Though Jack Smith's indictment of Trump may indicate that the rule of law still persists in America, it will not remain so if Trump returns to office in 2024. While Jack Smith does his job, we need to make sure that we do ours: vote.
Lawless, violent, and cruel. This is Trump's Republican party. This is all that they have to offer. 2024 will be a choice between liberty & oppression, your freedom & their control, truth & propaganda. It's going to take all of us in this fight. Are you in?
On what would have been his 98th birthday, we celebrate the trailblazing Ted Lindsay whose legacy continues to be acknowledged by current players.

“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart.
Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

As a pilot since I was 16. I have spent my life in the Air Traffic Control System. Flying both private and commercial. This onerous plan from the House GOP to close 375+ plus control towers would make the entire system come to a complete stop. It would not just "slow it down" like many in the GOP say. There would be a complete shutdown of the system much like after 9-11. If this is allowed to happen there will be no scheduled airline service at all. Airline flights have to be under ATC control. Nothing will fly. You cannot strip out over 90% of the employees and shut 375 towers and still have a safe useable ATC system in the country. For all of ya'll that laughed along with Donald Trump about forcing this horrible plan. Hope you don't have to fly anywhere for work or vacation. Because if this stupidity happens. You ain't going anywhere. @NewBlueUSA #DemVoice1
Here’s the police body cam video showing what happened when a @Hertz worker at the New Orleans airport called police because a Puerto Rican man kept insisting that his drivers license was valid. The Hertz worker denied the man his pre paid rental car because he couldn’t present his passport. The Hertz worker thought Puerto Rico was another country and so she insisted the man needed to show a passport. He didn’t. He is a U.S. citizen as are all Puerto Ricans.
This body cam video was first obtained by @FOX8NOLA.
You can judge for yourself the unidentified @KennerPolice officers demeanor / behavior. Marchand found it to be extremely rude and demeaning.
As for the Hertz worker, she seen on video saying to the customer, Humberto Marchand:
“Because you recorded as you’re not gonna be able to rent from Hertz ever!”
That’s not true. Hertz has already apologized to Mr. Marchand publicly and stated that the employees were wrong and will be retained.
It is clear that neither the officer, nor the Hertz employee, know that Marchand is right: his driver’s license is as valid as any other license issued in any other state. He didn’t need to show a passport to anyone. The officer could’ve provided clarity to the situation based on the fact that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country. He did not or was unaware of that fact.
In my initial report, I stated that Marchand heard the officer say that he would call border authorities. The body cam video does not show that.
As @FOX8NOLA’s @news_fuentes reported, the officer said: “Do not come back up here and cause any more disturbances.”
In the body camera video, Marchand asks, “You’re going to call what? Border services?”
