@FrankFigliuzzi1 Good, Frank! I love my Nicolle, Joy and Rachel, but what I want is a nice, accurate daily briefing about who—SDNY, GA, FL, the ppl bringing civil suits—is making progress, what ex-trump flunkie has seen the light, and of course, court proceedings.
@tylerrrr0711@Bakari_Sellers You should know your (OUR) history better! It’s a shame you don’t, but maybe you can sit w/an older person and learn about life under Jim Crow, and how hard our elders fought to rid us *all* of that evil scourge.
Then try to get how similar those old laws are to this new one.
@tylerrrr0711@Bakari_Sellers A lie. Every expert from Trumps own DOJ/Barr said the elections were fair and free of fraud. As a matter of fact most fraud detected were committed by republicans.
@tylerrrr0711@Bakari_Sellers You’re wrong, on 2 points:
GA passed the law to prevent a certain demographic from voting, to help the GOP state legislature remain in power. Total Jim Crow.
Many elderly GA citizens—like my dad—don’t have birth certs. He was born at a time when hospitals only admitted Whites.
@cmclymer Having my daily RPBC fix, & lmho at the Twizzlers assertion!
For one thing, Twizzlers have obviously changed their formula from time to time. This current iteration of Twizzlers is *not* your grandma’s or mom’s Twizzlers!
My RPBC’s taste just as they did when I was...younger😋
If Republicans aren’t willing to vote for voting rights, and if the only way to safeguard our fundamental right to vote is to blow up the filibuster, then ignore McConnell’s taunts and do it. https://t.co/3jYYGmWkl3
.@MaddowBlog: Rep. Cawthorn is "proud" of the money headed to health centers in his district, but the money is from the Covid relief package - which he voted against.

JUST IN: Former Pres. Barack Obama congratulates the MLB for "taking a stand" on voting rights: "There’s no better way for America’s pastime to honor the great Hank Aaron, who always led by example." https://t.co/0IpUd2xNP9

@LoriLJJD@PreetBharara A man should be able to assist another human in such circumstances, w/o fearing for his job.
If you’re gonna yell, yell that the police will be here in < 5 minutes, *and* that you have the attacker(s) on camera!
@Ann76498196 @PreetBharara Uh yeah another black man who didn't even bother to assist. Assist her after the attack. But what did he do? Shut the door like she wasn't even there. Any human with an ounce of empathy would have ran to help her.
@PreetBharara Excuse my language, but I am incensed. No, I am not Asian. My ppl are Indigenous and/or were enslaved brown folk. You know, the ones that built this country—for free. So I feel perfectly w/in my rights to proclaim: YOU BELONG HERE!!!
The ridiculous racist faction can get out!
@MegAnne24413134@RBReich It’s as suspect as trump requesting that GA politicians find him exactly 11,791 votes, “one more than I need to win”! Despite the seating of a slew of unqualified federal judges, one hopes that when these new laws are challenged, the judiciary dismisses most of them out of hand.
@RBReich@RBReich I want Dem legislators to adopt a new mindset—one in which they stop assuming the GOP will eventually regain power, and stop worrying what will happen when they do. Enacting tons of policies that benefit the overwhelming majority of citizens should do it!
What say you?
@LegalRobert@Swats_44 But they need *not* be! These state legislators are like children fighting their bedtimes. They struggle against voting (i.e., racial) equity, b/c they haven’t yet accepted the truth. 2045 is a 401-ft tsunami. Swim or drown!

@FishRulez@Swats_44 I tell you what:
Let the state go to every single home in GA, rural and urban, and if any adult citizen is w/o a photo ID, take a photo of him/her, and give him/her the photo ID there & then.
Do that, and I will stop claiming the unfairness of those ID laws.
What say you???
