So this happened a week ago & itā€™s getting zero attentionā€”
The 3rd annual hackers convention @defcon @VotingVillageDC

The vulnerabilities found on easily hacked voting machines were astronomical & alarming.

Resultā€”Congress must mandate US election security.

Letā€™s unwrap thisā€¦
2017 was the first year hackers were given free reign to try to hack US voting equipment of all types.

In 2017, Hackers @defcon @VotingVillageDC were able to hack all machines used in the 2016, in as little as 90 minutes.

In 2017, they found a CF card in a surplussed Diebold electronic voting machine (EVM) with active voter rolls from the 2008 election in a SQLite database, plain text.

Folksā€¦this is an alarming example of how secure stateā€™s voting records are:

1. Remarkable Fox pollšŸ‘‡

47% Americans favor impeachment or impeachment and removal
45% oppose impeachment

Plus what Sidney Blumenthal calls "Pelosi effect":

"Many of the Democrats would shift their view if Pelosi and the party unified in favor of an impeachment inquiry."
...
2. Even more Americans likely support #ImpeachmentInquiryNow

A Quinnipiac June poll asked if support Congress investigating to determine whether to bring impeachment charges. Showed even more Americans support investigation now than ready to support impeachment.

The House of Representatives is scheduled to adjourn tomorrow for six full weeks, leaving Washington until September 9.

Cummings told us to #PayAttention. Itā€™s important enough that they wonā€™t #CancelRecess; not even ONE DAY.

#Mueller's already dealt fatal blows to Trump & GOP propagandists. He said 1) he didnā€™t indict b/c of OLC memo, 2) "no collusion no obstruction, total exoneration" is false, & 3) he won't address "origins" of the probe or Steele dossier b/c theyā€™re under review. #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary šŸ¤ÆšŸ™„A Republican Sensenbrenner actually asked #Mueller this question: If you knew from the outset that your office wasn't going to indict the president (b/c OLC guideline prevented it), why even investigate him?
#MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing
@RepJerryNadler @HouseJudiciary #Mueller is calm but not exactly poker-faced. He just gave a disgusted sneer at crazy Louis Gohmert shouting that Trump "wasn't obstructing justice, he was pursuing justice because he's INNOCENT"! Even the gallery laughed. #MuellerHearings #MuellerHearing

#Resistance family: I pretty much dropped off of twitter for a couple weeks, dealing with personal shit and trying to check my rage and restlessness with the status quo. And, of course, everything is worse now, and in a couple more weeks, it will be even more worse. 1/
I'm tired. Of the fact that this Administration continues to defile our country with impunity. Tired of racists (becoming more emboldened by the day). Tired of cops getting away with (literally) murder. Tired of human beings being locked in cages like animals. 2/
I'm tired of the fact that brown Americans are made to feel as though they're not Americans (even those born here). It makes me tired that, as each day brings us closer to school starting, my stomach ties into knots, thinking about what could happen to my children there, 3/

@BreeNewsome Bree, PREACH! AMEN!

Courageous Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism as practiced & defended by those like David Cay Johnston (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cayā€¦) should be the MINIMUM standard for American Journalists & News Consumers.

We have a looong way to go.

@BreeNewsome Tragically, Millions deny the fact that Trump has long practiced Racism AND continues to be šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø's #RacistInChief.

This GasLighting Denial on both sides of the Atlantic is DEEPLY Troubling.

Question: what too-high percentage of Social Media Platforms are used for Gaslighting?

THREAD:
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?"

Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response:
(2)
"A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility,
no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.

So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trumpā€™s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable,

1-All of Trump's evident grandstanding re Iran & the provocation of the situation by Pompeo/Bolton has me thinking @ what caused Mattis to resign. Here's a bit from Michael Wolff's book, "Siege, Trump Under Fire" pertaining to that situation. #SaturdayThoughts
2-pg 290. 'Siege, Trump Under Fire': On December 19...the president made two fateful decisions. Early that morning-without preparation or consultation, & bypassing the standard military & interagency review process-Trump sent out a tweet proclaiming that "[w]e have defeated ISIS
3-"in Syria," & then announced that he was withdrawing all US troops from that country. The military, diplomatic, & intelligence communities had long ago concluded that Trump's views about foreign policy gyrated peculiarly, & dangerously, on the basis of impulses & mood swings.

Pelosi made it CLEAR yesterday that she will not consider Impeachment proceedings of any kind w/o GOP support. CALL Congress today, even if you already have & tell them this is NOT ok. Only takes a minute. #FridayFeeling #ImpeachmentInquiryNow politico.com/story/2019/06/ā€¦
2-"Yet even as some of her closest allies shift to backing an impeachment inquiry, Pelosi still refuses to consider the idea without Republican support. She told reporters on Wednesday that support for launching impeachment proceedings would have to ā€œrun deepā€ for her to change

Democratic Excuses for Avoiding Impeachment, Debunked. Based on @peterdaou's "There Are No Good Arguments Against Impeachment"

šŸ˜©"The Senate wonā€™t convict so thereā€™s no point..."

šŸ’ Then why do House Democrats continue passing bills that fail in Senate? It's not the Democrats' job to base a failure to impeach on predictions, it's their job to defend our Constitution & rule of law.
ā¬‡
šŸ˜©"Democrats need to gather more evidence to make an airtight case for impeachment. "

šŸ’ Hogwash. Hooey.

Trump has produced a veritable superstore - a Walmart of impeachable offenses to pick from with tons of publicly available evidence alone.

šŸ‘ This is what democracy looks like. Democratic leadership worries their message will get lost if the country focuses on Trumpā€™s corruption. Yet telling us all to ignore the elephant in the living room will become their message if they do not begin an impeachment inquiry now.
