After the country announced economic austerity measures in 2015 to offset low oil prices and control a widening budget gap, McKinsey & Company, the consulting firm, measured the public reception of those policies.
In a nine-page report, a copy of which was obtained by The Times, McKinsey found that the measures received twice as much coverage on Twitter than in the country’s traditional news media or blogs, and that negative sentiment far outweighed positive reactions on social media.
Three people were driving the conversation on Twitter, the firm found: the writer Khalid al-Alkami; Mr. Abdulaziz, the young dissident living in Canada; and an anonymous user who went by Ahmad.
After the report was issued, Mr. Alkami was arrested, the human rights group ALQST said. Mr. Abdulaziz said that Saudi government officials imprisoned two of his brothers and hacked his cellphone, an account supported by a researcher at Citizen Lab. Ahmad, the anonymous account, was shut down.”

Trump starts leaving postal union in latest anti-China move
This might be a problem re: China getting better rates but this is stupidest possible fucking way to deal with it. Timmons is a moron if he thinks the US under Trump is going to get a “modernized and far more fair arrangement” with China. And I question whether the International Postal Union is truly as “outdated” as he claims.

Christ, that’s somehow even worse than the one above it. Define “everything” NYT. The only way at this point (knock on wood) that the GOP could win “everything” would be through widespread election fraud by them to pull that off. If they do that and win, they’ll probably claim some bullshit mandate and go all the way to 11 on Trumpism. A lot of people are already angry. And there’s more of us than there are of them. There will likely be violence as enraged people learn the GOP is unilaterally moving to repeal everything we take for granted in the 21st century United States. They’ll have to resort to shooting protesters to hold onto power. But of course, all that will do is pour gasoline on the fire…

In jail since 2012? What he got then was two years probation and a US$10,000 fine for illegally killing a bear, a slap on the wrist for a man of his means. Ted probably considers himself a political martyr because he was punished at all.

You can’t mock but you can certainly point. And have fun.
We have just 13 addresses left from our most Lefty Left Liberal Likely Screaming Feminist Dems file.
These are women who registered as Democrats in 2017 in Hudson, NY. If you don’t know Hudson, just think of it as a teeny-weeney slice of Brooklyn smack dab on the Hudson. Lots of beautiful row houses, groovy restaurants, and antique stores. (And a prison. And drugs.)
Write to your Sisters that they must get out and Vote on Nov 6th to elect Antonio Delgado.

You keep saying this, and it is insufficient. It matters how many people actually come out to vote, and how districts are drawn. And the GOP is aware of this, and do everything they can to tilt things to their advantage. And this is before you consider voter suppression efforts.
Yeah, there’s more of us. But we have to get out the vote and maximize what advantages we have.
Be careful what you wish for. Hopefully, we’ve got a long way to go until there is violence in the streets. And there is no guarantee that your street fighting will achieve what you want.
Right now, and heading into November 6, let’s get out the vote.

@Dan B: Us folks who are the targeted by it are alternating between rage and terror. Because it’s starting to feel like Germany 1934 and the beginning of Gilead.
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/10/21/18005594/trump-administration-transgender-sex-dna-test
Make no mistake, this is part of a literal five-point plan by the Talibapists — one that the administration and a number of states have already been busy implementing — to eradicate trans and non-binary people from public life, and I don’t mean figuratively. Maybe not camps, although there are those advocated for that, but by using the power of the government to harass us back into the closet, into leaving the country, or into suicide. They really don’t care which.
Yes, I plan to stand fight for now. But I’ve realized that I need to start seriously looking at exfil plans, just in case. Although the paranoid part of me worries that if I wait too long, my passport will get revoked for “lying” about my gender, in the same way that divorcees were deemed criminals in Gilead (since Gilead didn’t recognize pre-Gilead divorces, making any divorcee who remarried guilty of adulterous). I’m already afraid to get my passport updated — because I don’t look that much like my passport photo — because we’re already hearing about cases where the Passport Office is trying to revoke the gender marker changes of current passport holders, even in cases where the marker was changed years ago.
If you know any trans or non-binary folks, check up on them today. It’s getting hard to breathe and exist.
