We need to hold @SenRonJohnson accountable to this. Flood his office with calls. Demand he vote to allow firsthand witnesses like Bolton to testify. Anything less is a cover-up: (202) 224-5323

nationalreview.com/news/ron-johns…
@SenRonJohnson If you can't get through to his DC office, keep trying!

Milwaukee: (414) 276-7282
Oshkosh: (920) 230-7250
Madison: (608) 240-9629
If you’re not a Wisconsinite, don’t call Johnson—call your own senators. The switchboard is 202-224-3121.

If you ARE in WI, call Johnson today and set a reminder on your phone to call every weekday.

And everyone should also use @resistbot: text RESIST to 50409.

It's far from the spotlight, in a news hurricane. But what Trump is threatening to do to Hmong Americans—including here in Wisconsin—is unconscionable. Hundreds of Wisconsinites could be deported and face persecution and even death. We stand with them.
wsaw.com/content/news/O…
Trump's gearing up to betray Hmong refugees—a community that fought and died in support of the United States decades ago—in a slow-motion betrayal just as vicious and potentially deadly as his betrayal of the Kurds. It must stop now.
wpr.org/hmong-leaders-…
The Hmong community is an essential part of the fabric of Wisconsin. Trump’s attempt to tear Hmong families apart is also an attempt to tear Wisconsin apart. We are greater than his hate, greater than his fear, and we will win.

LIVE: Kicking off Wisconsin’s first statewide canvass of 2020 with a neighborhood team in Middleton—one of 100+ happening today! We’re making sure Dems know Trump endorsed Dan Kelly for Supreme Court this April 7—and that every vote will count! pscp.tv/w/cQ7VCjIyMDc3…
Matt and I hit some doors together. He’s been canvassing since 2016. What we found: when folks hear that Donald Trump endorsed Dan Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court, they know exactly how they’re gonna vote on April 7. The person whose name doesn’t start with “D.”
Well over 100 @WisDems canvass events across Wisconsin today to jump start 2020. Not too late to go out and join a team. Find one near you! Wisdems.org/victory

If politics is making you angry, come knock doors in Wisconsin this weekend. We've got more than 100 canvass launch locations on Saturday. First time? We'll train you. Dress warm. Spread the word. RSVP here: wisdems.org/victory
If politics is making you anxious, sad, tired, mad—reenergize and renew your hope by going out and talking to actual voters. There's nothing like action to get you out of your feelings and into the world. wisdems.org/victory
Wisconsin has a state Supreme Court election 60 days from this Saturday. Donald Trump endorsed the Walker-appointed incumbent, Dan Kelly. Anyone voting in the presidential primary should know that Trump's guy is on the ballot too. Help us spread the word.

So the @SenateGOP caucus isn't upset that the Trump White House lied... they're upset that the Trump White House lied *to them*.

#Bolton
@SenateGOP "We were helping you with the cover-up! How could you lie to us and make us look bad?!??!"
@SenateGOP The Trump White House has habitually lied to *everybody* over the past three years; did GOP Senators honestly think they were somehow exempt from this treatment?

📖 🧨 Bolton’s Knives Out for Giuliani & Trump >> Trump Tied Ukraine Aid to Bogus Investigations, Rudy wanted to get rid of Yovanovitch for his own clients, Bolton says in explosive new book. 🍿 nytimes.com/2020/01/26/us/…
Stunning deception & bad faith from Trump's lawyers, arguing before the Chief Justice, the Senate & the public to exclude witnesses, knowing—for weeks—that Bolton testimony crushes Trump defense. They're aiding obstruction & asking Senators to do the same! Bolton must testify now
Trump told Bolton he wanted to freeze aid til Ukraine investigated Biden & Crowdstrike—both bogus. Bolton is a direct fact witness to the QPQ. AND proves corruption & burden sharing were pretexts. WH had Bolton manuscript, so WH lawyers knowingly lied to Senate. #ImpeachmentTrial

Never, for a second, forget that Hillary got 2.86 MILLION more votes. Nor that Trump received a smaller share of the vote than Mitt Romney.

Nor that it was followed by record-setting turnout midterms where Democrats won 40 seats with a popular mandate to hold Trump accountable.
And certainly don't forget that Trump's "win" was fueled by multiple proven criminal conspiracies, including one directed by him to cover up infidelity and corroborating evidence of sexual assault.
The guy who managed Trump's campaign is now in prison.

The guy who covered up Trump's affairs is now in prison.

The guy who gave Trump foreknowledge of Wikileaks drops is now headed to prison.

The guy who got tipped about the Comey letter is under criminal investigation.

I pray for the oppressed & #Flood -stricken people of #Iran, for our occupied homeland & for our country which is burning in the fire of repression, poverty & destruction.
maryam-rajavi.com/en/item/maryam…
#Ramadan is the month of solidarity among people, so that people’s hearts could get closer during common rituals & they could love one another, & so that ill will, spite and discord promoted by the #Iran mullahs would no longer have any place among people.
In #Ramadan we remember the hungry and the poor, victims of floods & earthquake who have lost their homes under the mullahs’ rule, those who sell their kidneys out of extreme poverty, the workers & unemployed who cannot not afford to feed their children.

I know many, many good men. But the Q behind "toxic masculinity" isn't whether good men outnumber bad. It's how we respond to pathological men. Do we excuse/overlook their behavior or hold them accountable? Our communal record suggests former, especially if they are powerful.
In last few years, US has been rocked by scandal after scandal, cover-up after cover-up--from sports to Hollywood to politics to the church--suggesting a pervasive cultural blindness toward pathological men.

IOW: When you are powerful, you can do what you want.
Or in these notorious words: "When you're a star, they let you do it."

Only, "they" here more accurately means all of us together.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
