In light of the Boston police Union leader child abuse, this is very plausible, even probable. I have 2x, on behalf of someone else, reported, via Title IX - the woman or gay man was not feeling safe enuf to report. Yes, there is blowback when one reports. But we can’t be silent.
I am a mandated reporter as a #pediatrician. I *must* report for my patients or face legal consequences. Am same for staff, students, trainees. But in #EmergencyMedicine who do I call if a child may be unsafe at home? Sometimes, cops. Are cops safe?

I have seen #mentalhealth and entire life paths destroyed by abusers preying on children like: This happened to too many people I know. I have seen institutions intimidate, mislabel, bury stories of the victims. (Some predators wait until 18th birthday.)

“As P.W. Singer and Emerson Brooking describe in.. book Likewar: The Weaponization of #SocialMedia, this phenomenon of “junk” or “fake news” is not new. In 2016, a similar, but related, conspiracy known as “Pizzagate” resulted in a shooting at a DC area pizza parlor.” #SoMe

When it comes to #AntiAsianHate crimes, we need to be able to call it a "hate crime" when the assailant is not black as well.
"Sex addiction" ...but only towards Asian women? That sounds like race-based behavior or racial assumptions.

Stop, just stop this "but what about black crime" question
or "not to trigger but...." intrusive questions from the melanin & ovary deficient folks seeking to pit minority vs minority
or sudden concern towards #AAPI #aapihate from those who usually talk of "reverse racism"

There is a stiking difference, anecdotally
to when it is quickly identified as a hate crime
versus "but is it really a hate crime?"
that seems to be related to amount of melanin of the attacker

When I look at the news today, the violence, as much as missing my mom today was super painful, I am glad she is in a better place, at peace. I thought of her constantly. So many things I wanted to discuss with her. But she was too good for this world. Now nothing can hurt her.
My mom and I used to often chat about the state of the world. She was both progressive and conservative. Many immigrant and South Asian women lack self compassion in order to manage the lack of support, the biases while still needing to get it all done. Mommy was a perfectionist.
In recent years we talked of racism. She was starting to recognize her internalized so-called “model minority” biases as I had needed to do myself. We talked at length on #DrSusanMoore when she read my LinkedIn repost of this 🧵 @TamorahLewisMD
“I never thought of it that way”

@FBI - I have been marked as a target by alt right already - my #GOTV work is what #MarjorieTaylorGreene spreads hate on - citizen rights of minorities. The violence that smashed the skull of #OfficerSicknick on Jan 6 was about effective #votingrights work of @staceyabrams
(Deleted tweets cuz the posted link was wrong - gah. I hate deleting tweets but the meaning totally changed.)
What I threaten is the power differential in #healthcare -by my identity & work - all bullying is about power first & foremost. Yes, I threaten bullies & their sidekicks. I open, expand, include vs paranoia to exclude, block.

"Sixteen months before Anthony Quinn Warner's RV exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, officers visited his home in Antioch after his girlfriend reported that he was making bombs in the vehicle, according to documents obtained by The Tennessean."

#NashvilleBombing
There was no missile! There were no voting machines inside the AT&T building! There was no secret plan to finance the redevelopment of 2nd Ave. Want proof that we have serious issues in this country? Read social media comments! #NashvilleBombing #GetALife
This is sad! Type the word “missile” into @Google search, and it suggests three variations of the FALSE conspiracy theory that the #NashvilleBombing was really a missile attack!
The FALSE conspiracy theory about a Nashville missile attack is based on altered images. The RV is parked on the left. The initial fireball is on the left. Fiery debris (not a missile) rains down on the right. (Basic physics.) In the end, the RV is gone. #NashvilleBombing @NC5
BREAKING: @MNPDNashville officer says the RV used in the #nashvillebombing was playing the song “Downtown” by Petula Clark. Lyrics: “When you’re alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go downtown.”
Here’s a link to the song
In the aftermath of the Nashville bombing, a wide variety of rumors and conspiracy theories about motives/affiliation of the bomber(s) began circulating on Twitter. Trump supporters, antifa, and Dominion voting machines were some of the most common themes.

The themes of the rumors varied somewhat over time. Antifa was a common topic shortly after the bombing, tweets about Dominion spiked twice after popular tweets, and Trump supporters were a common theme throughout, increasing slightly after CBS named a person of interest.
Here are some examples of tweets containing terms from each group. Some of the tweets fit into multiple groups - for example, some of the tweets about Dominion voting systems also reference the AT&T building.

I’m going to keep tweeting about this because I wrote a dissertation, @ColumbiaUP book, and @IntOrgJournal article on the topic and here it is in the news. (1/) tennessean.com/story/news/cri…
The “evacuate now” warning is a common tactic by groups that want to destroy property and project strength to enemies (usually the state) while communicating restraint to potential civilian supporters. (2/)
The warning is a way out of what I call the “multiple audiences conundrum” (wanting to use violence to impress your foes without looking too brutal to civilians whose support you might need). I discuss this at length in my book cup.columbia.edu/book/force-of-… (3/)
