(thread from @asankin)

In the leaked chatlogs of the UTR planners, it's pretty clear the goal of the event to bring themselves closer to the GOP mainstream. It was all about giving legitimacy to their movement.

They talked about wearing MAGA hats and provoking antifa to attack them, so mainstream Trump supporters would also feel threatened. They wanted to open carry firearms because they believed most NRA members could be nudged into white nationalism by some good press.

UTR was supposed to be a big coming out party for the movement. But reading the chatlogs in the moments after Heather Heyer was killed, the whole thing immediately collapses.

They understood instantly their moment had been lost. With the attack, UTR couldn't be seen by anyone as just some regular folks demonstrating in favor of white supremacy. It was the uncontrollable violence of the Klan (whom organizers had discouraged attending in their robes).

Spencer was mad bc he knew this was their big moment & it had been squandered. He lapsed into anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, because that's the reflexive fallback for the alt-right. It happened in the UTR Discord, r/the_donald & Alex Jones spit it out too

Spencer's influence in the movement seems to have really dropped in the last couple years. He didn't appear to be one of the main organizational forces behind UTR, but it represented apex of his particular brand of white supremacist activism.

Anyway, the important thing to remember here is that Spencer is funded by revenue from his parents' government-subsidized cotton plantation.

If you would like to listen to @Al_Letson ask Spencer about living off his mommy and daddy's government-funded cotton farms, and it is (of course) amazing, please click here:

Adding: if you haven’t seen the Richard Spencer rant that truly gets straight to the heart of what the “alt-right” is all about, here’s a link for you.

Motherhood of 16 years.

Amazing years-They just went by swiftly. When I look back to her turning 16; each moment of her being is just divine; A God’s angel gifted to me. She gave a meaning to my life; living my life and my childhood once again through her eyes. Her first cry; her first word; to her first test; to her first sadness; to her first friend all are truly special moments. I wish I could again live them each day.

0 years in the tummy: Kicking mummy dearest with all her might.. for every month making her mumma cry in pain almost bed ridden- Mamma feeding herself Rasgullas and pomegranates and all nutritious food for healthy good looking baby.

I will be helluva of a girl Mamma ! Watch out for me...Navratre comes; full blown pregnant mumma dreams of Durga and Laxmi. Is there a cute little Meri Durga in my tummy?.. mumma is dreaming of little princesses clad in white lehngas running around laughing and giggling around the house with sounds of lil girls wearing Payals. Yes it is the sign of my princess arriving my Durga my Laxmi my Sarswati arriving..

Two days post Dusshera she is Born Eshita Vani !! aka Laxmi Sarswati...

0-1 year : was the most quietest time; beautiful angel always looking towards her mummy with blue eyes. Lil angel beautiful; pink as a rose; doe eyed - mumma’s heart out of her body..

1-2 years: Loathed the Crèche. Howled her lungs out as she had to leave Mumma’s arms. Always looking for mummy’s bosom for breastfeed - the moment mummy is in sight. She knows no one except mummy and mummy’s arms. She cried and cried when she went through a mundan. Mummy’s heart wept to see her that sad.

Calls her father Daadda; doting father; who just lets her do everything- right to Painting the Ghar ka wall with Crayons to not wearing anything only undies...

Comes Mausi the villain - gets the little Esha wean off breast milk - mummy’s heart bled watching Lil Esha lick salt and mirchi. Cried all night missing her comfort - mumma’s Duddhoo. Mausi is practical and loving will sleep with Esha for next 7 days...

2-4 years: Now found new love in grandparents; Aaka; and Mausi. She is fast; supermodel always infront of mirror; changing clothes every 30 mins. Cat walked her way every where.

Mummy made a really bad hairlook to school yet told her teacher my mummy says I am beautiful and look like a princess.

Pride of a lioness cub; lovely as a doe; yet feisty in 2 feet of her being.

Her Aaka is the greatest; her first friend; she ruled him with her demands and he reciprocated with all his love to his Eshu.

Meri laado ki mehndi every weekend courtesy Naana!!

4-6 years: Blackmailed her mummy to buy clothes with her little tantrums in the mall. You should now know her as my little Paris Hilton - color coded top to bottom with mini satchel; sunglasses; shoes and dress. She is my Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell walking out of Lilliput Kid’s Store.

