There are people who don't plan to vote in November 😠

This may change their minds:

💥GOP plans to REWRITE US CONSTITUTION💥

THEY"RE VERY CLOSE TO DOING THIS AT A #ConventionOfStates/#ConstitutionalConvention

Listen to warning from Hillary Sept 2017👇
I wish I was exaggerating...I'm not

💥We ARE 6 STATE VOTES AWAY FROM REWRITE OF CONSTITUTION💥

28 of the 34 state votes have been obtained to hold a #ConventionOfStates

w/Republican trifectas in 26 states WE NEED EVERYONE AT POLLS


#NoConCon #FlipItBlue
For source info on first 4 changes (set out in image above) to US Constitution see #DemocracyInChains author, Nancy MacLean interview w/ @billmaher 👆

Source info for last two changes see here 👇This is one of hardest pushing #Koch backed astroturf grps

First they came forasylum seekers and their children, and I did not speak out....
Then they came for the American Latinos...

This is NOT a drill people!

Pretending it's not happening enables it to accelerate

Internment camps are set up...they're waiting...they've had a test run...there will be more...it will get worse

UNLESS More Americans STEP IT UP & MAKE IT STOP

America today is being governed by the minority because the majority is not consistently and collaboratively speaking up and speaking out. That has to change. Here’s my advice/rant to effect that change…
1/6
#resist #democracy #liberty #truth #justice #America #freedom
For all of us who care about our democracy & who cherish the freedom and liberty of being Americans, now is the time. Raise your voices. Contact your elected representatives at every level. Write letters, call in to radio programs, share on social media. VOTE. 2/6
To the Republicans who are concerned about the decline of our democracy: you must join your colleagues Ana Navarro, Steve Schmidt, & yes, George Will & speak out. Contact your party leaders and let them know this is not okay. Stand up for America and for American principles. 3/6

Hi everyone thank you for all your support and empathy in the past few days.
To minimize further injuries, the original voicemail with the intended subject's name has been removed, but I am reposting here with name obscured: soundcloud.com/user-251012259… (thanks for tech help!)
I am also reposting my entire Twitter message regarding this incident, with other important ideas I forgot to include:
four days ago my work phone got a rambling but confrontational 3.5 min voicemail from someone questioning my legitimacy to teach based on my presumed #citizenship and #ethnic identity. You can hear the actual message here: soundcloud.com/user-251012259…

Recap of debate in House of Lords y'day on Amendment 25 re: Irish #border in EU Withdrawal Bill #Brexit
HoL had tabled an amendment specifying no checks & controls of any sort. Pared-back version offered by govt in compromise was passed.
Only 1 dissenting voice @PeterHain
(1/7)
Lord Duncan said govt accepted thrust of amendment but made 3 changes to ensure it's 'fit for the statute book':
- to reflect fact W'drawal Agmt =btn UK & EU not IRL
- to refer to '98 NI Act re: N/S cooperation
- tighten wording (but said still inc. range of checks/controls)
2/7
5 Lords spoke. Lord Cormack welcomed ‘real meeting of minds’ in this instance. Lord Murphy reported from BIIPA ‘unanimous agmt that Brexit is dominating British-Irish rels’
& noted ‘there is no political voice from NI in the negotiations dealing with these important issues.’

My new book, Fascism: A Warning, is available for pre-order now and will be released on April 10.

I wrote this call to action because history has taught us that, when #Fascism looms, we have a duty to stand up and speak out. bit.ly/fascismbook
1/6
We should all be alarmed by the assault on democratic values that is dividing Americans at home and that has gathered strength in countries abroad (among them Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, and the Philippines). 2/6
To counter #Fascism, U.S. leadership is needed, but foreign autocrats today often justify their repression by pointing to the American president's own words. That is a disgrace. For democracy to survive, it must be defended. If lies are to stop, they must be exposed. 3/6

Follow this thread for highlights from the (sure to be remarkable) speech by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on the Trump administration’s Syria strategy:
"The nature of the Assad regime, like that of its sponsor Iran, is malignant. It has promoted state terror. It has empowered groups that kill American soldiers, such as al-Qaeda in Iraq"
"The story of Syria has been one of humanitarian catastrophe. Up to half a million Syrians have died. Over 5.4m Syrians are refugees, and 6.1m are internally displaced persons as a result of conflict between regime and opposition forces. Whole cities have been destroyed."

Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt wrote an article about fascism ("Fascism Anyone?," Free Inquiry, Spring 2003, page 20). Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto and Pinochet Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common./1 #Fascism
He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
The 14 characteristics are: /2 #Fascism #14CharacteristicsOfFascism
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. /3
