Donald Trump has fired the head of the National Archives, the government agency that protects the Constitution and other historic documents, apparently out of revenge for asking him to return classified documents he stole when he left the White House the first time.

This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

A top Republican is now contradicting Trump on the plane crash. Rep. Sam Graves, a pilot and the Missouri Republican in charge of overseeing the Federal Aviation Administration in the House, says that DEI had nothing to do with the plane crash that killed 67 people this week.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

Trump has given clemency to every criminal involved in the insurrection to overthrow the US government, including those who attacked police officers. Just like Andrew Johnson, who pardoned Confederate traitors who fought against the US. This is not about law and order. This is about white supremacy.

The extraordinary pardons and commutations extended to those who committed both violent and nonviolent crimes on Jan. 6, including assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.
