Apparently Brainna Wu went digging through archives and found a 2 year old blog I’d taken out of publiction where I said she’s a “former GOP fundraiser” and is wrong for Progressives.
Brianna, a former GOP staff member for Trent Lott (R -MS) and intern for Michael Steele apparently worked for 5 years for the GOP according to her own tweets.
@glennf Did you know I spent a summer interning for Michael Steele, who I thought got a very unfair rap in the press.
Okay, that’s fair to base it off that Tweet. I was trying to sum up a summer where I attended a lot of fundraisers in the evening as part of my job and saw a lot of really weird shit. It was an imprecise statement on Twitter, back in 2014 when there was only 140 characters.
But, I’m telling you directly, I never worked as a fundraiser.
Brianna’s job duties included some activities linked to fundraising.
That’s certainly reasonable and expected in Washington D.C. where networking is a critical job function.
She was not a “Fundraiser” which some may take to mean “rain maker” or “bundler” or something illicit.
I apologize for any negative implications that may have been inferred by others based upon the title of the blog.
The results of the current experiment suggest that in court, the addition of one or more alternative suspects would decrease jurors’ belief in the defendant’s guilt, even when the alternative suspect is not actually believed to be the culprit. (See Tenney, Cleary, & Spellman (2009) for more study details.)
Apparently Ed Whelan feels the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh are credible enough that he tracked down a house matching the description and an alleged perpetrator and named them in a bizarre tweetstorm on Twitter.
Ed Whelan tweeted a series of tweets in which he strongly insinuated that a lookalike of Judge Kavanaugh (former classmate) commited the alleged sexual assault of Christine Blasey Ford.
Ed also managed to tweet the name and picture of the man he named and the address AND floorplan of the home he believes the alleged assault may have taken place in.
In other words, this is a massive DOX of private individuals to try to muddy the waters around Judge Kavanaugh.
When Brianna Wu was doxed by Nazi Trump supporter Ethan “Cop Beater” Ralph he tweeted detailed images of the floorplan of Wu’s home.
Ralph who served time in Virginia for assaulting Law Enforcement (a felony), had a nazi on his staff, Lane Davis, who killed his own father, and Wildgoose, a notorious doxer.
Yours truly has been doxed by Wildgoose previously.
Gamergate published a stalking, obsessive piece about my house, its layout, and the car I drive. It is terrifying. pic.twitter.com/2KXlCgGp92
The tweetstorm by Whelancame after he posted a link to this Washington Post article that irresponsibly claimed “mistaken identity would be a welcome resolution.”
Of course we don’t KNOW if there is no evidence or witnesses because the FBI won’t reopen the background check or assert jurisdiction and investigate the allegation.
The effect on the safety and security of the current home owner and the man Whelan named are unknown however doxing is a popular tactic of harassment mobs who know or hope that someone will take action to silence said individuals permanently.
The goal of those who seek, find, and then release personal information of others is ostensibly to bully or scare targets by destroying their sense of privacy and rendering them vulnerable to victimization by future harassers. For instance, a bullying aggressor might make use of your personal information by ordering multiple pizzas (that you never ordered or wanted!) for delivery at your home address. Another tactic is called “swatting,” and occurs when someone anonymously calls the police with a false threat (like a hostage situation) and uses your address, causing deployment of the police SWAT team to show up at your house armed and ready for violent action.
Flow charts of who talks to who, who was seen by whom and little is said about what was said at those meetings. Or public events. Or if the nature of the “discussion” was an attempt to understand another or just pure propaganda.
That same woman begged for “feminism” in the code.
We need more activism as code. We need more feminism in code. I want *these* politics in my code.

Do you think a woman who became a renowned public speaker had any influence at Google and Youtube over how their algorithm was coded?
Brianna Wu has spent years asking Google to put “trusted sources” into the code.
Tech platforms, including Facebook Google and Bing, treat something a troll writes exactly the same as something vetted by a journalist at a reputable publication.
Tech platforms bear a HUGE amount of responsibility on this. It’a why none of us can agree on any common reality.
Important to note: Google’s algorithm issues are congenital on YouTube, where young children are getting radicalized by the fringe right. https://t.co/pjFopmM3OV
The Alt-Right is very successful at using bots to manipulate public opinion like this. It also manipulates Google/YouTube results. https://t.co/wj0K3mJbqA
I’ve worked with your Trust and Safety department since 2014. I know @twitter is working hard and doesn’t get the credit you deserve. And I know it’s tempting to tune out critique.
