HAPPENING NOW at the Statehouse 📍
They unveiled this new redistricting map TODAY and are voting on it TOMORROW at 10am. Less than 24 hours for public input. This is unconstitutional secret dealing in plain sight. Tomorrow, 10am, Room 313 at the Statehouse- BE THERE.

Just want to reiterate that there’s no reason for this. There is no increase in crime. There are no riots. There’s no insurrection. They’re doing this without provocation. At least until they create one.
“.. A top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states .. to form ‘quick reaction forces’ trained in ‘riot control’, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive ..”

If you want an example of what dictators and their minions do to satirists, look to the great Syrian cartoonist Ali Ferzat.

As the Bashar Assad regime started to crumble in 2011, Ferzat produced a series of a scathing cartoons. He was severely beaten by secret police thugs. They broke both hands.
