The GOP planned in advance - back in February - to challenge Trump’s impending electoral defeat. ALEC and the CNP are dangerous anti-democratic institutions. 1/
2/ “ALEC President Lisa Nelson addressed a CNP gathering in February, saying that her group had drafted letters that state lawmakers could send to their secretaries of state to challenge the election results in order to install Trump electors.” exposedbycmd.org/2020/12/11/con…
If you don’t know who the CNP is, you should read up. I wrote this a few years ago. 3/ link.medium.com/AkKTPJSoacb

😳February 2020 (advance planning): “Nelson, who runs... (ALEC) & is a member of CNP, told the group, ‘obviously we all want...Trump to win...But it’s very clear..that really what it comes down to is the states & the state legislators.” by @JamieMCorey 7/

Paul Manafort, a convicted felon, was allowed to go home with a GPS. But the Trump administration forces asylum seekers from Cameroon—who are not criminals—to remain in detention in harsh conditions for years on end, only to deport many of them anyway. 1/
On the return flight, these asylum seekers are treated like violent criminals, with their hands shackled to their legs. What kind of a country does this to people fleeing violent conditions? We don't treat animals with such cruelty. 2/
The Trump administration has tortured these asylym seekers. It is despicable. When I said they kept them detained 4 years, I meant years. Imagine having to live in a detention center year after year only to be deported in shackles to the dangerous situation from which u fled. 3/

More human rights abuses. The Trump administration has rejected most asylum applications from Cameroonians, despite keeping the asylum seekers in detention centers for years, economically benefiting detention-center owners. - Jacqueline NDIToko, Cameroonian American Counsel 1/
I discussed this humane treatment today with Jacqueline and with Selena Keesecker of the Guadalupe Presbyterian Church. Selena told me that some of these asylum seekers are kept in detention centers for three years or more. 2/
3/ Asylum seekers are returned to Cameroon on lengthy fights with their hands shackled to their legs. Asylum seekers aren't criminals, but the Trump administration has treated them as if they are.

Remember when Trump wanted to form a cybersecurity unit w/ Putin AFTER Russia was confirmed to have attacked our election infrastructure? (Publicly confirmed thx to the report leaked by #RealityWinner). Russia even installed malware. And now Rs have the audacity to do this. ⬇️ 1/ Image

“Journalists typically cover contentious issues by giving both sides equal attention.” But on issues of science & fact, such as climate change, this can create a false “impression there’s a 50/50 debate among experts, rather than the 97% scientific consensus.” - @crankyuncles 1/
.@crankyuncles is a fantastic book written & illustrated by @johnfocook about climate change and the strategies used by purveyors of misinformation. I highly recommend it. 2/ amazon.com/Cranky-Uncle-v…
“Fake experts are people who convey the appearance of expertise without possessing any actual relevant expertise... The tobacco industry mastered this strategy in the 1970s,” & called it the “Whitecoat Project.” - @crankyuncles book by @johnfocook 3/

“Newly Surfaced Recording Reveals ALEC and GOP Election Attorneys [and the CNP] Working with State Legislators to Question Validity of Election” — in February, long before the election took place. By ⁦@JamieMCorey⁩ 1/ documented.net/2020/10/newly-…

I and others have been sounding the alarm about the CNP for years. I wrote this on Medium. The CNP is a frightening & stealth group, an alliance between so-called “religious freedom” Religious Right leaders and so-called “economic freedom” billionaires. 3/ link.medium.com/SJCGaWvracb
