#VirginiaIsForVotingYes Come on‼️ Republicans redraw maps wherever they can to lock in power, and the second Virginia says “we’re not playing that game,” suddenly it’s controversial? The Human Rights Campaign sees the play here. Protecting democracy isn’t radical. Letting ONE party rig the game is

This isn’t about politics as usual. It’s about stopping a power grab already happening in Texas, Florida & North Carolina. The April 21 amendment is Virginia’s legal, democratic answer. Early voting is open. Make your voice count. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes #sheshed

I will add a story about her. It's a bit sad. She was also a child model, victim to this Epstein abuse. Maybe forced into a relationship with Paolo? Had his child. Fight over custody? He had her deported because she left him. She knows a lot about Trump & Melania from those dark days. Let her speak.

🏳️‍🌈 Miami Beach just unveiled its relocated rainbow crosswalk this morning! Now rebuilt in city-owned Lummus Park — just feet from the original spot on Ocean Drive & 12th Street, where the state ripped it out last year. Pride always finds a way! 🌈

Trump is having election maps redrawn so that your vote means nothing. He has already forced states like Texas to gerrymander their maps because he’s trying to hold onto power. Virginia is giving voters the right to choose their own maps. Vote YES for fair elections April 21. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Trump bought $1 million in Netflix and Warner Bros. bonds after he said he’d be “involved” in deciding whether to approve their mega-merger. Antitrust merger reviews should be based on law and facts only—not the president’s investments.

This is heartbreaking

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Secret police. People disappearing. No due process. Knocking down doors. Racially profiling American citizens. History has a name for this: authoritarianism.

JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”

JUST IN: Judge Richard Leon (GWBush) sounds skeptical of Trump's power to build WH ballroom w/o Congress' OK. "The '77 Gerald Ford swimming pool? You compare that to ripping down the East Wing & building a new East Wing? C'mon, be serious!" he told DOJ lawyer.

Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."
