Are you putting money into the pockets of a pro-Trump Fox News host? You are if you support Democratic candidates through @Crowdpac. Crowdpac CEO @SteveHiltonx regularly attacks Democrats and progressives during his Fox News appearances. medium.com/@GeorgeLakoff/… #DumpCrowdpac
Crowdpac CEO Hilton's specialties:
1. Attacking our immigrant communities and supporting Trump’s bigoted immigration policies.

2. Attacking unions.

3. Parroting NRA talking points on gun violence.
Yet as CEO of Crowdpac— a political fundraising platform — Hilton makes money off of Democratic political campaigns. The very candidates and policies he attacks on Fox News are paying him a percentage when they use his platform!
Here's what you can do:

1. Boycott Crowdpac. Give directly to your candidates or use @actblue.

2. Ask Democratic candidates to #DropCrowdpac.

3. Spread the word. Tell your friends and family that Crowdpac’s CEO attacks our values and does not deserve our financial support.

“We’ve got to remember what the Republican Party is about.” - @BobCorker
For those in need of a refresher, here is the hierarchy underlying the conservative worldview (as outlined in my 1996 book "Moral Politics.")
For a deeper reading of why Trump appeals to Republicans, read "Understanding Trump" (written in June 2016, when most political experts thought his campaign was a joke): georgelakoff.com/2016/07/23/und…
If you prefer audio, you can also listen to Episode 1 of the FrameLab podcast: "How Republicans Really Think" soundcloud.com/user-253479697…

When hate is physically in your brain, then you think hate and feel hate, and you are moved to act to carry out what you physically - in your neural system - think and feel. medium.com/@GeorgeLakoff/…
Like violence, hate speech can also be a physical imposition on the freedom of others. That is because language has a psychological effect imposed physically — on the neural system, with long-term crippling effects.
Language neurally activates thought. Language can thus change brains, both for better and worse. Hate speech changes the brains of those hated for the worse, creating toxic stress, fear and distrust — all physical, all in one’s neural circuitry active every day.

The press becomes complicit with Trump when it amplifies his lies.
Time for new rules to counteract Trump's anti-democratic strategy. washingtonpost.com/news/politics/…
He’s made it clear that he considers himself above both the law and the truth. As president of the United States, anything he says – true or false – is faithfully parroted by the press. This must change. theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #ProtectTheTruth
It's time to adapt to his anti-democratic strategy. Starting ideas:
1. Learn how propaganda works and how he weaponizes words
2. Focus on the fact that democracy is under attack. This is a crisis
3. Stop letting him control every news cycle
4. Don't spread his lies

#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.

Here's the thing about a big tent party: we've got progressives (defined by a number of different groups), centrists, Bernie Dems and Blue Dogs. And we've got voters in different districts that support all of them.

But we also share some very important commons beliefs:
We believe that every American should have equal rights and opportunities; that we shouldn't separate families; that we want more Americans to vote, not fewer; that health care should be a priority; and that workers rights should matter more than the profits of big business.
We believe in a free press. We believe Nazis are NOT fine people. We find it easy to call out white supremacists. We think we should do something about a hostile foreign power interfering in our elections--and that something isn't inviting them to the White House.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
