This year, Americans like you can play a vital role in the fight to #ProtectTheVote by asking your state and local election officials if they are following the steps below! bit.ly/2yuLScq
Step 1: If your jurisdiction uses electronic voting machines, ask if local officials provide each polling site with enough emergency paper ballots for 2-3 hours of peak voting in case of machine malfunctions or failures.
Step 2: If your jurisdiction uses electronic pollbooks to check voters in, ask whether local election officials keep paper backup of electronic pollbooks in the polling place.

On this fifth anniversary of the #ShelbyCountyvHolder decision and today's ruling in #AbbottvPerez—another voting rights decision that comes at a "serious cost" to our democracy—take some time to read our "Democracy Diminished" report: bit.ly/2KiTaVD. #RestoreTheVote
In the #ShelbyCountyvHolder decision, #SCOTUS gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Section 5 acted as a crucial checkpoint for democracy, "stopping discriminatory voting laws before any election." #RestoreTheVote nytimes.com/2017/12/11/opi…
Since #ShelbyCountyvHolder, LDF has been monitoring state & local threats to voting, paying close attention to the states & localities that previously had to seek pre-approval of any voting changes as had been required by a fully-functioning #VRA. #RestoreTheVote

Haley: “The CIA has invested in… Diversity and Inclusion… This is not only because is it the right thing to do, but also because the diversity of CIA’s workforce has direct implications for US policy abroad.”

Folks, get this! There are only TWO suspended lakes in the world and one of them is in Nigeria 😍 Yesterday, I went hiking there and you know if I see something good, I will share it with you.

This is ''A Hiker’s Guide to Oke Ado Awaye & Iyake Lake — Nigeria.'

[A Thread]
1. What's the hype?

What’s the hype about this mountain? Iyake lake on Oke Ado Awaye is one of only two recognized suspended lakes in the world. A suspended lake is described as a lake found on top of a mountain. What a rare wonder.

2. After 35 yrs of not having a king, Ado has been a quiet community. Today, the Alaado is excited about the prospects that the mountain and suspended lake could mean for the community.

Worried that @realDonaldTrump could launch a nuclear war? @RepTedLieu and @SenMarkey's bipartisan bill would prevent @POTUS from launching a nuclear first strike w/o Congressional authorization. Congress must act now to preserve global stability & pass our bill. RT if you agree.
#HR669 continues to gain support from Members of Congress who agree that Congress must be a check on @POTUS authority to use nuclear weapons. Is yours one of them? Check here: bit.ly/2qm9OuN. #NoFirstUse
Thank you to the following Members of Congress for supporting #HR669:
✅@RepMcGovern
