"Moms for Liberty" are not "right wing". They are straight up fascists.

this has been going the last few years although they might be ramping up and its not just that group but a recent conservative tactic to go for local stuff where not many people are motivated to run and less of the electorate look into it and vote.

I look forward to his conviction on multiple felony charges.

Wow. That is a crazy number.

You can see why the Republicans cherish this guy.

Only 80,000 pages? I’m sure there’s more.

If convicted, Santos faces up to 20 years in prison.

We’ll see…

@btaf45 I mean, apart from everything he says, and everything he does, what do they really have against him? :)

Well, he borrowed my tractor and I’d rather like it back.

It was a lambo…

Right blames something on Soros: lol one man doesn’t have that much power

But this dude is totally pulling all the strings of the government, the king of dark money, got it

Remember bribing Supreme Court Justices is exactly like literacy programs and organizing to expand voting rights.

chaogomu ,

The left doesn't say that one man doesn't have the power to pull strings, the left says that there's no evidence of Soros doing it.

A subtle distinction, but an important one.

Leonard Leo literally hand-picked every judge that Donald Trump appointed, all 234 of them, including 3 supreme court justices.

Leo then paid for nonsense cases to be filed in jurisdictions with friendly (read his own hand-picked) judges. These cases were all based on lies. Because it never mattered if there was any truth to them. They then get kicked up the chain to Leo's hand-picked supreme court, where the justices rule how Leo wanted from the beginning. Well, 3 hand-picked, and 1 bribed, all that's needed from there is to get Alito to fall in line, and that man has Fox News brain so bad that it's scary.

And that's how one man can shape the law in any way he wants, even if congress and the presidency are controlled by Democrats

bedrooms ,

You don't have to say it's subtle. It's far from that to people who can read.

sensibilidades ,

That's a nice straw man you made there. Unless, of course, you're specifically aware of anyone in this thread making that argument.

The classic "why don't people agree with me when I try to blame Jews for global conspiracies?"

Arm yourselves and organize. Politicians aren't going to bite the hand that feeds them.

Can anyone explain to me how guns will help if the national guard is at your door? Or the military? Do people really think that they could go to war against the United States because the US government becomes overrun by fascists?

At worst you'll be labeled a terrorist and immediately murdered. Even if you ignore the military, brandishing a gun Infront of a cop is a death sentence (if you aren't white).

The black panthers are really the best example of the (few) benefits and many costs of armed community defense. It's much worse now, too.

What, no period talk until 6th grade? Did no one tell them the average age of menarche has been declining for a while, and it's not unusual for 9-10 year olds to start menstruating? If anything they should be covering it for even younger kids than before.

Bluskale ,

That’s certainly one of the dumbest culture war legislations in recent history… I don’t even see any particular ideological justification for this either.

Maryland legalization of recreational marijuana comes into effect today, accompanied by record expungement. That's kinda notable.

Nice to have more positive changes!

Not advocating for it but we don't need to be locking people up or scarring them for life over that stuff.