But, I implore you to consider what your legacy will be if Trump starts a nuclear war
Hey all!! I'm excited to share my new @datasociety report. The tldr: a giant network of influencers on YouTube is broadcasting reactionary ideas to young viewers – and radicalizing them in the process. https://t.co/jvDUyiHjNK
How do you deal with data scientists that not only rely on biased algorithms and API data but falsify facts?
How to measure the harm to a self employed journalist who the Left appears to be trying to silence? Tim Pool relies on Youtube monetization for his living.
Congress needs to heavily regulate these monoliths. And investigate them for Antitrust violations. CDA 230 needs to be repealed and social media held accountable for the falsehoods their ‘data” enables and their platforms spread by accounts they allow to exist.
In short, social media companies need to have the same risks and responsibilities everyone else int he United States. They have abused their privilege of immunity and have abused others Civil Rights in doing so.
…thinks Senator Marco Rubio should be suspended by twitter for suggesting his followers call a Miami (his constituency) business to register their displeasure that the restaurant owner who supports the dictator of Venezuela.
Okay. Report this tweet as inciting harassment. Twitter, ball is in your court. You’ve got rules that are clearly against this kind of behaviour. What are you going to do, @jack? Is this the valuable conversation that needs to be protected? https://t.co/Gl532hhtHo
I mean of all the boneheaded things to tweet. What a fucking idiot. He's not even smart enough to hide behind the whole "i had no idea my followers would harass people" facade that others have used because he's literally saying "in case anyone wanted to call" jesus fucking christ
Randi also has directed that mob to attack people like Mark Kern and tweets intimidating threats of directing that mob at businesses if content is not taken down.
I don't often ask the mob to do things. But please, please, tell @lauthinv to take down this exploitative post: http://t.co/FxFlmCbIer
— chasing the dopamine (@randileeharper) May 1, 2015
Randi apparently wrote code that allows “token swapping” so anyone can swap tokens and fool the host of the content(such a a social media website) into thinking they are an authorized individual operated in good faith.
Randi has over 1,000 Oauth tokens.
@harper i've got a store of about 1k oauth tokens, so it's not a problem for me. might be for other people, though.
— chasing the dopamine (@randileeharper) June 4, 2015
Randi, who found a way for her bot to “make money” was able to silence LGBT advocates on Twitter who were tweeting to a hashtag she didn’t approve of.
Did Randi Lee Harper register an application and comply with Twitter ToS and Twitter Developer ToS when she was making those API calls with borrowed Oauth tokens?
LGBT had to approach her and beg to not be blocked.
Why was Randi Lee Harper, who is not a Twitter employee, able to decide what a LGBT advocate & DC based attorney could retweet and still be connected to her social network?
Her response to was to remove the LGBT from her blocklist, but if they tweeted AGAIN to the same hastag they would be blocked.
This had the effect of separating vulnerable LGBT from their social support networks and was an intentional, but avoidable, harmful act against a protected category of Twitter customers.
Ask someone transgender how many friends they’ve lost to suicide. The answer will probably be in the double digits.
We’re going to give transgender people access to life saving health care. Therapy. HRT. GCS. FFS. We will treat this like the health crisis it is. https://t.co/L6lGdsQsFT
Randi gets to decide what hashtag LGBT can tweet to and still be in their own social network on twitter.
He also got into politics with the express mission of destroying LGBT rights. He was angry that gay people were allowed to participate in the St. Patrick’s day parade.
How does Randi get to work WITH Twitter Safety, have a non disclosure agreement and tweet things like instructions on how to create an ISIS bot network?
@freedominguez I saw. 🙂 I've been working directly with twitter's safety department. I have faith they want to do the right thing.
We emailed Brianna Wu for a comment about Randi’s silencing LGBT and she responded in a disdainful manner and then emailed that she had some info about Randi Lee Harper but wanted that information to remain private.
Brianna Wu responded with information that we already knew about Randi that anyone could have surmised from Randi’s own tweets.
We can’t publish her response however her lack of concern for the LGBT Randi silenced (we showed her the tweets) is telling in and of itself.
Brianna Wu never responded to the question about harm to LGBT advocates.
Brianna Wu is a former GOP Staffer for Trent Lott (R -MS).
Randi Lee Harper alleges Wu had a somewhat close assocaition with Nazi Andrew “Weev” Aurenheim so is highly critical of Wu as a person.
3/ In the 90s, Trent Lott commissioned a poll asking white Southerners if they agreed with this statement. “The Democrats are trying to take away your culture.”
The results were through the roof. And so, the Republican Party started running on that message.
Wu knew that the book she was contributing to last year was being put together by a weev sympathizer. We talked about it.
