@GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes How many factual lies can you pack into one tweet> The Trump team had 4 cases in Pennsylvania alone.

In most cases Trump's own lawyers disclaimed any fraud in their own court cases.

Trump's handpicked judges excoriated him worse than any others. /1

@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes First: Trump sued over Philly counting 5 categories of mail in ballots.

They appealed all the way to the PA Supreme Court.

They lost. https://t.co/bQprvfqDvk /2
@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes 2nd: Trump sued Bucks County for counting ballots they thought were deficient.

They appealed that decision and lost. And the PA SC denied the appeal without comment.

https://t.co/YZVGpOxZCV /3
@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes 3rd, Trump sued Montgomery County to stop them from counting mail-in ballots.

Trump didn't dispute the facts at all. **STIPULATED** to common facts.

https://t.co/wqV1aPGNMC

Then they abandoned the appeal. /4
@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes 4th, Trump famously sued in Federal Court challenging the results of the election. And, as luck would have it, they were assigned a conservative Judge who was a member of the Federalist Society.

Rudy, however, when faced with the prospect of lying to a Federal Judge . . . /5
@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes Rudy hung his head and admitted that "this isn't a fraud case." So they abandoned the fraud issue at oral argument.

The Judge ripped Trump a new one in his opinion.

@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes Gluttons for punishment, Trump appealed to the 3rd Circuit. Amazingly, the were assigned a panel with a judge Trump Himself appointed to the bench.

Judge Bibas humiliated Team Trump even worse.

@JoeGebhardt2 @GlennGattis1 @toddstarnes So that's 4 Trump cases in PA alone. All losers. None of which presented any evidence of fraud the courts would find persuasive.

That's one State. Should I do the rest? Because it will be more of the same. Time and time again.

He lost. Bigly. /end

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.

In light of this serious cyber attack and this being the second in a row that I've heard in the past few weeks, I'd like to take this moment to talk about the cyber attack known as #phishing so that others do not fall prey to it and stay safe online.

Thread starts:

Phishing is usually a means of contacting you by impersonation to gather data, oversimplifying it. This can happen in several ways:
1. URL similarities: Usually when people visit a webpage, most people never check the URL (Uniform Resource Locator). For example, a fake URL of

https://t.co/x0brAMyKgF would be https://t.co/HrdE9hklv1. Seem the same, right? No. I've replaced one single character of "L" in @Google with "I". Therefore, your entire data would be redirected to the server that is hosting GOOGIE, instead of GOOGLE. This is commonly

hackers perform cyber attacks. However this is only one of many.
Many people might forward you genuine links with small "add-ons" which enter your system like a Trojan Horse. A beautiful meme of keyboard cat on the outside but a vicious data-mining link on the inside.

There's also other means of doing this. And you might think "But dude, who's stupid enough to fall for it?"
LOTS of UNINFORMED people are.
2020 was a record breaking year for phishing websites and attacks as per @techradar. It's not just through
A detention hearing is about to start in federal court in Arkansas in the case of Richard Barnett, the man photographed sitting in Nancy Pelosi's office (see: https://t.co/GAAENhkxf0). He's been in custody since his arrest

Prosecutors alleged Barnett was carrying a stun gun. He's charged with entering a restricted area w/ a weapon, violent entry/disorderly conduct, and theft. There isn't anything on the docket indicating what the govt/Barnett will be seeking as far as detention v. release


We're still waiting for the Richard Barnett detention hearing to start in Arkansas. Meanwhile, follow @o_ema for updates on initial appearances in DC federal court today for a few of the Capitol insurrection arrestees -->


Richard Barnett's detention hearing is underway in Arkansas — Judge Erin Wiedemann will decide if Barnett should stay behind bars. The first witness is FBI special agent Jonathan Willett, who was involved in the Capitol riot investigation

FBI agent walks the judge through surveillance videos that the agent says show Barnett walking in and out of Nancy Pelosi's office, with a "walking stick Taser" on his hip, as well as the widely disseminated photos of Barnett sitting in Pelosi's chair with his feet up

@advocatemahere finally commence in Courtroom No. 11 before Magistrate Utahwashe.


David Drury tells Magistrate Utahwashe that the State can't make a "Lazarus" resurrection to a law which is non-existent.

Prosecutor Muchemwa tells Magistrate Utahwashe that the State is sticking to allegations contained in the charge sheet and applies for @advocatemahere to be placed on remand.

lawyers challenge State bid to place her on remand.

Drury says he is interested in knowing the identity of the woman who was allegedly roughed up by @PoliceZimbabwe.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
