@kyledcheney @libradunn FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW!! MAXIMUM SENTENCE!!
TRAITORS TO OUR BELOVED DEMOCRACY!!

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEW: While Stewart Rhodes watched along in an orange jumpsuit, cops and congressional staffers described injuries — physical and emotional — that have haunted them every day since Jan. 6.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

@libradunn The common theme for them all: Jan. 6 isn't the past for us. We (and many of our friends/colleagues) live through the trauma every day.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

HAPPENING NOW: Sentencing hearing underway for Stewart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges. Today will feature victim impact statements, including from @libradunn and Speaker Emerita Pelosi’s chief of staff Terri McCullough.

Arroyo is up to no good

[Gintautas Dumcius @gintautasd]

Mejia: I’m going to be honest and push back and we be mindful of politics and dynamics. Who is carrying water for who? That’s what I want to get at here. I want us to be honest about how we’re moving. Right now I need you to tell me who are you listening to?

[judymeredith @judymeredith]

Arroyo up to no good as usual. Throw him. Out

[Gintautas Dumcius @gintautasd]

Arroyo cont'd: Mayor Wu who lives in 18-10 loses to Kim Janey in the 2022 map. Under this latest map Wu beats Kim Janey by 500 votes. When we talk about racially polarized voting, that’s what we’re talking about. It’s because you’ve removed Mattapan precincts.

BREAKING: Police arrest a 32-year-old man in Florida after catching him lurking outside a preschool with an AK-47 and handgun ready to go in his vehicle.

The man allegedly told officers that he was on his way to the CIA, which is located about a mile away from the school in question.

Thankfully, tragedy was narrowly avoided in this case, but what kind of country are we living in where a man can trespass onto preschool grounds with a literal weapon of war? What kind of country allows a person to own a gun like that in the first place?

Retweet if you support banning AK-47s and AR-15s!

[Doug Jones @DougJones]

On this day 21 years ago a jury in Birmingham convicted Bobby Frank Cherry of the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church and the murder of Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Morris Wesley and Carole Robertson. What folks don’t appreciate is that the bombing and deaths of those young girls was the beginning of the “woke” movement because it woke the conscientious of the American people, of the President and of the Congress leading to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I guess our continuing effort to bring justice was also “woke.” Well so damn be it. We need to always remember the horrors that hate can cause and be woke enough to call it out.

[John Hartle - Vote Blue for you! @johnwhartle]

@LqLana Reportedly, 11 parents are responsible for almost all the banning demands. ONE parent decides than ALL students cannot be taught the National Youth Poet Laureate’s work. Banning that and the Diary of Ann Frank is all you need to know.

[LanaQuest aka RosaSparks @LqLana]

Amanda Gorman was the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate, not an easy feat.

A Florida school has banned the poem she read at Biden’s inauguration.

Which part caused the “white discomfort?”

Was it because Amanda is a skinny Black girl? You know how racists feel about Black girls.

Was it when she mention being descended from slaves? We know DeSantis says there barely were slaves.

Is it the part where she dared to dream of becoming president? Y’all know how they feel about a Black President. Hell, they are pissed about Kamala.

Maybe because Amanda Gorman’s work focuses on issues of race and oppression, feminism, and marginalization.

Maybe it’s as simple as she’s Black, intelligent, and beautiful.

Thank DeSantis for making Florida unrecognizable. We will never allow him to become president. #FreshWords

Thank you Leslie for sharing this difficult memory and for walking alongside me.

For folks closely following redistricting, a (fun?) tidbit: Charlestown's Moe Gillen has formally filed with Judge Saris, the federal judge overseeing the redistricting lawsuit, his map, also known as "The Moe Map"

CNN sucks

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

WOW!! More than a week after CNN’s disastrous town hall with Trump, the negative impact the fiasco had on its ratings is coming into clearer focus. Last week, the network suffered its LOWEST-RATED week since June 2015, averaging just 429,000 total daily viewers from Monday to Friday. In comparison, MSNBC more than DOUBLED the daily audience of CNN, drawing 976,000 total viewers.

Fox News averaged 1.4 million viewers, which was a DECREASE of 41 percent in the key demo year-to-year and 24 percent in total viewers. Fox has seen its ratings plummet as angry right-wingers flee after Tucker Carlson’s shock firing. In fact, their post-Tucker weekday demo audience is the LOWEST it’s been since September 2001.

[judymeredith @judymeredith]

Trumpster ungrateful jerk. Hope his car survives.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

A road construction worker on Michigan’s I-96 project has a “Let’s Go Brandon” flag — MAGA’s code for a vulgar insult against Joe Biden — draped across his windshield.

This is outrageous — especially considering that President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is PAYING FOR over 81% of the project’s total cost!

Hey @MichiganDOT — why do you allow this? 🤨

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

Like clockwork, after @WSJ report that the special counsel probe of Trump’s classified doc handling is nearing indictment, Trump reveals he had his lawyers today demand a meeting with Attorney General Garland

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Many white Evangelicals have forgiven Donald Trump for multiple affairs, porn star payoffs, financial improprieties, unhinged Twitter rants, Russian alliances, and vile moral filth of every kind—and they’ve never forgiven Barack Obama for being black.
