It's breaking that in a court filing for Flynn today, OSC prosecutors have cited (and in some cases unredacted) info @ people from the Trump admin AND CONGRESS reaching out to Flynn to obstruct. New info. Developing-more as this unfolds. #ThursdayThoughts
2-Important to note that some of the filing cites hard evidence of these efforts to interfere in the investigation, by way of a voice mail left on Michael Flynn's phone that he gave to prosecutors. We don't know why it wasn't included in the OSC report yet. #ThursdayThoughts
3-Reporting now that Judge in the Flynn case today ordered prosecutors to hand over actual audio recordings of Flynn's conversations with RU officials. They have until May 31 to turn this evidence in to the court. This is getting interesting.. #ThursdayThoughts

Graham spoke out today saying that Trump isn't 'adequately' briefing Congress on their Iran Intel, & that's because the Intel that they have is stuff that they made up to provoke Iran into War, so they can't defend it-this is another sign #WednesdayWisdom

2-Bolton & Trump are going to try to take military action in Iran w/o obtaining madatory Congressional permission. This will be one time when ignoring the rule of law, the Constitution gets us ALL in a lot of trouble.
"“No, I feel we haven’t been well informed and I’m writing a

The Alabama Senate just passed a total a total abortion ban with no exception for rape or incest. It now goes to the Governor's desk, where it is expected to be signed into law. Some things to remember going forward:
Abortion is STILL LEGAL in Alabama. If you have an appointment scheduled, DO NOT ASSUME IT IS CANCELED. You can still have an abortion in Alabama! Call your clinic and they will walk you though the process. Don't panic yet.
Neither this bill nor any other piece of legislation will ever end abortion in Alabama, or the U.S., or anywhere. Abortion has always existed and it will always exist. All these bans do is drive abortion underground. You cannot end abortion - you can only end legal abortion.

This morning, I looked up one of the many state legislators sponsoring these horrific ideas to criminalize abortion. His page cited protection of "innocent" life as a priority and it struck me: they see women as evil. Babies are innocent; women aren't. It goes back to Eve. 1/
Eve tempted Adam into sin, and women suffer pain in childbirth as punishment. So all women are inherently sinful in the eyes of Evangelical "Christians."

We can never be as valuable as innocent babies, even when those "babies" are just clumps of cells. We are expendable. /fin

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the UNSC session on #Venezuela:

Former president Maduro bears full responsibility for the people's suffering.
Now we have a new leader @jguaido. We cannot delay this critical conversation. We must support the Venezuelan people.
Rosemary DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs:

Nearly 30 million Venezuelans are suffering from hyperinflation.
At least 20 people have died in recent unrests, many more injured.
The needs of the Venezuelan people must be met to enjoy peace.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at the UNSC:
We are here because people in #Venezuela are searching the trash for food.
We are here because women are resorting to prostitution to make ends meet.
The Maduro regime's failed policies & oppression stole this country's future.

#BREAKING The Saudi government is deporting hundreds of #Rohingya refugees to Bangladesh.

Here's a video sent to me by an inmate in Shumaisi showing Rohingya being lined up, handcuffed, and prepared for deportation.
Voice notes from Rohingya inside Saudi Arabia tell me that Saudi prison guards rounded up loads of Rohingya in the middle of the night, and told them to get ready for Bangladesh.
Some of these Rohingya men, women, and children, have been inside Shumaisi, a Saudi detention centre, for the last five to six years.
