Had enough. That ominously dark, huge, ugly, black "X" speaks volumes so had to delete. Everyone moved to Threads, so there I am.

Matt DePerno, who promised to indict Democrats for election fraud if he was elected AG of Michigan, has just been indicted for a scheme to tamper with voting machines.

See that thin looking vertical metal between the two orange buoys? It's a round circular electric saw blade. So let me ask you. What kind of a sick MF'er do you have to be to install such a thing along a river bank? @POTUS you need to stop this! #Bidentotheborder

This is Joe Biden, our president.

I don’t care how old he is. I don’t care that he stutters.

He is a good, kind man. And he represents the best of us.

The only reason he ran is because he believes that America needs him right now.

And he’s right.

@Backblastradio @SenBlumenthal To a non-lawyer like me, this sounds like the same/similar question facing Israel.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

If Justice Alito is willing to expound to the Wall Street Journal that Congress has no authority over the Court, he should come before Congress to tell us directly why—in testimony before the Judiciary Committee.

RAGA reported making only two campaign contributions in the first half of this year: $12,500 to the reelection campaign of Utah’s right-wing Attorney General Sean Reyes (R) and $2,100 to Russell Coleman’s campaign for attorney general in Kentucky.

@stengel @arcticmother Personally, I believe the press is weakening themselves. Following gotcha stories, instead of reporting on productive, informative news. Watching most press conferences is disappointing.

[Gonzo @GonzoNorthWest]

@stengel @GadflyQuebec News media has been bought by the oligarchs who are on board with and principal funders of the authoritarians.

[just thinking @isawthesethings]

@stengel Related insightful & disheartening read:
Koch’s & 1%ers decades long plan to control education & judiciary, dismantle democracy & return to oligarchy
👉🏼 designing a government with consolidated, unchecked powers
👉🏼 so they can bypass the will of the people

[Richard Stengel @stengel]

The axis of authoritarianism is the weakening of the press, the courts, and voting rights. It's happening all over the world, including here. Journalism is not a crime; the judiciary is a separate and equal branch of government; and voting should be as easy as possible. https://t.co/P1qMjdxRfh

Sad to see SEN Diane Feinstein in such a confused and vulnerable state. Worked with her for a decade. Courage. Leadership. Integrity. She should resign from the Senate now. Her friends and family need to help her. There is no DNC.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Trump has to be tried for his coup attempt. It is the only way to put the Big Lie to rest. Yes, it will be awkward. But less awkward than watching the Republic fall apart under the weight of fascist mendacity.

[Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads/Insta)🌻 @AWeissmann_]

Exactly how is Trump being "indicted for you," as he claims?
Seems like a bit of a Jesus Christ complex, if Jesus were a billionaire, sexual assault perpetrator, serial liar, and authoritarian, facing over 70 felony counts.

[Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads/Insta)🌻 @AWeissmann_]

If Trump is using (eg to pay legal fees) a PAC that made money by falsely claiming election fraud, well then that scheme can be the basis of fraud charges and the money obtained by that scheme can be seized in a pre-trial forfeiture order.

[marcia thill @MarciaThill]

@american2084 Anyone talking about the REAL issue of third party candidates pulling enough EC votes away from both Dem & GOP candidates so *no one* gets to the magic 270 votes-- throwing the entire election to the House of Representatives????

[marcia thill @MarciaThill]

@CalltoActivism Did they make those t-shirts themselves?

[marcia thill @MarciaThill]

@CalltoActivism I don't think so.

[Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads/Insta)🌻 @AWeissmann_]

Jack Smith to FLA jury: the damning surveillance video of Trump illegally hiding classified docs is the evidence that Trump did not want you to see. He tried to destroy it so that you would not be able to catch him in the act of committing the crimes charged.

[Karma @IknowWhatdo]

@AWeissmann_ @BaddCompani If anyone taking that amount of classified docs and dangerous national security secrets wouldn’t be under priority surveillance, then I’d be shocked.
