Hell yes, Democratic governors Jared Polis of Colorado and J.B. Pritzker of Illinois will co-chair a newly formed coalition to protect democracy on the state level during the fascist MAGA regime’s tyranny.
Good, much more of this is needed if we are to stand any chance at all.
BREAKING: A group of computer security experts have just issued a letter to VP Harris urging that she initiate recounts in key states in light of the extraordinary breaches of voting system software by Trump operatives following the 2020 election. https://t.co/N6FF8n6qF7 @FSFP
NYT CONFIRMS:
The House Ethics Committee — which has been investigating allegations that Matt Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use — was prepared to vote to release a highly critical report about Gaetz on FRIDAY.
Gaetz's resignation, just two days before that vote, effectively ends the probe. https://t.co/uCiK6Vn3q5
As an insurrectionist, Donald Trump is ineligible to hold any national office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
The only way he can become eligible again is a 2/3rds vote in both chambers of Congress.
Leader Schumer should call the vote immediately. 1/
The ads were like "gay illegal asylum escapees are flooding across the border and Kamala will give them all a sex change" and it worked because half the population is braindead
One thing we shouldn’t let slide in the wake of the presidential election is the duplicity of the CEOs of the country’s most powerful corporations.
After January 6, for example, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Trump needed to be held accountable for inciting a riot. "I think no one is above the law. I mean, that's the great thing about our country, we're a rule of law country. I think everyone that had a part in it needs to be held accountable," Cook said. "I don't think we should let it go."
Last Tuesday, Cook let it go, offering a cheerful public congratulations to Trump.
Congratulations President Trump on your victory! We look forward to engaging with you and your administration to help make sure the United States continues to lead with and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.
Similarly, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote after January 6:
The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor. His decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions of his supporters at the Capitol building has rightly disturbed people in the US and around the world
In the years that followed, Trump statements about the attack only became more disturbing.
In the course of his 2024 campaign, Trump lionized the January 6 rioters. At an October 2024 campaign event, Trump described the attack on the United States Capitol as “a day of love” and claimed that there was "nothing done wrong at all." He has promised to pardon many of the January 6 rioters on his first day back in the White House, claiming that they are "wrongfully imprisoned."
But, after Trump’s victory, Zuckerberg offered his enthusiastic congratulations, suggested that Trump's election heralded an era of "great opportunities," and expressed his excitement about working with Trump and his administration.
Congratulations to President Trump on a decisive victory. We have great opportunities ahead of us as a country. Looking forward to working with you and your administration.
Does Zuckerberg send this kind of congratulatory message after every election? No. Popular Information found that Zuckerberg offered no congratulatory message at all to Biden after his 2020 victory.
He does not care if he gets sued.
For 50 years Trump has made a joke of the entire American legal system. A total joke.
He will do all of these things.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes tells @MSNBC she has "no intention" of dropping the criminal case against the fake Trump electors who sought to overturn the state's 2020 election results.
"A grand jury in the state of Arizona decided that these individuals who engaged in an attempt to overthrow our democracy in 2020 should be held accountable, so we won't be cowed, we won't be intimidated."
We need to keep curing as many ballots as possible, even if a majority in both the House and Senate end up out of reach.
Trust me, that extra seat we may win will come in VERY handy on some close votes with a dysfunctional GOP, especially in the House.
This Veterans Day, let’s remember the generals who took a stand and tried to warn us of the existential threat Donald Trump posed to America.
RETWEET to thank Generals Jim Mattis, John Kelly, Mark Milley, and Stanley McChrystal for standing up for democracy!
One thing I will not do, is be lectured by people who not only denied election results, but also attacked the U.S. Capitol.
I will NOT accept the result of an election the make no fucking sense, until recounts are complete.
MAGA can fuck off. They spent 4 years
This is the simple answer to Trump’s threat of cutting off US military aid for Ukraine. Confiscate the frozen $300 billion of Russian central bank reserves held in the west and use them for the defence of Ukraine. I don’t know why the UK and EU have been so resistant. It’s a no brainer
“Now, we have no electricity in the city, no water, no central supply heating, no mobile connection, no internet connection, but we have no RUSSIANS” 😅
