Over the past week we've put the voter purge lists from 4 states online. Since then, we've had over 100,000 people visit our website to see if their voter registrations have been cancelled—and tens of thousands who were able to re-register because of it.
Are you a victim of #ThePurge?

Ho ho ho! Now that #BrianKemp is no longer #Georgia's Secretary of State, his office has informed the Palast Investigative Fund attorneys that they are throwing in the towel in the Palast & Butler v. Kemp suit we filed in Atlanta Federal Court in October. gregpalast.com/look-what-sant…
This opens up the remainder of #BrianKemp’s infamous, racially-poisonous voter purge files. Specifically, #Georgia will produce the hidden #Crosscheck purge files given to Kemp by #KrisKobach of Kansas — files Kemp’s flunkies told us had been “lost.” gregpalast.com/our-lawsuit-ag…
This data, which we will be analyzing is, as one of #StaceyAbrams attorney told me, “a gold mine” which can be critical in the law suit brought by her organization #FairFightGeorgia and in the fight to beat back New #JimCrow vote suppression. gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-…

#Georgia: The mystery of the 100,000 missing votes for Lieutenant Governor — Greg Palast talks to @Thom_Hartmann
Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves: results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/91639/Web02…
People said, 'Oh, I'm so excited about changing administration, but I’m not going to vote for #StaceyAbrams running mate?!?’ That’s like voting for President, and not voting for Vice President. [See drop off rate from Governor to Lt Governor and how it recovers down the ticket.]

Poppy Strikes Gold: Bush Sr. Made a Killing – 50 Miners Buried Alive gregpalast.com/poppy-strikes-…
While pundits are falling all over themselves spewing about the “civility” of the patrician George H. W. Bush, l must honor the memory those 50 men who were buried alive in a gold field in Africa so Bush Sr. could cash in. gregpalast.com/the-truth-buri…
To me, this is the most important story of my career — and almost ended it when Bush’s gold mining company (I bet you didn’t know he had one) sued my paper, The Guardian, threatening it with bankruptcy for telling the truth. gregpalast.com/the-truth-buri…

Over the last days I've been in a debate over the relationship between libertarianism and white power. It has been strange as for the most part I agree with what is being said by those I am debating with and disagree with the conclusion they are ostensible defending
But usually do not explicitly state. I worry we are talking past each other. I have therefore not found this particularly productive, but because I have profound respect for some participants such as @kimmaicutler, @GeeDee215 and @jcohen570 I want to try to
Coherently state my views her to clarify them.

I participated in one of the Ontario government tele-townhall conference calls for Eastern Ontario at lunch today. I took about 4 pages of notes, trying to transcribe everything, so this tweet thread will be really long. Hopefully I don't misrepresent what someone said!
Some people might find some of the comments and opinions expressed on the call offensive. I know I sure did. I'm not going to list peoples' names in the tweets but will keep their city. They all sounded like real people and not robots pretending to be humans.
The call was moderated by Danielle, who represented herself as non-partisan and completely neutral. She made it clear that they monitor language and want to maintain respectful and courteous tones. You do a lot of listening, including to a welcome message from @LisaThompsonMPP.

People from all over northern Greece have gathered to watch traditional Macedonian dancing in the small village of Ag. Panteleimon.
The dance also attracts other visitors. A large group of alt-right protesters who want to stop the dance from happening.

Macedonia Македонија
MK
People attending the dance are ethnically Macedonian and they attend in order to have a cultural evening in the MACEDONIAN LANGUAGE

People living in the town see the dance as dangerous.
Riot police situate themselves outsite the dance in case fighting breaks out.
The Greek state doesnt`t recognise the Macedonian minority. That all the citizens in Greece are Greeks and Orthodox Christians, that`s why everyone who presents some different thing, the Greek state look him like danger.

People have a fairytale impression of marriage, even the most intelligent people gloss over the reality of entering into a partnership that has no end date in sight.
Before we marry, our pattern of how we navigate relationships does not prepare us for what marriage expects.
We are used to getting into a relationship, and after a couple of weeks, months, years, the relationship running it's course.
We date again, meet another person we rate above others, and the process starts all over again. It ends, we begin dating again, we meet somebody
We fancy, we discover things we don't like over time, the relationship ends.
We date, we begin again, and it goes on and on, until we meet someone new and this time the relationship gets to the point where you are both ready to marry each other.

Trump is a lying, selfish, corrupt a$$ who committed collusion to win the election. It may make me feel better to write that. It may make you feel better to read it. We may get some followers out of it. BUT THAT'S NOT RESISTING. #FridayFeeling THREAD 1
Living under the Trump admin is frustrating. There's bad news every day, and he acts like a jerk on an ongoing basis. We're human & we need to vent. But PLEASE do more than vent. Snarky comments alone won't accomplish ANYTHING. 2
One of the best things you can do to fight Trump is call your Members of Congress (MoCs). It's not glamorous or sexy, but it's one of the most important things registered voters can do. The deluge of phone calls is what helped to kill previous ACA repeal bills. 3 #CallYourReps
