So we’re all clear, that deal that a couple of weeks ago betrayed 17.4m people now needs to be voted through so those 17.4m people don’t get betrayed
Also, what? Shame on DUP? The people who voted to keep UK in full internal alignment in accordance with their most basic principle, and which used to send the Sun into orgiastic celebration? Does Sun really want Brexit more than an economic Union? Because it’s time for choices
Truly, this revolution has been eating itself for so long that now it just shits itself

Oh god. May still thinks we can avoid participating in the European elections. Even now, she is in complete denial. It can’t work, and it won’t.
Be very clear. May, even now, yet again, is trying to trap MPs. She talks the language of unity and consensus but it’s the same old trick as before: to bind us into a cliff-edge of 22 May, by which time it will be too late to extend any further. As always, it’s this or the abyss.
It’s the most astoundingly cynical manoeuvre. She knows full well that if we haven’t even agreed what deal says, we can’t possibly have it enshrined in law by 22 May. So don’t be fooled. It’s the usual blackmail. We need a long extension or there’s no point asking for any at all.

This is key. May’s deal won 286 votes on Friday, at its absolute limit. People’s vote won 280 today, with Cabinet ministers barred from voting. May’s deal lost by 58 and people’s vote lost by 12. If she thinks she can do it, show us where her extra votes are coming from. It’s on.
Another point: 15 Tories came round to people’s vote tonight. Last week it was just 8. People like Nick Boles, Mike Freer, Mark Garnier, Margot James, moderates who are finally finding the courage to think beyond May’s straitjacketed box. We must work even harder. More can come.
As for Labour: yes, two dozen voting against ref is disappointing. But still, there was movement. Last week 198 voted for ref and 27 against. This time it was 203 and 24 against. I know it’s not yet good enough. But there is momentum - in both senses of the word

Tory George Eustice pretty much sums up the level of discourse by saying he’ll back Norway Plus and then slamming a customs union. I guess someone didn’t go to today’s tutorial
Sammy Wilson makes a very valid point. Norway Plus has to be negotiated - that means the backstop stays and may have to be used if the sides can’t agree on eg agriculture access. Another thing that Norway Plus folks need to be honest about: it’s a leap of faith, not a done deal
Wow, looks as though Norway Plus is going to edge it tonight. Lots of Tories coming on board. If you’d told me this in December 2016 when those same Tories were calling us traitors for proposing it we could have saved ourselves a court case

1) When it has to be a joke, but it’s not a joke: RBG sighting.

It’s Monday, April 1, 2019.
Brief coffee time, for the first time in awhile.
2) Yesterday (3/31/2019), as you all know, my husband and I saw Justice Ginsburg at a synagogue in Washington, D.C.
3) I want to go back and retrace what happened, step by step, and reflect on its significance a bit.

If you've ever wondered how you would have acted in the 1930s in the face of a rising tide of facism, I have some very good news for you, friend...

Let's take a look at some stuff that's going on right now...
There is no denying that white supremacy and fascism are on the rise in 'The West'. Since the end of the Second World War there's always been a contingent of far-right extremists seeking to gain purchase on the political scene.
Historically these groups never did very well (politically, socially) because of... you know, the whole swastikas, jack-boots and Holocaust thing. It's a very bad image.

alright y'all, here begins the livetweet book review of @De_Kosnik's Rogue Archives! I will tweet until my flight and then compose through the whole flight and tweet them all out at the end

(unless someone wants to contribute towards inflight wifi! 😉)
so to begin, I should say that I'm coming at this from what I didn't realize was a Rogue/Community Archiving perspective myself—Im working on #polyamory and #asexuality archives, both because I think they are essential and not filled yet and because, well I'm an archivist
I'm currently working at @kinseyinstitute, and I've done a few collections there from finding aid to physical archiving, and I've also made (and donated) smaller collections—the Kinsey now has the only ASCII pornography archive that I'm aware of because I made it

CNN is reporting that Mueller will announce the end of his Witch Hunt this week and release a report as early as next week. Of course CNN is fake news, but let's not forget that they are in Direct Communications with the Mueller team, as proven with the stone raid
Everyone with inside information is warning of a nothingburger report. James Clapper just announced that the report might be anti-climactic, with no clear answers of what might have happened. Adam Schiff has taken to attacking the Mueller investigation, calling it inadequate
Many people in the media, including Chris Cuomo a couple of weeks ago, has warned people to lower their expectations of what is or isn't in the report. In Truth they have gotten direct word from the Mueller team that there is nothing there and are trying to lessen the blow

1. You may recall that the FBI's investigation into Trump and Russia began when George Papadopoulos started talking in a London bar

Well, this weekend, George was talking again in a Chicago nightclub

We have the story

2. First, what everyone agrees happened.

Everyone agrees George and his wife Simona were at the Hydrate nightclub in Chicago on Thursday.

They met a computer programer named Jason Wilson and discussed the Russia investigation.

3. Jason tells me this about the conversation:

George told him that Sessions knew about his communications with Mifsud, the professor who told George about the hacked Russian emails, and encouraged George to find out as much as he could
