When we get out the other side of this, we should think seriously about making signs like this permanent, like the plaques in Paris that tell you that you're standing on the exact spot where a resistance fighter was shot down by the Nazis in 1944.

US authorities must immediately release journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort. Journalism is not a crime. Reporting on protests is not a crime. Arresting journalists for their reporting is a clear example of an authoritarian practice.

The one silver lining in Trump's daily rampages is that they have exposed Democrats' most insidious lie - the lie claiming that Democrats' own presidents never had the power to change much. It was always a lie. Now everyone can see that - and nobody will believe it next time.

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.

It's 7 p.m. Polls are now closed in the 7th District special election between Matt Van Epps and Aftyn Behn. (if you are in line you can still cast your ballot). The first thing we are likely to see are early vote totals from around the district.

Lol Matt Van Epps was part of the $8 million graft purchase of those pesticide-laden sock masks (which had visible holes, for those of you who don’t live here). Incredible shit. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...
Among the most controversial spending decisions of the Unified Command Group were an $8.2 million no-bid contract for 5 million cloth face masks from North Carolina sock distributor Renfro Corp. that state officials directed people not to use after reporting that the masks had been treated with an antimicrobial pesticide harmful to humans.
