And now for the decorations. If me and @PeterMurrell are not arguing within the next half an hour, it will be a Christmas miracle. Ho ho ho🎄
And just to prove my point. Really great start @PeterMurrell - well done!
We got there - and I’m sure we’ll be talking to each other again by tea time @PeterMurrell! #christmasspirit 😂🎄

Since it’s Christmas, I’m going to indulge myself in some book chat (so look away now if you’re only here for the politics). In the next few tweets, I’ll share the books I’ve most enjoyed in 2018 (tho no doubt I’ll have missed out a few crackers, so apologies in advance)...1/
2/ First up is the crime/thriller category - always a favourite
3/ next is general fiction - I’ve read lots of good stuff this year so not easy to choose but here goes...

1/ The UK government’s immigration proposals are an act of vandalism on the Scottish economy & public services. They will send our working population into decline, depress growth, reduce revenues & deprive us of the presence & contribution of people who want to build a life here
2/ @scotgov modelling shows that a 50% reduction in EU migration will send our working age population into decline. The estimate in this paper is that the UKG proposals could reduce EU/EEA migration to Scotland by 85%. That will devastate our economy and care sector.
3/ the hit to population and revenues is tangible. Less so - but still so important - is the loss to our society of hardworking people who enrich our society. And of course, ending free movement cuts both ways - we all lose our rights to live, work and study freely across the EU.

1/ If the UK government’s immigration paper is as expected it will be devastating for the Scottish economy - our demographics make it essential that we attract people to live & work here. A reduction of 80% in people coming here from EU will see our working age population decline
2/ Apart from the serious economic damage, these proposals send a terrible message that the UK is becoming less open and welcoming and more insular. Why any PM would want to claim this as a personal legacy is beyond me.
3/ in both the development and content of these proposals, Scotland’s interests have been ignored. If our economy and society are not to be damaged - and the net positive contribution EU nationals make not lost - we need control over these decisions in our own Parliament.

Last night, we officially hit our $30,000 end-of-year fundraising goal.

$30,123.76 in just 25 days.

THANK YOU!

An absolutely INCREDIBLE start.

We still have FIVE more days until the end of the month/year...

How much further do you think we could go?!

Yesterday, BSA supporter @hella_swears helped us raise $5,000 in virtually ONE hour through price-matching.

This shows us how much is possible with the support of comrades!

We celebrate hitting our $30,000 end-of-year goal, but KNOW we can go harder!

blacksocialists.us/donate
We ask these folks to help us in getting support that will allow us to not only keep going, but EXPAND in 2019:

• @robdelaney

• @johncusack

• @larrycharlesism

• @jaboukie

• @zackfox

• @BootsRiley

• @tmorello

Certainly these poppin’ Lefties could give us a boost? 🥵

#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.

✂️🐟🎉🏀 Hey everyone, @Science_Baller here! I'll be the guest host today talking about all things #STEMed #scioutreach #scicomm and #CRISPR today! Jump with questions at any time and I'll try to answer them! It's going to be a #zebrafishparty and I'm pumped! 😎
A little about myself: I am a new lecturer in Biological Sciences @VanderbiltU . I teach a section of Introductory Bio (220 students) and 3 sections of Intro Bio Lab (16 students/each). What's the biggest course you have had to teach? #STEMed #AcademicTwitter #phdlife #phdchat
I graduated with my Ph.D. in Biochemistry in May from @RiceUniversity . My research focused on #zebrafish genetics using #CRISPR mutagenesis. My big paper discussed a new #CRISPR tool that we developed which has an increased mutation rate+longer deletions onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.100…

.@united, don't let ICE put Banny Doumbia on any of your flights out of #DTW tonight. #FreePapaDoumbia
People are gathering at North Terminal to #FreePapaDoumbia right now at #DTW. ICE is attempting to deport him via @united within the next hour. #Resist #ResignAdducci @other_eli @WeThePeopleDet @wdet @takeonhate @saladinahmed @HMAesq @freep @RashidaTlaib @detroitnews @aayoub
Livestream from #DTW. @United, are your gate agents arguing that a man who is resisting can forcibly be put on your plane? Is that the policy your company endorses? Transportation services for a cruel agency that is ripping apart families? #FreePapaDoumbia m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Content warning: torture of children.

In Virginia, in one of the jails used to warehouse immigrant children (not the ones stolen by ICE, other ones) treatment of children accused of being MS-13 members is a replay of Abu Ghraib.
I'm seeing almost all of the named acts of torture identified at Abu Ghraib listed here - only waterboarding is missing, but it's compensated with more broken bones.
There will be claims that this was a few bad apples: I call bullshit. It is not possible for people to have been working at this facility and not seen this pattern over years.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.
