Rs are trying to push thru the “SAVE Act” creating a bureaucratic nightmare for new voters (eg college students), married women, & voters trying to re-register (after being wrongly purged by the GOP) or trying to fix their registration if GOP operatives switch it w/o their consent (as has happened).
Related and important! They are attacking elections on multiple fronts.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Here’s my @thenation.com post on the arrest of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, the violation of the First Amendment, and Trump’s ongoing attempts to change the face of his victims and spark a race war.
The Trump Administration Arrested Don Lemon Like He Was a Fugitive Slave
Lemon’s arrest is not only a clear violation of the First Amendment but a blatant throwback to the Constitution’s long-discarded Fugitive Slave Clause.
