In solidarity with Saturday’s nationwide End Family Separation protests, @riseandresistny planned and executed a non-violent banner drop and human banner action at the Statue of Liberty today.
Moments after the protest, a woman climbed the base of the Statue of Liberty and refused to come down until all the immigrant children detained by ICE were freed, sparking a nearly four-hour standoff with first responders before she was taken into custody. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-me…

Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who in 2016 met with Trump campaign officials in Trump Tower, was charged on Tuesday in a separate case that showed her close ties to the Kremlin. nyti.ms/2GYoFDS
Here's the indictment: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
This is what Veselnitskaya told me last year... (Twitter's such a weird place!)

A mobile phone traced to Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen briefly sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area in late summer 2016, leaving an electronic record to support claims that Cohen met secretly there with Russian officials. mcclatchydc.com/news/investiga…
My guess is that Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson was one of the sources for today's story.
Now if that's true, perhaps the headline should have been 'Fusion GPS doubles down on Steele dossier'. Which is ok, that would be news in and of itself, but since no other publications are confirming the reporting, I have to admit I'm really skeptical about the article. 🤔

Left: Antisemitic caricature from an English royal tax record in 1233.

Right: An image from a GOP mailer from this week.

This here is a thread. 1/x
First, link to the campaign mailer story: courant.com/politics/hc-po…
Second, some background. Yes, I've tweeted this before but everything old is still ongoing, I guess.

In the Middle Ages, Jews were barred from many trades and professions, and it was sometimes illegal for Jews to own land.

As always, @DLind's analysis is spot-on.

The EO is a vision statement: a view into the mass incarceration world the Trump administration wants to set up for families requesting asylum.

The thing is, it's got big problems. /1 #KeepFamiliesTogether vox.com/2018/6/20/1748…
First, it's a horrible, cruel vision. Detaining children causes lasting physical, mental and emotional harm. It fundamentally disrupts the parent-child relationship. It's just more state-sanctioned child abuse. /2
Second, the EO caveats the policy of jailing families together for the duration of proceedings (months? years?) in a way that it doesn't caveat the continued "zero tolerance" policy of prosecuting parents. So by its terms it doesn't even claim to end separation. /3

It seems that every minute we learn some new horrific detail about the conditions with which people are being held on our borders simply for trying to find a better life. Families are being ripped apart and held in what amounts to prisons and detention camps. #NY23 (1/)
Children with disabilities are being taken from their parents. Recordings are surfacing of children crying out for their parents and parents have no way to find their children. Last night we learned that babies and toddlers are being held in "tender age" shelters. #NY23 (2/)
Thousands of people have escaped poverty and violence to come to this country, only to find worse conditions than what they were fleeing. Let me be clear, the "Zero Tolerance Policy" must end now.

We are outraged, but we must turn that outrage into action. #NY23 (3/)

More than 2,000 kids have been taken from their parents at the border, with more taken daily and shipped to child "detention centers." While many have said they feel helpless in the face of this tragedy, you are not. There's a lot you can do. /2
Below are efforts identified by Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) under the leadership of Traci Feit Love, our President. I’m on the L4GG Board of Directors.

Go to familiesbelongtogether.org. Find a protest. If there’s not one near you, start one. And then spread the word like your nation’s soul depends on it.
Dozens of groups are helping organize/co-sponsoring June 30th FamiliesBelongTogether.org protests. Some:

If you have any way to get to DC on June 30 to fight for families, COME. The bigger the crowd, the more unignorable the message. On the Facebook event page for the march, 3000 already going, 19,000 interested. Share, RT, invite people. All hands on deck.
