A thread on election fraud, political grandstanding, and incitement—expanding on my tweets last week about Hawley and Carlson.
Let us begin by stipulating the following. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion, and the first rule of rhetoric is knowing one’s audience.

2. Consider three convictions (1) Widespread election fraud occurred, on such a scale that Biden “stole” the election. (2) You doubt that, but you think it’s at least possible. (3) You’re pretty sure that, despite irregularities here and there, they did not alter the outcome.

3. It is clear that President Trump, beginning election night and insistently thereafter, made claim (1). Polls and personal experience show that a large portion of the GOP public, for their own reasons or because Trump said so, also embraced claim (1).

4. However, when it comes to conservative intellectual and political leadership, I have not encountered anyone personally who holds claim (1). Some seem to hold claim (2), most, however, are in camp (3). They believe Biden won fair and square. So, apparently, do the courts.

5. Now, consider if you are in camp (2). You think there might’ve been serious fraud. You think it’s worth investigating. But you also recognize that’s a massive claim. A claim that could destabilize the entire political system for years to come.

If you are still suffering from cognitive dissonance and can't seem to interpret what is going on around you, let me see if I can at least help you understand what is happening within broader evangelicalism and the Roman Catholic Church:

(2) The "church" is becoming the state church. The church that doesn't just obey the state and governmental authorities but that is incorporated into the state.

Ecumenism will be based upon subjective economic, social, and supranational policies: and you must believe.

(3) And along with this transition you must obey and do whatever the state tells you to do. This is now "loving thy neighbor". This is the new collective.

And you must hate the old nation, the old constitution, the old economy, the old ways.

You must embrace the new systems

MY PERSONAL SEXUAL HARRASSMENT CASE :

This SYED woman had her new born baby admitted at JVC NICU. Her brother in law was SHO. They seemed to have high level contacts as I got a call to take care of baby from Consultant before the baby was admitted.

Incidentally, a cousin of lady happened to be my intern just days ago, she came with her own reference.

The rule was, attendents are not allowed into ICU except 1 to change diappers & feed baby, but this family got VIP entry for more than 1 attendent for obvious reasons.

The baby was doing well, some issues had settled, others were resolving.

On fateful night, I wasn't on duty, my colleague was.

Father of baby tried to interfere beyond acceptable level. He asked my colleague why he hasn't sent such test on repeat when it wasn't needed.

Next he tried to read the file & take pics with intent to send them outside, which is illegal.

My colleague objected but attendent was VIP with SHO brother, so it ended up in fight between attendents & my colleague, with attendents breaking some property.

Next day, I went to duty & came to know about the incident.

Now I was in charge of ICU.

As I was putting my morning notes & examining patients, mother came & gave me urine culture vial & told me to do her babie's urine culture.

Dear #YoungProfessional,

Beat Deadlines, don’t meet it:

In the world of social media and the latest gist/violence, there is the tendency to relegate quite important things.

In the world of work, many will meet deadlines, others will miss deadlines but only the exceptional

beat deadlines.
Many times, young professionals equate beating deadlines to not having so much work. That’s not really true!

You can make a habit of beating deadlines, it only requires the discipline needed and self-application.

It is likely that you’re working with a superior who likely also has a superior, thus, there’s a chain of command that probably need to review a piece of work before going to the client. Beating deadlines not only shows you as being efficient, it also shows you’re effective.

Am I saying you should beat deadlines without the required dedication and quality? NO! As I was once told, quality over speed! Does it also mean you cannot have quality and speed? NO! In fact, if you produce quality work and you deliver it past the needed time, the quality

work may become useless!
As I concluded my orientation& training when I first started working, I had a short meeting with a mentor, who is a partner at another top law firm. Over a glass of red wine and me asking how he became a partner quite early,

Another Friend suggestion: Do we want to require all new buildings to be electric, like other cities have done? Seems like the time given our Xcel partnership.

Weaver also had this on his list.

Jonathan Koehn: This is ongoing work. We've been thinking about it as part of the Climate Action Plan coming to council for an update this year.

"We really do need to be mindful of costs and equity," Koehn says.

Lindsey back to talk about the next update to energy codes. The next one is two years away.

Boulder all requires residential development over 3,000 sq ft to be net zero (producing as much energy as they consume, or else paying into a carbon offset fund)

I'm disappointed that the following needs to be said, because professors ought to educate themselves on basic facts, instead of accepting myths uncritically and behaving harmfully towards minoritized women in STEM.

People, especially women, who are Black and/or Indigenous have especially challenging pathways into tenure track faculty positions, because academia is still racist and sexist in ways that are intersecting and nonlinearly compounding.

The following myths and facts are paraphrased from the 1996 research article about Ford Foundation Fellows by Smith, Wolf-Wendel, Busenberg et al, "The Pipeline for Achieving Faculty Diversity: Debunking the Myths" at

Academia changes slowly, so these 1996 research results still hold, and in fact other studies indicate that the representation of Black faculty has worsened since 2005.

To summarize the research...

Myth: Potential faculty of color are sought out by numerous institutions, and the competition to hire them is fierce, because there are so few candidates of color.

Fact: Supply and demand statements like this are greatly exaggerated.

