The BBC obtained a mobile phone that was smuggled out of North Korea.
The level of control the regime holds over its citizens is shocking but not surprising.

More than half of Americans have no passport and would have to rely on their birth certificate to be able to vote. There are an estimated sixty-nine million women whose name on their birth certificate does not match their married name, if they do not have a passport they will not be able to vote😱

In the past seven weeks, Donald Trump has been hard at work on his long-standing pet project: decimating free and fair elections. And, as with the rest of the President’s calamitous agenda, he is doing it in full view of the American people.
Trump Is Still Trying to Undermine Elections
Now that Trump has installed election deniers throughout his Administration, he has been busy dismantling the guardrails protecting voting and voters.

Maybe the @apnews.com would consider framing these excellent points into questions, to ask to the democracy dismantlers…?
There is barely any follow up. Lies are accepted as fact.
Why didn’t the press Corp ask for details, as to what specific steps were taken to “put Ebola prevention back”?

I've been told by a colleague that Uganda tried calling the White House to notify them of the outbreak for 2 days...but no one answered the phone.
Two months ago we had amazing experts working on global health security there.
Now there appears to be no one to pick up a phone.

And normally the U.S. would've helped set up border screening and other measures on the ground.
But this time, we didn't.
Normally, we would've spoke with the WHO about helping end the outbreak.
But this time, we didn't.
Because CDC staff weren't even allowed to talk to them.

On January 29, Uganda reported an Ebola outbreak.
Normally the U.S. would've very quickly sent one of our Ebola experts to help the response.
But this time, we didn't.
Because we couldn't.
Because this administration wouldn't let them go right when this outbreak was declared.
