Sadly, Mr “we have a problem in this country; it’s called Muslims” is not going to listen to her voice of reason & decency.
Here’s a must-read article by @brianklaas on the long history of Trump’s anti-Muslim bigotry washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
And yes, Trump deleted his tweet supporting the white nationalist, anti-Muslim website, but everyone saw it - tweeted while the mosque shooting in New Zealand was unfolding...
“White Supremacists See a Friend in Trump” hrw.org/news/2018/08/1…

And Trump hired people like Gorka & Bannon, who have known links to and a history of encouraging the white nationalist movement. Trump brought them to work in the White House hrw.org/news/2017/08/1…
“Trump’s reluctance to repudiate hate groups reflects his administration's policies, particularly regarding civil rights, counter-terrorism, and immigration -- policies that often are derived from racist, anti-Muslim, and xenophobic sentiments.” ~ @hrw, 2017

This is pretty outrageous: Antonio Tajani, president of the European Parliament, praising Mussolini for "building roads, bridges, buildings." politi.co/2J9BY5u
This is a much-heard refrain about authoritarians, even among their opponents sometimes, that dictators - even though they are brutal - "get things done" on infrastructure. It's often not true, however, and even if it were, no bridge is worth mass murder.
The classic example is with Mussolini himself and the phrase, "at least he kept the trains running on time." Actually, he didn't: independent.co.uk/voices/rear-wi…

Some points on #Venezuela in a short thread...
Venezuela is facing an unprecedented human rights and humanitarian crisis that has generated a massive exodus of Venezuelans.

The number of Venezuelans who have fled their country in recent years is over 3 million, which has generated a refugee crisis in Latin America.
Venezuela is seeing outbreaks of preventable diseases that had been eradicated, such as measles and diphtheria, dramatic surges of illnesses such as malaria and tuberculosis, and increasing levels of malnutrition.

#StandUp4HumanRights - a long thread for the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights...
Preamble:

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind,

Consider the cumulative effect going back 4 years.

Person at a Trump campaign rally: "We have a problem in this country, it's called Muslims...when can we get rid of them?"

Trump: "A lot of people are saying that...we're going to be looking at that."
Think Trump's enduring stance on white supremacist terror hasn't had a serious impact on America and the world? Think again. This investigation is already outdated since we published it last July—the mass shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue, among others. motherjones.com/crime-justice/…
Long ago @MotherJones reported extensively on the brewing dangers of Trump tacitly but consistently embracing the hateful far right. It's painful to know that America elected him anyway, and to know the subsequent carnage. motherjones.com/politics/2016/…

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.

#Muslims r one of the most financially excluded citizens in #Ethiopia & their primarily reason is #Riba. But I wonder how & where the data for such reports are collected? "Financial inclusion in Ethiopia: 10 takeaways from the latest Findex" tinyurl.com/ydhmd738 via @WorldBank
Citizens who identify themselves as #Muslims account for 34% of the #Ethiopia'n population (CSA, 2007). This large segment of the society was demanding Shari'ah Compliant #finance for long time. Banks first responded by introducing 0% interest A/C #financialinclusion @WorldBank
Banks attracted millions of customers and mobilized billions of Birr in deposits. Sadly, customers were unaware that these deposits are not #ShariahCompliant and they were subjected to successive devaluations which has impacted them a lot. #financialinclusion #Ethiopia @WorldBank

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
