There will be no update today.
At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech.
They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint.
They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..
Got new info tonight.
The judge who signed the search order of my house was appointed by Governor Desantis and sworn in less than a month before he signed that warrant. In civil court. He's not even a criminal court judge. It was one of his first actions as judge.
If Desantis thought pointing a gun in my face was a good way to get me to shut up, he's about to learn just how wrong he was.
I'll have a new computer tomorrow.
And then I'm going to get back to work.
If you want to help, my website is still at
My family is not safe. My son has been taken on the gov's orders, and I've had to send my husband and daughter out of state for their safety.
THIS is the reality of living in DeSantis' Florida.
There is no freedom here. Only retaliatory rule by a fascist who wishes to be king
This is what happens to scientists who do their job honestly.
This is what happens to people who speak truth to power.
I tell them my husband and my two children are upstairs... and THEN one of them draws his gun.
On my children.
This is Desantis' Florida.

They took my phone and the computer I use every day to post the case numbers in Florida, and school cases for the entire country.
They took evidence of corruption at the state level.
They claimed it was about a security breach.
This was DeSantis.
He sent the gestapo.
Tabitha Smith was arrested for getting into an argument following a disturbance call. For raising her voice and pissing off a rookie deputy, she was arrested, handcuffed, and put in the back of a squad car.
The deputy was texting his wife while driving to brag about arresting

2. Imagine if the camera wasn't recording
3. Imagine if I weren't white.
4. Imagine this were you. Because one day, it might be.
5. Turn rage into action. RT.
6. I'll be back at work tomorrow.
BREAKING: FDLE found no evidence of a message sent last Nov. to DOH staff telling them to 'speak out' on any of the devices they took - the entire basis for the raid on my home in Dec. The warrant was based on a lie. We argued this in court just last week. This should be victory.
WE DID IT!!!
THEY'VE REVERSED THE DECISION TO IMPLEMENT DESANTIS' MANDATORY PERIOD REPORTING RULE FOR HS GIRLS!!!
THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR PROTECTING OUR GIRLS!!!!
The Florida High School Athletic Association will make their decision about changing a policy to require girls to report menstraul cycles during their Feb 26 meeting.

DeSantis tried to destroy my reputation, undermine my credentials and work, intimidate me by ordering an armed raid on my home, silence me by jailing me, and threaten me with prison for refusing to drop my whistleblower case. He failed every time.
It's been three weeks since we
0regon spends $109 per day to house someone in jail, or $3,379 per month.
The average studio apartment in Oregon costs $980 per month.
If you support jailing people over providing housing, you're not only an evil person, you're an idiot.
All I have to say about the
@RepMattGaetz
piece coming out in the next few days is this:
You shouldn't have gone after my kid, you pervey creep.
Tick tock, asshole
BREAKING:
Two staffers in Matt Gaetz' office say they have evidence that the sex trafficking allegations are true, and that the disgraced congressman's behavior is much worse than publicly known.
This comes as Gaetz makes moves to run for governor.
More to come..
!!!BREAKING!!!
Matt Gaetz is believed to be having an affair with his press secretary, Joel Valdez, according to three independent sources.
Gaetz' office and his wife have not responded to requests for comment.
This is not Gaetz' first affair, nor is it his first w/a man.
Does anyone else feel like tonight is actually new year's eve for 2021?
I have a perfect view of the Florida capital from where I'm stuck in isolation.
We take back America tomorrow.
Florida next.
BREAKING 🧵
There's a reason
@GovRonDeSantis
avoids talking abt certain periods of his life, like the death of sister, living in sex trafficker Kent Stermon's apt, and... his brief stint in the US Attorneys office for the middle district of Florida.
So I started looking...
Florida contact tracers still haven't contacted me, even though I tested positive at the jail Sunday.
Maryland contact tracers contacted my husband within an hour of getting our daughter tested, even with results pending.
Florida fails us all every day.
It's taking forever to get my new computers set up, and I'm working on answering EVERYONE as soon as I can. Pls be patient.
And thank you to everyone for the support and love.
I continue to be amazed not by the depravity of our leaders, but by the strength of our community.
It's hard to watch the Alabama boat fight video, in which seven white men attack an unarmed, black security guard for telling them to move their boat from blocking the dock, and not feel thankful that the community rushed to his aid and made sure justice was swift and brutal.
Two weeks later, bringing us to earlier today, an officer told me the state issued a warrant for my son's arrest for "digital threats of terrorism."
I asked on whose orders. The officer said it was the state.
They aren't letting him come home tonight. They kidnapped my son.
I had to get my husband and daughter out of here because CPS now interprets my home as dangerous because they've charged my 13 year old son with a felony for sharing a meme.
Less than a week after filing the first lawsuit in America against a state's Covid lies
Once I'm lucid again, remind me to thank everyone for their amazing support.
COVID is not a joke. I've never been so sick in my life. I'm isolating until I can go back home to my family.
Please take care of yourselves, your health, and each other.
Justice will prevail.
Welcome to my Twitter timeline.
I'm Rebekah - the Florida scientist and whistleblower who exposed fraud in COVID 19 reporting.
DeSantis' cyber gang tried very hard to silence me on this platform. They succeeded for 18 months.
This is the story that got my banned. So if you
They said they had to complete a threat assessment since they received an anon complaint, which both the local cops and the school signed off on as not being a threat. The kids were joking about cops and video games, which included this meme:

