Maybe @GovernorVA doesn’t feel like he needs to resign despite overwhelming calls from his own party because he is counting on Republican support.

Repubs have been kinda quiet on this.

What statements demanding Northam’s resignation have you seen from the right? Post below.🧜🏻‍♀️
Found a Rick Scott call to resign tied to Northam's comments on infanticide.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

THREAD! Now that everyone is looking, wanna to learn some history about RVA's racism? @theValentineRVA has a series called #ControversyHistory that explores our difficult history. TOMORROW the topic will be #healthcare disparities. This include's medical college graverobbing.
In December, on our weekly show #MUNICIPALMANIA, we spoke with Dr. Shawn Utsey about his research documented in Until the Well Runs Dry regarding the history at the Medical College of VA of using black bodies in the name of medical advancement.

Part of Utsey's research was around a man named Chris Baker who was the medical college's anatomical man. There is a well documented history of Baker stealing bodies for the medical college. In 1882 Baker & med students were caught grave robbing together & Governor pardoned them.

Today people have continued to call for @GovernorVA to resign outside the Governor’s Mansion. This morning environmental activists stood firm in their stance for Northam to resign. His apologies aren’t enough because this isn’t just about ONE photo. (1/
Environmental activists have been fighting against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline because of the harmful impact to the Union Hill community. The community pleas to stop the pipeline have gone ignored. (2/
Their contention is that Ralph Northam and other VA politicians have continued to ignore the cries of the people in the face of corporate money. Despite having called out inconsistencies and other issues, community concerns continue to be ignored. (3/

This is from right-wing media BUT survivors don’t come forward w/ sexual assault allegations frivolously. Choosing to re-live trauma in public debate is not to be taken lightly. If Tyson chooses to come forward, we hope for a supportive space. 🧜🏻‍♀️💄🐝

Not sure if this is related; however, earlier this evening @CollectivePAC referenced racially motivated attacks from Northam’s camp. Is this foreshadowing of a response to allegations being made?

My interpretation is if Lt. Gov office is vacant when Governor leaves office then the Attorney General becomes Governor. That means Mark Herring is next in line.

If AG is ineligible, THEN it goes to Speaker of the House aka Kirk Cox who is the 1st Republican in the succession.

"Though they’d never speak of it openly, #Repubs and #Dems would be delighted if #PresidentTrump took executive action to fund the wall.

Dems would seize on the move as further proof that Trump is a tyrant bent on undermining democratic institutions."

"The country is paying attention to this border crisis. So, too, is the president. The only people who seem to be oblivious are in Congress.

And, like a hapless Nero, they continue to fiddle while everything around them burns."
"The most arresting statement from President Trump on Tuesday remains true: “How much more American blood must we shed before Congress does its job?”

After 73 5-4 wins for #Republican interests, Roberts and Kavanaugh step back from #74, despite other Republican appointees rarin’ to deliver. A new sort of “#Kavanaugheffect” in action after his toxic hearing display of partisanship. nytimes.com/2018/12/10/us/…
They're getting grumpy! #Republican Justices are jabbing Republican colleagues when denied the opportunity to deliver a win for the big right-wing donors. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Never forget: under Roberts, they have given big #Republican interests 73 wins in 5-4 partisan cases. That’s why they’re there.

In the early 1970s, a new idea began to spread like wildfire through the US Protestant evangelical right - that the social and political upheavals which beset America during the 1960s had been caused by a literal geographic invasion of demons. amazon.com/Invasion-Demon…
I own this book. In it John Hagee - whose political endorsement was heavily courted by John McCain in the 2008 presidential election primaries - describes personally casting out demons, in the style of the movie "The Exorcist".
Hagee has fallen under the influence of the 1948 Latter Rain revival which proposed the Gnostic paradigm that when Adam & Eve had been cast out of the Garden, God also withdrew his protective force field from the Earth and that allowed a literal invasion of demons which...

Time has come for the lesson, "Who killed Anne Frank".

The lesson was originally taught by Doris Bergen, author of "Twisted Cross: The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich".

Do you think Hitler was the most responsible for the death of Anne Frank ?...
Who killed Anne Frank ?

It was an exercise Bergen designed for teachers in a course she was leading, for schoolteachers, that was called "Teaching The Diary Of Anne Frank", to raise their awareness of the "chain of complicity" that led to the Holocaust...
Bergen wrote out, on cards she passed out one by one to the teachers, "identities" of different people who each played a part in the death of Anne Frank - Hitler, Himmler, the person who snatched a scrap of bread from Anne Frank's hand in the concentration camp...

Opinion | If you work for Trump, quit now wapo.st/2mjNWuW?tid=ss… Staffers, Kelly, Pence, Mnuchin, Haspel, Coats, Sessions, Ross, O'Rourke, Mattis, Pompeo: #RESIGN
Whatever fantasy you had about saving the country by containing Trump's worst impulses was utter self-delusion. The only good you can do for your country now is to resign. Preferably, all together, in a single news conference.
You are *not* the only thing standing between Trump and his worst impulses. You are *not* obliged to stay in place because otherwise you'll be replaced by even more irresponsible toadies and flunkies. You *are* those toadies and flunkies: He doesn't listen to a word you say.

THREAD: Cambridge Analytica (CA) assigned dozens of non-US citizens to provide campaign strategy and messaging advice to ­#Republican candidates in 2014, even as an attorney *warned* CA that this was ILLEGAL‼️1/

washingtonpost.com/politics/forme…
This ILLEGAL effort to embed foreign workers was designed to present Cambridge Analytica, whose parent, SCL Group, was based in London, as “an American brand” to appeal to U.S. political clients.🙄 2/
U.S. election laws CLEARLY say that foreign nationals (w/o a green card) must not “directly or indirectly participate in the decision-making process” of a political campaign, although they can play lesser roles.🤨 3/
