NEW: In a remarkable letter sent to the White House today, @KamalaHarris leads 27 senators in calling for the “immediate removal” of white nationalist Stephen Miller huffpost.com/entry/stephen-…
Leaked emails obtained last month by @splcenter, the letter says, show that “what is driving Mr. Miller” is “not national security, it’s white supremacy—something that has no place in our country, federal government, and especially not the White House.”  huffpost.com/entry/stephen-…
One part of the senators’ letter focuses on how Miller’s “demonstrable white nationalist ideology has been directly translated” into Trump administration policy. huffpost.com/entry/stephen-…
Update on those who have called for Miller to resign/be fired:

-Nearly 40 Dems in Senate

-107 Dems in House

-Over 50 civil rights orgs like @NAACP

-Coalition of Jewish groups

-130k folks who signed @AOC’s petition

-not a single Republican huffpost.com/entry/stephen-…

NEW: @HuffPost, partnering with ProPublica’s @DocumentHate, has created a database of 800 hate incidents over the last 4 years in which perpetrators told their victims some variation of “go back to your country.”
huffpost.com/feature/go-bac…
Here are some of our findings: huffpost.com/feature/go-bac…
Among those victims in our database: Elvis Smith & Robert Peete.

Smith & Peete, talking exclusively to @HuffPost, recount the day last year when a white man near Baltimore told them to "go back to Africa" before shooting Smith in the leg. huffpost.com/feature/go-bac…

In 2016, Steve Bannon called Breitbart a "platform for the alt-right."

In 2017, @Bernstein published a blockbuster piece on how Breitbart was smuggling white nationalism into the mainstream.

Now @facebook is set to list Breitbart as a "trusted" news source
@Bernstein @facebook This is a good example of how social media companies aren't merely complicit in spreading fascist propaganda. They are actively promoting it.
And here's @Bernstein's piece if you haven't read it in a while buzzfeednews.com/article/joseph…

A quick thread on Portland and the distortions of Andy Ngo, who was not at Saturday's rally.
Man in the blue hat? Gregory Issacson, an alt-right Holocaust-denying troll w ties to Patriot Prayer & Identity Evropa.

Antifa didn't "find" him. He deliberately provoked all day. Rode his bike into the middle of black bloc protesters. Sprayed in face? Yes... with silly string
Here's an article about Isaacson: portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2019/…

1/ Just a reminder that the folks who refuse to call Donald Trump a racist, thought Barack Obama was one. Why? Here's a short list: 1) Because of a small tax on tanning bed visits (bc "only white people" use these)...

2/ ...and bc he criticized the unjustified arrest of Henry Louis Gates in his own home even tho Gates committed no crime. Right wingers said this proved he was trying to "destroy a white officer," and "hated white people" (Glenn Beck)

3/ ...and bc he deliberately tried to tank the economy as a way to pay white people back for slavery...(Limbaugh)

Senator #ElizabethWarren w/ #JohnMcCain👇in #Kabul Jul 5, 2017
"The time for a strategy has come, we need a strategy in the #UnitedStates that defines our role in #Afghanistan, defines our objective & explains how are we going to get from here to there," said Warren🤨?

Senate now voting to confirm Michael Park to be a lifetime judge on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

His record includes defending Trump's decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census + representing Kansas' (failed) effort to defund Planned Parenthood.
Like the vast majority of Trump's court picks, Park is young (43), ideological and a Federalist Society member.

He's also getting confirmed over the objections of both of his home-state senators. 4th time that's ever happened. Yesterday was the 3rd time. huffpost.com/entry/mitch-mc…
Michael Park confirmed, 52-41.

Party-line vote.