Earlier this year I found myself cooking for a woman I'd never met before who lived on a local estate. She was a single mother, her teenage son had picked up Covid from school,and given it to her. She had a zero hours contract, and had run out of money to feed her family /1

They'd been surviving on tinned soup for three days, but that was used up. So she put out a call on social media and I got in touch. I have never heard anyone apologise more, she was utterly humiliated to have to beg for help from strangers. As *you* would be. It was horrible. /2

Now,this woman happened to have become very sick with Covid too.And I often wonder-if she'd been one of the many who only had mild or no symptoms,what decision would she have made?Would she have isolated to the point she had to beg from strangers?Or would she have gone to work?/3

I mean,it'd be easy for me as an epidemiologist to bemoan the fact that not enough people are isolating after testing positive or being in contact with a positive.But I have money in the bank,I work from home,I can afford to have online shopping delivered.I can stay home, easy /4

We know how Covid works by now.We know the epidemic is being driven by close contacts,+we know that those contacts are very often driven by having a lower socio-economic status.People living in crowded households.People with public-facing jobs that can't safely be done at home /5

It’s interesting that so many people are talking about the issue systemic racism & white supremacy like it’s a new phenomenon & a new discussion. This county’s foundation is racist. From the moment the architects of the nation purposely exterminated native Americans &

kidnapped scores of Black people & subjected them to slavery to build it’s economy, while creating myths & legends & lies about America to justify her racist nature, this has been a racist nation. White supremacy & systemic racism is not new. It may seem new to those who are

finally awakening to its brutal & dehumanizing reality, but it has been clear to Black people for 401 years that this nation is racist. America still struggles because she doesn’t want to face herself & she doesn’t want to pay the price for change. She had rather continue

to believe the lies she has told herself about herself. As a rule, the privileged prefer those lies in order to maintain their privilege & not have to live with the guilt that the Truth generates when the lie is exposed. Meanwhile those of us victimized by a racist system have to

continue to simultaneously fight to survive while also fighting to dismantle this demonic system. We’ve done it, along with woke allies, for centuries & the struggle continues. But please know that just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean that it new. And if you are a novice

@spencermorgan93 I'm going to open up a can of worms here, I dont know if you will read this or if even what the next step would be but its a web of connections that needs a real journalist to investigate

So let's start with the latest debacle
School meal boxes as highlighted by Marcus Rushford

The company that supplies them is Chartwells foods
Chartwells food is owned by a parent company called The compass group
Compass group supplies the jockey club there events catering

On the board of directors at the jockey club are
Baroness Dido Harding, of failed T&T fame

Also on this jockey club board was the late Rose Patterson
The husband of Owen Patterson
The mp for North Shropshire and the former secretary of state for Environment and rural affairs

Owen Patterson is also a consultant of a company called Randox

Let's dig deeper shall we

Let's look at another consultant of randox

John Penrose
The Mp for weston and the government's anti corruption champion is also a paid consultant for the company called RANDOX

Lets look at RANDOX for a moment

Randox are a laboratory company who surprisingly won the multi million £ contract to process PCR tests which just happen to have 2 influential advisors

But how does this link into the jokey club and in turn Matt Hancock?

I asked the Taoiseach to ensure that the coroner carries out its duty in respect to the mass infant and child deaths in mother and baby homes👇.

It is the duty of a coroner to hold an inquest when a body is found in their district. See here: ℹ️ https://t.co/jQmq6ex1GK

The Government Action Plan👇published in response to the report makes no mention of inquests or accountability and simply does not reflect the magnitude of the crimes committed. In fact, it seems like a blatant attempt to avoid these very issues.

ℹ️

We need to make sure survivors get justice.

If you agree, I am asking you to email your TDs, the Taoiseach & the Min for Children to tell them there needs to be an inquest into the deaths, as well as redress, access to data, a commission for the disappeared and further research.

If you need some help getting started, you'll find a draft email template here: 📧https://t.co/h5v4LY3mkr

I recommend reading the joint statement from Adoption Rights Alliance, Justice for Magdalene laundries and the Clann Project: ℹ️

I have also put together a brief Q+A below on what has happened and will happen next in terms of the Report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes👇👇👇.

Q. Where can I read a copy of the report for myself?

A. Right here:

NEW from me for @amprog @CAPimmigration I lay out why the 100-day moratorium on deportation is critical and why the courts must let it go

So why is the moratorium so important? Over the 4 years of the Trump administration, ICE and CBP took actions that were both cruel and illegal, from family separation, to much much more.

The 100 day pause gives the administration time to get to the bottom of what happened.

Need more evidence? Last fall ICE deported someone even without a deportations order and even before he could go before a judge. They admitted their wrongdoing in court.

The same 1/20 Memo that set out the moratorium orders a top-to-bottom review of immigration policy at DHS. But to make that successful DHS has to ensure that no one is deported who otherwise shouldn't be. Hence the pause.

And yet Texas--who was all about executive authority on immigration under Trump, not so much now--sued to try and stop it, and a federal judge agreed, putting the moratorium on hold.

Here's why that is wrong.

So what happens now?

Let me try to peer into a crystal ball here in 2021 so we can drag this thread up & laugh at me and/or praise my vision in 2024

This is not what I WANT, it’s just what I think is likely to unfold over the next four years

Chime in if I forget your pet issue

First, there’s still a split Senate & a bare majority in the House, they can’t just ram through everything Nancy has put in the docket since 2018 on Day One unless Manchin & Sinema play ball.

Which I don’t think they will on everything. No packed court, no nuked filibuster.

We will see a second stimulus & possibly a third.

Vaccine distribution will normalize & by the end of summer we’ll be in a rocky recovery.

There will be a big fight for a public option that the Dems will probably lose unless they win big in 2022 because again Manchin.

Marijuana will be rescheduled & decriminalized but likely not federally legalized unless some GOP cross the aisle. Biden will be blamed because people don’t know how the system works.

But more & more states will legalize until it doesn’t really matter.

Trump’s tax cuts will be repealed, funding will be restored to gutted departments, but the brain drain will take a long time to heal, & no one will understand why everything doesn’t go back to normal like killing the head vampire so all the other vampires just vanish.
