Charlie Warzel of Buzzfeed has reported that Twitter is considering new rules on “dehumanization.”
a smart idea – but implementation is everything / Twitter Is Expanding Its Policy Against Hateful Conduct To Include “Dehumanizing Speech” https://t.co/9vPIeRr6Aa
Having found that twitter mobs quickly label anyone asking questions or not obeying the herd rules to ostracize them AND signal the mob on who to abuse I think that’s necessary.
One way scumbag political operators like Heather Greven dehumanize people is by LYING about people’s politics AND then refusing to review facts, contrary evidence and running off while you are falsely labeled.
My BLOG is FULL of posts that aren’t by the wildest stretch of any imagination “Conservative” but that is no matter to Jack and the aforementioned liar, Heather Greven.
I even posted my Political Compass results as a helpful guide to avoid such confusion.
YOU DON’T CLEAR A SWAMP BY REPLACING IT WITH LIARS LIKE HEATHER GREVEN.
I think being lied about by a campaign major for a major campaign is dehumanizing.
As a disabled Californian I find it unacceptable.
I’m not sure if Jack agrees, cares or will do anything.
After all journalists have had to write about DEATH THREATS they receive before Twitter will do anything at all.
The Democrats admitted in court proceedings to not being…. democratic.
Heather Greven, from the Bay Area, is completely in tune with the corrupt heart of The Democrats and DNC, choosing to lie and evade rather than answer a simple question.
Why did @janzforcongress claim billboards by known fraud Scott Dworkin were put up by constituents?
As Ms. Greven told me to continue “screaming into the echo chamber,” I did what any self respecting Fresnan would do and I wrote my Congressman.
The letter is attached:
__________
Hon Rep. Costa,
My name is (REDACTED)
I am writing to inform you how divisive politics, which I believe to be “identity politics” has been used by Andrew Janz campaign manager to lie and deceive. And slander myself on twitter.
So you have some idea of how she is incorrect, I have to tell you a little bit about myself.
I was born in Wenatchee, WA in 1969, moved to Phoenix when 2, then to Fresno in 1977 the summer before I started second grade.
I attended Easterby Elementary in south east Fresno from second to fifth grade. At the start of my 6th grade year I was sent to Holland Project TALENT (now Bullard TALENT), the first magnet school in FUSD.
Mrs. Harris was my principal. Her son Leon was my basketball coach. My 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Mendes, was one of my favorite teachers. My 7th grade homeroom teacher, Mrs. Hetrick was disabled, with what I believe was a congenital hip condition.
You may know other famous Fresnans who attended Holland Project TALENT. Audra McDonald started there the third year (I believe). She was in 7th grade when I was in 8th grade.
The school was pretty diverse in staff, mostly women. The drama teacher whom I shared wtih Audra (and I have not .01% of her talent) was a black woman whose name I have forgotten over the years.
I graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1987. My friend from Holland and Roosevelt, Rabbi Elliott Tepperman was arrested protesting for Dreamers in Congressman Rep. Lance’s office. I have advocated for Dreamers online on my variou social media channels and am also trying to shame Rep. Lance into dropping charges simultaneously.
I believe I was taught by some of the best teachers in FUSD, both at Holland where the staff was handpicked district wide and at Roosevelt where Mr. Sischo and the staff were extremely dedicated to the students.
I believe this is borne out by the record of Roosevelt in the 80’s in the Academic Decathlon where we were district champs for years. The team my year finished second in the state.
I have family in Tulare County that came here during the Dust Bowl. My dads grandpa, a WWI veteran lost his farm in Missouri and settled in Tulare where he worked fields and started a second family.
My grandma, who was a teenager was left in Missouri. She married my dads dad, and moved to Idaho where his family settled.
My moms dad lost his farm in Kansas, and made his way west with a young family with stops in Utah, Nevada, Central Valley (Madera, Salinas) before going to Idaho.
My great grandpa married a Hispanic/American Indian woman and had a second family. Thus my family is ethnically diverse.
