President Trump will be a keynote speaker at a hate group’s annual summit tomorrow. No president has ever done that. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017…
Trump is speaking to anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim activists — including members of hate groups — and this isn’t surprising.
Trump has been energizing hate and bigotry in this country since the start of his campaign.
splcenter.org/20170427/100-d…
That hate was in the spotlight when white nationalists descended on Charlottesville, leaving Heather Heyer dead. splcenter.org/news/2017/08/1…
President Trump called these extremists — neo-Nazis, the KKK, the “so-called” alt-right — “very fine” people.
This rhetoric that’s energized white nationalists is also energizing the hate groups attending #VVS17. splcenter.org/values-voter-s…
These groups demonize Muslims and LGBT people. They’ve advocated for the #MuslimBan and the ban on #transgendertroops.
Hate has become mainstream in this country. We are committed to exposing hate + the groups that promote it. #vvs17 splcenter.org/issues/hate-an…
Bigotry is not an American value. #VVS17

Last year, we won a temporary stay of deportation for journalist Manuel Duran, who was arrested in Memphis in April, then detained & threatened with deportation.

This year, we'll keep fighting for immigrants in the Deep South. #SPLCWinterReadingList bit.ly/2Bb112a
Like so many others who have been deported or are detained & awaiting deportation, Manuel Duran would be in grave danger if her were deported from the US. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/1…
Law students volunteered with us to help defend our clients. "Immigration prisons exact an enormous emotional toll, & they make it nearly impossible for prisoners to find legal representation for their asylum cases," one wrote. splcenter.org/attention-on-d…

"Let me be clear: walls work and we have them we are stopping illegals from getting into our country.” — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Let’s be clear: walls don’t work and no human is illegal.
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): How many children 17 years old or younger have died in DHS, ICE or CBP custody since you took office?

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: I will get back you.

That number should be 0.
"I'm not a liar. We've never had a policy of family separation." — DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

We represent parents who have been separated from their children. Secretary Nielsen's claims do not reflect the facts that we are seeing on the ground. bit.ly/2Ltf7iV

Peter Brown is a US citizen who was mistakenly detained by ICE after local sheriffs arrested him. We're suing. npr.org/2018/12/18/677…
In January, 17 Florida counties signed Basic Ordering Agreements, which compensate local sheriffs for their collaboration with ICE. Our lawsuit is the first to challenge a Florida sheriff for unlawfully detaining people at ICE’s request as part of a BOA. splcenter.org/news/2018/12/0…
Peter Brown was released from detention but as a result of the ordeal he lost his job and was unemployed. He also lives with the fear that he’ll be sent away from his family and friends. splcenter.org/seeking-justic…

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

(Thread) Lozansky, the bombing of Kosovo, and that time the Russian "turned" part of a Congressional Delegation.
2. We have been covering the Lozanskyverse for a long time - as evidence by this original deep dive. #TrumpRussia thesternfacts.com/how-one-man-in…
3. There is ONE event - an event that seemed relatively minor at the time - where I speculate that Kompromat was obtained and some congressmen were turned.
