This is such BS

The storming of the Capitol was just the latest in a long line of examples in which Trump's supporters took him LITERALLY.

At least 87 ppl were killed by right-wing terrorists in the first 3 years of Trump b/c they took him LITERALLY https://t.co/FEmOzv6Kxj

 Here are other examples of right-wing terrorists being inspired by Trump's rhetoric

AUGUST 2015: 2 brothers beat a homeless man in Boston with a metal pipe who they believed to be an undocumented immigrant. “Donald Trump was right,” they told police. https://t.co/am58g17gyn
3/ OCTOBER 2016: 3 men arrested for plotting a series of bomb attacks against Somali-Americans in Kansas.

Two of the three men were Trump supporters who shared his anti-immigrant views. https://t.co/sy5ZJJYm52
4/ MAY 2017: A University of Maryland student accused of stabbing a black U.S. Army lieutenant to death apparently liked memes about Donald Trump, white supremacy, and the alt-right. https://t.co/O6iUfVgbbX
5/ AUGUST 2017: Members of a far-right militia bombed the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, MN in an effort “to scare” Muslims. https://t.co/roygwBbTyZ
6/ AUGUST 2017: A man crashes car into a crowd protesting a neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing Heather Heyer. The driver enjoyed drawing swastikas, talked about “loving Hitler,” and adored Trump. https://t.co/CruXl5q92n
7/ JANURAY 2018: A 19-year-old calls CNN 22 times threatening to kill employees. “Fake news. I’m coming to gun you all down."

A high school classmate described the individual as a Trump supporter who “came in after the election and was very happy.” https://t.co/GXO79DtqOd
8/ OCTOBER 2018: Trump supporter sends a dozen pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and the media. https://t.co/BLzVU0MVQj
9/ JANUARY 2019: A man stabs two people to death on a train in Portland, Oregon, and writes “If Donald Trump is the Next Hitler then I am joining his SS.” https://t.co/NOMttaveVb
10/ AUGUST 2019: Man who praised Trump’s anti-immigrant policies kills 23 people at an El Paso Walmart, the majority of them Latinx. https://t.co/dxdDUKvEOi
11/ Here are the trends that demonstrate how violence against Black, Brown, LGBTQ Americans ⬆️ b/c Trump's supporters have been taking him LITERALLY from the beginning:

A 70% ⬆️ in violent attacks perpetrated in the name of far-right ideology in 2017 https://t.co/mFu1XNVVlS
12/ The Anti-Defamation League reported a 57% growth in the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States during Trump’s first year in office: https://t.co/hQXhABnuDK
13/ The Anti-Defamation League also observed a 77% increase in incidents of white supremacist propaganda and recruitment efforts on college campuses from 2017 to 2018 https://t.co/ZbmUrkyYOU
14/ November 9, 2016 to November 7, 2017: 302 incidents of hate violence and xenophobic political rhetoric against South Asian Americans, an over 45% increase from our previous analysis in just one year. https://t.co/6sS4hHPQtP
15/ ALSO: remember that as some of Trump's supporters took him LITERALLY and carried out violence in HIS NAME, Trump ACTIVELY made it harder for law enforcement to hold them accountable.

Here's how....
16/ Trump worked to cut all funding to a Department of Homeland Security program known as “countering violent extremism,” which provides grants to communities to counter radicalism through outreach. https://t.co/h2DZnK285L
17/ White House officials worked to suppress the phrase “domestic terrorism.” https://t.co/8XFrt8WqTK
18/ Trump’s DHS refuses to implement a domestic extremism plan designed to guide local governments on how to spend new grant funding: https://t.co/VFsAu2DOT7
19/ To summarize:

1) Trump's hardcore supporters have been terrorizing Black, Latinx, Muslim, LGBTQ Americans since 2015

2) Trump continued to spew hate, knowing that it led to violence

3) Trump tried to prevent law enforcement from going after right-wing domestic terrorism
20/ At the end of last year, @FBI reported that hate crimes *rose to their highest numbers in a decade* with a record-breaking 51 fatal attacks: https://t.co/HHvYGDmYYx

1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU


2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home

3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK

4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal

5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights

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.

Last talk about Securing Democracy at #enigma2021: @jackhcable speaking about "THE FULL STACK PROBLEM OF ELECTION

Let's imagine that elections use all the security measures security people have been advocating: risk-limiting audits, paper ballots, etc. Would people trust the elections more?

Jack would argue no. Most people don't understand this stuff and most of the claims people are making can't be disproven. And are massively bogus already.

