A key goal of democracy is to convince the loser they lost. Our democracy is failing miserably at that, as @LuluFriesdat.bsky.social, Co-founder & Exec Dir of SMART Elections, discusses w/ investigative journalist @sgcarney.bsky.social smartelections.substack.com/p/a-perfect-... #CountTheVote

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

. “ What would Jesus do?” Certainly none of this shit. #Epstein .

Surely one of those 1,000 FBI agents has heard of WikiLeaks.

We suspected that the Trump DOJ would give us a doctored version of the Epstein files to protect Trump Now we know-that’s EXACTLY what they apparently did Plus they tried to scapegoat Bill Clinton-who none of us would have defended anyway Pam Bondi must resign-and should probably be disbarred

"What’s happening now is that there are competing but parallel scenarios on the left and the right that revolve around stolen software, illegal access to technology and electoral manipulation." - @LuluFriesdat.bsky.social, Co-founder and Executive Director of SMART Elections

Marimar Martinez was on her way to donate clothes when she saw #immigration officers & started honking her horn to warn her community. Then they side-swiped her car(later blaming her) then shot her 5 times & then texted each other to brag & joke about it. This #ICELawlessness could happen to you!

US Citizens are getting shot by #immigration agents & being denied appropriate medical attention & due process. Everyone needs to hear the story of Carlos Jimenez, a father of 3 who helps run a food bank. #ICELawlessness If it can happen to him, it can happen to you! Call Congress at 202-224-3121

From someone who has been paying attention to what's going on. Especially today.

Anyone in the DOJ and FBI who has seen the unredacted Epstein Files and does not come forward as a Whistleblower is guilty of being part of the cover up

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee. Will Jordan release the video to the public? If not, why not?

💯 million thousand percent! This is the way!

Release the Epstein Files

Portland woman testifies that police lied about ICE activity in Oregon when 12 to 15 agents surrounded her vehicle, and she called 911 for help on December 10th. "I have a question for the police. If you refuse to do your job, are you prepared for us to do it for you?"

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

#RocklandCounty News12 interview covers the fact that our lawsuit was not dismissed on the merits. "The merits of the case were strong." We discovered passwords to voting machines are taken home overnight & voting machines don't seem to be tested correctly hudsonvalley.news12.com/judge-dismis...

According to a June 2024 YouGov poll, 38% of Democrats and 72% of Republicans do not trust the results of one of the last 2 presidential elections. smartelections.substack.com/p/a-perfect-... #Election2024 #Election2020 #ElectionSecurity #VerifyTheVote #CountTheVote #Nonpartisan

Influenza A(H3N2) viruses are the most frequently reported influenza viruses so far this season. Some H3N2 strains have mutated slightly (“antigenically drifted”) in comparison to the H3N2 strain in the current influenza vax TL;DR: vaccine still provides some protection www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

We are failing our kids

Words DO MATTER. This is deeply moving.

Generally data scientists expect voting results to settle into a standard percentage that pulls toward the average support for each candidate, as illustrated in the Columbia County results. smartelections.substack.com/p/what-we-kn...

Are the Tennessee election results correct? “Montgomery County’s precinct-level results exhibit statistical signatures consistent with known forms of ballot-inflation or digital vote manipulation. These patterns warrant additional scrutiny.” - Election Truth Alliance (ETA)

Relay from BLUESKY......

Rand Paul says he wants people on Obamacare to buy their insurance through Costco, Sam’s Club, and Amazon? What do you think about the senator’s plan? ME: First, cancel Congress' health care and send them to Costco, Sam's Club & Amazon, then report back their success stories.

Remarkable kindness and empathy from the Jewish community of Bondi and abroad in light of this horrific anti-semitic shooting. Instead of pouring fuel on the fire and joining hatemongers to condemn all Muslims, they are openly and loudly rejecting it. We stand in solidarity against hate and terror.

I posted about Senator Mark Kelly before, and here are four more heroes. #Pinks

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

That's the Minneapolis Chief of Police, who recently announced at a press conference, that any city police officer who does NOT intervene to stop unlawful use of force by ICE will be fired. This should be a "me too" moment where every police chief in America announces the same policy.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Stephen Miller’s wife says mayonnaise is the only condiment he’ll eat, ‘period’

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

TW ⚠️— WISCONSIN: “I am racist.” Cinnabon has fired this racist worker who hurled the N word at a Hijab-wearing Somali woman and her husband. This is what Trump has emboldened. Our kids are watching. More: www.ibtimes.co.uk/cinnabon-fir...

This is desturbing as fuck. This is the hate and bigotry Trump incites: A Somali couple walked into a Cinnabon in Wisconsin to buy some food and were met by a MAGA racist, who was obviously influenced by Trump's racist vitriol against people from Somalia earlier in the week. 😳👇

⭐BREAKING: ICE is asking for people to quit calling its hotline to report an undocumented girl named 'Anne Frank' hiding in the attics of Republican lawmakers.
