Time to talk Trumpers.

This is Cori Bush's bill to expel from congress anyone who supported election challenges yesterday.

Yesterday was Jan 6.

The bill is dated Jan 5.

*SHE KNEW YOU WOULD PROTEST, LOSE CONTROL, AND GET VIOLENT. AND SHE HAD A BILL READY FOR WHEN YOU DID*

 2/
You guys are going to take the "L" here and quite frankly you deserve it. Cori Bush is going to eat your lunch every day until Biden is inaugurated and there isn't a thing you can do about it.

So....

Let's talk about how to make sure this never, ever, happens again.
3/
How did Cori Bush know you guys were going to have problems and violence?

Because she was trained in the lefty protest movement. Lefty organizing are what she did for years, that's her area of expertise. So she knows just how quickly and easily protests go off the rails...
4/
She knew that this was likely planned by people who did not understand how easily protests go bad, and she knew there was a high likelihood of something going wrong.

Someone is going to say "They had people planted to make it go violent, it is not our fault..."
5/
So what?

Your job is to make sure your people behave, and that you have enough trained people to handle agitators looking to make trouble.

The left knows how to do this. The hold peaceful protests *WHEN THEY WANT TO*

Look at the Women's march, 2 million people, no violence
6/
The left also know how to be violent when they want to, and how to be violent and not get caught at being violent. They know how to train and control their people in a street protest situation.

I did an entire thread on Antifa tactics here:

https://t.co/aHdKDcsc1n
7/
Here's the thing.

The left has been at this for decades and there is organizing and protest literature going back 60 years about how to:

-deal with police
-deal with agitators
-contain a raucous crowd
-set boundaries
-avoid arrest
-control the media narrative
8/
Holding a protest means having proper protest infrastructure. You need to have:

-Your legal permits
-a planned route for a march
-someone to collect information for follow up
-people to train volunteers
-people to talk to media
-people to film
-available water and first aid
9/
-ready made signs for first time protestors
-people to help first timers fit in
-recognized leaders to deal with police
-bullhorns/speaker system
-a coherent message
-social media branding
-people to film and influencers to drop the best images and video from the protest
10/
You need to know how to do crowd control so you can get the crowd to act in way that show up well and look good on film and video.

You need to be able to have people at the forefront of your protest that don't *LOOK* like stereotypical members of your group....
11/
Setting up a protest is a LOT of effort. It is NOT just a matter of getting people to show up. If you just have people show up antifa doesn't even have to do anything, natural social inertia will turn it into a riot.

Cori Bush knew that, which is why she had a bill ready.
12/
The right and the center do not have the organizing prowess of the left.

Both the woke left and the regular left have more experience and know-how when it comes to this stuff then anyone in the center or on the right.

This is simply a fact.
13/
The upshot is this:

The riots at the capitol are a result of people who don't know how to manage a protest bringing angry, unprepared, inexperienced people to a protest and the President riling them up before they head on their way.

That was always a recipe for disaster.
14/
It was always going to end like that and anyone with a lick of sense when it comes to protests knows that.

So yeah, you looked stupid, everyone is mad at you, the media is all over you, and you still have a Biden presidency.

What do you have to show for this?
15/
The answer is nothing.

So it's time to stop.

No more Lin wood.
No more Sidney Powell
No more Kraken
No more "trust the plan"

It's time to stop.
16/

Do you want results?

Time to read....

Start with this book. Playbook for progressives. This will tell you how the woke organize, what they do on the ground to grind out victories.
17/
This will tell you how they think and how they rebuild after failure. A great History of the Protest movement.

Direct Action: Protest and the Reinvention of American Redicalism by L.A. Kaufman
18/
Read roots to power by Lee Staples

This will tell you how grass roots organizing is done.
19/
And of course, and all time favorite around here :

Beautiful Trouble by Andrew boyd and Dave Oswald Mitchell....

20/
The point here is not to become the left. We don't want to turn into the woke.

The point is that if you want to hold a protest, if you want to have a rally, if you want to be able to have a demonstration you have to know what the tactics and counter tactics will be...
21/
That way you can order your protest and set things up so that you don't end up with a riot at the capitol and making everyone hate you.

What happened yesterday at the capitol was shameful and the woke can make all kinds of hay with it cause the right messed up.

A huge mistake people make is to think of postmodernism, post-structuralism, intersectionality, Critical Legal Studies, Critical Race Theory, 4th wave feminism, and Critical Theory as being separate and distinct, having nothing to do with each other

This is a massive mistake.

2/
These disciplines are connected. They are not like individual academic factories producing different theories. The fact is that the ideas that are produced in various disciplines cross-pollinate and influence each other. The theorists make use of and share each others ideas.

3/
These fields are akin to ingredients used by activists to make the stew of Critical Social Justice.

Mix some postmodernism here with some intersectionality there, add Critical Race Theory and 4th wave feminist post-structuralism and *taste test* YUMMY...Social Justice!👨‍🍳

4/
Take a look through the activist literature and you'll see that they pull from all these theorists as they see fit and as they find it useful.

