Fellow Dems we need to have a conversation abt what happened here. Did a Dem group really edit this down in way which altered the true nature of the exchange? If so isn’t this disinformation, dirty tricks? Is that who we are? Imp conversation to have as we get ready for 2020.
2/This new info age requires us to create new norms, groundrules. Why I am pushing a pact/pledge for the 2020 Dems/DNC/State Parties on disinfo, hacking. Dems shouldn't be using illicit campaign tactics vs one another (or at all). ndn.org/blog/2019/02/n…
3/DNC has leverage here. Could require the 2020s to agree to a disinfo/hacking pact, and things like a requirement to support the nominee no matter who wins, to be on the debate stage later this year.
4/From @ThePlumLineGS
5/More progress towards new norms, better campaigns, healthier democracies. We are not powerless to stop the poisoning of our discourse, and must take real, concrete steps to make things better. huffpost.com/entry/bernie-s… Leaders must lead.

Trump's tariffs have slowed global growth, and are pushing the EU and the US towards recession. Congress must now step up and challenge his trade policies more directly now - protectionism has been tried here in the US, and it has failed. A better smarter path is needed now.
2/Friends, all sorts of global/domestic economic alarm bells going off right now. Cannot ignore. Critical to see how WH responds to current moment in its budget next week. Trump's policies to BLAME for slowed growth. More here fr NDN's @ctaylor551: ndn.org/blog/2019/03/t…
3/Next Trump move to fear, anticipate - slapping tariffs on European autos same time as he rent seeks for our military alliances. Could push Europe into recession, further embolden extremist parties, do lasting damage to NATO, US-EU relations. ndn.org/blog/2019/02/t…

1/Want to come back to something @glennkirschner2 has been writing and talking about for months - the crimes committed in 2016 were different, and require sustained Congressional attention. What happens when a President cheats his way to the White House?
2/As @glennkirschner2 has pointed out our system cannot look the other way if a huge, successful effort to break US election laws took place. Failure to examine, failure to prosecute, failure to respond creates an incentive for others to do so in the future.
3/Russia probe has to be seen in this context, as part of a grand conspiracy by Trump to cheat in 2016. This thread goes thru it- NRA, Foundation, Russia, illegal hush money.

1/A thread abt the investigation into Russia's attack on America in 2016, & why the goal of finding collusion between Trump & Russia while important isn't all that matters. Let's focus on what we already know for a bit, as this AP piece does so well. apnews.com/2b8513d4a4224a…
2/First, and most importantly, the US was attacked by perhaps our most consequential enemy in 2016, and through this attack helped ensure the narrow victory of their choice for US President. wsj.com/articles/donal… That this happened is not open to debate.
3/Trump's gone to extraordinary lengths to hide his connections to Russia, impede what may be most important US investigation in our history. He still hasn't sat for an intv; prevented a bipartisan 9/11 commission; fired critical leaders of DOJ/FBI. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

What Trump doesn't appear to realize (as he was tweeting that the French were chanting for him today), is that before too long, this will be what the streets in the US look like if the legislature doesn't protect Mueller/get Trump out.

Heaven Obscured
Kneecapped, I’m kneecapped,
Here looking out,
Where few really see me,
Worshipping their doubts.

Just like you all, I have a father and mother,
I’ve been to school, been educated,
Played games with my sisters and brothers,
Yet here in church I feel denigrated!
You stand around with smiles on your frowns,
Grasping the Spirit, claiming God is all around,
The sermon well focused, all about our saviour,
And how you all do so well, loving your neighbour!

Remember Scott Walker? His attack on teachers and public sector unions, the capital protests, his narrow recall victory, his Presidential run? He's in the fight for his political life and I don't see people talking about it much #here: motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
If Walker goes down—to a school superintendent no less—it would be one of the most symbolic upsets. Maybe more than even Cruz loosing to Beto. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Also a new governor would be able to help roll back the kinds of voting rights attacks that cost the Dems the state in 2016: motherjones.com/politics/2017/…

No evidence: the drug wore off, he used a condom, she woke up confused and drove home after the humiliating conversation. They were friendly the day before and she accepted his offer to stay over instead of taking the road so late. No witnesses. The perfect #crime. #FicFri
Overdose survived. She flirted with him until he invited her over again. She denied him nothing in bed, she was #obsequious. “I’ve got a surprise”, she said, and massaged his feet as he sipped the wine she gave him. He died of sepsis a week later. #vss365 #AmWriting
“He committed #treason against the sacred dojo. He disgraced the sport”, they said. “Perhaps. I am still going to the cremation ceremony. We must protect our art and not speak ill of a dead coach”, she said. “If he has a #soul, it will burn in hell”, they said. #FP #FridayKiss

Sure, let's do this.
As I've noted before, focusing solely on Southern Democratic politicians who officially switched parties -- instead of ordinary voters, as scholars emphasize -- intentionally misses the thrust of the party realignment on matters of race and civil rights:
But, sure, let's ignore what scholars have written on this and meet this question on D'Souza's own chosen ground -- racist Southern Democratic politicians who switched to the GOP.

No, 200 politicians didn't switch -- that's a laughably high bar -- but there were plenty.

I ran into a rabid Brexiter on my evening walk today. Talked about how happy he was now that UK was leaving the EU. I tried to keep my cool and think I managed to get in a few hard facts, like it’s not the EU forcing a hard border in Ireland #Disinformation #Brexit
The guy happens to be an (unfollowed but not unfriended) FB friend, and he offered me a ride home and said “Please don’t unfriend me.”
He’s decent enough, but very ill informed. I also told him that I’ve never been to a country more ill informed about EU than the UK.
I told him that there had been a massive anti EU disinformation campaign in the UK since the early 1990ies. The lies were so many the EU found it necessary to launch a separate page to debunk it. It has arond 600 entries, I sad.
Referring to this: blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/euro…
