On Sunday, we locked arms with other activists from around the world at a mass demonstration organized to ​counter the summit between Presidents Trump and Putin with a message of democracy, human rights, and peace. #HelsinkiCalling
We joined Natalia Kaplan, the cousin of Oleg Sentsov—now on day 65 of a hunger strike in a Russian penal camp—to call for the release of all political prisoners held in Russia.
Putin gets the message: We were front and center among the crowd demanding that Putin #FreeSentsov as he passed by on his way to the meeting with Trump.

From Crazy Rich Asians to Cherry, our #FridayReads:
.@jafreenmu is re-reading Tahmina Anam (@tahmima)’s novel The Bones of Grace, “a story that draws you in so deeply into the world of its characters, I'm as captivated the second time around as I was when first reading it!”
.@MLRStrategy is reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, “a light beach read that’s been perfect for summer; a love story spanning socioeconomic and class divides that plays out amongst the uber-wealth of Singaporean high society. Will see the movie next!”

*Thread* so this “girl” Ashley came onto OUR threads and bullied @Gladiatrix2017 and @RogueMockingjay for defending me. Then, she has the audacity to mock them when they shared the truth about what I’m going through. THEN, she started mocking them and me on her twitter account.
Then she tried to sully our #TeamAvocado family hashtag with “Team truth” whatever the hell that means. We never said she was part of our family - we don’t even know her🙄😒 She came on OUR threads, sought US out, to bad mouth me. Can you say paid troll? I can. Guess what?
I have been willingly working with the #SpecialCounsel for months now. I am NOT #RogerStone - in fact, after what he has done to our family, I HATE that man with a passion. I’m not loyal to him or #DonaldTrump. #Trump wants me dead. So does the #CIA.

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡

2.#Finkelstein was very involved in #Trump´s campaign in 2016, but is hardly mentioned in the press, why?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