An excellent example of this is the book/website: "Beautiful Trouble." You can see how this dynamic works in that book.

5/
You all know the old trick about how "postmoderns" and Marxists are totally different? Well that was true at one time, but woke activists will gladly take ideas from both the Postmodern philosopher Michel Foucault (1st pic) and the Marxist Antonio Gramsci (2nd pic)

I have loaded the vibe trebuchet and launched into the world a large number of bublasuars, Ivysaurs, and Venusaurs. The reason for this is not clear to me. Although I do have reasons for having done so...

Sometimes our artistic nature allows us to intuit what is coming prior to the even showing up. It is sometimes the case that there is something inside us, something deep, that only comes out by way of expression and art.

It is not always symbolic.

So the bulbasaurs are not symbolic of some ideas, they are something I felt the need to express, so I did. As odd as it sounds, like a sad person plays a song, or a happy person does a dance, I am contemplating the current social and political milieu so I tweeted bulbasaurs.

I have been tweeting less threads, with less regularity, because there has been a shift in the social and political milieu and I am still attempting to apprehend it. I have not nailed it down exactly, as the shift is subtle, but it is there and has been since the start of October

I don't mean to be cryptic, but there has been a change and I do not fully understand it yet. Woke ideology (AKA critical social justice) has not changed, it is still postmodern and it still uses critical theory, but something else has changed. There is a shift in the air...

The reality of biology in a single clip:


Transwomen are women


I'm not being a jerk, I'm making my point with a sledgehammer.

Pretending differences between men and women don't exist is utterly absurd, and people keep saying it. This ACLU lawyer quite literally says "Women and girls who are trans are biological women and girls."


In 2017 Craid Telfor ranked 390th in the mens 400m hurdles.

In 2018 Craig Telfor transitioned and became CeCe Telfor.

In 2019 CeCe Telfor won the women's 400m hurdles at the Womens Division II National Championship.

In what moral universe is this fair to women?


Renee Richards was a male to female transgender person who at age *45* became the 20th ranked women's player in the world.

Richards now says if the transition had at happened age 22 rather then at 40 no biological women would have had a chance:

One of the most common tricks used by woke Social Justice activists to defend their view is to de-legitimize criticism by attacking the motives of the person who is opposing them. The goal is to undercut the moral authority and social standing of anyone who disagrees with them

2/
If you criticize the views of woke Social justice Activists they'll attack your motivations and imply that you're not being honest about your true motives. The goal is to make the audience suspicious of your intentions so they won't trust you or believe anything you say.

3/
By attacking your motives the woke activists can both discredit you while getting the audience to raise their level of skepticism toward you. This tactic is sometime referred to as "poisoning the well."

It is a dirty tactic, but it is effective.

4/
Here @BrandonLBradfor attempts to smear Conservative Black thinkers by claiming the reason the Right listens to conservative blacks is to assuage their own insecurity. The implication is people don't really care about the ideas of conservative blacks, they just use them...


5/
This implies that the ideas of conservative blacks are not worth listening too, and that even if conservative blacks had good ideas, nobody would care any way. This is the sort of pure cynicism that typifies Wokeness.

It takes guts to truly face hard truths. But facing them is the only way to protect oneself going forward. This is why I keep reminding people that the Republican Party is beyond repair. 1/

The Republican Party’s internal structures, at the state and federal level, are dominated by people actively opposed to democratic pluralism, rule of law, and U.S. constitutionalism. 2/

Once a political party refuses to drop its support for a leader, in this case Donald Trump, who constantly and consistently betrayed the country throughout his time in office that party cannot be salvaged as a player in U.S. constitutional democracy. 3/

Everybody else, from individual rank and file Democrats to President Joe Biden, must radically overhaul how they deal with people who do not disaffiliate from the Republican Party. 4/

Anybody who remains a Republican at this point must be presumed to be an enemy of U.S. constitutionalism, rather than as somebody with right wing policy views. 5/

Chennimalai Murugan Temple is located  near Perunthurai in Erode District. Murugan is worshipped here as Dandayudapani. Temple is situated on the banks of Noyyal river also called Kanchima Nadhi. Temple is situated in a hill


Sthala Puranam says that, there lived a Landlord who had many cows in his farm. One among them was a Black Cow, which didn't give milk. Land lord observed that evening time, when all the cows came back after grazing, this cow used to go to a particular spot and gave all  the milk


by itself. He decided to dig the spot where the cow gave its milk

On digging a beautiful Vigraham of Murugan was found, but lower portion was very rough. So he called a great sculptor to soften it. Everyone was shocked to see that on the first chisel the vigraham bleeded.


Land lord realized that Murugan wanted the Vigraham the way it was.

Thus Prathishta was done on Chennimalai hill. It is believed that Sivalaya Chola got relieved from his Brahmahatti Dosha here. Kanda Shasti Kavacham was first offered here.

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

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.
