If conservatives want to disavow racism they must reject policies that have a disparate impact on people of color. #PoorPeoplesCampaign has written @GOP to request an opportunity to present our analysis of 5 interlocking injustices. We’re ready. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
If GOP wants to separate itself from Trump, McConnell should join Pelosi & demand Trump stop attacks on immigrants, pass immigration reform, restore the VRA, make just policies toward Native Americans, & support living wages & health care—all of which impact people of color.
And stop callling every program that helps people “socialism”—a scare word that’s been used in racist ways to attack black leadership for years.

Pastor John Hagee said before Trump, judges were being appointed slowly. Not true. McConnell blocked Obama nominees.
Hagee says socialists are anti-God. Truth is, the Bible says nations that don’t care for poor, sick, hungry & immigrants will face judgement.
Those he supports give tax cuts to the greedy, but he dosent say anything. Yet he speaks out against health care for all.

Yesterday in Canton, MS, I met a mother w/ 4 children who’s been working here for 18 yrs but now faces deportation. We also learned abt a mother who’s not been allowed to nurse her baby for 19 days. These policies of Trump & all his enablers are violent, inhumane & evil.
These sick children who will die if deported are an indictment on everyone who could have stopped it but didn’t. nytimes.com/2019/08/29/us/…
Remember what Dr King said after the killing of the 4 girls in Birmingham:  “They have something to say to every minister of the gospel who has remained silent behind the safe security of stained-glass windows....

This is the most accurate headline about Trump's tweet.

It is absolutely a deportation threat. Clearly political, red meat to his base, on the eve of his 2020 re-election campaign. Like most threats, it's designed to create fear. And it's working.

apnews.com/e32b4a65baf74a…
He will probably have a tough time meeting it, for several reasons:

1 - ICE was blindsided by the tweet. Yet another example of dysfunction.

2 - ICE doesn't have the resources to deport millions. (Being a thorn in his side is one of my life's great satisfactions.)
3 - It's not even clear who he's targeting - those with final orders of deportation, those with final expedited orders, or just anyone without status.

Now that he's said it, I suppose ICE has to do what it can to make it a reality. Or at least an illusion of reality.

@peterdaou Hi Peter! I'll explain this in full.

This may be a bit long winded but I'll do my best, ok?

While the narrative between #NeverHillary & #NeverBernie may look very similar on the outside, I feel there are very huge differences. /1
@peterdaou For us Berners, it is all about issues & policy . That & only that. Many of us, like myself, are NOT Democrats. I once was but I left the party in the 90s over it's refusal to support gay rights. As it is now, I'm a Green & I am crossing party lines to vote for Bernie. /2
@peterdaou Are there other Dems I would vote for? Yes there this time around. Mike Gravel being one.

For us though, we don't care what party someone is a member of, we care about who will help people the most in an age when 50% of American's can't afford the basics. /3

Ignore the polls and get out there and #Vote on November 6th. Relying on polling is a relic of a time gone by.
I’m not saying looking at @FiveThirtyEight’s model and charts and stuff isn’t cool, because it is and provides some insight. But no matter what the numbers say, it’s most certainly NEVER an excuse to not #Vote because you feel your peeps are a “lock”
Need nothing further than to point to 2016. Which by the way, @FiveThirtyEight didn’t really have wrong, but the “selected not elected” mindset existed before 2016. Why else would over 100 million people choose NOT to participate in their civic duty to choose their leaders.

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter
nyti.ms/2CvoRaT
2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to
3/"vote, and one of the root causes of low turnout is this country’s framework of restrictive voting laws. The United States is unique in allowing state laws to largely govern voting in federal elections. Ever since key federal protections were dismantled by the Supreme Court in

Putin's Ideological War THREAD 1/8:

Trump & the modern GOP are symptoms of Russian war unleashed upon the U.S. population.

Knowledge is key to winning this war & preventing Kremlin-inspired radicalization of our people.

Must read by @KirkseniyaSF. ⬇️
kyivpost.com/article/opinio…
"The Kremlin creates special mini-ideologies...aimed at specific social groups."

The first such group Kirillova discusses is RW ideologically religious. To that end, the Kremlin seeks to target activities & propaganda at Christian groups inclined to "protect Christianity." 2/8
Putin also targets less religious but still very far right groups in democracies abroad.

This ideology is frequently intertwined w/nationalist sentiments & the promise of a restoration of lost greatness. ('Make America Great Again' is the U.S. version of this rhetoric.) 3/8