Enrique Iglesias croaking for her always since kid...A 5 years old Esha singing along I'm not in love it's just a fase that I'm going through i 'm always looking for something new 🎶🎵🎶🎵

Her Daadda disappears... Esha is a l’il sad each day as it goes yet each day a lot more happier with her new life with Naana; Naani and Mummy enfolds with new adventure infront of her... Her Naana becomes her strong fort around her. Her Aaka becomes her bro her friend her mausa No he is only Aaka....

Naani’s little brat was scolded- Little Esha packed her Barbie stroller and said I am leaving the house... couldnot help but turned back from the front door oh she doesn’t know where to go!

Homework with mummy never ! Mummy and home are supposed to be fun... PTM teacher pointed out she doesn’t do homework... Hello aren’t you supposed to teach her... she is supposed to spend time with Mumma and simply have fun.. school changed their rules...

Esha watches her Mausi’s tummy grow with doted eyes who is in there; will be taking her space.

Esha is 5 years and her sister arrives Anika.... She see her come to this world...her mausi shouting to top of her voice.. Amazed to witness the birth of her baby sister

They grow...4 and 9 uff.. what rivalry they share... right from Dresses to Doremon toys-Nothing to share with each other - every minute of love and play broken by a bout of fight and heartbreaks.

Esha growing with Naana and Naani and mummy.. Esha a little sad a little happy as new life stores lots of adventure and new world.

6-10 years: Comes Naani the SuperMom- life mein Twist... Naani brought Esha back to two T-shirts’ and two jeans. Finally hindi lessons and writing at age of 6..

Naani made Esha Raani excel in class. Every year Golden Star award! My Paris Hilton became Super achiever. Every year strived to do better than before...

My Golu molu angel had best of time with her Naana ... Naana loved his piece of heart... Her every wish is a command for him...

Yuvaan her lil brother comes to the world.., Lil Esha all overwhelmed looking at her small bro - dances in celebration in Mumbai along with Anika. She is taking care of her Mausi.. as she is happy for Yuvaan..

10 years-12 years Golu Molu Esha is a bunny toothed. Anjali Ekka is a soul sister; growing friendship see no bound.

My friends are her friends.. Her first pasta at Bristol with Abhishek uncle; Abhishek Uncle became the Pasta Uncle... every weekend she said innocently Aaj pasta uncle ke paas jaa rahe hai Kya ?

Sprite her favorite drink- Naana has smuggled Sprite at home come what may..

She is in love with her Maths teacher Richa Ma’am- she made her fall in love with maths for life...o Richa Maam married why O Richa Maam pregnant ohNo...

13 years - finally teenager Smita mausi - comes with a lot of teen wisdom n a lot of checklist for Lil Esha to accomplish. Her first kindle arrives with Smita mausi. Her love with books grows from here.

Arpita mausi nicknamed Eshita “Rockstar” - shares same interests - mimeing and singing. Hearing Arpita mausi sing- Esha finds her new interest of singing.

13 years : Watches Beti Bachao Andolan asks why it is important... and her existential question where is her dadda.. on talking with him for 3 days she says - mamma I am proud of you .you made the right decision.

Esha I am proud of you... you are my lil hero who inspires me to be the best version of me every day. To smile come what May ...

14-15 years - Mausi and Aaka are the guradian angels. Mausi keeping hawk eye on Esha’s progress.

Gets herself braces. the unbearable pain of braces for the entire year but the future to have better teeth than bunny teeth.

Anika’s Didi is growing; she is the big sister now.. Still sharing rivalry not for Doremon but for “she said- I said” “don’t disturb me”and wet eyes....wahi roothna wahi manaana... Esha Didi is teenager and Anika a small girl still... want to spend more time with Esha Didi. Esha Didi make pasta for me- says Anika

15 to 16 years: Anika’s Didi is motivating Anika to be focused and determined to excel.

Pamper your skin in the lockdown with these superpower beauty ingredients - more lifestyle

https://liveindiatimes.com/pamper-your-skin-in-the-lockdown-with-these-superpower-beauty-ingredients-more-lifestyle/

This season’s look is all about healthy, problem-free skin that doesn’t need too much makeup. As you spend a lot of time at home in the lockdown, you can put natural ingredients to great use to achieve your skin goals. We ask beauty experts and bloggers to share which kitchen ingredient they swear by and why.