I have a picture of my grandma, in her 60’s visiting her half sisters in Tulare in the late 70’s or early 80’s. There is no difficulty picking out my Swedish grandma in that picture.
My Dad volunteered for US navy in 60’s when his deferments were up. He was sent to Officer Candidates School then supply school and served on USS Reeves in the Sea of Japan.
Mom and Dad were lucky as young Lt Jg to be able to live in Japan off base and experience living in a Japanese “modern” dwelling. It had paper walls and indoor plumbing. They loved Japan.
Returning to the US after getting out of the Navy, Dad answered an ad in the Twin Falls paper and was hired by Crawford & Company, an independent adjusting firm. It was with them he was promoted to Branch Manger and why we moved to Fresno.
I believe music can convey information and teach. I would give you 3 songs to both describe me, and how I feel about Ms. Greven’s treatment of myself.
I believe Ms. Greven disdains me for my question about why Mr. Janz twitter account @janzforcongress claimed billboards by a known to DEMOCRATS fraud Scott Dworkin (@funder) were claimed by the account to have been put up by “constituents.”
The tweet in question LINKS the Fresno Bee article wherein the correct PAC, Scott Dworkins PAC was identified. Why the lie?
— Voter Protection Project (@voterprotectpac) June 12, 2017
Ms. Greven is from the East Bay, and her treatment of me is very familiar to how others from the Bay Area have treated people.
She labeled me a “conservative” and pinned the tweet with the blog I wrote about her.
Why did I write that she was a “scumbag”? She told me to keep “screaming into the echo chamber.”
The same BLOG she linked to has my blog calling Donald Trump a xenophobe and extremist in 2015, support for a LGBT advocate beaten at work, Jacie Leopold. I have advocated for gay marriage and gay rights nationally and helped boycott Indiana when Pence signed his discriminatory bill.
Rep Costa, Judge Oppliger was friends of my parents and his son Trevor, now also a DDA like Mr. Janz was a child hood friend.
Never in my wildest dreams would I think that a campaign by a Fresno DA would lie about me.
Especially one promising to serve everyone with honesty, integrity, etc, etc.

No one owes a Democrat their vote. Anyone questioning a Democrat candidate is NOT a conservative.
There is a lot of converage of Mr. Dworkin in main stream media and the left. Splinter, Daily Beast covered his allaged fraudulent PAC. The Daily KOS and ProgressiveArmy.com have written about him. Democrat opposition researcher Will Caskey wrote about him in 2017 on his Medium.
The campaign of @janzforcongress not only claimed Scott Dworkin’s billboards were put up by constituents, the campaign solicited aid from Dworkin and thanked him for it.
How is this different from the shady acts of other Congressman?
I believe Ms. Greven signifies the failing of both parties. Divisiveness, by design, and attack a person attacking a question rather than address the issue.
As you consider the health of The Democrats know that people ARE choosing to walk away and this is seen by votes for The Greens which are costing Democrats to some degree.
How do I know this?
Andrew Janz friend in Hollywood Alyssa Milano told me so.
Alyssa Milano retweeted this tweet by @janzforcongress.
No US citizen owes a Democrat their vote. It is unfair to categorize every Green voter and vote as a “protest” vote.
You know what sucks?
Because of our unwillingness to pass policy that protects our election integrity, I immediately think the Green Party votes tonight are Russian meddling.
Why else would anyone cast a protest vote in Ohio when there’s so much at stake?#OH12
I am a disabled Fresnan subsequent to a fall off a 2 story roof at work. Heather Greven is a hater from the Bay Area deflecting from pertinent inquiries into the campaign.
Replacing an alleged liar with a known liar is not progress.
I had pinned my hopes on Andrew Janz, Deputy District Attorney in his race to beat Devin Nunes, Republican incumbent in California 22.
After all I had written about the xenophobia of Donald Trump back in 2015 and had watched as White Nationalists had taken over the GOP despite my admonitions against such networking.
