A thread on why doxxing is bad.

Basically, the mob often identifies the wrong people and ruins lives.

 “The cyclist was wrongly identified by internet sleuths as marketing executive Peter Weinberg.”

“His home address was shared online.”

“After being wrongly identified, Quinn received countless threats online, with users calling him a racist and posting his home address and personal information online, according to the Times.”

“The internet cheered. The media made house calls ... only one problem: wrong house.”

Skai Jackson is being slammed after reports surfaced that she put 'an entire family into poverty' after she allegedly shared details about a 13-year-old boy on Twitter.

“In less than 24-hours, Sunil's name spread all over the Internet as the face of one of the Boston Marathon Bombing suspects.”

“But he wasn't guilty. As his family would soon learn, he was dead.”

https://t.co/40yvnDgX9e
“The user acted unilaterally, releasing the name of an unrelated officer on the assumption that releasing the wrong name would eventually result in Ferguson's Police Department releasing the correct one.”

https://t.co/kHXPRGGvbg
“The Ferguson PD actually tweeted at us saying that this is not the officer responsible for the murder,” Pharaoh said in a lengthy chat via IRC, Anonymous’s preferred communication platform. “But they could be lying.”

Reader, they weren’t lying.

“I broke when I realized that Anglin was also urging people to direct these attacks on my kids, my son. They made an image with photographs of me and my 12-year-old son on the entrance gate to the Auschwitz concentration camp.”

https://t.co/ph2HPiMqQY
“The man initially named as the attacker who mowed down pedestrians and stabbed a police officer outside Parliament is in fact still in prison for an unrelated matter.”

https://t.co/5z7X9MOgJU
“One amateur detective who’s been posting about the case on Facebook is Raquel Esquivel. She said she was motivated by a lack of arrests. After 3 days of working on it, she became convinced she’d identified one of the people.”

She was wrong.

https://t.co/h75WMi7xIr
“This is foolproof until someone uses the formula to frame someone who didn't actually say anything racist ... this turned out to in fact not be Brianna Rivera at all, but her ex-boyfriend, who changed his Facebook profile to resemble hers.”

“...this Ryan Lanza was alive, and he was telling the Internet it had the wrong guy — everything may have seemed right, but everyone was so very wrong. ‘It wasn't me,’ Ryan Lanza said.”

“He posted the personal details of a 41-year-old woman on Facebook and followed up with another post urging others to ‘give her hell.’

“But the woman, who was the owner of the car, was not the driver at the time of the incident.”

"I hear, 'Someone is going to rape, torture & murder the women and children in your family," Hailey read from a comment.

"I just want everyone to back off. The truth is out. It had nothing to do with us, nothing to do with my uncle at all," said Hailey.

“But Wilkins wasn't at the protest. Victoria says that on the day of the protest, she and Charlie were at a pumpkin patch and that, as a couple in their 40s, voting is the extent of their political activism.”

Dorian Nakamoto, a computer expert, had never heard of Bitcoin until his son mentioned it 3 weeks prior. He said many of the details in the story are correct, but that the main assertion is false.

https://t.co/PZEazxqJMQ
“Donald Trump Jr. and conservative actor James Woods even identified the woman as Portia Boulger. But Boulger is now suing Woods for defamation, asking for $3 million in damages, because it’s definitely not her.”

Thread on doxxing Geary Danley, a man who was not involved in the Vegas shooting. https://t.co/MwS1S9bT36
So, spare me of any argument on why your doxxing is justified.

Doxxing is wrong.

The stories about people who have been misidentified barely make the news, but it ruins lives and makes people fear for the safety.

What’s sad is that none of you even care.
Feel free to continue attacking me though. Watching the lies evolve has been somewhat entertaining. 😂

I really think that the Jan. 6th insurrection, really was an attempted coup.
But DJT's reichstag fire was thwarted by actual American Patriots like DC Police Officer Eugene Goodman.

In leading the insurgents away from the Senate chamber, Goodman saved the lives of many.

The killing of Democrat politicians and Vice President Pence, were all part of the larger plan.

DJT saw Pence's refusal to do his wishes in overturning the election results as a betrayal.

The killing of Democrats and possibly some Republicans was the key to the plan.

KEY 1:
As revealed in impeachment trial 2, DJT altered a permit to allow his cult to go from his pre coup rally to the Capitol building.

