If you're merely flagged by #Crosscheck in IN you're automatically—without any due process—scrubbed from voter rolls gregpalast.com/civil-rights-g…
But thanks to a lawsuit brought by @BrennanCenter on behalf of the @NAACP & @LWV this is being challenged in court gregpalast.com/civil-rights-g…
Read the full complaint—which cites our work & states "#Crosscheck is unreliable & discriminatory in practice"—here gregpalast.com/civil-rights-g…

In Michigan, #Crosscheck flagged 449,922 voters & tens of thousands were removed. #Trump's victory margin was only 13,107. #TrumpStoleIt
Busted: #Crosscheck risks severe, discriminatory disenfranchisement of registered voters in violation of federal law gregpalast.com/finally-busted/
Forget the Pulitzer. The @NAACP's legal citation is the best prize of all. gregpalast.com/finally-busted/ #Resist #Crosscheck #VoterSuppression

Ho ho ho! Now that #BrianKemp is no longer #Georgia's Secretary of State, his office has informed the Palast Investigative Fund attorneys that they are throwing in the towel in the Palast & Butler v. Kemp suit we filed in Atlanta Federal Court in October. gregpalast.com/look-what-sant…
This opens up the remainder of #BrianKemp’s infamous, racially-poisonous voter purge files. Specifically, #Georgia will produce the hidden #Crosscheck purge files given to Kemp by #KrisKobach of Kansas — files Kemp’s flunkies told us had been “lost.” gregpalast.com/our-lawsuit-ag…
This data, which we will be analyzing is, as one of #StaceyAbrams attorney told me, “a gold mine” which can be critical in the law suit brought by her organization #FairFightGeorgia and in the fight to beat back New #JimCrow vote suppression. gregpalast.com/stacey-abrams-…

#Georgia: The mystery of the 100,000 missing votes for Lieutenant Governor — Greg Palast talks to @Thom_Hartmann
Just look at the numbers, they speak for themselves: results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/91639/Web02…
People said, 'Oh, I'm so excited about changing administration, but I’m not going to vote for #StaceyAbrams running mate?!?’ That’s like voting for President, and not voting for Vice President. [See drop off rate from Governor to Lt Governor and how it recovers down the ticket.]

Poppy Strikes Gold: Bush Sr. Made a Killing – 50 Miners Buried Alive gregpalast.com/poppy-strikes-…
While pundits are falling all over themselves spewing about the “civility” of the patrician George H. W. Bush, l must honor the memory those 50 men who were buried alive in a gold field in Africa so Bush Sr. could cash in. gregpalast.com/the-truth-buri…
To me, this is the most important story of my career — and almost ended it when Bush’s gold mining company (I bet you didn’t know he had one) sued my paper, The Guardian, threatening it with bankruptcy for telling the truth. gregpalast.com/the-truth-buri…

From the NBA Chairman, Akure Branch:

RE: ARRAIGNMENT OF HIS LORDSHIP, HON. JUSTICE WALTER SAMUEL ONNOGHEN, CJN:
LET THE LAW BE THE GUIDE.

Divergent reactions have greeted the news filtering in that the the Chief Justice of Nigeria, .
His Lorsship, Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen will be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Bureau on Monday 14th January. Surprisingly, these reactions, coming from lawyers, are not based on law as it is. Most opinions and condemnations being voiced out are based on emotions,
sentiments, political affiliation and all you can think of but law.

The starting point is to examine the proposed charge(s) against His Lordship. From reports made available, the CJN is alleged to have maintained foreign accounts and domiciliary accounts in foreign currency;

It is hard to explain just how mean-spirited and malevolent the administration's asylum/ family position is. Just know that while Trump is no rocket scientist (or attorney), the folks sitting behind him waxing their metaphorical mustaches are brilliant and evil.
1/ the law establishes that those seeking admission to the United States (even without proper documents) are entitled to a "credible fear" review which is a screening test to then allow them to apply for asylum.
2/ We know that many people arriving at the US/Mexico border are fleeing horrific conditions that have pushed them into taking a perilous ride to the US because they fear they will be killed by gangs, their own government, or domestic abusers. These threats are VERY real.

1. As a reformed liberal, much of my personal social media feed is still a showcase of this particular brand of mental illness. One of the latest bits of propaganda I've seen circulating is an animated video from a far-left blog that details "How to defeat authoritarianism."
2. It's #Resist pravda. There's not much of a subtext at all, because it depicts with cute accompanying illustrations how Trump uses each of these 5 time-tested techniques that "all authoritarians use."
3. Unfortunately for Act.tv, the only thing that it does with any degree of competency is show how blind most leftists are to the actual, real-life implementation of authoritarianism.

This commentary on the European Commission’s Communication ‘Tackling Illegal Content Online’ has just entered my top 10 all time posts. At 8,500 words admittedly it’s on the long side. So here goes a threaded summary. cyberleagle.com/2017/10/toward…
1/20 The EU Council Freedom of Expression Guidelines stress the importance of “protecting intermediaries from the obligation of blocking Internet content without prior due process.”
2/20 ‘Tackling Illegal Content Online’ institutionalises the opposite: prior restraint instead of prior due process. Small wonder they deleted a previously leaked draft’s reference to the Guidelines.

The Garza hearing starts now. I'll be live tweeting whether Trump administration can force an undocumented minor to give birth.
Government starts by saying it is not preventing Garza from getting an abortion just that they are not facilitating it. Sound familiar?
Government claims there is no undue burden and the only reason she can't get an abortion is because she happens to be detained.
