Voter disenfranchisement, voter purges and even election fraud are becoming common tools of the Republican party, but this little known article in the 14th Amendment could punish states that kick eligible voters off the roll...
The 14th Amendment allows states to be punished for purging voters, and if used it could have changed the result of many elections. Do you think states should be punished for election fraud?
How can we protect the right to vote?

Trump Could Make Therapy Lead To Deportation Or Prison
In Donald Trump's America, seeing a therapist can now be grounds for deportation and it could set the precedent for political prosecution. Thom explains.
Therapy is supposed to be confidential but ICE is using the private notes from therapists as justification to deport people and go after their families.
And if ICE and the Trump administration can go after therapy notes, then it is possible for them to do the same to lock up political opponents, dissidents and more.
How far will Trump go and what can we do to stop him and ICE?

Does Saving The Planet Means Banning Humans From Large Parts Of It?
Do we need to shut out humans and human activity from large parts of the planet to protect biodiversity? Thom Hartmann explains!
Biodiversity is the measure of how diverse an ecosystem is and the more diverse, the stronger it is. Human activity has limited biodiversity and some have a plan to fix it. Simply ban human activity from large parts of the earth. No cars, construction, planes, powerlines and no people.
What do you think? Can closing off humans from parts of the planet save us?

Why Only One Bank Will Loan Money to Trump! [[w/ David Enrich)

David Enrich, author of Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an epic trail of destruction, joined Thom Hartmann to discuss Donald Trump, his relationship with Deutsche Bank and whether Trump actually has a negative net worth.

Deutsche Banks Dark Connection To Donald Trump
Why will only this one bank loan to Donald Trump? What are its connections to Russian oligarchs?
Thom Hartmann reads from.... Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction by David Enrich.
From the publisher:
""In Dark Towers, David Enrich tells the story of how one of the world's mightiest banks careened off the rails, threatening everything from our financial system to our democracy through its reckless entanglement with Donald Trump. Darkly fascinating and yet all too real, it's a tale that will keep you up at night." [[John Carreyrou, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times best-selling author of Bad Blood)
A searing exposé of the most scandalous bank in the world, including its shadowy ties to Donald Trump's business empire.
On a rainy Sunday in 2014, a senior executive at Deutsche Bank was found hanging in his London apartment. Bill Broeksmit had helped build the 150-year-old financial institution into a global colossus, and his sudden death was a mystery, made more so by the bank's efforts to deter investigation. Broeksmit, it turned out, was a man who knew too much.
In Dark Towers, award-winning journalist David Enrich reveals the truth about Deutsche Bank and its epic path of devastation. Tracing the bank's history back to its propping up of a default-prone American developer in the 1880s, helping the Nazis build Auschwitz, and wooing Eastern Bloc authoritarians, he shows how in the 1990s, via a succession of hard-charging executives, Deutsche made a fateful decision to pursue Wall Street riches, often at the expense of ethics and the law.
Soon, the bank was manipulating markets, violating international sanctions to aid terrorist regimes, scamming investors, defrauding regulators, and laundering money for Russian oligarchs. Ever desperate for an American foothold, Deutsche also started doing business with a self-promoting real estate magnate nearly every other bank in the world deemed too dangerous to touch: Donald Trump. Over the next 20 years, Deutsche executives loaned billions to Trump, the Kushner family, and an array of scandal-tarred clients, including convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Dark Towers is the never-before-told saga of how Deutsche Bank became the global face of financial recklessness and criminality - the corporate equivalent of a weapon of mass destruction. It is also the story of a man who was consumed by fear of what he'd seen at the bank - and his son's obsessive search for the secrets he kept."

