Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

A better world is possible, yes. (I’m thinking of #infomacracy, somehow).
But some big brains have strongly linked the existence of nation-level democracy with the printed word.

The Trump regime has arrested three journalists (including a former anchor for CNN) for the crime of…
…being journalists who report in ways that the regime doesn’t like.
That’s where we are. The regime appears to be using the Bill of Rights as a checklist.

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

🧵 Sociology and psychology tell us that about 30% of any population of humans are authoritarians. Those people are not going to change their minds about Trumpism. Ever.
So stop trying to change their minds. As the proverb goes, it’s a waste of time and it annoys the pig.

If you can't carry your constitutionally protected firearm at a constitutionally protected protest (or around cops) without being shot, you don't actually have a constitutional right to protest or bear arms. So.

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.
