"I make decisions based on the facts and the law. The law is completely non-partisan. That's how decisions are made in every case...We look at the facts. We look at the law. And we bring charges."
Fani Willis is not afraid of Donald Trump but he damn well should be afraid of her.
She isn't going to take any BS from a small handed man who wants to be a mob king.
No one, not even a former president, is above the law. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

We were informed this poor old boy was another victim of hakkapatas (jaw bomb)
He has no teeth & no lower jaw. He’s arrived at the sanctuary in an emaciated state, totally weakened, dehydrated & he was fading away.
We have named him Adrian. He’s on treatments, IV fluids & being fed a soft diet.
Let's hope we can give him some happier times than the hellish existence he has endured on the streets of Sri Lanka for so long.
Please help us to save dear old Adrian by donating towards his care at the sanctuary ❤️🩹

HOLY SHIT: Greg, a Pennsylvania native and embodiment of the state's blue-collar spirit, supported the Republican party with deep roots tracing back to the Nixon era. However, he strongly believes Donald Trump is unfit to be the United States' commander-in-chief, pointing out his lack of education and alleged involvement in criminal activities. Don't miss the highly recommended video showcasing Greg's viewpoint, where he also highlights President Biden as a deserving candidate who represents ordinary individuals like yourself. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE
We rescued Miss Luna from #Downey after she spent 2 months in her kennel overlooked & with an euthanasia notice pending on her head. She went to #denvercolorado for a #fostertoadopt situation but unfortunately it’s not working bc she is not getting along with the resident dog.✨We are giving Miss Luna a chance for her future #fureverhome & a successful #adoption by sending her to one of the best trainer in #california Alpinek9 ✨
💫A new journey for this deserving sweetheart who is perfect other than the fact she is dog selective.
We haven’t set up a fundraiser for her because we know angels have been donating to Bruno and Nigel training but any donation for her board & train would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼 please specify it’s for Miss Luna. https://t.co/3puodQ4MFi
Thank you 🐾
🫶🏻✨I would like to thank everyone who trust and support our work & especially her foster who is an angel. He is so patient, loving & supportive. We know that having to separate the two dogs constantly is not an easy thing & we would love to find a new long term foster or even better an adopter 🙏🏼

BOOM: Rachel Maddow exposes the Republican party's double standards regarding monetary support from foreign diplomats and countries, highlighting the case of Steven Mnuchin, a Republican, who received a substantial sum of $1 billion from Saudi Arabia due to his connections with the White House. Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump reportedly obtained $2 billion through their connections to the White House. I doubt that anyone else will be able to profit from the White House unless Donald Trump does so himself. Does anyone else share this view? #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE
KISS OF LIFE
In 1968, the author received the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph - one of the most prestigious awards in the United States, which is awarded for achievements in music, cinema, theater and journalism.
The picture shows two electricians, Randall Champion and Jay Thompson, hanging from a power pole. That day there was a strong heat and nothing foreshadowed trouble. The hum of air conditioners in July 1967 was heard throughout the state of Florida. Because of them, in the city of Jacksonville, there was an overload of power lines, and this caused a power surge.
Randall and Jay were doing routine maintenance on a live line when Randall accidentally touched one of the wires. A discharge of 4000 V passed through the body and his heart stopped. For understanding: during the execution in the electric chair, a voltage of 2000 V is used
Randall's lifeless body hung from the harness. But his partner Jay did not lose his head, realizing that every second is precious, he began to give him artificial respiration right on the pole. It was very inconvenient, but there was no other way out. In such a situation, it is difficult to conduct a normal resuscitation, but Jay still tried to start his friend's heart until he had a weak pulse.
Only after that he unhooked his partner's insurance and, throwing him over his shoulder, went down to the ground. By the time the rescuers arrived (they were called by professional photographer Rocco Morabito, who happened to be at the scene), Champion was already conscious on the ground.
Not only was he saved, thanks to Thompson, but he lived another 35 years. The electrician died in 2003 at the age of 64.
Thompson is alive today.
Former Republican Lt. Governor of Georgia Jeff Duncan moments ago after exiting the Fulton County Courthouse:
“Donald Trump was the worst candidate ever, in the history of our party … and now we are going to have to pivot from there.”
Reports are circulating this week that a 13-year old rape victim in Mississippi was forced to deliver a baby because of the archaic abortion laws in her state and those states surrounding it.
Going by the pseudonym of "Ashley", this young girl is now a mother of a baby that she was forced to have because of rape.
Mississippi, along with other states that also ban abortions, technically make exceptions for when the pregnancy is from rape, but such exceptions are incredibly rare and require multiple hoops to be jumped through. Mississippi requires that a rape be reported to law enforcement in order to qualify for a legal abortion. 67% of all rapes go unreported. Additionally, that person must then travel out of state to get their abortion. In Ashley's case the closest clinic was in Chicago, a 10 hour drive away. The family said that even if permitted the cost of taking off work and travel make it impossible.
When politicians pass archaic laws, I feel that they often don't think through how broad they are. NO rape victim, especially a 13-year-old should EVER be forced to carry a child. PERIOD
None of these idiots are going to fight in a Civil War. They'll do what all cockroaches do when they're hit with the bright light of day - they'll scatter.
The war is being fought in the former Confederate states this way:
1. Texas declared it has the right to police international borders. That's actually the job of the federal gov.
2. In Alabama the legislature has defied a conservative U.S. Supreme Court and refuses to give African Americans a second majority precinct.
3. In Florida, Day-old roadkill governor DeSantis is behind a push to renovate text books so Florida kids are brought up believing slavery was kind of neat trade school.
The former states of the confederacy are fighting for their racist agenda in legislation and in the courts.
Not on a battlefield. And they are LOSING.
Again
We are hoping Tobi's sore heals soon so we can let him loose at the dog park again - he is SOOO good there & loves it so. He ripped up the original bandage in 2 days so it's re-bandaged with a child's sock over it.

