We’re just days away from dangerous ghost gun blueprints being shared freely online & the admin has taken NO ACTION to protect our communities. Proud to join @SenBlumenthal & @SenBillNelson in unveiling the Untraceable Firearms Act. This bill must pass before it’s too late.
Families, survivors and advocates have been speaking out from coast to coast. Read @Alyssa_Milano’s op-ed on why 3D printed gun blueprints must not be made widely available today: cnn.com/2018/07/30/opi…
Thank you to @Bradybuzz @Everytown @GiffordsCourage for fighting with us. We have two days, please RT and spread the word. We must #StopDownloadableGuns

Hard to believe Senate Republicans are trying again to vote on the nomination of Thomas Farr as a federal judge in NC. Farr's represented the NC legislature in not 1, not 2, but 3 challenges to the state’s 2011 congressional and legislative redistricting. Here’s how that went:
In 2016-17, Farr represented NC in Covington v. NC, a challenge to the state’s 2011 legislative redistricting alleging each of NC’s 19 state House districts & 9 state Senate districts constituted a racial gerrymander violating the Equal Protection Clause. brennancenter.org/legal-work/nor…
In Covington v. NC, Farr argued that race was not the primary factor used in the redistricting. And even if it was, Farr argued the NC legislature’s use of race was reasonably necessary to comply with the Voting Rights Act. The trial court rejected this argument.

RED ALERT: I'm announcing my strong opposition to Thomas Farr as a federal judge in North Carolina. @SenateGOP has set up a vote on his nomination after Thanksgiving.

Farr is a serious threat to voting rights. Americans need to tell Senate Republicans to block this nomination.
Farr defended the Republican-controlled North Carolina Legislature in a challenge to the restrictive voting laws it enacted shortly after the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts, gutted the Voting Rights Act.
After gathering data on the use of certain voting practices broken down by race, the North Carolina Legislature drafted a law that targeted voting practices like early voting and same-day registration that were disproportionately utilized by African-American voters.

The American people should look at what Republicans are doing, rather than what they’re saying, when it comes to health care.
Republicans are once again undermining protections for people with pre-existing conditions and sabotaging our health care system.
Today, the administration plainly admitted its intention is to use taxpayer dollars to fund junk insurance plans that don’t cover pre-existing conditions, which could lead to medical bankruptcy for many American families in order to pad the pockets of health insurance executives.

What Do Democrats Mean When They Say They Support Border Security? townhall.com/columnists/der…
As the government shutdown rolls into its third week, ask yourself one question: Do you miss it? Perhaps a better question is, “Have you noticed?”
Outside of the news coverage of it, or if you’re one of the more than 300,000 non-essential government employees on a delayed-pay vacation, odds are you haven’t.

1/ Off the top of my head?

Five things, really, but I may come back and add more, lol.

The media ecosystem is big enough that we've seen *some* coverage of these issues, but not nearly enough.
2/ The first is the connection between umbrella conservative orgs, which often market themselves as "free speech" or "anti-Marxism" groups, and literal neo-Nazis.

@LukeBarnes_92 did a fantastic job with this covering Resist Marxism. thinkprogress.org/resist-marxism…
3/ I've noted this on several occasions, but for example, see this thread. twitter.com/i/moments/1038…

THREAD: Until recently, I worked hard using whatever free time I had to document and share thousands of examples of violent hate speech found beneath Breitbart articles. Breitbart has used their influence to steer their audience toward hate in a consequence-free environment.
Here are several threads that I've put together over the past two years demonstrating the threats of violence and hate that I've found in Breitbart comments.

January 2018 - After reports of threats toward CNN
April 2018 - This Immigrants "taunting" Trump article resulted in hundreds of comments threatening violence.

1. We don't actually know if votes were altered or registrations affected by Russians in 2016. There has been no adequate investigation - partially because we don't have a comprehensive way to do so and partially because our gov is probably afraid to look in that dark corner.
2. We do know we were attacked in a sophisticated and multi-pronged military-level campaign. We know people were manipulated through social media and targeted ads, we know individuals and political campaigns were targeted. We also know they're doing it again.
3. The GRU has already inserted itself in Florida election systems - one of it's targets from 2016. Without adequate protection, they are positioned to attack the systems. The government must act...but, what can we do as voters in the face of all this?

It's time for the #Cin thread. #Days #DOOL
Let's start with Ciara mentioning to Julie that Tripp was making a romantic dinner for her. #Cin #Days
"Ciara, that's wonderful. So you're possibly going to be getting that pussy beaten up tonight? Are you sure you're ready for that? You were raped two years ago. I know that pain and so do a shit ton of women on this show." #Cin #Days

1/ THREAD: A brief #LGBTHistory for this #Pride. Really FEEL THIS. Prior to the 1970s, being LGBT was ILLEGAL & homosexuality was considered a mental illness. Police would conduct a raid, arrest you, cuff you, humiliate you, then publish your name, address & photo in the paper.
2/ After your name, address & mugshot appeared in your local paper, you’d then be fired from your job. There were no legal protections--which is still true in 28 of 50 states today, but back then it was a near certainty.
3/ And then at Compton’s, at Stonewall, our LGBT forebears fought back. They said “No more" to these police raids on their communities. Along with Vietnam objectors, civil rights activists and feminists, they protested. They were targets. It was dangerous.