Georgia did a full recount on paper ballots and it very much didn't stop people from doubting the election!

Are election security results in vain? The point of election security is to convince the loser they lost.

No! Have to focus on the whole stack, from election infrastructure to campaigns to people and mis/dis-informaton


One takeaway from the talk: the parts of the stack must work in tandem. Can't fight misinformation in a vacuum, but must build on other election security measures.

1. The major problem most startups face is marketing and the ability to carve out a niche, find and retain paying customers.

Even with a stellar developer team and a stellar product, your startup may not grow or survive without a great marketing and sales teams.

2. Start growing your audience before you’ve a product or an idea.

You should start promoting yourself and building your audience before you have a finished product or even before you have a great idea that you want to build.

3. Don’t wait to start building your audience after you’ve launched a product.

Most first-time developers actually ignore marketing.

They’re oblivious to the challenge of attracting people to take a look at something they’ve created.

4. At least until they see their first project crash and burn within hours of the launch.

There are so many times that I have seen developers spend countless hours building something, releasing it with no fanfare...

5. and only then trying to figure out how to promote it by asking marketing questions on Indie Hackers, Quora or Hacker News. Don’t make that mistake.

The kingdom of Sindh was ruled by its last Hindu king Raja Dahir during the 8th century. When Muhammad-bin-Qasim invaded Sindh, he decimated Sindh in his savage bloodlust. The chronicles of his advent are described in the Chachnama.


2/n
The Chachnama describes in detail how the Arabs led by butcher Qasim conquered Sindh. It tells the terrible tale of bravery, treachery, & carnage marking the entry of Islamic conquest of India’s Hindus.


3/n
When Muhammad-bin-Qasim attacked Sindh, Dahir had collected an army of 50,000 horses and marched from Brahamanabad to Rawar to face the invader. Qasim had an army that numbered in the tens of thousands with camels & horses.

4/n
Earlier Arab Alafis - Syeds from Prophet Mohammed’s own family had fled from Mecca with 500 men to Sindh and Raja Dahir had given them asylum. Trusting these Muslims would prove to be the fatal mistake for the downfall of Sindh & pave the way for Islamic invasion.

5/n
On an “auspicious day” in A.D. 711, fixed by astrologers, Mohammed Bin Qasim started for Sindh at the head of the Iraqi, Syrian, and other Arab soldiers. His horses and camels were disguised to look like lions and elephants. Rebel Jats also joined Qasim’s army.

1 of 16: WE ARE ALL JEWS HERE: THE STORY OF RODDIE EDMONDS

One of the most moving and relevant stories of the Battle of the Bulge, or any American Soldier in any war, is that of Master Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, a Knoxville, Tennessee native, who served with the 106th Infantry.


2 of 16:

Roddie was captured early on in the Battle of the Bulge, on December 19th, when Panzer forces plowed through his unit.

He, along with almost his entire regiment, was forced to surrender.


3 of 16:

The men were transported to the Stalag IX-A POW camp in Ziegenhain, Germany.

Roddie was the senior enlisted American Soldier at the site. As such, he was the conduit between all American Soldiers and their German captors.


4 of 16:

In late January, the camp’s commandant, Major Siegmann [pictured here], ordered Roddie, a Christian, to identify all Jewish Soldiers and order them to stand in formation by themselves the next day.

[Jewish Soldiers were a minority within American units]


5 of 16:

Throughout WWII, captured Jewish Soldiers were often tortured and then killed by their German captors.

In fact, Jewish Soldiers had been told to bury their dog tags before capture. The dog tag identified Jews with the letter “H” for Hebrew.

Hinduism is a minority religion in Punjab.

During the Khalistan movement, the minority Hindus and Jains were subjected to several attacks. Hindu and Jain temples were frequently vandalized and desecrated. This thread documents a few instances.

Thread

Durgiana Mandir is one of the oldest temples of Amritsar. According to the regional Hindu tradition, the temple was built on the spot where Lava and Kusha bound Hanuman. The temple annually attracts millions of Hindus from all over the country.


Amristsar has a very ancient Hindu history.

According to the regional Hindu tradition recorded in the "Survey of Amritsar", Amritsar got its name from Amrit immersed by Lava and Kusha in a pond.


Durgiana Mandir was rebuilt in 1921.

It was used to house the Murtis of Vishnu and Durga which were thrown out from the Parikrama of Harmandir Sahib in 1905.

Because of its presence in Amritsar, it became a frequent target of radicals during the Khalistan movement.


In 1982, in what was a completely unprovoked attack, the Dal Khalsa "activists" threw a severed cow head inside Durgiana temple.