Our institutions don’t protect themselves. The reason Trump was unsuccessful in overthrowing our democracy after the 2020 election was because of brave individuals like Ms. Wandrea “Shaye” Moss standing up to do the right thing. Today we say “thank you."
BREAKING: Civil war rips through the Republican Party as Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp shreds Donald Trump's frantic lies in the wake of his new historic indictment — infuriating MAGA in the process.
It all started with Trump promising to release a "CONCLUSIVE" report that will supposedly give him "complete EXONERATION" by proving that the 2020 election was in fact stolen from him.
Of course no such report is possible because the election was not stolen, which is what the courts have said over and over again.
Governor Kemp, a far-right Republican himself, ripped Trump's Big Lie, saying that the "2020 election in Georgia was not stolen."
"For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law," he went on. "Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible, and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor."
"The future of our country is at stake in 2024 and that must be our focus," he added, taking a shot at Trump's presidential campaign.
For once, Kemp is right. He is an utterly odious man and Georgia would be far better off with a Democratic governor, but at the very least he's a Republican who admits they lost in 2020.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you know that Trump lost the election — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
A sitting Congressperson tweeting this from her OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT is somehow fine, but a female soccer player choosing not to sing the National Anthem is ‘disrespectful to the flag’. Oh, ok.
Bad news: I just got a DM from a woman (not from Ohio) calling me a C*** because I'm running against her hero Jim Jordan.
Honestly, it sickened me. I wanted to throw my phone, or 🤮. But instead I scrolled and saw... 👇🧵
GREAT news: Support for me has SKYROCKETED – since news of Trump's indictment.
Why?
People say they feel a new hope – that those trying to overthrow our democracy will be held accountable.
That includes Donald Trump, but also alleged co-conspirators like my opponent.
No matter how much hate I get, I promise you this: I will fight each and every day to get our country back. Only then can we have a government that fights for ALL people.
One district at a time. Starting with mine. 👇🧵
This is going to piss you off.
The 2009 movie, "The Blind Side” — a feel good film about a wealthy, white football loving family who adopted Michael Oher, a poor Black rising football star, was largely based on a false premise.
Turns out the adoption was a lie, concocted by the family to enrich itself at Michael’s expense. Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy allegedly made $ millions from the film, but shared none of it with him. In fact, he only found out he wasn’t really adopted in February.
Michael Oher is suing the Tuoys — The lawsuit alleges that as soon as he turned 18 (in 2004), the Tuoys tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
