The Titanic could not sink fast enough. I was rooting for the iceberg.
So the NYPD considers a large crowd of black people to be a disaster equivalent to 911 (2nd quote from a different article to give context about "level 4"). Been seeing this same racist bullshit in Chicago where a few dozen kids coming to the loop is a "teen takeover" that the mayor must address

The GOP and Fox rant about Hunter. Do they know about Ivanka’s sweet deals? I don’t recall Fox ranting about Ivanka’s nepotism and the really big money that earned her.

Just when you thought #Rudy couldn't possibly get any more #pathetic...
He's clearly losing his mind over being #coConspirator1 in the latest #Trump #indictment, and to cope with that disgraceful reality he decided to randomly attack... #MattDamon? Lolwut? First, he used a #homophobic slur to describe Damon, then he claimed the actor is 5'2", as if his height was something shameful. And BTW, Damon is 5'10". Rudy, on the other hand is 5'9“! 🤣

@dangillmor. Yes. Just listened to pre-#indictment coverage on #NPR's #HereAndNow and am nauseous. The story simply recapitulated #Trump's claims about his #freespeech being attacked, which is factually not the case. At no point, though, did the interviewer ask the person with whom she was speaking whether #Trump's claims were true or false. Please #media, I beg of you, do better. Our #democracy is at stake.
Timoth Snyder nails it, and it can't be said often enough:
"That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial."

There is no First Amendment right to overturn an election: Trump’s lawyers plan to argue he had a First Amendment right to subvert the 2020 election. He didn’t.

With today's Trump indictment RE: jan. 6, the media has decided to run with "free speech vs. lying to foment an insurrection, how can we know what's right?"
Nonsense.
You aren't free to:
Commit perjury
Yell "fire" in a crowded theater
Call in a bomb threat
Ask a hitman to kill your ex
Steal someone else's IP
Defame someone
Commit libel or slander
or, BTW, foment an insurrection
Sitting U.S. senator from #Wisconsin mentioned in #Trump #indictment.

“Paragraph 101 of the indictment outlines U.S. Ron Johnson's involvement in a failed attempt to hand slates of false electors to Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6.”
#Georgia you're up!
HEADS UP: The main road around the Fulton County courthouse in Atlanta, Georgia is set to close to general traffic starting Monday morning, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday afternoon.
When I was a kid, I asked: how long until the next Christmas?
Now that I’m an adult, I ask: how long until the next arraignment?

One of the two major parties has shown a willingness to overturn an election, to deprive the people of their votes and their civil rights. They operated as an effectively well-oiled machine to carry out that goal. #Trump's name may be on the #indictment, but the truth is the charges are the GOPs to share. #Coup #RepublicansAreTheProblem
