“When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money.”
All the signals are flashing red, the latest being @POTUS's summary dismissal of the remaining Federal Election Assistance Commission members.
Put that together with political hack Pulte's odious appt as DNI; election deniers in the most sensitive oversight positions; Trump's exec order on mail-in voting, and potential use of the Postal Service as a weapon of subversion; his pathological prioritization of the SAVE act, which would be the most powerful voter suppression tool in generations; and his persistent, unfounded claims of election fraud, which he uses to justify extraordinary federal interventions.
On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump's unpopularity.

@realDonaldTrump is America’s enemy. He should be in jail.
Trump’s continued assault on America’s elections. He’s doing whatever he can do to fuck with the Midterms. Share this information with everyone you can.
Every American — regardless of political party — should be horrified at yet another blatant effort by President Trump to eradicate every safeguard of free and fair elections.

DL Hughley: “That’s what I have to say to America: Aren’t you tired? Aren’t you tired of being embarrassed? Aren’t you tired of things you once believed in being eroded? It’s exhausting that somebody cares more about a game than your life. Or more about a ballroom than your living room. When America is tired enough, I suspect things will be different”
There’s something missing about these new recruits just sworn in to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Can you help me out?
This is code red. Trump is not screwing around. We will lose this country unless we are vigilant with what’s going on in terms of election security.
