#ElizabethWarren called for #impeachment. SHE DISPLAYED COURAGE AND PRINCIPLE.

#JustinAmash called for impeachment. HE DISPLAYED COURAGE AND PRINCIPLE.

DO THE MATH, CONGRESS!

#Impeach and defend the rule of law.
I hate division.

I hate conflict.

I hate injustice.

But they are unavoidable realities.

Nobody enjoys the idea of #impeachment, but we have a DUTY to protect and defend our Constitution.

Trump, Barr, and the GOP are mocking the rule of law. Make them pay for it. #IMPEACH
Why am I pushing so hard for #impeachment? Because smug political thugs like Trump, Barr, Graham, and McConnell shouldn't be able to trample our Constitution without consequences.
And #impeachment
goes far beyond #Mueller. Inciting violence against the free press is a subversion of the First Amendment.

OPEN LETTER TO @RepJerryNadler

Dear Chairman Nadler,

As a New Yorker and as an American, I am writing to ask why you refuse to open #impeachment proceedings in the face of rampant lawlessness, abuse, and corruption on the part of Donald Trump and his Republican cronies.
LETTER TO NADLER

From incitement of violence against the free press in contravention of the First Amendment, to violations of the emoluments clause, to atrocities on the southern border, to obstruction of justice, there is an overwhelming imperative to #ImpeachTrump.
LETTER TO NADLER

Chairman Nadler, for most of the 35 years since I escaped war in Lebanon and settled in New York City, I have lived in your district on the west side of Manhattan, moving from the Upper West Side to Battery Park City after the September 11 attacks.

#IMPEACHMENT IS **NOT** JUST ABOUT #MUELLER

Donald Trump has violated his oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He has done so by repeatedly attacking the free press as "enemies of the people," a direct subversion of the First Amendment.
The sycophants cowards, and right-wing extremists of the GOP will never have the courage or principle to follow in #JustinAmash's footsteps. And sad to say, the Democratic Party leadership is still dithering, refusing to do their constitutional duty.
So has anything changed today or is #impeachment still on hold? And if so, WHY?

PERSONAL THREAD: ON #PTSD AND #GUNS

We've seen a number of suicides among survivors of school shootings. Tragedy compounding tragedy. And I wanted to talk about one of the least covered reverberations of #gunviolence: the pain, fear, and anguish that last long past the shooting.
From the age of ten into my late teens, I lived in (or near) an active war zone in Lebanon. That was 4 decades ago. To this day, I wake up with severe night frights, reliving gun battles and experiencing a visceral fear that can't be expressed in words.
Over the years, the intense emotions have subsided, but knowing how scary PTSD can be, I just want to express compassion for those who are going through it, particularly the children and families who have survived mass shootings.

Vigorous #impeachment discussion yesterday between polls and elections expert @NateSilver538 (con) and former Harry Reid person @AJentleson (pro). The subject is worth a thread.
2. As with most issues before Congress, substance and politics are closely related but distinguishable. As to substance, the argument -- persuasive to me -- is that obstruction of justice, contacts with Russians seeking to influence a US election, corruption and the rest...
3...will do mortal damage to American democracy if tolerated. Not proceeding toward impeachment proceedings means tolerating all of these things, though it is possible to deceive oneself on that point. The political argument @NateSilver538 makes is about American voters.

1. I am so sick of hearing that the ONLY reason Trump should be impeached is if he conspired with a foreign power to steal the election. Let's remove that entire smokescreen and look at impeachment as a tool and why Trump needs to be impeached EVEN WITHOUT conspiracy allegations.
2. First, let's be clear about the ramifications of Pelosi's impeachment-is-too-divisive bullshit. We heard this before, about 15 years ago, when she took impeachment "off the table" even though the Bush administration lied us into an illegal war of aggression and ...
3. And violated Geneva conventions to make torture part of the intelligence toolbox. Here is what I opined then: "When Speaker Pelosi declared that the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney was “off the table,” she not only abdicated her Constitutional..."

In this article, @Sulliview argues that "talk of impeachment, all-but-taboo in Big Media’s coverage of Trump, [has] moved from the margins into the mainstream." She attributes that development mainly to a prominent essay in @TheAtlantic. That's not right. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
There's no denying that #impeachment talk has accelerated over the past few months. But I'm not convinced that this past week was really such a Rubicon when considered in broader perspective, or that a handful of well-argued essays in liberal magazines are the drivers of change.
For starters, there's been no shortage of impeachment talk in mainstream publications since Trump took office. I've gathered quite a few such articles in this @ShallTakeCare database, which includes analyses tracing back to before Trump even took office. takecareblog.com/blog/impeachin…

Är du oroad över att demokrati och de mänskliga rättigheterna är i fara? Utveckling i världen och här hemma tyder på det. Du som vill göra något för att lyfta fram det viktiga med samtal om demokrati kan nu att agera. Läs tråden
röstamermänskligt.se
#röstamermänskligt
Alla goda röster behövs för att komma bort från den enkelspåriga retoriken där gruppers gälla mot varann.
#röstemermänskligt är en partipolitiskt och religiöst obunden grupp från skilda bakgrunder med en gemensam nämnare: ett mänskligt samhälle
Valkampanjen är öppen för alla. Du behöver inte vara expert. Det du kan göra är att sprida kunskap, informera och samtala om mänskliga rättigheter under #röstamermänskligt eller irl, på gator och torg, med dina bekanta och familjer.

THREAD: Here’s why I applaud @JeffFlake for speaking out PUBLICLY against Trump‼️

Spoiler alert: it’s NOT b/c I expect him to vote DEM.🤔 1/
Trump’s approval rating among GOP voters👉🏼~75%. GOP voters won’t listen to Ds on Trump, but at least some WILL listen to conservatives.😉 2/
Trump’s approval rating needs to be <50% in Rs to #impeach b/c most House seats are won in PRIMARY, not general election👉🏼gerrymandering. 3/
