🧵 1/ 2024 was not a GQP blow out. To date (votes are still being counted) the 2024 presidential election is the slimmest victory since Bush V. Gore.
1) trump has failed to secure a majority (only a plurality)
2) trump leads the popular vote by 2.4 million votes, the size of Houston Tx

Fascism wins when they scare us into silence.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Great reporting by Mel. absolutely unnecessary actions by the LAPD. "narrowly missing photographers," I think she's referring to me 🤣
LAPD now shooting 40mm foam rounds at people, some narrowly missing photographers who were stuck in between the line and protesters. Just absolutely evil shit.

This is ABSOLUTELY insane I was also there to witness this. Great job to Sean for capturing this horrific, violent attack, my photos will come soon. This is just another example of not only political violence, but right-on-right violence.

Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

It would be a brilliant idea for @lincolnproject.us to make an ad contrasting Trump and Epstein’s friendship w/ photos of them together, and quotes of them being best friends with how Trump talks about him now. Ending with if that’s how quickly he’ll turn on his friend, he’ll turn on you too

Our stock market is crashing.
Our economy is contracting.
Our government is dismantling.
Our allies are fleeing.
Our grocery prices are rising.
But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America."
So it all evens out.