Curd or Dahi ( Shutterstock )

Shilpa Arora, lifestyle blogger: Eat and apply curd to glow from inside out

Curd is beneficial not only for digestion or immunity but it can do wonders for your skin as well. If you want soft, nourished and supple skin then the solution is eating curd daily and also applying it on your face. Mix curd and honey to make a smooth paste and leave on the face for 15 min. Rinse off with cold water. With its anti-inflammatory properties, curd soothes your skin and is an effective remedy for sunburn too.

Haldi or turmeric ( Shutterstock )

Divyun Nanda, lifestyle blogger: Haldi helps heal

Haldi or turmeric has always been my favourite beauty ingredient due to its amazing antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. It helps deep clean the pores, calm the skin and heal acne. In the lockdown, I have been using this traditional ubtan with haldi. I take a little haldi (powdered), besan, masoor dal (the pink or malka variety), some olive oil or mustard oil and honey along with half lemon juice to make a paste and apply on the face and neck. I allow it to remain for 15 minutes, and then I wash it off with cold water. It removes dead cells and imparts a pink glow to my skin.

Kalongi oil ( Shutterstock )

Tanisha Pant, beauty expert: Kalonji oil is packed with beauty benefits

Just like our inner skin, our skin and hair also need nutrient rich food. I use a mix of eggs, sugar and kalonji oil to make a rich paste. I apply it on my hair for 20 minutes and then wash off with a mild, sulfate free shampoo. A mix of buttermilk and kalonji oil is great to brighten up dull skin. Buttermilk has natural bleaching properties, and kalonji oil has antibacterial properties which prevent allergies.

Besan or Gramflour ( Shutterstock )

Richa Aggarwal, makeup expert: Besan is an all-rounder

For me, it’s besan. It can be turned into a scrub for deep cleansing, a hydrating pack for dry skin, a brightening agent for dull, tanned skin, and an oil absorber for oily skin. It depends on what you mix it up with to make it perform a certain task. For a quick scrub, mix it with orange peel powder. To nourishing dry skin, mix besan with honey and malai, for oily skin, add haldi and chaach to it, for normal skin, mix with raw milk, while for brightening up your complexion, soak a few strands of saffron in water and add besan to make a pack.

2016

Here’s a recap of my 2016.

I remember 2016 not starting out so well. I remember I was feeling depressed in January. I wanted to switch out of my major because I hated it. I found it boring and it didn’t interest me. I told my parents about it and they didn’t really react well considering that my mom is kinnnnd of traditional when it comes to school and she really wanted me to continue in accounting. I felt really lost, but I had my siblings and friends helping me out and supporting me. I decided to switch from accounting to healthcare administration and I was pretty happy with that decision.

Still, it was kind of a gloomy month for me. I remember impulsively cutting my hair soo short because I thought I needed some kind of change in my life to make me happy and I just had to get out of that depression

In February, I remember deciding to pledge for a co-ed fraternity. I wanted to make new friends, and have another reason to come to school and I thought that it was a perfect opportunity for me. The process was 10 weeks long though and I heard that it was A LOT of work, but I really wanted to do it.

I also remember in February when I had a huge fight with Tim. I’m not sure what we were even fighting about, but it was probably our biggest argument. We even almost broke up and I remember our depressing ass Valentine’s Day… But we eventually worked it out. We stopped fighting too.

In March, I remember my family and I moving from Cerritos to Lakewood. I remember that my siblings and I didn’t exactly love our new house, but our parents did. I remember my Bing (my little sister) and I complaining how small our room was that we had to share. But we moved anyways. It was a lot bigger than our old house though. I remember we had NOTHING packed until 3 days before our move. It was so busy, but moving was sort of fun. It was fun decorating the house, going to IKEA with my siblings and setting up our furniture. It was a big change for my family and I. It took a few weeks for us to get comfortable in the house. We love the house now and I’m really happy that we moved.

So my life for a while consisted of moving, pledging, and school. I remember I couldn’t find the right balance. I felt like I was barely home. I felt like I didn’t spend put enough effort for pledging. I felt like I didn’t study enough or go to classes enough. Heck, I felt like I barely got any sleep. It sucked honestly, but that was my life for 2 months.

In March, I think, I almost wanted to quit pledging for many reasons, but the fraternity put us in their family line and I met some people that wanted to help me with the pledging process like my grand, big, G3. They gave me a reason to stay and I eventually got close to them.

