      https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1396310016173363202 The founder of Stop AAPI Hate says that Asians are “White adjacent,” guilty of anti-Blackness. She says Asians should stop focusing on a “minority” of violent incidents that see Asians attacked, and should shift focus to Whites in positions of power.

        My vice is golf…. My hobby is cooking and food overall. I used to watch Epicurious TV shows, subscribed to the magazine, visited the website regularly. That stopped in mid-2019. The magazine went ‘woke’ before the term was being widely used as it is now. That’s when they started cutting back on beef recipes too. but more blatantly, as if overnight, went full-tilt ‘green’ on many things and the like - basically starting to openly shill for The Democrat Party, with a nod to vegetarians and vegans in the process.

        Owners: Conde-Nast…… Anna Wintour, one of the woke-est of the woke typical Democrat-backers (Hillary, Kamala, Warren, Bernie, etc.) is the “Global Chief Content Officer” of the overall corporation.

        Over 70 million print subscribers, almost 400 million digital paying customers and half a billion ‘followers’ on ‘social media’ platforms.

        Conde-Nast is the publisher of the following way-to-the-left-of-left offerings:

        Physical And Online Magazines….. Allure ; Architectural Digest ; Bon Appétit ; Condé Nast Traveler ; GQ ; The New Yorker ; Vanity Fair ; Vogue ; Wired

        Digital-Platform Magazines….. Ars Technica ; Backchannel ; Epicurious ; Glamour ; Pitchfork ; them. ; Teen Vogue ; Self ; Love ; La Cucina Italiana

        Look up what went down with ‘Teen Vogue’ a while back - You’ll understand the ‘nudge’ that is Conde-Nast real quick-like that way.

                          The article is behind a paywall, written by Cam Edwards, formerly of NRA -TV and now with the Bearing Arms website.

                          From the article, the defendant is a retired NYC PD Officer — his attorney:

                          A shotgun with a barrel length under 18 inches is generally illegal to own and possess in New York, at least without a license; however, the Shockwave (and similar weapons) cannot be legally considered a shotgun, which is defined in New York Penal Code §265.00 as a weapon which is “intended to be fired from the shoulder.” Mossberg’s “bird’s head” grip, similar to a pistol grip, makes it impossible to fire from the shoulder. In addition, the Shockwave cannot be legally considered a pistol because a pistol by definition was designed to be fired by one hand. The Shockwave features a strap on the foregrip designed for the support of the second hand. The prosecution’s own ballistics expert referred to each of Nolan’s Shockwaves as an “other weapon” in his report, meaning that it was not a “firearm” as was charged in the indictment.

                          As for the waiting list to get a ‘Shockwave’, it was around three weeks. Guaranteed the backlog just went to a year or better. And every shop with a working display model sold it in the past few hours, shipping to an FFL somewhere in NY State.

                            But the Democrats will just outlaw it explicitly in about 5 days, have a 1-month “turn it in now” window to avoid ex post facto problems, and then it’ll be banned belt-and-suspenders by Feb. 15?

                            After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

                            In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.

                            However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.

                            The below is a comprehensive analysis of our policy enforcement approach in this case.

                            Overview

                            On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump tweeted:

                            “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

                            Shortly thereafter, the President tweeted:

                            “To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”

                            Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our Glorification of Violence policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service.

                            Assessment

                            We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

                            This determination is based on a number of factors, including:

                            President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
                            The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending. 
                            The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.
                            The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election. 
                            Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021. 
                            

                            As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.

                                  “I am angry. I feel like I was completely disregarded as the ‘victim’ in this case because of who I am. I fought for my country for years and don’t ask for much in return. I do, however, expect the legal system in this country to do their job and provide justice, which was not done in this case,” Moon told TGP. “I was left out of the loop from day one, being told that i would be receiving a phone call to setup a meeting with the Prosecutor, which never happened, or to call the Victims Assistance Unit with any questions, all attempts going unanswered and receiving one single phone call from the detective during this 3 month investigation. The one-sided hypocrisy has become so blatantly obvious it can no longer be denied, or ignored.”

                                  Of course if the situation were reversed, we know what would happen.
