"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Oh good! Well, I hope you’re doing good otherwise! 😂

I am so far gone from this world I didn’t even notice and didn’t remember who he was. I’m sorry.

Sucks to be early. 😂

I’m fairly confident most of
will hold up, but I’m open to being challenged. I’d welcome #QAnon researchers to weigh in especially peer-reviewed work.

When the FBI Arrested Epstein, He Called Kathryn Ruemmler Documents show Ruemmler, now Goldman’s top lawyer, consulted Jeffrey Epstein on a relationship and potential new jobs while delivering legal and media advice.

I still don’t see mine as a real number which I guess will be my problem if this does not get resolved.

Definitely not the best hypothetical on my end, but I do think a lot of the things people do in organizing spaces stems from a desire to be perceived as a good activist verses whatever the activism is.

We went straight to burning synagogues down.

Where an Indian person said “I don’t really feel like doing the land acknowledgements part today. Can we get to the topic we were supposed to address?” I think their head would explode. 😆

When you think about it, the land acknowledgment rituals don’t do anything but temporarily absolve the performative whites from feeling bad, which is why they primarily demand this of other whites. 😆

Could you imagine being on a call where…

Now this is something you can get behind.

Swiping Right: The Allure of Hyper Masculinity and Cryptofascism for Men Who Join the Proud Boys Little scholarly research exists on participants in crypto-fascist extremist organizations.

Has anyone moved from extremism research to marketing or brand strategy?

I’m fascinated by the overlap by narrative analysis, audience insight, understanding how ideas travel through networks. If you’ve made that pivot what translated easily and what surprised you most? 👇

I’m not going to lie. This was funny. 😄

Follow me if you’re watching #SuperBowl and analyzing the ads. I want to take a break from extremism research. 🤣
