Cuomo releasing private personnel documents of the woman who accused him of sexual harassment moments prior isn’t just retaliation, it’s a warning.

This is the man who opened a corruption commission then closed it when the evidence led to him, he has a lot hide.

 Cuomo is a man who renamed a bridge after his father with the intent to use it as a campaign boost with his name, even as his own CNN host brother told the world he shouldn’t because his dad would have hated it.
Cuomo is a man who is sitting on billions in funds meant for our starving public schools, ignoring a court order to distribute it to schools while handing tax cuts to his Trump donors. Even COVID didn’t change his mind.
When Trump decided not to provide PPE, Cuomo chose twitter and CNN cameras in a tough guy act and got nothing while other governors worked quietly to create a buyers coalition and cornered the market to purchase PPE from under Trump successfully.
While New York had among the worst COVID outcomes of any other state, Cuomo spent his time writing a book about how he single handedly defeated it. That was when he wasn’t giving his rich donors a pass while they killed New York’s seniors in nursing homes.
Cuomo is a man who cares about women so much that he created a fake women’s party, to try and manipulate women into voting on a ballot line with no platform or constituency - just so he could use women to destroy WFP, New Yorkers leading left 3rd party. It didn’t work.
Cuomo is a man whose 1st action for COVID was to force New Yorkers who are in prison to manufacture hand sanitizer for slave wages.

He did that as a flex.

Because they reported they were just rebranding mysterious shipments purchased elsewhere from a vendor he would not name.
Cuomo is a man who values power more than even democracy. When New York State became blue, he leveraged a few weak democrats with extra privileges so they would caucus with Republicans. This allowed no law to pass in NYS unless he personally approved it, like a king.
When Trump’s ICE began doubling their efforts hunting children and families across New York, Cuomo refused to return money from his Trump donors, even the ones helped make their fortune off being landlords who housed the very same ICE HQ’s those thugs operate from.
Cuomo is a man whose closest operative openly calls a white supremacist a close personal friend. A whole thread of evidence. https://t.co/u78icaWQ90
Cuomo’s a man who sent troopers w/ assault rifles to our Muslim Ban protests. Who himself in almost a decade in office, never once visited a mosque and nominated the NYPD leader who headed stop and frisk and unconstitutional surveillance of Muslims as a state advisor for security
Cuomo on reproductive rights. https://t.co/8jDXENHdO0
Cuomo is the type of man who, as communities in NY were being hunted by Trump’s ICE, cut off funding to the grassroots orgs from those communities protecting them.

Why? Because they endorse a woman over him for reelection.
“Disgusting”

Cuomo is a man who when confronted with New Yorkers without homes chooses to dehumanize them rather than come to their aid.

A crisis he helped create by refusing to tax wealthy donors while cutting basic housing and mental health services.

https://t.co/5ZXZEW8lq6
When New Yorkers did charity bail outs of people accused of crime, they proved the cash bail system was sham designed to incarcerate people with no cases. That inspired reform we voted for. Cuomo not only rolled them back, he did it during COVID to ensure even more deaths.
Cuomo is the type of man who when his COVID19 response gave us second to the worst death outcomes in the country, held hostage our response so he could cut hospitals and health care and put more people in jail in the middle of a pandemic.

https://t.co/I151mtIxoM
This is who Andrew Cuomo is.

During my JFK protest livestream, one of the first mass actions against Trump (Muslim Ban), I asked militarized state police why they brought assault weapons to stop us, they said "Ask Governor Cuomo".

Anyone who exposes cults but sells anything is merely marketing their business. real sex cult victims always prioritize healing of their body, soul, mind & spirit-never $. U wont use your experience to make money, gain fame or campaign to be a president. U wont even need awards

People fall for cults because of lust, hunger for power,money &fame. Once they r broken & exploited victims become hardened like their abusers. They get out but use victimhood to get power,money & fame WITHOUT working on habits that led them to become victims in the first place.

I like when ex cult members share their testimonies BUT they use testimonies for selfish reasons. They hold on to victimhood &use it to sell books, lead online cults & have power over people. Most r still broken, spirits infested& lack self control but put themselves out as gurus

Pastors leading churches failed to break curses over their lives.They suffer more than most BUT decided to use knowledge on curses to control desperate people.People r deceived & buy oils &cursed objects while pastor who cant have a job is taking money to afford lavish lifestyle.

