Would very much like to know why @CNN accepted a massive ad buy for tonight's #DemocraticDebate from an actual bona fide hate group founded and supported by white nationalists
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2011…
mediamatters.org/numbersusa/us-…
americasvoice.org/blog/tanton-ha…
While @splcenter has not designated NumbersUSA a hate group (unlike sister orgs CIS and FAIR, neither of which should ever be relied on as good faith or credible sources), its racist origins, white supremacist ties, & tired old "colorblind" nativist tropes are enough imo

I mean really though
If I had a client who so much as attempted to place a call to an eyewitness in a pending misdemeanor SHOPLIFTING case to even politely request that he not show in court he could be charged w/obstruction, let alone attempting to block witnesses & docs from a Congressional subpoena

You know who else gets "weary and bored"? Actual jurors. For weeks at a time, while considering matters far less consequential than this.

This really gets me going.

#ImpeachmentTrial
Here's something I think about way too often: Apple forced not one but *four* juries to sit through endless technical testimony in its Dickensian battle to prove that Samsung stole its idea of a phone constituting a "rectangle with rounded corners."

Jury duty is good and honorable service, and hard work. Lives and livelihoods depend on regular citizens paying close attention and weighing the evidence before them. Congress should, if anything, be held to a much higher standard.

1/ I just won my first case under the Trump admin's new rule barring anyone who entered after 7/16/19 from #asylum--but leaving them eligible for other limited forms of protection.

It's a strange feeling of having won & lost at the same time. Happy, but not celebratory.
2/ My client is from a country in crisis, which he fled after being kidnapped & tortured by govt-affiliated forces for his anti-regime activity.

This would usually be a fairly clear-cut case of political asylum. But not under this administration.
3/ The new Trump rule makes anyone who didn't seek asylum in another country first ineligible for #asylum--but (as required by intl law) still allows them "withholding of removal," a far more tenuous status which, unlike asylum, does not put recipients on a path to citizenship.

.@Hatewatch reviewed over 900 previously private emails Stephen Miller sent to Breitbart during the run-up to the 2016 election.

Miller shared white nationalist material. He pushed racist stories.

Read part 1 of our investigation here: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
If Miller has the policy brain behind many of Trump's policies, here is what he has been feeding it, according to our findings:

-VDARE
-American Renaissance
-Camp of the Saints
-Infowars
-Authors who traffic in race science
-Eugenics-era immigration law
If you don’t know what The Camp of the Saints is — I have taken the liberty of preparing a sidebar for you.

Miller’s story suggestion about it turned into a Breitbart story written by Julia Hahn.

The book dehumanizes non-white immigrants:

The following is a timeline of instances of #extremism in the Trump administration in September 2019.
Trump has opened the White House doors to #extremism, not only consulting with #hategroups on policies that erode our country’s civil rights protections ... splcenter.org/20171004/frequ…

Here's Lauren Southern, the woman @realDonaldTrump retweeted this morning, chatting up her campaign to block seagoing refugees in the Mediterranean in 2017. She and her partner here, Brittany Pettibone, are both dedicated white nationalists.

splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018…
From the SPLC piece:
I also photographed Southern as one of the attendees at perhaps the most violent of the alt-right shit shows I have covered: April 15, 2017, in Berkeley.

@PineStreetInn 1/ Thank you!

For your reference, the group Burleson is associated with is Resist Marxism, whose white nationalist ties have been well-documented in the national press. thinkprogress.org/resist-marxism…
@PineStreetInn 2/ The original coalition of groups features Patriot Prayer, with whom RM rallied on 10/6/18, and whose members have been involved in a string of violent incidents across the Pacific Northwest since last spring.
@PineStreetInn 3/ The groups are so close that RM even brought Joey Gibson to speak in Providence on 10/6/18.

For more on Patriot Prayer's violence in recent weeks, see here: itsgoingdown.org/were-gonna-hur…

Gab still brims with hate, celebrations of domestic terrorism, and extremist organizing.

The website is bleeding money but survives thanks to an Obama-era law and the crowdfunding company @StartEngineLA.

@Hatewatch went deep into the site's financials:
splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
There's a lot in here, so I'm going to pull out some specifics. We now know what was already assumed about Gab: Alleged Tree of Life killer Robert Bowers used the websites internal messaging service to plot with other extremists: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
We also have confirmed Gab's host. That's Sibyl Systems LTD.

Sibyl is doing the work of preserving those posts that celebrate Timothy McVeigh, Anders Behring Breivik, and Dylann Roof and helping to give Gab its basic infrastructure right now: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…

Video obtained by @buzzfeednews shows former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos singing for a Nazi-saluting crowd.
—showing hypocrisy of Breitbart’s assertions that “Milo is NOT a white nationalist, nor a member of the alt right.”
buzzfeed.com/josephbernstei…
Yiannopoulos’ career has been a tightrope walk staying “if not clean, then clean enough” of open white supremacy.
