It's the last day of this dumpster fire known as 2020
Let's recap some shenanigans - #Ward45 sure had plenty

In January, Jimmy called out The Crew at Copernicus 
A photo bomber, a bounty, and the mayor visited us

The Point is resurrected in February - now ten storeys instead of 10
A firetruck can’t make a turn and Cuyler Plaza meets its end
Jimmy shows how tough he is and takes a stand against graffiti
A vigilante video offering a hundred-dollar bounty
March first Jimmy does the polar plunge with Team Alderbear
And barely wins committeeman - his enormous signs everywhere

In April Willie Wilson donates masks, Jimmy hands out burgers Epically
He can't seem to figure out how to wear a mask properly
In May at the little free library we meet (with complements) Al Chemist
Jimmy patrols the ward from the threat of antifa activitists
It’s June and Jimmy is hiding behind his office
While constituents march for racial justice
“Where’s Jim Gardiner” the crowd chants
Asked if he believes Black lives matter by a Black man
Jim doesn’t answer, instead just deflects
A defining cowardly moment - one we won’t forget

July we brought our trash cans inside so garages weren't burned by fireworks
Jimmy used CFD for park clean up, and gets caught when trying to lurk
He's also mad this month about an overturned porta loo
If it can be proven - but only if - he’s in favor of removing Columbus' statue
August is a memorable month – who can forget the Axident?
I mean, really, what’s the big deal about few more scratches and dents?
Power outages and cleanup from the winds of the Derecho
The month ends with a "heroic" save from a predatory Lincoln Tow

In September Jimmy backs the blue (maskless) at a Trump rally 
And unveils a brand new flood-free $225,000 alley
Some romantic personal news in October that Jimmy doesn't share
A secret wedding to the mayor's Senior Advisor of Intergovernmental Affairs

Jimmy dressed up like Bernie for the Trick or treat drive through
If you called the Democratic Committeeman Jim claimed he didn't know who
November - Jim’s on a Zoom and keeps asking for someone to unmute
Then surprise! He and Charles are served with a lawsuit
And we can’t say for certain, because we don’t actually know
But it’s possible he had someone throw a brick though a window
December brought the final vote to complete the SSA coup
We learned about apparent voter fraud by the guy at City News 
Jim killed another development because the NIMBYs complained about density
And it turned out defendent Jim won't be represented by the City
So many things happened throughout this year
Like Copernicus trying to steal the firehouse from Lake Effect Beer

https://t.co/wQrxQaJSpC
But this thread would never end if I recounted every deed of Jim and his miscreants
It’s been a hell of a year, let’s put it behind us, and hope 2021 brings some indictments
@threadreaderapp this thread is a bit out of control
Would you mind sending a link to unroll?

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