Weight loss "gurus" online sell fitness & weight loss lessons. They personally struggle with weight but know many do. They tap into people's desperation to make money from a problem they &many people suffer. Never get paid weight loss infor from a fat or thick person. it's scam!

It's another day to expose Peter Alabi @pastorpeealabi of @HoFChurchNG & @ChristTribe. More victims have reached out to us. Unknown to many, Peter Alabi is actually an unrepentant serial sexual abuser. We know that he's been lying that he has repented and that the stories...

... we have put out so far are only with reference to what happened years back. But we can also confirm that he continued to prey on more victims even after he left Ife in 2016. We also know that Peter Alabi made serious attempts to sleep with some ladies during the lockdown...

A victim, who was one of those Peter Alabi tried to sleep with during the Covid-19 lockdown has shared with us some of the chats between her and Peter Alabi, which were initiated by Peter Alabi. According to the victim, when Peter Alabi's intentions became obvious, she decided...

... to play along and act like she was in concert with him. This eventually made Peter Alabi to reveal his covert intentions to sleep with her. The chat began on Instagram in March 2020 and continued on WhatsApp till June 2020. We will be sharing screenshots of the Instagram...

... chats below. Later today, we will share the WhatsApp chats which are more revealing and expository. Please see the screenshots of the Instagram chats between Peter Alabi (peterayoalabi) and the victim below👇🏾 @oauchristians @HoFChurchNG @peterayoalabi @funlola_alabi

Can’t get over Dr. Susan Moore’s death.

It’s on my mind heavy.

Being sick is bad enough - fatigue, pain, shortness of breath. I imagine that to be a member of the majority caste in this country is to be able to just be sick. To be able to focus energy on getting well and maybe (because medical capitalism) how to pay.

There is so much more on the minds of Black patients - considering if the hospital you go to will treat you well (or at all). To have to, in the midst of the emotional and cytokine storm of infection, muster strength to fight for adequate care. To trade rest for diligence.

To have to calculate how a care provider might interpret how you express emotion & pain-too calm & you must be lying, too hysterical & you might invite the non-therapeutic intervention of armed security guards

To second guess fully disclosing your living situation, finances, diet and ability to afford and adhere to medications because of the potential consequences of the judgement that might follow.

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.

Hello, writers! How about a thread on LITERARY AGENTS? How to get one, how to talk to one, how to keep one happy. Spoiler alert: I am 100% pro agent and can't imagine not having one on my side. 1/

Why would you want a literary agent?
* you want to be traditionally published
* you want someone experienced to help guide your career
* you want to learn how to edit like a pro
* you want to sell foreign and movie rights
* you want answers to your newbie questions 2/

Why you might *NOT* want a literary agent:
* you want to self publish
* you're not willing to compromise on your edits
* you don't think their expertise is worth 15% of your advance
I... can't think this way. Literary agents have been crucial to my career. 3/

So, how do you get a literary agent?
1. Have a finished, revised, edited, polished manuscript.
2. Write a query letter for your book
3. Send your query to agents who rep your genre and are open to submissions
4. Repeat steps 1-4 until you're offered representation. 4/

So, let's go through those four steps. First of all, you must have a finished, revised, edited, polished book, and it must be sellable. That is, you can't sell a 600k picture book or a 40k adult Fantasy, etc. You must read extensively in the genre you're writing. 5/

So I was talking to @gewt about Job: A Comedy of Justice and I came up with a theory that I think explains why Heinlein's late-period work is so kinda-terrible and why I still enjoy it so much


So Heinlein had always been very interesting in the short parts of his novels, like the little snippets inside chapters. He had a very fun writing style, and wrote some fun dialogue with fun characters, right?>
It probably comes from how much of his early stuff was short fiction

And I think what happened with a lot of his longer works is that he'd just start writing fun bits and hope it would end up going somewhere or having a bigger plot by the end. like eventually he'd figure out where this was going, then go back and rewrite it into a cohesive whole

and I'm sure he had editors that'd help this process. No editor would let you publish something as rambly and changing-gears-every-other-chapter as The Number Of The Beast, for example... unless you were God-King Of Science Fiction 1980s Robert Heinlein.

so basically I think what happened is that by the 80s (when he was in his seventies!!) he lost the drive to go back and rewrite and he was too Untouchable for editors to make him.
