1/ 🧵 Ron #DeSantis' twitter trolling press secretary #ChristinaPushaw is forced to register as a Foreign Agent after a visit from @TheJusticeDept, but there is sooo much more to this story than meets the eye, Florida. 👀

2) #Zarif's Ministry,#Iran's Intel. Min(MOIS)&Quds Force are responsible for many #Terrorist attacks on #EU soil, including the one by a so-called diplomat,#Assadi, in which he was arrested &sentenced to 20yrs in prison for plotting to bomb #FreeIran rally in June 2018 in #Paris
3)#EU claims to be more concerned about #HumanRightsViolations after adopting #MagnitskyAct. How does @eu_eeas justify HR/VP's presence in a meeting with #Zarif,while @amnesty reports right abuses continue in #Iran?

💥NEW: US Sanctions Serious Human Rights Abusers in Russia, including Chechnya's Ramzan Kadyrov & paramilitary Kadyrovtsy, implicated in the assassination of Boris Nemtsov & killings, abductions of LGBT activists & journalists home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel… #HumanRightsDay #MagnitskyAct
Today's new US #MagnitskyAct #sanctions on Kadyrov & paramilitary Kadyrovtsy also designate 6 companies registered in #Russia that "continue to provide Kadyrov pride and significant profit" and 5 individuals prominent in Kadyrov's network. #HumanRights #HumanRightsDay
So hard to read this as Trump+GOP damage democracy & society: "Human rights abuse & corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, & functioning societies…weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts"

If proposed #MagnitskyAct passes German #Bundestag, it will trigger a sea change in #Germany-#Russia relations. It essentially forces Germany to levy #sanctions on Russia for #HumanRights violations. Drys up lots of oligarch finance. #Navalny #NATO #DeutscheBank #TrumpPutin
Russia has been bankrolling a chunk of the #NeoFascist political fringe in #EasternEurope as a way to destabilize #NATO and the #EU. Will a #German #MagnitskyAct clean up some of the money laundering that allows it to occur? Dunno.
To think that a few determined people, upset about the murder of #Russian lawyer #Magnitsky for his work uncovering corruption, were able to create the #MagnitskyAct, which is now changing the world! Does that sound like a famous quote you remember?
🚨 I've decided to put together a THREAD of prominent voices for #HongKong from around the word. Start with U.S. politicians. Note how @RepGregSteube is saying (as I read it) the newly-revealed #HK #NationalSecurityLaw will "threaten democracy around the world." 👇👇👇
[2/n] @HawleyMO: "Question now is whether Beijing will use this as a pretext to jail pro-democracy leaders."
[3/n] @RepJimBanks highlights how the #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw "prohibits 'collusion' w/ foreign govs or institutions, which could target those who've lobbied the U.S. Congress for sanctions."
Trump has already done Putin's wish list: weakening NATO and attacking US allies, supporting nationalist anti-EU & Brexit movements, dividing the people & undermining 🇺🇸 democracy, free press & rule of law, and denying climate crisis & leaving the Paris Agreement.

2/ Profound changes swept across the city throughout the anti-extradition movement. With reference to #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct & #MagnitskyAct, we call on various nations for more protective measures and sanctions against human rights abuser in Hong Kong.
3/ The city is under the creeping threat from China on the heels of four months of protests. Days ago President Xi vowed to shatter the protests. Our autonomy and cause for democracy are at stake. That's why HKers have been standing tall in our battles for freedoms.
We are hosting Olsi Jazexhi, @parlabest Rukiye Turdush and @cburton001 Charles Burton to speak about Canada's response to China's #Uyghur crisis.
@parlabest speaks about the plight of the Uyghurs and the grave human rights violations being committed by Chinese authorities. #Uyghur #Uighur
Chinese authorities say U.S. power is in decline and assume that they can persecute the Uyghurs without consequences. There is ample evidence of human rights violations. Internment camps, forces disappearances, eye witness accounts

2.) Since conceding in the Primary in #Election2016...He was oddly silent during the flux of Democratic alarm ringers at the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, All but invisible during the #WhereAreTheChildren scandal letting other Senators like @SenJeffMerkley take the lead. His silence
3.) Regarding the #TrumpRussia Conspiracy has been deafening while on the reverse side, the words he has spoken in regards to #TrumpRussia , #Russians which were expressed in the way of his vote against the #MagnitskyAct & Against Sanctioning Iran & Russia. And now consider all

Hey, remember this #CA48 constituents? Here's Dana Rohrbacher meeting w/the anti- #MagnitskyAct filmmaker, and a man that is a corp espionage professional, who also met w/Donald Trump Jr on 6/9/16.

@ThomasS4217 1/ This <thread> provides a timeline for what appears to be a coordinated effort by the current WH to expand pool of children available for transnational adoptions, which began at the State dept.'s Consular Affairs office on Jan 27, 2017, and by DHS on Feb 2, 2017

@ThomasS4217 2/ Fueled by evangelical fervor for transnational adoptions (receipts downthread: indebted to @rkfatherlee), current WH Adm.'s goal is to remove detained minors from federal jurisdiction (HHS/ACF/ORR/UAC) as quickly as possible by transferring detained children to 1 of 17 states
@ThomasS4217 3/ Once detained children enter a state's foster care system, they are no longer the responsibility of the federal gov't (HHS/ACF/ORR/UAC), but instead those children's welfare is the responsibility of that particular state.
