Thread: Wisconsin voting today on completely brazen lame duck coup to strip power from Dem gov/AG & make it harder to vote

Here are all the ways Wisconsin GOP have gutted democracy under Scott Walker

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Wisconsin’s voter ID law disenfranchised up to 23,000 voters in 2 of state’s most Democratic counties in 2016. Trump won WI by 22,000 votes. Black voters 3x as likely as whites to be deterred from voting by law

Wisconsin GOP planning to cut early voting in lame duck session

Last time they cut early voting in 2014 court said it was done to “suppress the reliably Democratic vote of Milwaukee’s African Americans”

I watched this with tears in my eyes. I am exhausted from today. I hope I don’t need to explain the plethora of antisemitic tropes & conspiracy theories veiled in euphemism here. I don’t even have the energy for anger anymore, I’m just so deeply sad and tired.
The bit that makes my insides go cold is the cheers and applause in the room, the cheers for that horrifyingly antisemitic Al Jazeera “documentary”, the cheers for her attacking the fears of the Jewish community. This is so dangerous.
It’s one thing reading these things written, but it’s another thing to hear the tone of their voice when they speak about us, the rapturous applause & self-satisfied cheering. Reading it I might have rolled my eyes - watching it and hearing it, I feel terrified

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Today will be trumpeted as a decisive next step, as we take another firm step to the EU door.

We have arrived here in a way by stealth. By triggering Article 50 before we had any idea of the future shape. By trying to hide impact assessments or behind banalities. /1
We arrived here by trumpeting red, white & blue, by setting impossible red lines.

We only reached here by quietly caving in on almost all of them.

And by setting a precedent that makes us likely to keep caving as we move to third party status before we know any more. /2
We arrived here by creating a snowstorm of distraction & by preventing an open, detailed & rational debate about what the future would look like, on the multiple levels of our collective lives.

We arrived here by crying betrayal every time someone stepped behind the bunting. /3

Happy Saturday, family. A notice that tomorrow’s #MusicSermon will be EARLY, due to the Grammy’s.
I’ll give ya’ll an estimated time later. Please govern yourselves accordingly.
Amen. ⛪️
Happy Sunday ya’ll! As I mentioned yesterday, we’re doing an EARLY service today in observation of the Grammy’s. Doors of the church will open around 4. ⛪️
Be with ya’ll in a few. In the middle of my *own* Grammy prep 😬
I’ll be settled in a bit.

Today is such a full circle moment.
I moved to LA in '09 to pursue acting. I made a deal with my parents that if I was not reoccurring on a show by college, I'd go to college.
Numerous bookings over the next couple of years...and then
