Gamergate never got the attention it deserved

It’s a significant story and folks unfamiliar should Google Karen’s work on it
I wrote one (1) story about Gamergate in 2016, was instantly targeted and threatened on social media, and was scared off from reporting anything further on online culture. Many media organizations have repeatedly failed to deal with bad faith attacks and are too often wholly unprepared for new ones.

The assassin 1) had ties to New Apostolic Reformation & 2) allegedly had hit list

In 2022 I went to New Apostolic Reformation conference (where Trump Jr & Roger Stone spoke)

A speaker projected this image, prophesying “Angel of death” would visit these Dem political opponents. It was a hit list

The parade today by contrast moves west to east, outside to in. It starts at the Pentagon not Arlington National Cemetary. It follows the symbolic route of troops entering to quell or occupy the city, not leaving with love and thanks. 8/

If you don't prepare for police aggression, they could hurt you. If you help your friends prepare for police aggression, they could arrest you. This sends a clear message: they don't want you to resist at all.

lol ABC News just fired Terry Moran

when these people pretend in 10-20 years that they did their best to stop what's happening during the press tour for their memoirs feel free to ignore them
anyway CNN is reporting that Pentagon lawyers are defining the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT for the U.S. Marines against civilians in L.A. and at the same time you have Serious Journalists™ defending the suspension of a reporter for calling Stephen Miller a hateful person

I think what we are seeing and are about to witness more of is truth about how little the right actually believes in America and what we claim it stands for.

How they’ve never gotten it, and how much their patriotism is bullshit and built on lies they’ve told themselves. 🧵

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

EVERYBODY WATCH.

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL.

Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today.

He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader.

Don’t turn away.
