counterbalance to the sometimes gravity-challenged action and the improbability of the stories. That was just what Stan Lee wanted. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i


The New York universe hooked readers. And the artists drew what they were familiar with, which made the Marvel universe authentic-looking, down to the water towers atop many of the buildings. https://t.co/rDosqzpP8i


The Avengers Mansion was a Beaux-Arts palace. Fans know it as 890 Fifth Avenue. The Frick Collection, which now occupies the place, uses the address of the front door: 1 East 70th Street.

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.

Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel was previously CEO of bioMerieux in France from 07-10.

Alain Merieux, who owns bioMerieux, was instrumental in the creation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology P4 Lab.

The same people who helped create the virus, also helped to create the vaccines...


Moderna partnered with French Pasteur Institute in 2015 to develop mRNA vaccine technology.

Pasteur Institute partnered with the Wuhan P4 Laboratory in 2017 along with the Merieux Foundation to study emerging viruses...

Nobel prize winning scientist Luc Montagnier asserts that Sars-Cov-2 is man-made and originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Montagnier did extensive work with the Pasteur Institute in France which was partnered with the Wuhan P4.

Merieux Foundation & the Chinese government have worked together since 1965, and partnered to study emerging pathogens in Africa in 2015.

Their research included "PATHOGENS CARRIED BY BATS" that provoke respiratory diseases.

Pretending that voting for Trump or denying climate change or suggesting the solution to every problem is more guns is a legitimate point of view, worthy of respect is not "how America works." It is how it dies.

People in a free society are entitled to any point of view no matter how obviously wrong or outlandish or destructive provided they do not impose their views on others.

But suggesting that something ignorant or divorced from reality warrants the same kind of treatment in public debate as something based in fact or at least credible is absurd and when done on behalf of a society in public media or academic settings it is self-destructive.

We would not grant media coverage or much bandwidth at all to a group that argued that unicorns exist or that there was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet views like denying climate change or basing policy decisions on sweeping, obvious lies, are just as unsound.

Somewhere, somehow, judgments must be made. Some behaviors are wrong and must be condemned. Someone must challenge lies and demand facts. Coddling people who embrace idiocies does not help them no matter how loudly they demand to be coddled.

Ok I was wrong about theHouse. 2 years of legislative gridlock = not fun. Few bills passing.

Control of the House is useless when it comes to keeping Trump from declassifying all the SpyGate docs. Or stopping an Inspector General from releasing a report.

Trump still gets control of judicial appointments so we can expect another 100 judges over the next two years. This time there’ll be no McCain or Flake playing the Maverick role with their swing vote.

That new margin in the Senate is huge if another Supreme Court seat comes open.

So from the responses I’m getting, people seem to think if Trump declassifies the Spygate stuff now, nothing happens.

Are you under the impression federal prosecutors have to wait until CONGRESS finishes an investigation and makes criminal referrals before the DOJ can act?

There’s a federal grand jury on McCabe right now. Did Congress ever finish it’s investigation and make a referral to the DOJ against him?

No.

BUT INSPECTOR GENERAL HOROWITZ DID. On finishing his McCabe leak report.

Funny how nobody remembers that.
