I have called Trump the American Sisi because of his authoritarianism. I’m adding a new name: American Gaddafi because he talks and talks and talks endlessly. #CPAC
Sympathies for journalists who have to cover this endless American Gaddafi speech. Trump on a podium is what happens when a narcissist finds a mic and falls in love with his own voice. #CPAC
American Gaddafi. Trump’s speeches get longer and longer the more desperate and the more authoritarian he gets #CPAC

“When it is legal for a 30yo to marry a 15yo that is not marriage because they are not equal partners...That is arranged rape”

GOP keep child marriage legal in #Idaho which has highest rate of child marriage in #USA

Whenever I read👆🏽articles I always think of outrage of Fox commentators, white supremacists & Islamophobes who always go on about Muslim men & girl brides. From 2000-2010, 4,080 children in Idaho were married, according to @UnchainedAtLast. The youngest minor wed in Idaho was 13
This is about patriarchy. Remember: the majority of U.S. states do not lay out a minimum age for marriage if statutory exceptions are met, such as parental or judicial consent or in case of pregnancy. reuters.com/article/us-usa…

I have stood under a podium on which Gaddafi conducted a news conference where I asked him the first question, at an event just outside of Tripoli in 1996. Tell me, did you meet or report on Gaddafi?
In 1996, I was a Reuters correspondent in #Cairo. I went to #Libya to cover the 27th anniversary of the “Green Revolution.”I don’t have access to the Reuters articles I wrote from #Libya but here are some opeds I’ve written about Gaddafi the dictator and the hypocrisy of the West
#Gaddafi’s quirks should never have distracted from his abysmal human rights record. Arbitrary arrests, a muzzled press, a ban on political parties and the squandering of #Libya's oil wealth have never been laughing matters for Libyans. washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

This is the kind of poster I would happily get arrested for defacing with my spraycan. I have some experience. Full solidarity with Rep. Ilhan Omar. We are many who support you against these Islamophobic racists of the West Virginian GOP.
Background: Poster linking Rep. Ilhan Omar to 9/11 sparks outrage, injuries in W.Va. state Capitol h/t @rerutled washingtonpost.com/amphtml/politi…
Full solidarity with @IlhanMN. Each time racists and Islamophobes attack her, I post this which I wrote about the importance of her and @RashidaTlaib’s historic electoral victories google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

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