— chasing the dopamine (@randileeharper) May 17, 2017
I'll name and shame, I don't even care. Tarah Wheeler has publicly defended weev multiple times while trying to suck up to him on Twitter. Brianna Wu was told about Tarah's ties to weev and decided to participate in projects with her anyways because money/exposure was involved.

Zoe Quinn:
The artist/programmer/social advocate is now involved in the comic book industry with DC Comics. Something tells me the character is based on someone we know.
After scoring a $13 million dollar startup fund for Dangerous, Milo has been ostracized by polite society for networking with white supremacists and trolls as part of his shtick.
Milo gets 13 million dollars on startup to harass women and PoC while I know women that LITERALLY INVENTED game genres and can't get funded.
Proprietor of a muckraking site, The Ralph Retort, Ralph has returned to limited podcasting after being released from prison. He served time for assaulting law enforcement.
Ethan Ralph is a frequent guest on white nationalist podcasts such as Red Ice.
Mike Ma: Breitbart Journalist Mike Ma was suspended by twitter for abuse and disappeared into the void never to be heard from again. We think he’s “Admin” on Dangerous but who cares?
His Vines were funny but he was a bully. C’est la vie.
As to a harassment mob leader leading a “war on harassment.”
Republican Randi Lee Harper’s worrying should have informed her behaviors better.
@jessesingal second to last paragraph is exactly what i'm worried about. "war on harassment" turning into a big fucking disaster.
….GWU Research to tell them how many people had died in Puerto Rico (how would they not know this?). This method was never done with previous hurricanes because other jurisdictions know how many people were killed. FIFTY TIMES LAST ORIGINAL NUMBER – NO WAY!
It is astonishing that @Jack and @Vijaya have allowed 3 people to harm Twitter to the extent that they have.
Lies not only poison the well for twitter and investors, but it destroys what Twitter is at it’s core. A social media company. A communications company.
Yet Randi Lee Harper, Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu erode trust in Twitter daily as they regularly attack twitter consumers.
Yet Twitter allowed 4 women, Randi Lee Harper (@randileeharper), Brianna Wu (@spacekatgal), Zoe Quinn (@unburntwitch) to label Twitter’s own customers as a “Hate group” equivalent to ISIS for tweeting to a hashtag.
Zoe Quinn is a partner with Randi Lee Harper in Online Abuse Prevention Initiative, allegedly an anti abuse organization.
Frankly it’s a leader in abuse on social media.
I've pissed off a lot of people. I've angered racists, TERFs, MRAs, ISIS, and GamerGate. You name the hate group, they don't like me.
And yet it is @Randileeharper herself who is “signal boosting” ISIS, as she disseminated instructions on how to create an ISIS botnet, twitter handles of suspected ISIS accounts and various other means of social media usage by ISIS to her followers (and the public as anyone may come across her tweets.)
Here's instructions ISIS propagates for using/creating a botnet. https://t.co/kfima1gJkY – this is >1 yr old. It's also their fav site.
It is shameful journalism, and contributes to the destruction of Twitter itself as @Jack and @Vijaya allow a lie to propagate and disseminate on Twitter.
Why is this person allowed to terrorize Twitter consumers?
@ashelia I was gathering data for someone getting dogpiled by Bernie bros. so kindly go fuck yourself.
(Adam has taken to deleting his tweets as protest against Twitter which monetizes him as they allow him to be viciously abused by a predator, Randi Lee Harper.)
@AdamBaldwin sigh. Don't do this. I really love your work. Don't ruin it for me.
Yet if you are a gamer, tweeting to a hashtag on @twitter which Twitter allows, #gamergate, you are labeled as a member of a hate group equivalent to ISIS.
Personally I think allowing a few loud customers to label 44% of consumers worldwide as a member of a hate group is abusive in the extreme.
I have no doubt this active hate of consumers is well known worldwide, and is leading to a massive loss in popularity, growth, and a corresponding lowering of stock price and destruction of investors capital.
@Jack think that $TWTR is for empowered dialogue, blah, blah, blah.
I think @Jack is misleading and does not care how his Terms of Service is structured to punish communication and is easily abused by his personally empowered abuser, @Randileeharper.
Twitter stands for freedom of expression, speaking truth to power, and empowering dialogue. That starts with safety. https://t.co/PbEoM1lCyb
First, along with Anita Sarkeesian @femfreq, Brianna Wu @spacekatgal and Zoe Quinn @unburntwitch, label anyone who doesn’t agree with you as part of a hate group.
It's unacceptable and cowardly for @Polygon not to call GamerGate what it is, a misogynist hate group targeting women http://t.co/HwFveVulZS
Randi likes to claim that tweeting her valid questions is inciting dog piling.