KEY 2:
DJT called for 10k National Guard to be deployed. But NOT used to put down any "riot"

KEY 3:
GOP politicians giving RECCE tours

KEY 4:
A truck loaded with weapons and explosives found near the Capitol building

KEY 5:
DJT and his #TrumpCrimeFamily and #TrumpCrimeSyndicate had a viewing party of the attack

KEY 6:
People who had instrumental roles in the attack haven't been arrested yet. Including senators

KEY 6:
Having someone in place to block ordering the National Guard to deploy to aid the DCPD

KEY 7:
useful idiots still trying to push the narrative that the election was stolen

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

Silence by @achpr_cadhp constitutes not only an endorsement of the genocidal war waged against the people of #Tigray, but it also violates the core principle and provisions of the African Union Constitutive Act. (3/22)

As @AUC_MoussaFaki's utter failure to respect and ensure respect of basic human rights of #Tigrayans, which are grossly and systemically violated by #Amhara militia, Abiy’s #Ethiopian and Isaias's #Eritrean armed forces. (4/22)

And now a livetweet thread of a legal conference in the case of C21-31-BJR, Parler LLC v. @awscloud.

Parler suggests "AWS just has to flip a switch and Parler gets turned back on. Parler has been their customer for 2.5 years."

"They've met and conferred over some user content that violates not only Parler's user requirements, but also Amazon's." Yes, they'll do that, whether you want them to or not.

"I'm not on social media" says Parler's lawyer. "If I use any terms and you don't understand them, I can explain them your honor." Just go full bro and call it "dumbing things down for you" dude.

They're now saying an "algorithm" can solve their moderation problems.

Spoiler: it can not.

READ AND RETWEET AS THOUGH THE LIFE OF YOUR NATION DEPENDS ON IT. WHICH IT DOES. Citizens, I am going to add to the picture with more information. I am not going to let this pass while keeping information to myself. I am going to walk you through 2 narratives.

A printing shop in Michigan prints ballots for Delaware County, Pennsylvania and as Lancashire County, Pennsylvania (this is normal). But along with the ballots it prints on contract and delivers to those counties, it prints some ballots that get diverted to Bethpage, New York.

There, a boiler room of folks fill in "Biden" (often without even voting downballot). The ballots (which are forensically legitimate, given that they come from the same print shop as the good ballots, ) then get trucked into Pennsylvania and mailed. Hundreds of thousands.

We have all of that documented. Texts, statements, affidavits, everything.

We also know that this same ballot printing company (and other firms in the same family) also print for Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia.

(THREAD) The Whitaker scandal is deepening, as it becomes clear that Sessions' Russia recusal was a coordinated sham and his firing an act of obstruction—and that his replacement is a White House plant inside the Mueller probe. I hope you'll retweet and read on for more details.


1/ From 2014-17 Whitaker worked for World Patent Marketing—which during his tenure defrauded consumers out of $26 million and was successfully prosecuted by the feds. His involvement in the scam confirmed he had loose morals and that the feds would never want to employ him again.

2/ Despite the seeming impossibility of a man with Whitaker's background getting a job at Justice ever again—he'd been found to have used his former title as a US attorney to fraudulently threaten consumers with valid complaints with criminal penalties—Whitaker found an opening.

3/ Within 60 days of parachuting out of World Patent Marketing as it was being fined $26 million by the feds, Whitaker was working for CNN and telling a fellow attorney panelist that his purpose in working for CNN was to get noticed by one man—Donald Trump—and thereby get a job.

4/ Whitaker spent his time at CNN making ludicrous statements about the Mueller probe: there was no obstruction or collusion, he said; Mueller had no authority to look into any aspect of Trump's finances or to subpoena him, he said. All the while, he hoped Trump was watching him.

🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।

A story of a brave woman who let her "breast" cut to protect the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose!

Neera Arya was born on March 5 1902 in Khekra Nagar, Uttar Pradesh in a distinguished & eminent businessman Seth Chhajumal's family. Since her childhood,


2/21
She was a true nationalist & always had a vision of becoming a part of the freedom fighter movement. She was also reportedly accused as an undercover by the British Govt.

That was the time when her father's business was flourishing in Calcutta, though his business was..

3/21
spread across the country but Calcutta was the center of his business and that was one of the reasons why her education was done in Calcutta. During that period of time, she had learned quite a few languages along with Bengali, Hindi, English.

4/21
Her father got her married to a CID Inspector "Shrikant Jairanjan Das" in British India but they were two different individuals, Neera Arya was a true nationalist but her husband was a true British servant. She was highly motivated & she had an urge of getting us freedom..

5/21
so she ended up joining the Jhansi Regiment in Azad Hind Fauz after the marriage. It was the regiment that the British always accused them of spying on British Govt.

It was the time when Neera's husband Jairanjan Das was given the responsibility to spy on Netaji Subhash..

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."


We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.

Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)

It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.

Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