I had mixed feelings about pledging for weeks honestly. I hated it, but I kind of liked it too. I felt like I didn’t really belong, but I felt like I was given a new family at the same time.

I felt like I was neglecting my family, friends, bf, and studies though. I tried my best to be home more and study more often. But it also made me feel like I was neglecting my pledging process. What were my priorities though? School and family of course, so that led me to what happened in April.

I remember in April, I got cut from the fraternity. 6 of us did. I was sad. I remember all of my pbros crying. It sucked. But we couldn’t do anything about it. I remember crying to Tim that night lol but I had a lot of free time after to save my grades. I remember going to their parties even though I got cut because I still liked the people in the fraternity, but mainly because I chose to be around them or else I would be sad.

I remember in May when I decided to readjust my life and my priorities. I remember wanting to spend more time with Tim, and my friends like Krista and Martin again. I hung out with them more. School ended- so I had a lot of time to.

In the end of May, my siblings and I decided to adopt a dog from an animal shelter!!! His name is Sky, and it was honestly one of the best decisions we made as a family.

I remember hanging out with my friends like Richa, Sandy, Amber, Wendy, Jae, Tim, and Merli. That summer, we basically bonded thru drinking, going to the gym together, We hungout A LOT that summer and I honestly loved it. I call them my family now. In the middle of summer, we also pretty much got Bryant to join the “family.”

That summer, I also took summer classes, volunteered at Artesia Christian. OH, I also joined a dragonboat team in CSULB. We were preparing for the Big Long Beach Race and Festival in July. We won 3rd place in Collegiate Division lol. Anyways, I joined that team mainly because I needed to clear my head from what happened in the fraternity. As I said, I needed to readjust my life and take different opportunities.

That summer was fun and productive for the most part. I remember going to San Diego with Tim. When I wasn’t volunteering, going to summer school, or going to practice, I just went out with my friends.

That summer, I did sort of neglect my friends from the fraternity and I didn’t talk to them anymore. That’s something that I wish to take back and change, but for a long time I didn’t know what to say to them or even explain why I never hung out with them anymore.. anyway. I just knew it couldn’t work out and they seemed like they were having fun without me anyway.

Things started to become better for me when summer started. I was happier and it stayed that way, even until now.

I know I talked about being sad a lot earlier in 2016 but things eventually turned around. A lot of memorable things happened too, especially summer and my second semester of school.

I met a lot of amazing people from my major and I got close to some of them through group projects. It made me like my major more because I had all of these people that I can relate with.

In September, I met Claire Marshall with Krista. I went to the beach a few times. I remember celebrating Amber’s birthday with the “fam.” In October, I watched my first concert ever (it was Kygo) with Martin and it was amazing. Some of my friends came out to celebrate my birthday at Cheesecake Factory and karaoke. I went to Dark Harbor with my friends. I went to Disneyland a lot since I had a pass. I hungout with my VSA family a lot. I was happier with my family because we have a new house and a new dog. My grades went up that second semester too. In November, I went to San Francisco with my Dragonboat Team. We went sightseeing and we had a race there. I also had my first Friendsgiving with the fam. In December, I went back to San Diego with Tim. I also had a job interview which led me to my job now.

my fave highlights: I definitely experienced new things- joining dragonboat, seeing Kygo and experiencing my first concert, volunteering, even pledging for a fraternity. I went to my first road trips; San Diego and San Francisco. I started learning more about makeup and I have a pretty big collection with my sister. I learned that short hair fits me better. I listened to more music, especially EDM. I improved in public speaking, took on more leadership roles in group projects. I got physically stronger (ok mainly my legs only) I went to Disneyland A LOT with different groups of people. I got closer to my family. I have a whole new love for my dog Sky LOL, I improved my relationship with Tim. I got closer to Richa, Sandy, Amber, Merli, Jae, Bvu, and Wendy. I went to more kickbacks and parties. Hungout with Kaylin, Christine, Brian, and Devon more. Had many more adventures with Martin.

so 2016 eventually took a turn. I’m a lot happier now. Even though I did lose friends and took some L’s, I also had some W’s I guess. I love the people in my life now and hopefully I get to meet more people that’ll be a part of my life in 2017. I have a lot of goals and new resolutions for 2017, but I also need to keep in mind the things that I learned in 2016 and use it in my everyday life. I still have a lot of growing as a person to do.
