Oh boy. A fed. judge in DC denies motion from Trump followers to enjoin VP Pence from counting votes tomorrow.

"It would be risible were its target not so grave: the undermining of a democratic election." https://t.co/GGHubkBqkn

Also, they never provided proof of service.

(This is the one where they never would have been able to provide such proof anyway at least as to their claim to have sued "the Electoral College" which is not a concrete entity that can be sued.)
Guys, it's a short order, and you HAVE to go read it. It is dripping with scorn.

"It is not a stretch to find a serious lack of good faith here."
"...difficult to believe that this suit is meant seriously."

Ends with a warning that the judge is considering issuing an order to show cause.
This is the one filed by counsel from the Thomas More Society, a special interest law firm that at one time was more known for its religious freedom litigation than, well, whatever it's been doing lately.
"Given that time is short and the legal errors underpinning this action manifold . . . "

😂
Moving on from *that* reason why you lose, let's talk about *this* reason why you lose.
And even if you didn't lose for those reasons, you would lose because your "central contention is flat-out wrong."

(In short, the plaintiffs argued that we've been conducting federal elections wrong for at least 60 years, but they misread and misquoted the Constitution!)
And, also, what the heck is the district court supposed to do with argument that SCOTUS got Bush v. Gore and Texas v. Pennsylvania (a recent Trumpian election challenge) wrong?

This one finally draws a threat to might-maybe issue an order to show cause, which is the first step in disciplinary matters.

The order to show cause is the subject attorney's first opportunity to explain why and how things went wrong and (if they're smart) express remorse.
Most OSCs end up "discharged" which means the explanation (and remorse, don't forget the remorse!) satisfied the judge.
Occasionally, the explanation is insufficient or the moron attorney actually demonstrates defiance in the response to the OSC, which is when things get worse for the attorney.
Anyway, the attorney who filed this from the Thomas More Society has been a litigating in the federal courts for a very long time, so I'm sure he'll do the right thing here and confess to brainworms or something.

Last night TPD arrested and charged two known organizers, @DailyTacoma and our own @ohdamn_jam.

So many people acted quickly, and we were able to make sure they both made bail.


You can read @ohdamn_jam's account of what happened here


If you remember, back in August we were made aware that Pierce County diverted COVID funds to monitor us. We know for sure they monitored and reported on this account and anyone associated with it, such as @DailyTacoma

Side note: They were not read their rights until munch later.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