I've spoken to 13 current and former
@RepMattGaetz
staffers, three close friends, a relative, two ex lovers, a bartender from his favorite bar, two former stylists, a desk clerk at a hotel he frequents, and two things stand out with every one of those conversions:
I'm sorry for not getting back to everyone who is frantically calling and messaging me. I'm trying to keep it together and stay here and fight for my kid.
This state has already gotten away with pointing guns at my son during their raid. I will not let them hurt him again.

Calling me a "Fired data analyst" is offensive. I was not "an analyst," I was manager of data and surveillance. I ran the entire thing. And Snowden isn't called the "Fired security analyst," he's "former NSA blah blah blah. " It diminishes my role and ignores all I've done since
I've been in contact with members of the press whom I trust. They have the videos of the police at my house, of my son being put in handcuffs, of the officer refusing to let us give him his medication, of my 13 year old autistic kid who can't stand to be touched having to spread
A week after we filed our lawsuit against the state, a kid claiming to be the cousin of one of my son's classmates joined their snapchat group. They recorded their conversations, and anonymously reported my son to police for sharing a popular internet meme.
BREAKING:

victims that despite the evidence and testimony, they will not be prosecuting Gaetz for sex trafficking at this time.
The other charges/investigations remain open, and the

A good first step toward justice for those who suffered or died because of him
The recently-passed Florida death penalty law for rape (ruled unconstitutional by Kennedy vs Louisiana, 2008) included two clauses to specifically protect known Florida GOP pedophiles:
1. Rape must be of a child under age 12 (protects Gaetz and a bunch of others)
2. Rape must be
Tomorrow marks two weeks since an Oklahoma teen was beaten to death in a high school bathroom.
No arrests. No apparent urgency in the local law enforcement's response.
A child was viciously beaten to death by thier peers and no one is in jail.
Guess what?
Andrew Gillum was found not guilty today.
Enrique Tarrio was found guilty today.
Tarrio was the one who helped drug Gillum, then took photos of him nude and posted them on the internet so no one would keep asking about that suspicious DeSantis 2018 "win."
😁🥂
BREAKING:
Ron DeSantis waited until the media was fully consumed with Trump’s indictment to make a move to repeal Florida’s resign-to-run law, which prevents current public officials from seeking other offices while serving in their current office.
UPDATE:
Source in Matt Gaetz' office says office is in "upheaval," they expect the FBI to raid the office "any day now," and have photos of Gaetz making out with young men.
Gaetz has prev. been in open relationships with men.
Still need photo expert to authenticate photos.
Florida wants to ban young girls from talking about their periods in school.
Idaho blocked tampons in high schools.
So far, 24 states have enacted or are considering invasive and discrimatory pregnancy laws and choice-bans post- Dobbs.
It sounds like the GOP hates little

"School choice" is code for re-segregation.
Parents who want to send their kids to religious and mostly-white schools steal from tax payers to subsidize their bigotry.
No public funding for non-public schools.
#WeWontGoBack
I want my daughter to read the works of Malcolm X, learn about Roberto Clemente, and know the real history of this country, ugly parts and all.
I want my children to grow up and go to schools in a state that respects history and intellectualism.
Florida is not that place.
My son is still in the hospital, and I'm just coming out of five days of a really bad flu.
The comments on my post about him being hospitalized were so vile that I had to turn off comments.
You have to CHOOSE to be the type of person who enjoys the suffering of kids.
1. Every single one of them personally observed proof of sex trafficking, illicit drug use, underage drinking/partying, affairs and/or financial crimes.
2. Out of 23 sources with this information, only one says the

