The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

Democrats need to get ahead of the messaging in Fulton County, Georgia. If the Feds raided an election office under a Democratic Admin (they wouldn’t), Repubs would be screaming about “Dem Party election interference” LONG before any elections were held. So…Flip the script NOW, Dems!

The Fulton County raid isn’t about 2020. It’s about permission for what comes next. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Trumps FBI are commandeering the 2020 Fulton County GA ballots right now Not a good day for Democracy www.threads.com/@joshmclauri...

Can Dems Push MAGA and Its ICE Army Into a Disorganized Retreat? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/can-d...

MAGA is at heart a terror movement

“He had a gun!” the insane hypocrites screamed.

We have reached The Onion Singularity, where satire is indistinguishable from reality.

Parody vs Reality part 2

this is unbelievable scary - plus they are using all of our 'secure' data against tax paying migrants bsky.app/profile/iwil...

We’ve long passed the point where satire is indistinguishable from reality

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Gotta throw jabs before you land the knockout punch

Abolish ICE? DHS Too. It’s Time talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/aboli...

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

Government by shitposters

In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

No print mags have the reach they once did. But it's notable to me that I keep seeing articles like this in People, very broad-spectrum, apolitical, at least in my experience. Gives a sense of how much this stuff is breaking through.

The battle over whether to extend subsidies that make health insurance affordable for millions of Americans will come to a head in the U.S. Senate this week — and Sen. Jon @Ossoff is working to make it a defining issue of his reelection campaign. #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Literally a Participation Trophy

Good reminder that Trump was guilty of an egregious crime simply in Georgia, let alone the rest of the country, and should have served a significant stint in prison. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.

Ok but Lethal Weapon is totally a Christmas Movie A guy gets shot by a sniper in a helicopter as tedious slog through like 5 minutes of exposition as he guzzles egg nog right out of the carton, which of course, leaks out the bullet hole as he collapses… youtu.be/AYkXEsLMNEY?...

Kinda tangential, but isn’t this the building that was on the cover of Rush’s Moving Pictures?

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are not serious people. I won't let them stop me from holding this Administration accountable.

And notice: 11 stars—the number of states in the Confederacy. “Americanism” is the new fascism, as predicted.

WTF

This is what I said in  February 26, 2016. Just what Senator Mark Kelly said last week www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC7-...

You can have a trillion dollars. It still can’t buy a sense of humor (Because the root of humor is empathy, and that’s not a thing that can be bought with money )

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Internet erupts as MAGA influencers exposed for being based in other countries www.rawstory.com/maga-foreign...

Remember a few weeks ago when Trump brought in a couple bulldozers and demolished about a third of the White House? That was weird.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

I want to go where They don’t let you pump gas And every grudge lasts forever And no one lets you pass They knocked down Giants Stadium To build the American Dream It’s sad and it’s empty And everything is as it seems

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

If your employees are on welfare, your business is on welfare Here are the real “welfare queens”

"Silence, for me, is now intolerable."

Silencing dissent is now second nature to this administration. We have fully abandoned the premise of allowing public argument and debate and are instead entrenched in rote fascism. The thought police are entirely empowered, and they treat us no longer as citizens of a republic, but as sheep.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
