1. Black Americans, Native Americans and all American People of Color have been the victims of White propaganda for centuries. Race is a fiction but racism is sadly all too real and is advanced by the continuation of the original Big Lie. Study #Anthropology. It can set you free.
2. But it's not limited to Whites. What is happening in China with Uighurs uses the current version of the Big Lie to claim that they're all affiliated with terrorism to justify genocide. Turkey does it with Kurds and @NATO looks on in complic silence.
3. Prior to Xi and his current radical Central Military Commission, the CCP had been less overtly racist. I suspect, as in past times, the growth of Western, in particular, US racism is being met with master race counter-Propaganda. We see it in China, withe radical Hindu
4. extremism in India and in Turkey. We should make the price of Apartheid policies whether in in US Congressional districts, China, India or Turkey economically costly.

1. Return of Yezidi Victims’ Remains to Kocho, Sinjar.

2. Today, the UN Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da’esh/ISIL (UNITAD) worked with the Government of Iraq to return the remains of 104 Yezidis to Kocho, Sinjar to be laid to rest by their loved ones. The United States stands with the

1. The Constitution gives Congress limited immunity on the floor but it's limited to "Speech and Debate." Noteworthy it does not give immunity for votes and does not apply to Treason, Felony or Breach of the Peace. The 8 @SenateGOP and over 100 @HouseGOP can and must be charged.
2. The US treason statute is written in terms of crimes against the individual states. If each state was a victim of these crimes of treason they have jurisdiction to charge them all in state criminal proceedings and issue state arrest warrants for their immediate arrest.
3. And the attack on the Capitol was treason under US law. CJ Marshall who argued against the broad use of treason as a political tool established that these attackers and their leader Donald Trump were engaged in Treason as follows:
“On the contrary, if war be actually levied,

1. I am obviously not in Walter Dellinger's league but I need to comment on one thing he missed about the second Trump impeachment trial.

The Constitution provides two remedies for a sitting president's high crimes and misdemeanors.
2. The first and threshold remedy occurs upon the conviction by 2/3 of the Senate members present. Upon reaching that number and the announcement by the presiding CJ, the defendant becomes a "former president" as a matter of law. Notice is rushed to the @StateDept.
3. You don't get to the second remedy unless and until you reach and establish the first. So, as a matter of law and logic the @SenateGOP position means you can never act to bar a president from future office and strip them of the benefits of being Potus, because at the time

1. McConnell and his masters in the #Koch funding ecosystem have two problems: Being rid of Trump and being rid of the lunatic fringe. If they're smart, they will take the hit from the extreme fringe in their party and in one act rid themselves of both problems.
2. We just witnessed the @HouseGOP vote secretly to support @RepLizCheney. Less than 30% supported her removal. @GOPLeader's support for the lunatic fringe makes him at best a lame duck and more likely teed up for removal. But Trump still hovers over the caucus like a bad dream.
3. Trump's Impeachment trial defended by two of the fringe is likely to be a disaster for the GOP. It will simply prove that Trump attempted a violent overthrow of our Republic. It will reinforce the calls to charge complicit GOP members. The 2022 Cycle @SenateGOP will have to

1. The tone deafness of the @SenateGOP @USChamber caucus is shocking. The 2022 cycle will try to be reelected in the face of overwhelming support for @joeBiden's plan to save America. Democrats & Independents will have a running start & these @SenateGOP will be playing catchup.
2. But this 2022 cycle has another anchor weighing them down. They ran with Donald Trump in 2016. They were exposed to the Russian interference and I believe Kremlin money too. It was injected into the Koch blood stream after the Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016.

1. Attempts to reverse terrorist radicalization often approach the task by trying to change the radical belief system. But folks like Jihadists aren't likely to just change their views. But you can remove one of the key factors leading to radicalization: economic misery. So, you
