NEW: You heard about Ohio's Issue 1. But GOP is pushing such changes in so many states, trying over & over.

So I brought together 3 organizers who're fighting to defend democracy in Ohio, Arkansas, and Idaho. They talked about their frustrations & shared lessons.

Conversation was FASCINATING: https://boltsmag.org/direct-democracy-roundtable-ohio-arkansas-idaho/

Santos Aide Who Impersonated McCarthy Staff Member Faces Federal Charges – The New York Times

The New York Times and other news outlets have previously reported that Mr. Miele impersonated Mr. McCarthy’s chief of staff in a bid to solicit funds for Mr. Santos’s campaign.

Per WHO, every twelve minutes four people die of acute covid. Three of those deaths are in the United States.

Entering April, for every three covid deaths, U.S. saw another excess death not attributed to covid.

The emergency is over. Covid is not done with us.

To make matters worse, Indiana AG Todd Rokita says he'll keep requesting medical records regarding medical procedures MAGA folks don't like to increase fees for medical providers, according to the WFYI article.

He sent requests to all of Indiana's Planned Parenthood locations asking for gender affirming care info.

Abortion records will be next.

Remember, Trump said he wants to punish women who have had abortions.

Here's a feature I'd like to see Social Media offer up..... A "Seen" button..... Yup... I've seen that Image... Never Show it to me again, thanks.... That way I could tag the endlessly repeated memes and junk that people share as if they were new, and never have to see them again.....

The internet is, too often, just the same old crap over and over and over......

Like any patriotic American, I'm concerned that, after he is convicted, the Secret Service may find it difficult to protect Former President, or President-Elect, or incumbent President Trump. Therefore I suggest that he serve his time at either the Marion (IL) or Florence (CO) penitentiary, where all convicts are kept in solitary confinement 23 hours per day.

Quite a difference...

Via Kyle Cheney:

UPDATE: State bar authorities in California say John #EASTMAN's disbarment proceedings should continue next week even though he's been charged in #Georgia.

He already waived his Fifth Amendment privilege by starting to testify in June, they say. #legal

I will be accused of being alarmist for posting this. I’m just working to keep history from repeating itself.

In retaliation for Zuck trolling Elon on Twitter, Elon should give Zuck a Tesla so when Zuck is out driving in public he is trolled by people for driving a Tesla.

"Why stop at Georgia? The federal indictment sets out conduct in six other states in which Trump and his co-conspirators allegedly sought to overturn the election results. Will he be prosecuted in those states, too? At some point, it becomes unfair — yes, even to Trump — to go state by state."

Unfair? He committed the same crime six different times in six different places. What's next? Leniency for serial killers?

No one is above the law.

Even if they break it a lot.

Perennial dunce MTG exclaims Fani Willis should leave Trump alone.

Instead she should be “going after rapists”

Agreed. BTW: “Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll”

Gotta love those #Bidenomics. More people have jobs, but more people with jobs are homeless because the whores in Washington don't want to do anything about the housing crisis.

By prioritizing donors over voters, Washington politicians are convincing everyone that capitalism cannot work, and I'm not sure we should stop them from destroying capitalism on behalf of their wealthy donors.

The road to success for Black female lawyers has not been easy, especially as prosecutors.

Of the roughly 2,400 elected prosecutors in the US in 2019, only 45 of them were Black women, less than 2%.

Since then, two Black women have won high profile posts: Fani Willis in Fulton County, Georgia and Letitia James in New York.

They've proven to be two of Donald Trump's nemeses -- and the targets of his attacks.
