Remember, one of the first moves Trump's DHS considered making back in 2017 was to remove white supremacists as a focus of the "Countering Violent Extremism" program, and focus only on Islamic extremism

Soon after Trump took office, his administration canceled grants for programs aimed at helping people leave neo-nazi groups or preventing them from joining in the first place.

Trump's first budget requested no funding for any grants in this field. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

My hometown newspaper is really channeling my inner nihilist
News you can use
In all seriousness: "The city flooded four days a year about 50 years ago, but that average is now closer to 40. Projections used in Charleston’s recent sea level rise report say the flooding could happen as often as every other day by 2045." postandcourier.com/hurricanewire/…

Just a reminder that white supremacist terrorists have killed more people in the past week than entrants from Trump travel ban countries have killed in terrorist attacks in the last 40+ years.
(that's because entrants from travel-ban countries have killed zero people) cato.org/publications/c…
Today, the FBI Agents Association--which represents more than 14,000 active and former FBI special agents--demanded that members of Congress codify domestic terrorism as a federal crime, warning it poses “a threat to the American people and our democracy." politico.com/story/2019/08/…

NEW: We sued the Department of Homeland Security for Trump appointee Katharine Gorka's calendars and emails to learn whether her ties to anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim groups have influenced federal policy: americanoversight.org/new-lawsuit-in…
Gorka — who previously served as a policy adviser at DHS — reportedly advised the department to cut funding for the Countering Violent Extremism program, including grants for a group combating neo-Nazism and for a Muslim-American group working on violence prevention.
Gorka has shared anti-Muslim and conspiracy-driven stances on far-right websites, and she and her husband, former White House aide Sebastian Gorka, have ties to anti-immigrant groups. We need to know the extent of outside influences on DHS policy.

Trump shut down DHS’s Countering Violence Extremism grants program, stripped funding for @lifeafterhate (the only org in the country devoted solely to countering white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideologies), and gutted the interagency task force on Countering Violent Extremism. 1/
3 days after the Tree of Life synagogue shooting, Trump’s DHS convened a call w/ dozens of current & former nat sec officials. The topic of conversation? Not anti-Semitism. Not white supremacist terrorism.

Instead, they focused their attention on the “caravan” of asylum seekers.
FBI officials are reportedly afraid to pursue white supremacist terrorism because they don’t want to make Trump mad by going after his voter base. 3/

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
vanityfair.com/news/2019/07/h…
@wdunlap “But even beyond #Trump’s own words further up, there’s a good deal of evidence the two were friendly social acquaintances at least through the early 2000s”

“Trump called #Epstein twice in November 2004, according to message pads seized”

@wdunlap “Attorneys for #Epstein say he obtained a foreign #passport under an alias in 1980s to defend himself from potential kidnappers while traveling in the Middle East.

worried about perils he faced traveling there as ‘an affluent member of the Jewish faith’”

1) Everyone should know about the OIC [org Islamic council] consists of Muslim nations which adhere to a different human rights declaration.
2) called the 'Cairo Declaration of human rights in islam' In it the supreme law is shariah and blasphemy against it means prosecution
3) the OIC to have a 'different' hr dec is truly a danger to any critic of the Islamic world. Reason is bc the #UNDHR leaves 0 room for bias