This despite no intent to dogpile. I was simply following up with the person, Cathy Young, that @randileeharper claimed was sending followers to dogpile her.
“Incitement” is against ToS. Yet @twitter will suspend you without even determining your intent, or the validity of the speech itself.
Interestingly twitter claims to prohibit false or misleading tweets, but those tweets by @randileeharper seem to not be moderated.
Also mentioned is adding large number of unrelated users to lists. Randi categorizes 44% of consumers, gamers as members of a Hate group, and propagates that block list to subscribers.
The only way they are remotely related is playing games, but Randi adds large numbers to lists and blocks them.
And then you can end up suspended for being blocked by a large number of people.
So this little ball of hate is empowered by @jack to limit free speech and consumers ability to utilize Twitter as they see fit, without actual threats to any other consumers.
It’s the craziest business decision I have seen in a long time.
Letting 44% of consumers be labeled as a Hate Group?
“I allow some of my customers to be silenced, threatened, abused and run off @twitter.”
I’m not @Jack, but if @Jack were an honest man that is what he would tell the world.
You see, @Jack, just went on @TODAYshow with @Mlauer and lied to consumers.
As reported by USA Today,
“I can block people. I’ve never blocked anyone,” Dorsey said.
Picking from crowd-sourced questions on Twitter, Lauer had asked Dorsey about his company’s stance and activity on censorship, which led to a conversation on blocking.
“Does Twitter censor?” Lauer said.
“Absolutely not,” Dorsey said. “It’s our job to make sure they see the most important things.”
Why would @Jack allow a rampant hater to hate 44% of potential consumers openly, derisively and violently when he is in charge of a corporation engaged in the business of social media.
That is, allowing people to connect with other people through the power of twitter networking.
Why allow someone to literally attack your consumers, potential new customer base?
Professional evaluation of @randileeharper’s false claims showed that only .66% of what she was claiming as harassment was harassment.
And in any case “gamergate” is NOT an organized group.
Some people meet on various websites to discuss the issue, and actually plan. This apparently takes place on open to the public websites like Kotuku in Action.
That all is perfectly legal. And by professional measurement, anyone even remotely connected to being pro gamergate was only a tiny percent of the harassment this salacious liar, @randileeharper claimed.
They all immigrated to America from oppressive regimes (The UK Parliament now spends time debating 1 person from entering their fine establishment).
Taiwan is of course the remains of Nationalist China, where Chiang Kai Shek retreated after being defeated by the Communist, Mao) and spoke out in favor of free speech.
And Cathy escaped Soviet Russia in 1980 or thereabouts.
They are now attacked by professional journalists and tech, and anti consumer and anti free speech zealots.
This is very strange to me, as quite frankly in the 70’s Milo would have been at the head of the Gay Pride Parade, when simply being brave enough TO SPEAK made you a hero.
He would have danced with the Village People, and people would have been ASTOUNDED that an openly Gay man was a professional journalist telling people where to stick it.
Instead he is now demonized by anti #consumer zealots such as Randi Lee Harper for speaking his mind.
Randi Lee Harper can and will have professional journalists barred from Tech events.
Apparently @Sxsw and @hugh_w_forrest have no commitment to free speech, either.
Randi thinks by tossing out false allegations she can harass and intimidate into silence. This is passive aggressiveness by design. An exploit, as it were.
"In not questioning people's motivation, it's easier to get a solution" – uh? ALWAYS question motivations bcz that's how you find exploits.

Professional journalists, or other people, are routinely accused of falsehoods by Randi Lee Harper, as Twitter stands by, watching her drive their business into the shitter.
@a_man_in_black sending a buncha creeps into my mentions. Appears to be really upset with that viral Twitter medium post I made.
In this archive, Randi explains in a deleted tweet that she is just acting like a dude. I don’t know many people, dudes or otherwise that routinely tell people to self immolate, and actually get away with it.
She drives people away from twitter in droves through her openly condoned and endorsed harassment.
@randileeharper thank you for this! Read it, passed on to team, and we're on it and want to fix!
She wants to build fences, and will use ANY language necessary to drive you off, shame, humiliate and silence you that she wishes. Including advocating violence as she advocates violence.
This of course violates Twitter Dev ToS, but no one at Twitter REALLY has any commitment to free speech, or fucks to give that she abuses TRANS people during the course of this filtering of content.
We need more activism as code. We need more feminism in code. I want *these* politics in my code.

All Randi does is call anyone else’s opinion “harassment” and Kristen leaps pretty quickly to publish. In fact she will publish without waiting for a response from the person she asked for comment.
Today, Herb Caen would be rolling over in his grave, as unprofessional yellow attack dog journalists like Kristen V Brown write articles devoid of fact or evidence and slam people who stick up for their, and others, free speech.
