You can't understand Trump and the MAGA movement without recognizing the central role of anti-Blackness to their strategy. @aapf.org's new report is essential reading for anyone invested in building the multiracial movement for democracy 👇

This is note-perfect chilling effect stuff.

The code is not complicated. Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Folks, I don't think the lawyers can make anymore sense of this.
But what APPEARS to have happened is:

1) They no-billed one count.
2) SOMEONE IN THE GOVT LEARNED THAT.
3) They put together a 2-count indictment and, w/o re-presenting the case, got them to vote for those.

The whole thing is cooked.
"So they separated it."

That's what the only indictment against Jim Comey is.

"Count Two and Three were then put" by someone who may or may not be Lindsey Halligan "in a different package."
