Participants of the armed protest near the State Capitol in Richmond, VA.

These guys tell me they have no affiliation with any militia, they are here to exercise their First and Second Amendment rights.

Boogaloo Bois are also out here, along with a ton of press

Boogaloos are now on the move, walking away from the Capitol

Definitely more cameras than guns out here

Okay. Now that the lights are on again, let's do this Texas thing one more time from a slightly different angle. Because for a lot of people the REAL disaster of the last week is still on the way. … 1/22

Texas is finally back to a grid capacity that exceeds demand. That's good. However, it's only making it easier to see the water disaster, food disaster, and economic disaster ahead. Which is exactly what has billionaires bragging they "hit the jackpot." … 2/22

For energy companies in Texas, this has been the BEST WEEK EVER. The same goes for natural gas companies. The entire energy industry—including the owners of Texas wind farms—has seen a tremendous surge of profit. … 3/22

In just two days this week, Monday and Tuesday, providers easily cleared more profit than in a full year of ordinary, ho-hum service. NOT providing adequate electricity to Texas is much more profitable than providing every Texan with the power they need. By design. … 4/22

With a governor so busy going on Fox he didn’t have time to even distribute the stock of generators provided by FEMA, most of Texas is simply exhausted. But the energy industry is ecstatic. This sugar rush injected billions straight into their pockets *for failing*. … 5/22

The debate on the Bill in @UKHouseofLords has started. We will be live tweeting on the debate here. THREAD.

#NoStateSanctionedVAWG

The amendments we're supporting will allow a better, safer balance between protecting CHIS agents' cover AND protecting all of us from potentially grave crimes and abuses of power. #nostatesanctionedVAWG

BREAKING📢Baroness Chakrabarti says: "This Bill unamended is one of the most dangerous I have ever seen presented to Your Lordships' house." #nostatesanctionedVAWG

Baroness Chakrabarti goes on to say that this legislation creates total advanced immunity [for CHIS]. This is certainly not the status quo. It will make a difference to the ethical behaviour of CHIS in the heat of the moment. #nostatesanctionedVAWG

Baroness Chakrabarti says: "If we allow this Bill to pass unamended today...I really do believe that we will be opening the door to countless abuses of power and scandals...and abuses of human rights potentially for many, many years into the future."

Oh Josh , Seb does not need to be a citizen of the Metis Nation to be Metis, we both know it and for those who don't, I will do my best to help them understand.

For starters Josh, MNC who represents the Red River Metis Nation is only 1 of the 2 National Metis organizations in Canada. The other one, until it says otherwise is the 2nd but was the first original one, who got Metis repatriated into the Canadian Constitution.

The 2 National organizations, even though only one of them is truly national are MNC and CAP. CAP who previously was known as NCC. When NCC was repatriating Metis into the 1982 Constitution, MNC was not even an organization at that time. MNC was incorporated as a non-profit

society in 1984. / Canadian Metis Society - formed in 1968 - it ended with the formation of the NCC in 1971. The NCC and MNC have 2 very different definitions of what it means to be a Metis person. Although MNC only changed to that contemporary definition in 2002. In 1978, you

didn't even need to be Aboriginal to join that organization. The History of the Manitoba Metis Federation - Tony Lussier writing in 1978 states - Today a Metis is defined by the MMF as: / MNC had constantly changing goalposts over the years as to who could join their

The U.S. national security and intelligence apparatus has said for years that climate change is the single greatest threat to the nation and world. While systems intrusion and hacking by foreign actors could potentially have replicated some of what happened in Texas, it didn't.

Climate change and failure to plan did that, along with incompetence, ineptitude, and sheer greed.

Not only was what happened in Texas the failure of governance and malfeasance, it was a complete failure of imagination, vision, and insight.

While some folks want to call it a "black swan event," the fact is what happened in Texas was not. Not only was it anticipated, it was predicted. The people in charge were told what the problems were, how to fix them and why. They were told what to expect if they didn't.

Not only was it a cyclical occurrence (the third time in just over 30 years), both the periodicity and severity are increasing and intensifying. Therefore, the choices for inaction paved the way for the occurrence. It was inevitable.

In this regard, conservative ideology, philosophy and fiscal beliefs are their own worse enemy. That's because conservatism's most natural response is at best to do nothing, at worst to resist. Therefore, the disaster was a multi-layered, time induced, mountain of self-sabotage.

Here’s newly-elected QAnon gun nut Rep. Boebert, the morning of the insurrection, referencing 1776.

