#Mississippi: Ugly Old Trick Targets #MikeEspy Voters gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi… #MississippiRunoff #MississippiSenateRace
Mike Espy, US Senate candidate, reveals the return of an outlawed #VoteSuppression tactic aimed at elderly voters. In the vote-stealing biz it’s called "push polling" in which a fake pollster cons a voter out of their vote. gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi…
Push-polling was infamously successful in elections in years past. For example, in 1996, supporters of Republican Sam Brownback, posing as pollsters, used it against Democrat Jill Docking. Funds for the “push polls” were traced back to Koch Industries. gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi…

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…

The 2016 election was a massive fraud on US voters.

Trump & Pence are illegally occupying our gov.

The Trump Lie:

"FBI agents say there is likely to be an indictment"

November 3 & we voted Nov 8

This was a lie repeated 24 / 7 on EVERY channel

snpy.tv/2erTksQ
The FBI knew that it was Trump they were seriously investigating. None of that leaked before we voted.

But Giuliani buddies in the New York FBI office set out to defraud voters & lie about Clinton.

And Fox News? They conspired to spread the lies - fraud
GOP leadership on audio tape talking about Russia funding populist politicians to destabilize Europe & then they shift to how Putin could be doing it in the US.

Why didn't @SpeakerRyan @cathymcmorris @GOPLeader @SteveScalise report this to the FBI & us?

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

(There's an alternate "diner" version I can't find anywhere online)

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.

Ando de vacaciones desde hace un par de días, en un hotel cerca de la playa. Iba todo bien hasta que han comenzado a suceder cosas raras.
Esta tarde estaba leyendo en la terraza de mi habitación cuando he escuchado que la puerta se abría. Y a este viaje he venido solo.
Lo primero que he pensado es lo normal en estos casos, que sería alguien del servicio de habitaciones.
