Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."

Former special counsel Robert Mueller was asked if Russia is still interfering in our elections. He responded “They’re doing it as we sit here” during his 2019 congressional testimony.

Heads up: The Russian government has been targeting Americans with covert online disinformation operations seeking to undermine public confidence the midterms — using a familiar playbook in an attempt to inject chaos into the voting season, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

What happened to MS Now this evening? The usual evening lineup has been replaced with the afternoon shows. It’s still good but I’m curious to know why.

Less than 6% of undocumented migrants are known to have committed crimes. Herr Miller doesn't care. He insists that "illegals" are rapist, murderers, and members of terrorists' organizations. Meanwhile, terrorizing people without DUE PROCESS in mosquito land under tents in cages is okay.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

So. Resident orcas are touchy-feely all the time. They touch each other as they swim. They seem to be holding hands, or rather touching their pec fins as they travel in unison. They bite off lengths of kelp, placing the kelp between them to rub along their sides. www.theguardian.com/environment/...?

Be more like Marc Elias. He exemplifies what it means to be a “fighter.” It’s that attitude of acknowledging the fear, flipping the source of it bird, and then walking toward it, 100% invested in victory. There are only a handful of people in politics right now that inspire me. Marc is #1

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning. I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism. I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.

The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!” A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵

4 Snake River dams kill salmon. Lack of salmon starves precious So. Resident orcas but 1 $billion/year in Federal money into the region to maintain the dams, the locks, the turbines, and failed mitigation floods into the communities buys blind political support to keep the dams, as those orcas die.

Criminals are taking over because Justice failed all term. Trump campaign staffed polls in swing states, breached election machines, & worked with Russia 8yrs. 2024 Election needs investigation. National Security threat. Special Counsel warranted. America deserves better.

Putin's massive troll armies inundate the WWW in all Democratic Nations - always spewing the same type division of any kind: xenophobia/"otherness", white nationalism, faux"Christian" religion, anti-LGBTQ, vast absurd anti-democracy/anti-USA conspiracies, slander against all honorable politicians...

The salmon hat story plus reports from 1987 shows they have a sense of humor. And salmon mean something to these salmon-eating orcas. The way they relate to salmon is learned, and they can change the meaning from food to toy. That's not something many animals can do, maybe just orcas and humans.

Could Biden declare the election results invalid? As an official act it would now be legal. The results are invalid due to half the electorate being targeted by disinformation psyops warfare conducted by a foreign adversary. Then Biden could resign and hand the presidency over to Harris. Why not?

I like the name Bluesky and the logo. And Chris Hayes recommends it. I’m in the Salish Sea in PNW. Orcas can communicate beyond our understanding. I’m also deep into cyberwarfare psyops by Putin’s GRU to insert disinformation into the American lexicon to destroy our democracy.

You are up to date.