Here she is that same morning, pushing lies about election fraud.

Here she is that morning calling on all of “us” (IE her fellow MAGAs) to “fight with everything” for a fair election to be achieved.

Here she is live-tweeting the location of members of Congress & the Speaker, as the mob invades the Capitol building. Either she has no regard for maintaining the safety of herself & her colleagues, or—not to start a conspiracy theory—she intentionally relayed info to rioters.

Here she is, after the attack ended, again evoking 1776.

1. Military Intelligence Contact Update Continued:

. His info agrees with those sources saying that tomorrow Wed 20 Jan through next weekend, and beyond, as we in T4B are exchanging, there will be a SMOOTH TRANSITION to a military backed interim government in the USA and NOT...

Thread:

Leftists accused me of tin foil hattery for writing communists already took over America. Look what Washington Post published today:

New Demshevik Party narrative spread by their most loyal attack dog Washington Post: the GOP and the 75 million people who support Trump are potential terrorists, similar to the Lebanese terror organization Hizb'Allah.

For those who don't remember or were not born at the time, Hizb'Allah or Hezbollah perpetrated the 1983 Beirut bombing that killed 200+ Marines. This act forced the US and UN to pull out their peace keeping forces and started the civil war that turned Lebanon into ruins.

By calling the GOP a terrorist organization, the communists running today Democratic Party are using the same old but proven tactic of communist/fascist demonization and de-humanization of their political enemies.

Portraying political enemies in the subservient media as a group of soulless terrorists and irreconcilable enemies capable of mass murdering innocent people is a tactic long used by totalitarian communist and fascist regimes...

1) Washington is staring at the potential of a government shutdown Monday night. This is grim. Congress has approved four temporary spending bills since the end of the government’s fiscal year in September to prevent a shutdown.

2) The most recent stopgap measure was a seven day plan this week. Mbrs knew that the COVID/coronavirus bill was so large, it would take several days to send to the White House. Yes, that bill funds the government until next fall. But it isn’t law until the President signs it.

3) So, the most recent Band-Aid measure was the equivalent of fiscal grout. The House will approve another emergency measure on Monday. But there's doubt the Senate will do anything before then. And, it’s unclear if President Trump would sign anything. That means a shutdown.

4) A shutdown is always dangerous. It could be more dangerous during a pandemic. And it’s unclear if a shutdown could have devastating impacts on distributing the vaccine.

5) It takes a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate to override a presidential veto. With 359 House yeas and 92 Senate yeas on the COVID/omnibus bill, both bodies have way more than a supermajority to override a presidential veto.

This week was unlike any other I've ever seen in Washington DC. It started when rumors online weeks before started getting more aggressive and threatening. There was alot of talk about bombs and guns being brought. They followed through with threats. 1/?

I held alot of footage until I made it back to a safe place because of those threats. I spent my first day running around town looking for intel and supporting our community. I arrived in DC, where I grew up, on Monday night and saw a few trump supporters around 2/

I ran into issues with my safe house and had to figure out alternative that kept me from running into downtown to Guage how many people were already here, so I held off until Tuesday morning. 3/

Tuesday morning Enrique tarrio was suppose to have court at 9am but the court house was delayed until 1pm. While I was hanging around I met a ruptly reporter and we talked about what may happen, and I shared some of the bomb threats I had seen which surprised him. 4/

Shortly after getting coffee we saw a group of what we suspected to be supporters of tarrio walk up. They were marked with American flag arm bands and a few had the signature black and gold. They were pretty cold to the media while they tried to find info out 5/

Here is why you shouldn't trust anything that was sampled after the outbreak: https://t.co/VoC1cwmfdz all samples were collected at June 2020. they mentioned an "oligo array" which is how they get to all virus, no bacteria. they claim "pangolins" but there were only bat.

What they actually did: the first part of SRR13380247 were virus at the 1st read and nothing at the 2nd read, despite the quality score say otherwise. what this tells you is that they have used a blank bat sample and artificially added in reads of fake viruses.

all samples lacked non-coronavirus reads. one have traces of human Flu virus and other have trace (6Kbp) "picornavirales". both were likely probes that have fell off. the samples were very late, so the most likely route: High throughput gene synthesis->mix into blank sample

(they forgot to add the bacteria, again!) and then mock "sequencing". also, since this is already when SARS-CoV-2 have been widely circulating in THailand, there exist a change that this backbone may have spilled into bats and have recombined with the circulating strains.

