From the Middle of the Night File, up again after a few hours decent sleep, I was doing some organizing for tomorrow's thread. And what do I find? Once again Twitter has broken one of my threads. Yesterday morning's. It was a 4-tweet thread. I can only see 27 tweets.

2) I don't know what I'm going to do about it. That's a bridge too far. If I didn't have the thread reader app unroll above, I'd be checking my memory of my work. Thank goodness at least that's there!

45 - 27 = 18

Twitter disappeared 18 of my tweets. And they're not random.
3) At the same time, look what I find in my feed. Two announcements composed in identical format. I'll point out what's wrong with these "clarifications" below. This is from Newsmax.

4) And this from FOX.

5) Isn't it interesting that both clarifications follow the exact same series of questions and answers? Obviously this is from the legal department, as if it were information to be shared. It is not. It is very, very carefully NOT information. Focus on that.
6) I have seen no evidence of...

At no point does anyone ask, do you think there was election fraud? Even if they had been, they'd have just answered, "not that I know of." This is all legal malarkey, put out to fool us. Logic could easily rip it to shreds.
7) Clearly a bit groggy, I forgot that I know how to repair threads that Twitter breaks. So far, at least, it's easy enough. I just have to scroll through my individual tweets to I find one from the area after the break. Here's where they broke it:

8) So now, I just go add that and people will be able to re-establish the broken chain of the thread. I'll go do that right now...
9) I was just looking at the location of the break, #27 looks like it ends the thread. That does NOT sound like an algorithm to me. Then, in the remaining, previously missing 18 tweets, an intelligent censor would know that they don't want that message out there. Not a bot.
10) If I'm right, and if you're reading this right now, hat's off to you Mr. or Ms. Censor. You're clearly not a bot. You employed your capabilities too well to be missed. It hadn't hit me that censorship could be artful, before.

Well done.
11) I may try to get in a few more nods, first, before turning to this morning's thread, but may fail. I do have one task I'll do first right now. I have just a small document to create. I'm going to call it:

General Mac's 10 Commandments to Save America.

I'll be back...
12) Simple enough, it's just a screenshot of a Word Doc. Not being live text, it's a bit harder for Censor Bot's to detect. But my new invisible friend Censor, if he or she is keeping up, should be able to detect its censor-worthy content. We'll see.
13) I hadn't seen all 10 listed in full before. The pivot point is: 8, 9, & 10.

8) claiming that the 2020 presidential election is being stolen from Trump and
9) treasonous parties should be arrested and charged and
10) a "full investigation" must be done by President Trump.
14) Aha! This calls for a reordering of the sequence! I'm on it! Back shortly...
15) That took a bit longer than expected, but I'm not unhappy with the results. What do you think?
Middle of the Night Thoughts end at #15.

Going to try for those nods now. Wish me luck...

Every single public defender. Every single day.


Bail arguments, motions, oral arguments, hearings. Judges don’t know, follow, or care about the law. Prosecutors are willing to take advantage of it. And mandatory minimums, withheld evidence, & pretrial detention coerces people to plead before trial. When theres a jury. A shot.

But defenders still fight. And still win. Most times wins aren’t “Justice.” It’s power of repetition of argument in front of same judges. Introducing those in power to the people they oppress. Not just a RAP sheet or words on a page. Defenders make it harder to be brutal & cruel.

I worked as a public defender at an office as well resourced as any in the country. Social workers, team of investigators, a reentry team, support staff, specialist attorneys in immigration, housing, education, family. Relatively low caseloads (80-100). And yet still injustice.

Most think that balancing the scales of justice means more funding for defenders. Thats part of it. Enough a attorneys to actually be at bail hearings. Wrap around services to be able to help people trapped in the system end up better off in their communities. Lower caseloads.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