Or, ya know... don't leave. Cause some of that will kill you before you can reach a state with better healthcare.
Malaria:
If you're trying to reach me, I had to change my cell number. Police released that information to the public.
Also, Desantis admitted on video today to knowing about the investigation and raid on my house.
The agent told my lawyer there would be only one charge, but emphasized that speaking out or going to the media may result in police "stacking" additional charges. All of this just to silence a critic of a governor who failed to do his job and got thousands killed as a result.
They lied about guns being pointed at my kids during the raid (there's video).
They lied about my son being taken, put in handcuffs and denied medication (there's video).
They hid that multiple accounts posted messages when leaking reports (there are receipts).
They hid that

Police knocked on the wrong door in the middle of the night at the Mississippi home of Ismael Lopez.
When he opened the door, his dog ran out.
They shot and killed it.
He was holding a rifle. They told him to put it down.
He turned around to put it down and they shot him

@RepMattGaetz
hitting the panic button for PR/damage control is probably because someone told him what another someone told me.
No amount of MSNBC with Ari, NYTimes opeds, or MTG rage tweets will be able to save him from this one.
And he knows it.
Tick tock motherfucker.
So WHY do these convicted sex offenders keep popping up in DeSantis' circle so many years later.

At about 4 pm ET yesterday, one of your guests (John) suggested that the UNLV shooter might be a Muslim person angry over the situation in Gaza.
There was no evidence to suggest that. No sources. Nothing.
The shooter was a 67-year-old white man angry about not
A snowflake coward sent a letter to my house today calling me a "white nigger trailer trash asshole." He says he has brains. No signature, no return address.
So a snowflake coward.
Today's events will tell a story so enraging, heartbreaking and brutal that I'm sure when I'm ready to tell it, no one will ever defend the Florida governor's actions again.
Biden is right. Everything he's said is correct.
Trump hasn't said a single true thing yet.
But this is bad. There are going to be a lot of calls about getting Biden to step aside tonight.
Democrats can't pretend this isn't bad.
CNN not fact checking is fucking shameful.
Just three days ago, Nex Benedict's story was mostly unknown. There was no investigation even started.
Then we raised hell across the social media landscape.
Today, police are now investigating Nex's death as murder and the Vice President is calling for action in their name.
A potential condition of my release may be no access to computers, internet or electronic devices. Bogus charges designed to silence and now jail me for being a scientist critical of the government. That's the textbook definition of

HOLY SHIT DOH STILL HASN'T COUNTED ME IN THER COVID STATS!! THIS IS MADDNEESSSSS.
I TESTED POSITIVE IN FLORIDA ON 1/17. EVENT DATE OF 1/15. I DO NOT EXIST IN THEIR RECORDS!
I plan on unabashedly diving into how organized religion was used to abuse children in the small town in South Mississippi where I grew up, and how those same ideals took hold of this country and led to the fanatics who walk the halls of congress getting elected (*coughMGcough)
Bodycam footage released by police shows they waited about 13 minutes outside while I got dressed, and were ready to break my door down with a sledgehammer. At 13:48, an officer is shown pointing a gun at my face. They thought this would... help them?
It took six years -- SIX YEARS -- to escape my abusive ex from college. But as of yesterday, all his efforts to force himself into my life are over.
A thread...
Six years ago, a classmate of mine at FSU tracked me down at work and sexually assaulted me in my office.
@elonmusk
You're describing YOU. How do you not realize it? Has there ever been a person so painfully, publicly un-selfaware that you cannot see that all your regurgitating of quotes from better men abt the evils of unearned wealth and power are perfectly describing your exact existence..
I'll only post this once.
THIS is the story that I got banned from sharing more than 1.5 yrs ago.
THIS is the story Ron DeSantis does NOT want you to read.
So definitely do not share this. It will make him really, really, really mad.
Let's stay focused on what really matters right now: the pandemic.
The state would rather distract you with what they did to me, than have you look at what's going on with this virus. They'll drag this out as long as they can.
Get the data. That's all that matters.
To protect my family from continued police violence, and to show that I'm ready to fight whatever they throw at me, I'm turning myself into police in Florida Sunday night. The Governor will not win his war on science and free speech. He will not silence those who speak out.
