Don’t open the champagne yet. The October 14 Fulton Country Superior Court ruling that a county elections board member MUST certify election results does not address the BIG threat: that the new MAGA-controlled STATE elections board is threatening not to certify the election if a county does not meet Trump’s idea of a fair count. (The ruling affects only the county boards, not the state board, which is where the danger is.)

Get ready for the quiet coup in November. Trump’s dreams of overturning the vote count of 2020 can now come true in 2024, thanks to a new rule passed by the MAGA-controlled Georgia State Election Board.

The voter intimidation is getting ugly. In Arizona, they’ve got guys with automatic weapons standing next to the dropboxes because it’s an open carry state. Would you take your family to drop off their votes if some guy with a gun was standing there?

This was ONLY paragraph of the Declaration of Independence removed by the Continental Congress:

“Slavery is a war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty by captivating and carrying Africans into slavery and miserable death.”

Jim Gray — who's just written an OpEd for the NY Times about how Osage history is being systematically obliterated in Oklahoma classrooms — led the uprising of the Osage Nation against Koch Oil’s plunder and theft, winning election as principal chief to fight both Koch and Koch’s enabler, the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Gray plays a key role in our film, Long Knife—produced by George DiCaprio as his son Leonardo‘s gift to Gray‘s ally and successor, Chief Standing Bear.

America’s #Osage Natives want you to know their story doesn’t end with #KillersOfTheFlowerMoon. Hundreds of Native Americans were murdered for their #oil during the Reign of Terror in the 1920s. Swindled by Koch Oil and a US “force of occupation", they’re still fighting for what is theirs.

This week, Scorsese releases his film Killers of the Flower Moon: the true story of the mass murder of the Osage and the theft of their oil wealth. But the story doesn’t end when the credits roll. For 27 years, I've been investigating what happened next...

The Koch dark money machine was first launched for the purpose of quashing the federal indictment over crimes against the Osage that promised to put Charles Koch behind bars for a decade. This is an investigation I’ve worked on quietly for 27 years: the genesis of the Koch brothers’ billions — and the creation of the Kochs’ political Death Star.

“There are those who would look at the outcome of this race and say that there's no voter suppression in Georgia. Let me be clear. Just because people endured long lines, that wrapped around buildings, some blocks long. Just because they endured the rain and the cold and all kind of tricks in order to vote, it doesn't mean that voter suppression does not exist. It simply means that you the people have decided that your voices will not be silenced.” — Raphael Warnock #RunoffGA
