Great news ➡️ It took us six years of investigating... but, finally, #Kansas, which generates the #Crosscheck scrub lists for other states, has agreed to kill the program. This effectively ends the entire national #VoterPurge operation. gregpalast.com/we-have-mortal… #VanishingVoters
But dangers still lurk:

1. At least a dozen states continue to use the old Crosscheck scrub lists. Astonishingly, this includes #Virginia, which the Democrats just won. gregpalast.com/virginia-using… #VanishingVoters
2. The settlement, signed by #KrisKobach’s successor in #Kansas with the @ACLU, only stops #Crosscheck temporarily. The agreement permits it to return if the state installs cyber security protections. truthout.org/articles/kansa… #VanishingVoters

We have databases with absolute proof that this purge is racist and illegal. @StaceyAbrams is covering the cost of our experts in #Georgia, where her organization, @FairFightAction is taking legal action using our evidence. news.yahoo.com/georgia-moving… #VanishingVoters
@staceyabrams @fairfightaction However, in #Wisconsin, a court decision is forcing a similar mass racist purge of 234,000 voters. It can be reversed. We are prepared to team up with WI Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes. courthousenews.com/wisconsin-elec… #VanishingVoters
@staceyabrams @fairfightaction But bluntly, we simply don’t have one penny to do this work. If you give a damn, here’s the link to make a tax-deductible donation: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopThePurge2…

Boris Johnson’s crushing win in Britain should be seen by progressives as a huge victory for the anti-globalization movement that grew out of the 1999 Battle of Seattle.

This election was another referendum on #Brexit, on the public’s overwhelming resistance to the massive de-industrialization of Britain imposed by corporate interests in control of the European Union — for example, the wholesale shift of the auto industry from England to Germany.
Tony Benn warned in 1975 that joining the European Union (then the “Common Market”) was “the most formal surrender of British sovereignty and parliamentary democracy that has ever occurred in our history”. Benn was proven right with a vengeance.

#Buzzfeed: Your Report On #Gulen #FETO Issue In Social Media is Truly One-Sided. Lumping All The Valid Info & Opposition into one “Turkish Trolls” From #Turkey Bucket is FALSE & Can be Very Easily Debunked. Now I have to wonder who you “Represent”. - - - buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/…
#Gulen #FETO Large-Sum Contributions To #HillaryClinton Campaign was/is a Confirmed Case- Documented, Confessed to, and Reported by Multiple Heavyweight Publications, including #Wikileaks. Characterizing this fact as “Conspiracy” Makes You Look Like a “Fool” & PR for #Gulen

A packed interfaith memorial service today in #Charlottesville, with clergy from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim and Baha’i traditions set to speak
“We cannot ask You to solve these problems for us, for these gifts are within us.”
a truly gorgeous rendition of “wade in the water,” in a place that has known troubled waters intimately

#Charlottesville 2 yrs old, myths live on. Is it time to consider charging #JasonKessler #UniteTheRight for sedition? His impractical #racist political strategy rejected by vast majority of #Republicans #Democrats, minority groups. "Fire in a crowded theater" is not free speech.
1. The case for sedition rests on premise that #JasonKessler was well aware, by virtue of education, that #UniteTheRight would fail. Motive obscure, but permit was obtained under false pretense. Recent history as #Democrat and #Occupy operative suspicious.
2. Damage to life and property in #Charlottesville rises to the level of a severe disturbance, 3 dead, 19 injured, property damage. #AntifaTerrorists arrival on day 2, not unexpected, showed callous disregard for public safety. Kessler UVA Charlottesville grad knew limitations

One of my big papers last semester was on the history of neighborhood associations in #Charlottesville, and how their use of zoning laws was an extension of the other exclusionary practices they used to keep their neighborhoods wealthy and white.
I am going to create a very long thread highlighting most of what I found. The details in this are obviously very geographically specific, but it is safe to say that the practices and attitudes underlying it can be found all over the country and in the histories of other cities.
This was supposed to be a map-based racial landscape argument, and towards the end I have several maps and images to show the effects of zoning over time in black and white neighborhoods, because it was a lot of work and it looks cool, haha.

THREAD showing evidence I've come across that suggests the recent murder of a young Jewish man in California was committed by a neo-Nazi, possibly as a politically motivated killing. (Sat on this for a week waiting on editors but now bits of the info are already out, so fuck it).
On January 2nd a 19-year-old Jewish man went missing in southern California. He turned up dead on Jan 9th, buried in a shallow grave in Borrego Park (wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3…). A former class-mate was arrested on suspicion of the murder on Jan 12th.
The deceased is Blaze Bernstein and the suspected killer--now charged with the murder--is Sam Woodward, 20. (Referred to here on out as Blaze and Sam). See the next tweet for the LA Times story.
