Still more fuckery afoot by disingenuous election deniers in Georgia. This wouldn’t be happening if malicious conspirators hadn’t been allowed to derail Fani Willis’ Fulton County election interference case.

"He" and "she" are preferred pronouns. Literally every kid has them, and it’s hard to speak English without them. Just the same old damp, tired, and musty BS from the GOP trying to manufacture a problem out of basic grammar.

Crush the arts (Kennedy Center), destroy the civil service (DOGE), control elections (gestures broadly), dismantle the press (gestures more broadly), decimate science (NIH), and demolish education (DeptEd). The authoritarian playbook.

The BC Conservative collapse proves the broader far-right experiment was never a governing strategy. Once it had to offer competent leadership and a serious coalition, the facade cracked. Canadians are DONE with post-COVID populism! #CDNpoli #CanadaStrong

Let’s not forget that MTG is a QAnon conspiracy theorist who literally followed school shootings survivors around to yell at them and call them liars. She’s a hateful, horrible, irredeemable person who deserves NO credit for being among the first rats to leave Donald Trump’s capsized ship.

Not good enough, Trump DOJ. Do not sweep this authoritarian injustice under the rug. DOJ’s “acknowledgment” of the obvious truth should be as loud and as public as the blatant lie that led to the false accusation and malicious prosecution of an innocent person. There must be accountability.
