Trying to convince people to take away power from themselves is a tough sell. That’s why there’s now so much disinformation taking place about Issue 1, George Orwell would blush.

This is Jim Crow-esque torture. Very inhumane. That's who these ppl who love Trump and his ilk see us.
It angers me to no end but this is why 🇺🇸 is so divided. Thinking these modern day elections are just politics as usual. Dems vs GOP.
No its right vs wrong. Fascism vs Democracy. #Spoutible

Thurgood Du Bois @GodzChild4EvaI don't see Trump and his lawyers being able to play the delay game. Not with this judge.
My guess is we'll get a trial this year and he'll get no less than 20 years in prison.
And he'll die in prison if we keep a Dem president in that office. We got work to do. #Spoutible #TrumpArraignmentDay05:05 PM - Aug 03, 2023![Picture]()

Sigh.
Pro tip: strong people don't trash talk much. They don't have to overcompensate.
But words matter. DeSantis's fake bluster could drive real harm. This should be bad.

Geraldo said President Biden should pardon Donald Trump for the good of the country.
Smash the ECHO button if you agree that this mofo should NEVER be pardoned.

We got to this point because over 100 million people couldn't be bothered to vote in a Presidential election. They couldn't be bothered to vote, because they have received a steady diet of missives that suggest that even if they do, nothing will change or their vote won't really count.

ChattJazz @ChattJazzRachel Maddow is correct; the question isn't how did we get to the point of indicting a former President but how we got to the point Trump could have ever been elected in the first place?06:12 AM - Aug 03, 2023

A vote for anyone but Biden and Harris (or no vote at all) is a vote for fascism, full stop.
Sure, go ahead and argue for whatever policy positions you feel are best, but when it comes to voting, pull your head out of the sand, the bubble, or your ass and fight the common enemy. It's now or never.
