1. It's important to understand that the 2000 mile border wall is not Trump's idea.

It is Steve King's idea. How do I know? I wrote about it 13 YEARS AGO.

King went to the House floor and actually constructed a model wall.

2. Here is what King said July 11, 2006: "So when I get down there and sit on that border, what I do is I come to this conclusion, we can’t shut that off unless we build a fence and a wall. I want to put the fence in, but I want to put a wall in, and I designed one. "
3. More King (7/11/06): "Our little construction company could build a mile a day of this pretty easily, once you’ve got your system going. The whole two thousand miles are not going to work that way, but a lot of it will work this way"

The government is shut down because Trump wants to build Steve King’s wall
IDEA: Stop letting a Congressman who openly embraced white supremacy to set the nation’s policy agenda
LISTEN UP WHITE SUPREMACISTS: There is no place for you in Republican Party except co-chair of a major presidential campaign, chair of a prestigious subcommittee, support from the POTUS, and setting the policy agenda for the entire party

The FBI set former national security advisor Michael Flynn up.
(2 of 4) That is about all we can make of the latest revelation that the FBI made serious breaches of protocol when it set up the Jan. 24, 2017, meeting with Flynn to ask him about his Dec. 2016 conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kisylak.
(3 of 4) We now know the FBI did not go through the White House counsel first, suggest Flynn have a lawyer present, or advise him of his rights prior to the interview. Former FBI director James Comey even appeared on MSNBC to brag about the breach.

"#Nationalism" is not patriotism. It is not pride in one's country, it is not belief in your ideals, it is not wanting what is best for your country. It is not the antonym of "#Globalism". Be aware of its true meaning. 1/
The #Nationalist believes in the inherent superiority of their tribe. That could be simply everyone born under a certain flag or king, but Nationalists are often quick to say that "certain" people who look, pray, or believe differently aren't "real" citizens of their nation. 2/
Since #Nationalism believes "goodness" and "right" are inherent to a tribal identity, it has been used since the days of Napoleon to justify conquest and oppression, even on the race occasions it hasn't been deeply intertwined with racial tribalism. 3/

They don’t think they’re stupid, they KNOW they’re racist and xenophobic.
I said this in 2016 and will keep saying it until it sinks in. LEARN THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY, it’s the *only* strategy the GOP’s had for 50+ years now and it works b/c mainstream White fragility refuses to believe that racism shapes American politics.
YES, they are fearmongering about Latino/Muslim refugees/immigrants 2 weeks before an election. How the fuck else do y’all expect the 90+% White GOP to rally its racist base? 🤷🏾‍♀️ What the fuck else do they even have to offer the deplorables but a culture war? Not a damn thing.

The Suffocation of Democracy

1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

LOOKING FOR LOST HEIRS
by Pastor Bertrand L. Comparet,A.B., J.D.

Have you ever stopped to question the intense hatred there is in the world for #white #Christians?
"The written intention of our heavenly Father #Yahweh is expressed in His prayer when we pray, Thy will be done on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN.
"In keeping with this, is #Yahshua's [Jesus'] statement that #Yahweh's servants have been on earth for thousands of years.
