On Shaun King

@deray

I wrote about Shaun King in an effort to bring clarity to a set of issues that continue to be a topic of conversation re: fundraising, organizing, & activism.I rarely engage in these discussions publicly, but felt compelled given the observed pattern.

nuther excerpt of good words — i now have to make my type-size larger in order to read. so long have i lived ...

i guess this is the best way: replying to a comment in a diary would probably mean drowning. so here are links to each separate volume of the most recently-revised (codes) Mueller Report. you only need to do it. you can also email yourself a link to this for when you plan to do it. don’t wait.

A New Version Of The Mueller Report Has Been Released In Response To A BuzzFeed News Lawsuit

The new version released Monday further explains why certain details were redacted from the public report ...

Volume I
Volume II

Screen cap from Julie Brown's twitter home page — Julie's first tweet following the pinned one is real interesting ...

courthousenews link from adam:

Ã¢ÂÂThere is a presumption of openness with virtually every document.Ã¢ÂÂ - @MiamiHerald and @JKBJournalist's attorney, on Epstein trove.

Without ruling, a three-judge panel seemed to agree. Some 167 files may see (redacted) sunlight.

miami herald link from julie:

Ã¢ÂÂYou canÃ¢ÂÂt possibly be serious,Ã¢ÂÂ one of the judges told an attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell who wanted to keep the entire case file sealed. https://t.co/KsyRLe8PMQ

A federal appeals court in NY reserved a decision on whether to unseal documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case. But the panel indicated a willingness to unseal at least some of them. Story to come @MiamiHerald pic.twitter.com/hORjILJvSG

THIS HEARING WILL CONTINUE TO BE SO IMPORTANT.
I’m republishing throughout the day, with link below to hearing audio so you, too, can listen.

some of you will zoom right by. some of you will be glad you don’t.

Adam Klasfeld of Courthouse News is a great tweep to follow and share.
Coming up Wednesday: (bird provides two CA2 links ...)

Look out for coverage from the Second Circuit, which, incidentally, posts audio of their hearings on their website. Ã°ÂÂÂ½ https://t.co/qLuPClyiju
Ã¢ÂÂ Adam Klasfeld (@KlasfeldReports) March 2, 2019

CA2 link for Wednesday.

Status link to future Pulitzer Prize-winner, Julie Brown.

(i still have a LOT of reading to do to be ready for this hearing ...)

again, thanks for reading. and from Julie, again, another frightening report to acknowledge:

One of the worst cases of child abuse IÃ¢ÂÂve ever read. I am sure @JoshuaWSharpe will write stories that will hold people accountable. Just so incredible and sick that anyone would torture children like this. @MarbinMiller @jaketapper https://t.co/ZBIh6ZCST1
Ã¢ÂÂ julie k. brown (@jkbjournalist) March 6, 2019

the witnessing is so hard, but we must.
it’s the least we can do.
♥

seems as if there will be “some coverage” of this continuing story, so i’ll just continue to republish the diary as developments develop. feel encouraged right now ...

Walter Reed Army Medical Center - Zprinter 450 - The Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. is using the Z Corporation Zprinter 450 to create multi-color physical models of anatomy to aid in performing delicate surgeries. — this is a mere illustration: we know his is empty.

Friday comes, and we wanna know stuff.

Will we get a chance to hear Walter Reed’s medical exam/official physical results ?
Will there be no further discussion of this important requirement for office ?
If so, why not ? Hiding something, Beeg Boi ? …

Thanks to JeffW and to Besame for pumping that old kos spirit to make this poll.

Can poll results be altered ? Could we ask Trix ?

and another thing: SoTU — obligatory ? big big BIG-screen substitute ? countdown clock to bail ?
Who’s gonna liveblog here so we don’t havta watch it ?

front of zimbabwe reserve bank note-bill for twenty billion dallars with illustration of stone marker of three stones depicting i don't know what. — should anyone be able to translate the stone marker, please do so for us.

and because i can’t think or write too well this here is why:

Why We Do What We Do

Posted on January 1, 2018 by Wendy Hanamura

This month we were powered by 75,000 donations big and small. One supporter in Zimbabwe even sent us Twenty Billion dollars! But what keeps us going is, quite simply, you. Your words of encouragement and support remind us why we do what we do. They make us want to do more.

front of zimbabwe reserve bank note-bill for twenty billion dallars with illustration of stone marker of three stones depicting i don

We asked our supporters “Why do you donate to the Internet Archive?” Here’s a selection of recent replies: ...

this here is the update, which i can’t have imagined having to do, but it’s real, not clickbait:

ptressel’s two comments could have been part of the original diary, but i did not know of this kog:

https://www.dailykos.com/comments/1730618/68890977#comment_68890977

with the links provided, perhaps more info can be safely shared with more people.

part two: yes, the rock message could be like stonehenge, but i’m not sure the location of the image and cannot “assume” size … i thought perhaps they were small …

part three: okay, then — what’s the jagged brown mark on the lower right side spoze ta be ?

our own personal diary, updated frequently, perhaps. and it has been: Newly UPDATED

three green frogs seen from above on a red shield with a gold center bar. — fear not: they're good ones and mighty smart.

just making a place where i can post stuff that would get me bojo’d for being OFF TOPIC elsewhere.

UPDATE: i clicked edit to post this here, because i stated the diary would be updated.

"#NorthKorea Ready to Negotiate with US With Russia's Help"

According to a Russian envoy that recently returned from an official trip to Pyongyang.

Not much more detail than that. If true, will be interesting to see US response.https://t.co/pc4IfwQ5DK

WELL I SEE AN ORANGE PENCIL TO MY LEFT. THAT’S NICE.

THIS IS YESTERDAY’S TEXT: Mark Sumner’s front page diary is full of comments … i gratefully made some of them … but now it’s time to carry over the darkness to tomorrow. grateful for all you kogs, especially the ones who can do a diary proud, by baby-sitting it as people meander in and out with news updates, location status reports, needs, wants, desires, left-overs … but let me tell ya right now: IRMA is a big, proud girl.

help make this feebly-begun check-in diary wobble on its heels to be up to IRMA’s power.

1st Comment WAS place-holder for check-ins YESTERDAY …
I WOULD LOVE TO EDIT IN SOMETHING FOR TODAY’S CHECK-INS, BUT AM TOO DUMB.

Link ‘em where you think ‘em, I guess.

Hmmm — should I unpublish and then republish so diary will be in chron on list ? ...
