Kris Kobach’s #Crosscheck voter purge program is inherently racist. Under the guise of catching so-called double voters, it crudely matches the first and last names of voters across states. kboo.fm/media/72437-gr… #VoterSuppression #ElectionFraud
U.S. Census data shows that minorities are overrepresented in 85 of 100 of the most common last names. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
And now #KrisKobach is trying to add a citizenship question to the US #Census2020 that could result in even more legal minority voters being illegally purged from the rolls and/or deterred from voting. gregpalast.com/kris-kobachs-b… #InterstateCrosscheck #Census #VoterSuppression

Trump's #Venezuela embargo is far worse than the one imposed on Saddam, who was still allowed to sell 2 million barrels of oil a day. And Saddam was allowed some access to the nation’s foreign bank accounts. #HandsOffVenezuela
The #Venezuela embargo is brutal — no food and medicine, no spare parts allowed to fix essential infrastructure such as the subway, electric, and water systems. As the UN rapporteur said, this is a medieval siege. #HandsOffVenezuela
Is Maduro a great guy? Is he a wonderful democrat? Nope. Is he competent? Not very. Chavez would've cut a deal—he did many, quietly. I know Maduro, he's inflexible. But Venezuelans don’t want Donald Trump, Donald Tusk, BP or Exxon choosing their president. gregpalast.com/venezuela-the-…

Horizontal #fracking—as was proposed in Ireland—requires explosive charges fired along miles of pipe underground (and under houses and water supplies) followed by the pumping of fluids at high pressure through these pipes, resulting in man-made earthquakes ecowatch.com/ireland-ban-fr…
Buildings don’t fall down due to #fracking, but cracks bring hydrocarbon poisons into the aquifers. In the vast uninhabited wastes of the American Dakotas, we simply abandon water systems. Where in #Ireland can you do that? gregpalast.com/fracking-in-ir…
Is there a safe way to frack? Not profitably — and certainly not within the geology of a little emerald isle. ecowatch.com/ireland-ban-fr… Cc. @EcoWatch #fracking #Ireland #environment

No one knew who #JuanGuaidó was — including 80 precent of Venezuelans — when he declared himself president. But he got the one vote that counts in #Venezuela, Donald Trump's. #HandsOffVenezuela
And when I say Donald Trump, Trump doesn't know Juan Guaidó from a hole in the wall. It's John Bolton and Elliott Abrams. Bolton is Trump's National Security Advisor, he's the guy who sold us the war in Iraq. salon.com/2018/03/23/tru…
And Elliott Abrams, our Special Representative for #Venezuela, was convicted of crimes for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j… #HandsOffVenezuela

How Many Non Citizens Vote?

How many non-citizens vote is a question that has yet to be answered, but Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity headed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is attempting to find an answer.

There is certainly enough evidence to show that a significant number of non-citizens have voted across the United States. Jess Richman and David Earnest of Old Dominion University reviewed incidents of voting by non-citizens, and while some have argued that illegal voting

is inconsequential, Richman and Earnest attempted to find exactly how many non-citizens vote. They concluded that, “[M]ost non-citizens do not register, let alone vote. But enough do that their participation can change the outcome of close races.”1 Using data from the

back to morven farm for day two of the city council planning retreat. this event is “open to the public,” but is 20 minutes outside of town, GPS to the address takes you to the wrong gate, the number on their site is dead, & you have to give your name to a gatekeeper. “open” huh?
civic engagement starter pack: notebook, pen, external battery, snacks. not pictured: steely resolve to make it through the whole damn day.
the false entrance is blocked off with cones this morning and the gatekeeper only asked if i was “a citizen,” not for my name. i can’t help but feel like these changes are a response to my furious call to city hall yesterday.

1/12 Trump dissolved his voter fraud commission today. In its 6 months of existence, the commission accomplished basically nothing but caused a lot of controversy. I’ve been covering it from the beginning — let’s review it from start to finish.
2/ Trump formed the commission in March, after spending the start of his presidency asserting with no evidence that millions of people voted illegally. propublica.org/article/theres…
3/ The commission’s first action was in June, when it requested substantial amounts of voter information from every state. propublica.org/article/presid…

Voter data from 32 states could easily be hacked because of huge security flaws in Kris Kobach's Crosscheck program motherjones.com/politics/2017/…
Kobach calls Crosscheck database model for Trump commission but it has huge security flaws, show docs released by @IndivisibleChi
Florida released 1,400 names from Crosscheck to voting rights activists without redacting names, addresses, DOB or last 4 digits of SS #
