Connect the dots: Jack Smith's (constrained) testimony; raid in Fulton County; demands that states relinquish voter rolls. @grassrootsspeak.bsky.social is putting out breadcrumbs. To secure the mid-terms, we need to follow. open.substack.com/pub/itsuptou...

Glad to see @uwecworkgroup.bsky.social featured, painful as it is to see war trashing nature's treasures www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@mandascott.bsky.social Stuff to chew on here.

STOP THIS. God damn it, STOP

Can this moment be a launching point for how to protect elections going forward? Thx @smartelections.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/smartele...

AND per @grassrootsspeak.bsky.social We need to publicly call on the 11th Circuit to force Judge Aileen Cannon to either release the gag order on Volume 2 or to take her off the case. Taxpayers paid for this report and there may be answers there.

A GOP rep is currently pointing out to Jack Smith that a number of co-conspirators in the conspiracy to violate the voting rights of the people were NOT charged If I could ask a follow up question to Jack Smith I would ask: “Are any of the coconspirators you had evidence to charge in this room?”

This ↘️

I want to listen to facts, evidence & testimony When a question is raised by the Dems I get to hear from the witness & focus on testimony under oath by Jack Smith regarding facts & evidence. Every time a GOP asks a question it reeks of political weaponization and I barely get to hear Jack Smith.

We can wonder: maybe electoral malfeasance and stolen documents are connected? Consider how Smith's testimony is constrained. @balint.house.gov

Please take heed of an important election-crime narrative stirring beneath the proceeds of the hearing. @markjacob.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social @grassrootsspeak.bsky.social substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Overwhelmed as we are, it's imperative to occasionally step back to see the whole picture. @grassrootsspeak.bsky.social does an AMAZING job of weaving threads of threats to--and violations of--legitimate elections. Essential read! itsuptous.substack.com/p/jack-smith...

Yes! It's been excruciating to watch journalism throw away its relevance and its power.

Grateful for VT's principled delegation--and for our independent media. @vtdigger.bsky.social could you look into the role the Burlington-based F-35A jets and VT Nat'l Guard? Thanks!

Glad to have a representative who's not afraid to speak the truth.

Ever wonder clouds' role in climate? Turns out they're key to climate regulation--and we can support natural processes that promote the formation of billowy, cooling clouds #Climate medium.com/@ecorestorat...
