When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

While the legacy media ignored our case, Democracy Docket covered it from gavel to gavel. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.
Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Hi there, Disney and ABC C-Suite Occupants - You choose money and fear of the temporary Oval Office to occupant over the first amendment and a truly decent human, Jimmy Kimmel. I choose the first amendment and human decency over paying for your content. Subscription cancelled. Reinstate Jimmy.

As always, follow the money. Nexstar Media is allegedly responsible for pressuring Disney/ABC to indefinitely preempt Jimmy Kimmel. And it’s not hard to find out why Nexstar’s leadership is very interested in remaining in good graces with Marmalade Mussolini. #jimmykimmel #kimmel

My favorite pic from this morning with a group of fall migrating hummingbirds on stopover at Longfellow Gardens in Minneapolis.

A parallel of the Trump Admin’s actions post-Kirk:

1. What the Trump Admin is trying to do: the Playbook of Authoritarians

2. What we can do to counter it: the Playbook of Resistance

3. How his authoritarian actions play out in an American legal system
We’re Seeing The Authoritarian Playbook Unfold In Real Time
The Parallels This Week Are Uncanny - Almost Too Perfect

This is just objectively the exact opposite of the truth. Every serious effort to actually quantify the ideological valence of political violence has found the reverse of what Vance claims.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

“For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible,
the elect.” - Mark 13:22

Nobody should lose their life over their political beliefs. Resist fear, hate and violence. And turn away from those who sew it.
I recommend everyone watches this
