Yes, @woodyholtonusc , I can. I'll start with where you lied on camera and claimed that Lord Dunmore issued his proclamation from the governor's residence in Williamsburg. He didn't. He was exiled aboard HMS William off the coast, because the revolution had already started.

Some of you have asked where Francis Collins and Anthont Fauci turned in their search for someone to do a "quick and devastating take down" of the Great Barrington Declaration last October. Here is one of the answers.

Both @nhannahjones and @woodyholtonusc assert explicit parallels between Dunmore and Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. This stretches the evidence beyond all recognition. Dunmore's measure saw very limited use & only freed slaves on the condition of military service.

Fauci responds immediately by circulating an article against the GBD from that austere scientific authority, @WiredUK .

This falsehood needs a #communitynote . Only 2 of the original 12 featured authors on the 1619 project were academic historians. Neither of them are experts on slavery.

It would appear that the 1619 Project's own editor did not read the book she edited, as its chapter on slavery and capitalism adopts an *explicitly* Marxist interpretation of labor economics.

Appears that those lockdowns and internment camps are really working out well for Australia...

You're not a victim of anything, @nhannahjones . You engaged in propaganda yourself when the New York Times ghost-edited one of the most controversial claims out of the 1619 Project just in time for Pulitzer season, and you went on CNN and claimed you never said it.

Just to be clear, these two far-left professors are debating whether painting a swastika on a synagogue is a defensible political act.

Academia is quickly settling on a bizarre new standard for evaluating plagiarism wherein the plagiarized party may exonerate the plagiarist by simply giving it their blessing post hoc. This is like saying "my friend gave me permission to copy his test answers."

7. The US government set off fireworks in New York City in the summer of 2020 as a diversionary tactic to disrupt the BLM movement.

Epidemiology twitter has a cry-bully problem. It's full of people who routinely engage in abusive, harassing, and downright vile behavior toward dissenters from lockdowner orthodoxy. And yet at even the slightest pushback, the same people take cover by claiming victimhood.

Looks like we have our first defenses of Kevin Kruse's plagiarism out of Princeton. The strategy seems to be to downplay its severity by presenting it as incidental & limited. Not mentioned: several other examples have since come to light.
