Of course I downloaded a backup of that account, but it has taken until today to do anything with it. But now I have! It is hosted on the RC2014 website as a standalone archive with no links back to Twitter.
So, if you want to see how I went from idea, to groundwork, to woodwork, to getting a weatherproof box over the first 6 months or so, take a look at rc2014.co.uk/twitterbackup/rc2… (You might want to select Browse and then Oldest First. I can't see how to link to that or make it a default)

#Marines were seen standing guard outside a federal building in #LosAngeles on Friday as they started operations after #protests erupted last week over #immigration raids.
Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 who is overseeing the 4,700 troops deployed by #Trump, said the Marines finished [2 days of] training on civil disturbance & are starting their operations by replacing #NationalGuard #troops.

The #NationalGuard soldiers can then be assigned to protect more law enforcement agents on raids, Sherman said. About 200 #Marines out of the 700 deployed to the #protests are in the city, Sherman said. They have all undergone civil disturbance training [for 2 freaking days].
[all despite the fact that Judge Breyer rule the action illegal & #unconstitutional. While the appeals court paused Breyer’s order, it has not yet ruled on the legality of #Trump’s deployment of #troops on US soil.]
