President Trump spoke tonight about "illegal aliens," but no human is illegal. #NoBanNoWall splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
It’s a myth that immigrants commit crimes at higher rates than native born Americans. It’s a myth that they hurt the economy. For the president to spread these fears tonight is not only inaccurate, but immoral. tolerance.org/magazine/sprin…
There is a humanitarian crisis at the border — one that this president’s relentless war on asylum seekers and his refusal to comply with the law have manufactured. #PresidentialAddress splcenter.org/news/2019/01/0…

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” Rep. Steve King said last week.

To be clear, white supremacy and white nationalism have always been “offensive.” nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/…
This was far from King's first time signaling support for white nationalism. He made white nationalist comments on CNN less than a year ago; praised an anti-Muslim figure convicted of hate speech; retweeted a neo-Nazi; and called Mexican immigrants “dirt.” cdn.americanprogress.org/content/upload…
Rep. King’s tenure in office has been marked by racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, bigoted words and deeds. But he’s not the only one. Just 24 hours before King was kicked off his committees, Trump put out a blatantly racist tweet about Native Americans. splcenter.org/hate-white-hou…

We’re here at the @Ctr4CHR joining the @NAACPGA, @NAACPAtlanta, @NationalSCLC and several other orgs ahead of the Georgia General Assembly calling for necessary, long overdue change—that begins with the takedown of Confederate monuments throughout the South.
There are 159 counties in Georgia. Ninety-two of them have Confederate monuments.
“This is a momentous occasion, but this is just the beginning.

“We cannot have a united country until we remove the symbols that divided this country.” —First Vice President of @NAACPAtlanta Gerald Griggs

One of the most important things we did in 2018 was continue to fight conversion therapy, an abusive, medically discredited practice which has been shown to lead to higher instances of depression, anxiety, substance abuse & suicide. #SPLCWinterreadingList bit.ly/2RrYaed
Conversion therapy is junk science that actively harms people. bit.ly/2sa4kRZ
Last March, we filed a motion asking a court to enforce an order requiring the complete dissolution of a fraudulent "conversion therapy" provider that the court ordered to shut down 4 years ago, but that continues to operate under a different name. bit.ly/2Ry7Xzh

Hannity is about to air his interview from the border with Trump. Follow me for a video thread.
Hannity hypes completely decontextualized crime stats to smear undocumented immigrants as violent criminals.

(They in fact commit crimes at lesser rates than native-born Americans.)
Hannity almost refers to Trump as "President Bush," but catches himself

TRUMP: "They drive, they just go where there's no security, fencing or walls of any kind, they just make a left into US & they come in and they have women tied up, they have tape over their mouths, electrical tape. Powerful stuff. Not good."

Fox News quickly cuts away.
TRUMP: "We're gonna build a powerful steel barrier. They didn't want to use concrete. I said OK I'll use steel. It's stronger. It's also more expensive by the way. Now people should be happy. I like it better if you want to know truth, & we'll call it a barrier instead of a wall"
People chuckle at Trump after he claims, "They say a wall is medieval. We'll so is a wheel. A wheel is older than a wall."

Trump continues: "There are some things that work. You know what? A wheel works and a wall works. Nothing like a wall."

1. If US politiicians really wanted undocumented immigration to end, they'd start locking up the Americans who hire them. The demand for undocumented labor would swiftly end. They never talk about that. There's a giant "Help Wanted" sign at our border and it's not coming down.
2. The majority of undocumented immigrants are people who overstay their visas, not illegal border crossings. Politicians don't talk about this.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
