#Florida school board candidate lost his race. DeSantis appointed him to the board anyway

Any questions about just how much #GOP respects democracy and the will of the people?

They don't.

Top Civil Rights Lawyer Sounds Alarm on 'Highly Orchestrated' #VoterSuppression Days Before #Election2024

Not if they don't know they've been purged, don't know about same day registration, aren't told about it at the poll (can't necessarily rely on poll workers - I registered at DMV, was turned away at the poll in a Republican county &, even after traveling to the Registrar's office, was never offered a provisional ballot, didn't know I was entitled to one) or don't have the means or time to travel to their registrar's office voting day:

But if they've already been successfully voting, then why would they check their registration status? That's not a solution.

#Florida Postal Worker caught on camera dumping 100s of election mailers, mail-in ballots

Those impacted to get new mail-in ballots in time for Election2024 thx to quick actions by coworker & officials.

Another Republican committing #Election Fraud? Or just a lazy guy? Hm.

Trump says he’s open to eliminating #IncomeTax, repeats ‘enemy from within’ rhetoric on Joe Rogan's podcast.

Gonna pay for #Defense, #NatlSecurity, Congressional salaries, Elon Musk's #NASA & defense contracts w/what - #tariffs & other sales #taxes?

Federal judge blasts DeSantis administration for threats against TV stations

That’s what a federal judge wrote Thursday as he sided w/ #Florida TV stations in an extraordinary dispute over a pro-#abortion rights TV ad.

#California rejects future #SpaceX rocket launches from their state after Musk’s ‘aggressive’ #Elections2024 activity.

Question is: should actions by the space exploration company, owned by Musk, be considered federal or private activity?

#NC Lt.Gov Mark Robinson (R) didn't exercise his vote as a member of the Council of State on #Helene emergency declaration, req'd to enable Dem #NCgov Roy Cooper to more easily mobilize rescue vehics, order evacs & begin other emergency actions.

Politics over people - that's the sick #GOP way.

Trump's disgusting "mentally impaired" comment abt Kamala #Harris doesn't just offend the 7M Americans w/some kind of mental or intellectual #disability & show he doesn't care to represent them - it says the same abt the many millions more who love & care abt them.

#SouthCarolina to execute man despite bombshell exonerating admission from key witness he lied during trial of 1 DAY before execution of death row inmate Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah.

Will that delay anything?

It's deep red South Caroline - what do you think?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/20/south-carolina-death-row-prisoner-execution

I cannot believe not 1 single news outlet or even social media account is covering the horror that is about to be inflicted on Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah, a man who the key witness in his case has recanted his testimony & sworn that Khalil was not present during commission of the crime for which he is about to be executed in a mere 1 minute's time.

South Carolina Governor Henry Dargan McMaster had stated he'd decide the man's fate just before the execution - it's scheduled for 6:00pm today.

So it looks like so the news is being reported for Khalil Divine Black Sun Allah's earlier name, Freddie Owens.

Per @MaryGreenNews on the dead bird site:

#SC Governor McMaster will not offer clemency in his case, despite questions about the key witness recanting his testimony, the only evidence in the case linking Owen to the crime.

"A neighbor to the family of Colt Gray says she didn’t even know a teen lived there until today. She says she saw what she believes was Colt take the bus to school this morning for 1st time ever - wearing a hoodie & a backpack. The father normally drives him."

I wonder if Colt Gray's seclusion was voluntary or involuntary.

Kept under wraps to avoid others from learning abt what was going on in his highly dysfunctional family?

BREAKING

I guess we know now what the #father's role in the #ApalacheeHighSchool mass shootings was: he illegally provided his son with the weapon used to kill 4, wound 6 & terrorize an entire school community.

CNN reports Colt Gray's father bought the 14yo an assault weapon, which he could not legally possess, as an Xmas present, despite there having been an investigation into the teen just months before for social media posts threatening to shoot up a school.

He owns this.

That is utter crap.

When Trump was president, many of us spoke out against the actions he took. It sounds like you would call this behavior anti-American.

A hallmark of democracy is the freedom to speak out and protest against the govt. It does not make people racists or fascists or antisemites or traitors to do so.

Or be seen as opposing Biden, whose administration she is currently a part of.

Don't make too many assumptions, tho. :) I'm a boomer. While it was hard to have to chg my attitude toward #Israel, which I'd usually supported, chg it I have. Not at all hard to do given Netanyahu (never a fan), the truly horrific over-reaction to #Oct7, the by-now obvious genocidal intent & the shockingly popular Israeli support for the war, if not for BiBi.

I'm part of the Boomer generation that was anti-Vietnam War, restarted the Women's Liberation & environmental mvmts, fought for civil rights, was all about every kind of justice. What's been happening in #Gaza is a total gut punch for us. None of us would want to be accused of antisemitism, but Gaza breaks our hearts & demands we speak out & act out to stop the genocide.
