Fifteen minutes before Brexit, the US Senate just voted to cover up the crimes of this President, which will lead to his acquittal.

The end of checks and balances, and therefore American democracy, installs a dictator, at nearly the exact moment the UK flushes its future.
And not to put too fine a point on this: the impact of this on global security, climate change, the international economy, and the future of humanity will be altered forever by the course of events that have taken place today.

It's nothing short of horrifying.
(And I'm taking a break until I can string a sentence together correctly again.)

Trying to explain propaganda from the President to your kids during a Super Bowl party, let alone when football is otherwise banned in our house, is something else.

We have moved to a movie.
The Addams Family.

Less frightening than that ad by a long-shot.
This gets me in trouble every year on this day, but/and:

-the @NFL banned Kap for taking the knee

-it routinely excuses domestic violence

-TBIs are an epidemic in the league

-white owners profiting off black bodies that are sacrificed to violence is racist

THREAD.

Yesterday, I said to @waltshaub that organizing for an election is “easy.”

He called me out a little on it, which was smart.

Overnight, I realized that as someone who org’d a mass mobilization and has trained 1000s of women to organize, I should share some thoughts.
1. Now is the time (really it was last year but now is fine) to get involved in your local Democratic Party machine. Many may not realize that in even the reddest of red America, most places have a local Democratic Party at the county level. It may not be robust, but it’s there.
I have spoken to quite a few women who have gotten involved at a local level and absolutely transformed an old school Dem party structure from the inside out, btw— taking over and modernizing ground game operations that may be out of date or just not passionate. You can do this.

Honestly, this is dead on, and quite women should read it and maybe understand what the term centering really means.
Also, I used to do this kind of shit.

You live and learn.

#Brexit #thread
1/ If you don’t follow Brexit every day, here’s some advice. Let go of any illusions that this drama is about trade protocols, residency rights or the status of the Irish border. Brexit is the story of a proud former imperial power undergoing a mid-life crisis
2/ The rest of the world is left listening to Britain’s therapy session as they drone on about their ex-spouse, unable to see, admit or address their own flaws.
3/ The promise of Brexit was that it would make Britain feel big again. “Britain is special,” the Brexiteers assured British voters, who cast their ballots accordingly. But Brexit has proven that for the first time in modern history, Britain is small.

@kylegriffin1 @maddow We had Trump with an unprecedented meeting with Putin in Helsinki amid an investigation of his attack on the United States, & Trump with his treasonous comments siding with Putin over U.S. intelligence. Evidence builds daily implicating Trump's complicity, corruption and crime.
@kylegriffin1 @maddow And what are the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Republicans investigating? #HerEmails. The House Republican Judiciary and Intelligence committees were negligent in their investigations, delinquent in their duties to the United States and oath of office by their obstruction.
@kylegriffin1 @maddow The House Republicans and those in the Senate who continue to try to obstruct an investigation in the attack on the U.S.A. by a hostile adversary and who continue to attempt to cover for those who were complicit conspirators should be censured.

"#Brexit and EU agencies", our extensive look into third country relationships of the 36 EU agencies and how the UK might fit in.

swp-berlin.org/fileadmin/cont…

Albeit largely technical, agencies will have huge implications on Brexit.

Five points stand out in particular:
First, Agencies matter. Like the customs union, they are a technical aspect of the EU, that works and was thus hardly discussed in the UK before #Brexit.
But they are important for single market, but also justice and home affairs.

UK gov thus has already asked to continue participation in selected agencies, in particular in sectors important to the UK economy, like aviation, chemicals or pharma.
