Any1 Can Access GOP Voter Data on Turning Point’s Canvassing App-Mother Jones
With MiniVan(Dems App), I needed a code from a campaign official to access the data, which I did not have. No such #privacy protections exist for #TurningPoint app, where its extensive data is accessible to anyone with a phone
Nostalgic toot warning!
We often celebrate birthdays of #scientists whose research was impactful on our lives.
But is marking the publication anniversary of research that was a #TurningPoint in our #science career a thing?
If so, a 40th anniversary toot to a #JACS paper that will remain relevant as long as #chemistry students learn about Ron Gillespie’s #VSEPR model and #chemists use it to intuitively understand the shapes of molecules.

This is not ok. If these kids were chanting something pro Islam every knuckle dragging racist would be kicking off. #britainfirst #turningpoint

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point nonprofits are growing quickly
Kirk voices extreme far-right views, and at the age of 30 has already been nurturing youth-led right-wing activism across the US for 12+ years
Charlie Kirk is a force to be watched as his reach and impact grow. He has a rapidly growing, well-funded group of linked organizations that he uses to indoctrinate the next generation of far-right leaders and activists.
My latest
Watching an in-depth documentary series about the cold war, starting from WWII and the creation of nuclear weapons.
It's slow paced, very detailed and utterly thorough. We're just getting into the 70s and 80s. I'm reminded now, that I had totally forgotten how dire life behind the iron curtain used to be back then. And how random the logic of "global leaders" can be. Nobody knows what they're doing. Nobody.

6/5 #ClimateDiary adding this piece, also reflecting on 2023 as a climate #TurningPoint: maybe it will turn out to have been one after all. Maybe 2023 and 2024 together. And maybe not at all. Anyway, good to have a reminder of everything that happened this year, including the fact that 11,300 died in one day in the floods in #Libya
#ClimateDiary As 2023 is ending, I recall my hopeful optimism a year ago that 2023 might be a #TurningPoint for climate awareness, carbon emissions plateauing and #Transition / #Regeneration - it being the 50th anniversary of Schumacher’s #SmallIsBeautiful and all that (see in link) .
I kept on sharing this great cover (“the new world is almost born” #Gramsci). But has 2923 been a turning point? 1/5
Something very important is happening right now, and we should all care.