If you have ever studied bat viromes, you known that a real bat sample would have more than just one viral families. ajority of bats have picoRNAviruses and other respiratory viruses, yet none of these samples gave any other bat viruses other than their single "Coronavirus"

Questions for today:
1) What is a military tribunal?
2) What is the punishment for treason?
3) Did Barr step down or step aside? Who IS Jeff Rosen and Richard Donahue?
4)Who is our country's biggest threat? Hint, it is not Russia, or Russia or Russia!

4) Are we at war right now? Is war always defined by physical fighting?
5) Why, now, that election day went by is the MSM reporting on Hunter's laptop, when just weeks ago they were denying it, lying to say it was Russia disinfornation, calling it a 'conspiracy theory'?

(Bonus - what 'phrase' do liberals like to use to dodge factual conversations almost as much as calling 'racist' and parroting MSM?)

6) Did China lie about their COVID numbers? Are they laughing at us *our fear?
Are they bragging about having paid for Americans working for their agenda in ALL levels of our govt, our justice (including judges) and defense systems, Wall Street and even our schools?

Do we have video of any of this?

7) What IS China's (and other's like Gates, Soros, Rothchild's, the Vatican, the Crown, CIA, WHO, etc) agenda/plan for America? For the world? It's no secret, and it most definately is not a conspiracy theory, but rather a factual conspiracy

Dear @SecDef :

First, as an African American Navy veteran who is the daughter of one of the first five Black Men to serve as officers on the USS Midway in the 50s, I cannot express how delighted & proud I am of you and yours ascension to the awesome responsibility & authority

of Secretary of the entire Department of Defense and its multiple subordinate entities. Congratulations, Sir. Yours will not be an easy task, but your reputation of being a smart, deeply ethical and formidable leader proceeds you, and will serve you well.

I write to raise very

specific concern I have regarding the radicalization and polarization of our troops by media outlets that have targeted them with propaganda and deception.

As I am sure you know, FoxNews, OANN and Newsmax have been selling white supremacy grievance as a business model for years

and their presence on Military bases, installation and deployed units is almost ubiquitous.

As the events of January 6, and the ongoing investigations that have ensued demonstrate, the poison of those

outlets is infecting and debilitating our troops.

It is killing off their discernment, causing them to encamp on absolute lies & fiction, tearing them apart from their fellow brothers & sisters in arms, and in too many cases, inciting people who swear to defend the

(thread)

The investigatory/legal fallout from 1/6 seems by all accounts to be shaping up to be pretty massive, which is not entirely shocking given that fash just humiliated cops and feds at the heart of the nation's Capitol.

None of that will make this go away.

What happened in DC was a revolution for the right.

They claimed their power and, at least for a few hours, they got away with it.

They really smell themselves now, as a pastor friend of mine likes to put it.

In liberatory organizing, we talk all the time about what it means to give up power because we don't think we have it, and how tidal the shift is when folks awaken to what happens when they act in mass movement together.

That's how people start to believe a win is possible.

Well, that's what the far right got a taste of in DC.

That realization of, oh, mass organizing oriented towards action can move mountains.

They understand that the absence of a militarized cop presence was a product of their political will.

When they start seeing large-scale legal consequences, they will react the way they always do when their infrastructure is under attack, which is to be like "this only makes us stronger and radicalizes more people!"

It's not true, but it's also worth unpacking a bit.

There is a LOT to like about this bill. I want to highlight some of the proposed changes beyond just legalization, including:

- Ending the 3 & 10 year bars
- Curbing the "Muslim ban" authority
- Preventing "aging out" of children on nonimmigrant

Today's press release says the new bill will revoke the 1996 immigration bill's creation of 3 and 10 year bars to getting a visa for those who have been present unlawfully in the US for 6 months or over a year.

Here's @immcouncil's fact sheet on the bars:

The new bill has multiple provisions designed to reduce the current green card backlogs, which for nationals of some countries like India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines, can mean the process of obtaining a green card can take 20+ years (or even longer in some cases).

The bill would also create similar reforms for the employment-based immigration system, where backlogs are even worse. Under the current system, some Indian nationals seeking a green card are predicted to have a 100+ year wait for a visa! The new bill would do a lot to fix that.

This particular provision would be a welcome change for thousands of people who grow up in the United States as a "derivative" on their parents' nonimmigrant work visas.

Under current laws, they have to leave the US when they turn 21 (if they can't get another visa).