Thom Hartmann With Pramila Jayapal: The Hidden War On Voting
Total duration 1 hour 27 minutes:
Donald Trump was elected by only 26 percent of eligible voters. In America today, only a slim majority of people register to vote and a large percentage of registered voters don’t bother to show up at all. And according to progressive radio host Thom Hartmann, this low turnout is unfortunately not a bug in our system—it’s a feature.
Hartmann joins us at Town Hall to demystify strategies and tactics that conservative elites in our country have used to protect their interests by preventing “the wrong people”—such as the poor, women, and people of color—from voting, while making it easier for the wealthy and white. He lays out simple, common sense ways that we the people can fight back and reclaim our right to rule through the ballot box. Take an unblinking look at our country’s voting system, and explore what we can do to ensure everyone has a voice in this democracy.
Thom Hartmann is a progressive national and internationally syndicated talk show host and bestselling author of 24 books, including The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, The Hidden History of Guns and the Second Amendment, The Last Hours of Humanity: Warming the World to Extinction, and Rebooting the American Dream: 11 Ways to Rebuild Our Country.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal is the representative for Washington’s 7th District, which encompasses most of Seattle and surrounding areas. She is the first South Asian American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and one of only 14 naturalized citizens currently serving in the United States Congress.

Does Sanders' Tax Plan Work? We Do The Math!
Bernie Sanders wants Americans to get free healthcare, college, and more but some pundits and political opponents suggest the math doesn't work. Thom Hartmann does the math and proves that Bernie Sanders' plans work great!
Thom Hartmann proves that Bernie Sanders' plan to revitalize the middle class will work by proving how the Reagan Era tax cuts gutted the American dream. Sanders' plan will bring America closer to pre-Reagan era taxes.
Bernie Sanders' plans are in line with other social democratic nations like Norway and Sweden, all of whom have a higher quality of life than the US, could Bernie Sanders bring that to the United States?

New Afrikan Revolutionary Writings On Nation, Class And Patriarchy
What class conflicts exist under national oppression? Thom reads from Sanyika Shakur's Stand Up Struggle Forward, to expose the sometimes obscured conflicts capitalism produces.
From the publisher:
“It was over 20 years ago that the book Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Member exploded on the scene and gave us all a front row seat to explore the genocidal brutality of the neo-colonial world of gangbanging. A world that exists at the expense of New Afrikan communities and New Afrikan youth in particular, through our social savage way of attempting to gain power through AK’s, bats and beat downs ... it was in the belly of the beast [[prison) that ‘Monster’ underwent a revolutionary transformation, dissecting and re-building himself from the inside out, slaying the colonial thug ‘Monster’ and emerging through a re-birth as ‘Sanyika Shakur,’ a New Afrikan Revolutionary Nationalist.” -- from the Foreword by Yusef “Bunchy” Shakur
This collection of writings by Sanyika Shakur, formerly known as Monster Kody Scott, includes several essays written from within the infamous Pelican Bay Security Housing Unit in the period around the historic 2011 California prisoners’ hunger strike, as well as two interviews conducted just before and after his release in Black August 2012.
Shakur rejects the easy answers and false solutions of the neocolonial age - integration and racism, the colonial-criminal mentality and subservience to imperialism - as the “oppo-sames” that they are. Firmly rooted in the New Afrikan Communist tradition, he skillfully uses the tools of dialectical materialism to lay bare the deeper connections between racism, sexism, and homophobia and how these mental diseases relate to the ongoing capitalist [[neo-)colonial catastrophe we remain trapped within.
Defending the legacy of New Afrikans’ historic struggle for Land, Independence, and Socialism, Shakur spells out a uniquely liberatory Revolutionary Nationalist vision. Annihilating the “amerikan” mental fog that has new generations continuing to self-defeat rather than coming together against the real enemy, Stand Up, Struggle Forward serves as a battle cry against all forms of oppression.
Stand Up, Struggle Forward also contains a valuable account of political repression in the California prison system, including several of the intelligence memoranda that were used to condemn Shakur to years of solitary confinement in Pelican Bay. These internal prison documents clearly show that this prolonged solitary confinement was a direct result of Shakur’s continuing promotion of New Afrikan Revolutionary Nationalist politics. As such, they provide a clear example of the way in which solitary confinement continues to be used as a tool of political repression against thousands of prisoners in California today.
