All right, this #blackandwhitechallenge thing. Thanks @Adam_E_Jackson, I'm vain enough to take it on, and not feeling cruel enough to tag anyone else.
Day 2 #blackandwhitechallenge (by the way all photos were taken by me, not sure if that's part of the deal or not, as I said I'm vain...)
Day 3 #blackandwhitechallenge, a summer Sunday so this one is rather self-explanatory, yet sticks to the no humans and no explanations rule...

As forecast the UK Government has committed to following a significant part of single market rules after Brexit as part of the backstop and commitments to Northern Ireland (doc - assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…)
Although the Government paper says this will be "only a small fraction of EU rules", in fact there are nearly 70 pages of the Withdrawal Agreement simply listing the regulations Northern Ireland will have to follow under the backstop (example page below)
In case you are missing the significance, the UK Government has confirmed that the whole country will follow EEA / single market disciplines without any representation until a new deal can be agreed.

Brexit is testing Parliamentary procedure. The Government does not command a majority.

Might as well break protocol further, it is time for a Parliamentary committee to take control of the Brexit process.
Yes, I can think of many reasons why this won't work, but nothing that would work better. We're going to be stuck in Parliamentary bickering for weeks unless something new is done.
See also this Guardian proposal as championed by @stellacreasy among others for a Brexit citizens assembly. We have to break out of where we are and not perpetuate divisionism theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

With the Brexit debate returning to Parliament today, let's go back to basics and explore the facts, key issues, and questions that should be raised in the coming days. Thread... 1/
Most important point, which cannot be emphasised enough - the Withdrawal Agreement is primarily concerned with the terms of the divorce, e.g. financial, citizenship, and not the future (though the Irish backstop complicates this) 2/
Thus any statement a Minister makes about the future relationship being secured (such as that below from the Gov's 40 reasons to back the Brexit deal) is false. The political declaration setting out the future relationship is not binding. 3/

You don’t need a church or religion to be saved. Church and religion are fine. Just dont worship them. I use the ✝️ as a symbol of light. To brighten ones day. I worship nothing man made. You need no gate keeper from the lord. I disrespect no religion.

God Loves you.
Q is not call Catholics or the Apostles creed evil. On the contrary. @realDonaldTrump is respecting it by not joining there lies. Its wrong to worship falsely. In my 👁 Trump is worshiping the Lord there and not what they are doing. #VAIN

Thanks, Barbara.

I wrote that thread because so many people were looking at things Trump was doing, and saying "this isn't America!"

In fact, fascism has deep roots here, and never went away after WWII (now that obvious, right?)

I'm in D.C. this week, talking about. . .
. . . my book on Andrew Jackson, which taught me a lot about Trump.

The comparisons between Trump and Jackson, however, are not fair—to Jackson. Jackson was an authoritarian and a strong believer in white supremacy. He believed America was for white men

But. . .
. . . there are things Jackson would have never done. Like take help from a foreign government, or put foreign interests above American interests.

If any MAGA people jump in and argue, consider this. . .

Here's the thread Barbara was talking about 👇

Why does Twitter deliberately target Right-wing accounts for Shadow-banning and why it will sooner rather than later completely back-fire and why they are ultimately going to destroy the Left and what a great day that will be. Thread. 1/15
It is no surprise Twitter targets accounts for “wrong think” or as we on the #Right like to call it “free-think” this is because of two events which are now totally and utterly inextricably linked, #Brexit and #Trump and the Establishment have been rocked to the core. 2/15
Neither of which were supposed to happen & yet they did now the Establishment is determined never to allow it to happen again or even at all, the reason for them happening was nothing to do with social media, but was to do with people knocking on doors and persuading others. 3/15

My Dad was shot & killed in 1991. His life was stolen. It left me parentless at the age of 19. I've been volunteering w/ @MomsDemand since its inception 5 yrs ago. This work is grueling, but I (like so many others) are compelled...
...to do this work because I simply have no choice. Sitting on the sidelines is not an option. The person who murdered my Dad will be released from prison in 1 1/2 years -- and could buy a gun w/o a bg check in a private sale....
...bg checks are not required in Missouri (where I live) --- or federally because Rs thwarted the Manchin-Toomey bg check bill after Sandy Hook. When they closed the door on us, we took this battle to the states....

On 2/26/18, @mayflower_gal & I approached our school administration with a proposal, calling for our school to participate in a walkout; asking students to stand up and help speak out against gun violence. We were not alone; 6 other students also made a plan to walkout.
Admin met with all of us. Our original plans, while in need of further work, accounted for the variety of perspectives and opinions existing in our community while still emphasizing the point of the national movement #Enough.
During a series of meetings with admin, however, the students who were the most passionate were pushed to the side while the representatives of student council took control and twisted the original intent of our plan.

Right now, I'm feeling more terrified than at any point since the 2016 election. Why? It's time for some game theory! 1/
Start with a clear-eyed assessment of Trump's character: he basically has negative empathy -- that is, enjoys seeing others hurt 2/
Normally, however, one would expect him to pretend to care and maybe even do some good things out of ambition and self-aggrandizement 3/
