Well this is curious. Apparently @FAIRImmigration believes I am a paid operative of "state-owned propaganda outlet" @ajplus to meddle in 2018 midterm elections.

Why? For this video I did calling FAIR out as driven by white nationalism:

I'm paid? News to my wallet; I thought I was just doing a public service.

Here's FAIR's press release:

prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
They accuse me of "spreading malicious disinformation in what is a clear attempt to influence the upcoming midterm election." I'm flattered they think so highly of me.

Entirely different, of course, from FAIR's statements influencing lawmakers here:

fairus.org/press-releases…
They accuse me of attempting to stoke racial and ethnic tensions through false and inflammatory rhetoric.

Not like FAIR, of course:

lifezette.com/2018/08/youre-…
If I'm an operative of the Qatari government, I guess FAIR President Dan Stein is an operative of Australian @RupertMurdoch when he appears on @FoxNews?

What's even more curious is that FAIR completely fails to mention their founder, Dr. John Tanton, who believed Latinos were uneducable, was obsessed with eugenics, accepted money from the race-pseudoscience outfit Pioneer Fund, and thought the 14th Amendment was undesirable.
Indeed, Tanton was the architect of the modern anti-immigrant movement, was on a first name basis with figures like Peter Brimelow, Harry Weyher, and Roger Conner.

It's little wonder FAIR's token Latino staffer, @JoeGomezNews who has filed an action against them for racial discrimination.

Because FAIR was, and remains a racist organization, and has worked to stoke the fires of xenophobia since its inception.

FAIR says the US has resettled 900K refugees since 2001, as if they support it. Emblematic of FAIR doublespeak. Here's how they really feel:

fairus.org/press-releases…
Sunlight disinfects. That's why I'm suing to unseal the #TantonPapers - which are sealed until 2035. What's in there that FAIR and Dr. Tanton don't want us to see?

Amateur operation, guys. You can do better instead of making up accusations that I'm a paid operative of a Middle Eastern monarchy. I'm not.

I - and many who share this thread - just want you to be exposed for who you really are.

Thank you to the President for the #TrumpAddress tonight. I'm quite serious. Unlike him, I can see the writing on the wall.

I've been knee deep in the racist origins of our immigration policy for quite some time and seen how they clothe bigotry with easier to swallow terms.
Terms like "border security," "criminal alien," "illegal alien" and coopted terms like "migrant," "chain migration" and "national security."

So why would I thank him?
Because - simply - it's nothing new. It's the same old tired alarm, played on the world's most annoying siren. "We must stop the invasion!"

I've spent 15 years fighting for the rights of aspiring Americans, 12 of those years right here in northern Virginia.

I've been asked, "What's an immigration lawyer doing running for the state house when it's more of a federal issue?"
My response: because much of what my clients have to deal with are state laws. Laws like getting a driver's license. Or send their kids to school. Or not having to constantly look over their shoulder, dodging deportation land mines placed in unavoidable aspects of everyday life.
American children wondering whether their parents will be gone without warning when they get home from school. Sure, immigration laws originate 30 miles away in Washington. But the effect comes through Richmond.

#Christmas is a day of remembrance and strengthening family bonds. The border wall behind me cuts those bonds. It disintegrates families seeking inalienable dignity.

It is a monument to bigotry, a piece of physical xenophobia.
The picture is from my trip to Tijuana in August when I spent a few days advising asylum seekers. I am standing on the Mexican side, but technically inside the US.

Here, hope and despair run feverishly as two turbulent rivers, each vying for victory in these roaring rapids.
Tonight, entire families hunker down in a tent city not a hundred yards from where this picture was taken, their futures deliberately made cruelly uncertain, and still our government throws up more walls of bureaucracy designed to break the spirit under a huge "closed" sign.

I began my formal research in 1999, eight years after battling my way out of a secret, so-called #Marxist-#Leninist group whose leader controlled my life in its most intimate details.

He determined what I wore: a version of the advice in John Molloy’s bestseller Dress for Success (1975), featuring tailored blue suits and floppy red silk bowties. More significantly, he decided when I could marry, and whether I might have children.

THREAD: I’ve spent the last few weeks chatting with people about the upcoming #midterm elections. I’d like to share some of what I’ve heard and why this gives me so much hope.🇺🇸
I met these young women while walking my pups in my beachside community. For privacy reasons, I won’t share their real names (let’s call them “Julie” and “Amy”), but they graciously allowed me to share their stories.
One the best parts of walking my “boys” (Bowen and Bynum) is that I get to meet lots of strangers. I mean, who can resist these two?😍

Seriously, the pups break the ice, and as a consequence, I’ve met lots of interesting people.

We're back in Liberia to follow the saga of General Samuel Doe, the Liberian leader from 1980 to 1990.

(Part 2)

#KnowYourDictators
1. A recap: its the mid 1980s.

Samuel Doe has grabbed power through a military coup (how else?) and is having a grand ol' time ruling his people through violence and intimidation😊
A self made man, Doe has done really well for himself and his friends, amassing a considerable fortune through controlling important state owned companies💵

And of course, general looting from the treasury💰

Microchip, Roger Stone, John Cardillo, Kurt Schlichter, RT, Sputnik, The Federalist, Steve King and now Laura Loomer are all telling us the new Civil War is coming or already here.

Why is @MSNBC's Malcolm Nance pushing the same message?

#TeamPillowForts #WhoFundsGhostOfStew
I like posting receipts, so I figured I would share them now. It's important to show your work, of course.

Microchip says they'll "bring down the Western world as you know it" despite all the people trying to prevent this. Okay then.
Roger Stone said, "if there is an illegal attempt to remove the president,” he says, “you’re going to have a civil war in this country.”

An "illegal attempt" being whatever Roger Stone, frequent guest of RT and co-host of Infowars, decides it is.
