I keep hearing the average age of the few protestors who were arrested during the Capitol attack was about 40 years old.

There were some really dangerous people in that crowd. III Percenters, neo-nazis, the vanguard, the fist of hate in America. Do not let them off the hook.
I don't care if Elizabeth from Knoxville has her day in court. I want to know who this guy is and what the zipties were for and who his buddies are. And I want them off the street.
I want to know if active duty or reserve military were involved. I want to know if law enforcement officers were involved. And I want their networks broken.
I want to know who funds the organizations that financially support the fist of hate. I want to know who funds their media platforms. These are the accessories to murder that should be investigated. https://t.co/3vZ2ZBGXCZ
I want to know who is complicit in local law enforcement and who was a victim of terrible preparation.
I want to know who the political leaders are that provide support and cover to these organizations.
I don't really care if the podium stealing guy, or Q shaman guy or Pelosi note-leaving guy get justice. I care about this guy. Because this isn't his first rodeo and it is not his last. Fist of hate. Lock it up.
We don't need mass arrests. We don't need to fortify our public spaces. We don't need more law enforcement. We need careful targeting of the worst actors, the fist, and we need certainty of arrest and conviction. We need focus. We need to look past the bullet holes.
Red dots mark where planes were struck by bullets during WWII dogfights. The gut response--reinforce the shot up parts. But the real solution was to reinforce the parts that caused planes to be shot down and not return. The really dangerous guys did not Livestream. #CapitolRiots
If you are infuriated by the attack on the Capitol and want to DO something, consider supporting the Southern Poverty Law Center. @splcenter has been fighting hate inside America for decades. https://t.co/4VnEREKCQ2

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.

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

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
These people weren't murdered. They were legally executed after convictions for horrendous crimes, being sentenced to the death penalty, and going through countless appeals.


You can oppose the death penalty as a punishment without pretending that the people executed were victims or that carrying out those executions is comparable to murder.

As an example: Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered a family (including an 8-year-old girl) by suffocating them with bags and then dumping their bodies in a swamp.

That's whose name @CoriBush wants you to remember.

Wesley Purkey admitted to kidnapping, raping, and then murdering a 16-year-old girl named Jennifer Long. He then dismembered her body. He also beat an 80-year-old woman to death.

Maybe we should learn the names of his victims instead, @CoriBush?

Dustin Honken was a meth dealer that murdered 5 people, including 2 girls under the age of 11, because their dad was set to testify against him on drug charges. He was specifically sentenced to death for killing the 2 kids.

Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