It was Mercedes Carrera (@themercedesxxx), who is not only a porn star, and by necessity guards her free speech, who is brave enough to speak out to defend others free speech despite the derision and scorn heaped on her by Randi Lee Harper, with Twitter and other tech companies direct complicity.
Mercedes was deplatformed by SXSW after Randi Lee Harper falsely claimed harassment and @sxsw and organizer @Hugh_w_forrest chose to believe a racist abuser of Trans people instead of keeping a commitment to free speech and letting Mercedes speak on her scheduled day.
I really don't care about people that are posting to that HT with counterspeech. Some people don't want to see that HT at all. That's valid.
— chasing the dopamine (@randileeharper) March 9, 2016
And the helpful “journalism” of Kristen V Brown, who is the least professional journalist I have ever encountered.
Mercedes, in the terms of Social Justice, is a PoC sex worker who was deplatformed by a white feminist who is openly racist and bullies trans and PoC to keep them in line as Twitter does NOTHING to her.
She has been attacked publically by empowered white feminists who represent the patriarchy, and are empowered by @jack to attack whomever they wish at their leisure.
And I have no incentive to be amenable to #censorship when I'm brought out as a free speech advocate for #GamerGate, #sxsw.
Easy. Simply label everyone with a different opinion as you as members of a Hate Group, equivalent to ISIS.
And then presto voila. No one in tech or journalism will fact check you, and in fact will attack people who speak up as those very same haters, or complicit with hate, or foul murderers, beasts and rapists despite you never having uttered an offensive word.
And so while Randi Lee Harper boasts that her enemy is both incompetent and only loud, and she hates men (you can hate men on twitter, it’s totally OK) and tells people repeatedly to self immolate (you can advocate violence on twitter if you have the right politics, even if you run an anti abuse charity) no one at Twitter will act.
Randi openly threatens consumers. She can, and will pull down your metadata, write a block list targeting YOU and then, knowing SJW Twitter is the worst, watch it all unfold.
“Unfold” as in SJW twitter attacks you relentlessly after being greenlighted by Randi.
Anytime you tweet hateful stuff at me, I'm just going to pull down alllll your account metadata. Take that, conspiracy fans.
It is is NOT surprising to me at all that Randi can do this.
When I wrote to @Vijaya, the General Council for help with cyberbullying (I was doxed and threatened by leadership of a social media company, Empire Avenue, Gareth Davies (@me_gareth), Keith Gill (@digitalkeith), Nance Larson (@nancelarson) and Chris Sandys (@usafa_93), Vijaya Gadde blocked me.
Proud to be working on these issues with great people at @twitter. Protecting free expression by battling abuse. http://t.co/b278Rqa2Ms
Multiple accounts were ultimately suspended for making violent threats against me, doxing, and non violent threats.
And yet I STILL find that Twitter, far from caring about the @safety and #privacy of their consumers, endorses a person who boasts of violating consumers privacy openly in her twitter feed AND advocates violence routinely.
As a result, I do not believe that Twitter or @jack care about consumers.
In fact I think they hate them. Despise them, and think there is an inexhaustible supply of them.
Essentially they are simply the new overlords, who in replacing the old overlords, say nice words while lying on national tv about what they do.
Instead of Twitter simply handling the matter professionally, I had to involve the FTC, San Francisco DA’s office, CA DoJ and Senator Feinstein.
Who ALL acted to protect me, an American citizen. Thanks Home Team!
I HOPE they will now turn their interest to protecting consumers from the very people who should be most interested in the health and well being of Citizens, ie consumers, from business which hates them.
That being the Tech Industry and Journalism.
Totalitarianism is totalitarianism, no matter how you brand it.
If government won’t act it won’t matter. You see I’m all in favor of burning this mother down (in the free speech sense) and driving Twitter right out of business, IF they won’t protect consumers from rampant abuse by Randi Lee Harper and others who seek to exploit others for personal gain.
We call on regulators at state, local and federal levels to investigate @twitter, @jack, @randileeharper and the funding mechanism that appears to be the shitheap known as @patreon.
For another side of Mercedes besides her tush, check out her ASMR video. If you don’t know what that is, it’s tingling people describe as a head orgasm.
Of course Brianna Wu, aka @Spacekatgal, labels anyone who is pro consumer and accurate journalism as part of a hate group, along with Randi Lee Harper.
No one doubts Brianna Wu received threats, I have as well. But to label everyone who posts to a twitter hashtag as part of a hate group is beyond absurd.
And twitter allows it.
Jack hates people. Won’t protect them from massive and sustained abuse.