Unfortunately Andrew Janz, as Progressives have written in the Fresno Bee, is “More of the same.”
He and his campaign manager Heather Greven are the same sort of swamp monsters and corrupt politicians that inhabit Washington D.C. now.
My great grandfather settled in Tulare during the Dust Bowl and I have a large, multicultural family in Tulare County.
Though I do not reside inside Congressional district 22, I do reside in Fresno County where Mr. Janz is a deputy district attorney for the Fresno County DA’s office.
I grew up with a coworker of Mr. Janz, Trevor Oppliger. Judge Oppliger was friends with my parents.
My uncle is retired CHP and was Public Affairs Officer for the Visalia CHP. He is currently working for Tulare County DA”s office as an investigator.
How do I know that Janz is a fundamentally dishonest politician?
He claimed that billboards that were funded by known scammer/grifter Scott Dworkin were put up by “constituents.”
According to Splinter, the PAC Dworkin funneled the donations he raised to,
According to a piece out on Wednesday by The Daily Beast, one of these new anti-Trump PACs, the Democratic Coalition Against Trump, has been sinking its donors’ money into consultants and its own legal expenses rather than tangible action to fight back against the president.
Journalist Greg Greenwald notes that,
In fact, this charlatan exposed as a #Resistance profiteer & grifter not only claims to be one of the “leaders” of the #Resistance but also says he’s an “@amjoyshow on MSNBC contributor.”
The coverage by the Fresno Bee which @janzforcongress correctly identified the PAC behind the billboards but did not explicitly link scammer Dworkin, instead identifying Nate Lerner as the spokesperson.
This is what happens if u obstruct the #TrumpRussia investigation. I hope Rep Devin Nunes enjoys having these billboards up in his district. https://t.co/8Oe9SXApcm
Keep screaming into the echo chamber my friend. @ me all you want it's free!
— Heather Grevenworth 🏳️🌈 (@heathergreven) July 31, 2018
The lies, deflection and character assasination/smears are precisley what is wrong with Congress NOW. Why send Janz to DC when we can have all that from him on Twitter and not give him any ability or power to do more damage?
Although simply a small part of a worse pattern of abuse that takes place on Twitter, violent threats and doxing, being lied about by people that you have blocked, with little to no recourse is costing Twitter customers.
When such maliciously abuse people, that are otherwise claiming to be cybersecurity professionals lie, it’s extremely frustrating.
Yet that’s what Asher Langston does.
Asher is employed by Juniper Networks, and is apparently free to tweet lies on company time (I’m in CA, and these tweets appear to have occured on regular work hours) about myself.
Given his longstand history of abuse (he has tweeted he had no idea who might want him fired after a busy week), it remains clear that safety and privacy are simply not a concern of Twitter’s for their customers.
@justinweidner Normally I might be able to say who did this, but this has been a very busy week for me on twitter dot com.
Responding to them with legitimate intent to discuss a matter of public interest is perfectly appropriate and what twitter is for.
That the lady appears to have been willing to integrate what she learned on tv into her counseling practice however is not really appropriate in the State of California to my knowledge.
And when a tweet crossed my timeline that a licensed professional councilor was going to amend her practice to teach something she learned on television from @deray, I was concerned about it.
I tweeted her to inquire, and tweeted my local Congressman. Congressman Costas and just slightly to the east of me, Congressman Devin Nunes.
Apparently in Asher land contacting your representatives on Twitter is done to “intimidate.”
Incidentailly I believe the congressmen are democrat and republican, respectively.
.@schlockdaddy he immediately tagged in a politician to intimidate, and started contacting her off Twitter as well.
He surely didn’t ask me why I did it. I did it because I was concerned with the efficacy of professional counseling by a licensee in the State of California.
Such harassment by serial liars and cyberbullies that you can’t even block is part of the reason twitter has the reputation it has.
They should clean up Twitter and start with getting rid of the obvious problem children, like Asher.
By the way, Asher doesn’t hold himself to the same apparent standard. He researches people that tweet him.
