Really important story here from @alexburnsNYT and @melbournecoal especially relevant to South Florida politics (short thread) nytimes.com/2019/05/17/us/…
When Democrats from elsewhere in the country ask me about 2020, I mention that a number of voters here who might want to vote for a Dem worry about the party's leftward shift. Many of them say they are Never Sanders people who would rather vote for Trump -- or not at all.
This tends to surprise Democrats from elsewhere. But the fear of "socialism" is real here. See the effective 2018 strategy deployed by (now Governor) Ron DeSantis. Dems ignored the attack as ridiculous. Voters seemed to think otherwise. nytimes.com/2018/09/10/us/…
Also, Sanders was none too eager to face Cuba questions the only time he held a rally *in Miami* in 2016. This, folks, is standard policy fare for presidential candidates here. Gotta have answers at the ready. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…

PARKLAND, Fla. — Kelly Plaur is still having nightmares almost every night. Even the sight of certain window blinds can put her on edge, reminding her of the bullet holes that pierced the classroom blinds on the day of the rampage.

Hollan Holm still avoids sitting with his back to the entrance of a room. At church, he said, he is “hyper-aware” of people he does not recognize. When he enters any space, he tends to conduct a threat assessment of his surroundings.

OK, here's where things stand re the recount situation in Palm Beach County, best we can tell. *Deep breath.* 1/
A state judge in Tallahassee favored extending the deadline for Palm Beach to conduct its machine recount from Thursday to Tuesday, Nov. 20. Palm Beach's machines are too old to conduct multiple recounts simultaneously. 2/
A candidate for state house, Jim Bonfiglio, sued, fearing Palm Beach would not get to recounting his race. He's behind Republican Mike Caruso by a mere 37 votes. 3/

#Thread @PatrickBuchanan on @IngrahamAngle's show discussing the Fate of America:

"What's happening here quite simply is, even under the Trump Era, that the borders of the United States are basically collapsing...after awhile we cease to be the America we grew up in" 1/
.@IngrahamAngle on Border Crisis: "They say the border is at the breaking point well sometimes I wake up and I feel like I'm at the breaking point because here we elected Donald Trump, it was about building the Wall, enforcing the border, deporting all the violent criminals" 2/
.@IngrahamAngle: "The sovereignty our founding fathers understood was critical for the survival of the Republic was rooted in the idea of keeping us free, which I think we forget about. To be a truly free people a foreign power, in this case many countries, can't control us." 3/

#THREAD: the #Epstein case vs the #MichaelJackson case: for those talking about "getting away" with "crimes", let's take a look at how (white) privilege really works. And why nobody talks about Epstein, while #MJ is being subjected to another slanderous mockumentary. (1)
For a good comparison, we'll take a look at the timeline of the #Epstein case versus that of the #MJ case. You'll see the differences in approach, treatment and mediatic consequences by yourself. #JusticeforMJ #ExposeTheLiars (2)
miamiherald.com/news/local/art…
As per screenshot 1, the parents of #Epstein's alleged victim, a 14-y.o. girl, reported the alleged crime to the police. In 1993, the first allegations against MJ started with an extortion plan and a search for a "highly profitable settlement". (3) More: themichaeljacksonallegations.com/the-1993-alleg…

It's not just Rolls Royce... Here's what we can conclude (short #thread):

theguardian.com/business/2018/…
1. Although no manufacturing jobs are being moved, the EU's aviation body will take the place of the CAA. Clearly this is a work transfer.

2. UK aviation companies are showing they lack confidence in the UK government to provide safeguards.

...
3. There is turbulence ahead as aerospace manufacturers weigh where to invest. They operate closely integrated supply chains, so expect them to move as one body.

4. Much depends what Rolls, Bombardier and Airbus do. They will take tens of thousands of jobs with them if they go.

This is an excellent point, and one worth dwelling on a bit.

We often talk about the civil rights movement as being a lifetime ago, but we have to remember it was within the lifetimes of people who are still with us today.

Some are famous, like Georgia's Congressman John Lewis, a former SNCC activist. But of course, many more are not.
Well known or not, they all took part in an important piece of American history that is, for them, also a personal memory.

They know, as @fivefifths noted, the price that their generation paid to secure the right to vote, and how precious -- and precarious -- that right is now.

1. This research & op-ed from @awh @leahstokes, & @mmildenberger is absolutely fantastic. It's also a smidge frustrating -- so, a short thread. nytimes.com/2018/10/31/opi…
2. I don't know how much this was imposed by the @nytopinion's noxious, dessicated "both-sides" editorial philosophy ... but the op-ed makes it sound as though ignorance about public policy preferences is kind of a generic, universal phenomenon, like weather.
3. But if you read between the lines a bit, you see what, to me, is the most significant feature: in all the cited cases, public opinion is *far to the left* of what Congressional staffers (on both sides!) think. The ignorance here all runs in one direction! Hmm.
