Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Because the term #KavanaughStop is an appropriate description of the lawless act that it is. 🤷‍♂️
Yet again, #RepublicanSexualPredators ignore the Constitution in order to achieve their nefarious objectives. 😡⚖️

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Another Lewandowski associate was awarded a $63M DHS contract. I don't know if Lewandowski's dick is 4" longer than other men's but he's got a set of brass. What do you think his cut is on $90M?

FYI, that's the period when Poso was separating from his first wife; the new Slate article says he listed a MD apartment in his 2017 divorce papers. Poso first appears with Tatsiana Gorbach in Dec. 2016, is engaged by June 2017, marries her in Belarus in July. Fast work.

The President of the United States is a child rapist & batshit crazy malignant narcissist…

He doesn’t want to go to jail so he never wants to leave office…

He is trying to foment civil war so he can evolve a police state & forego elections…

In addition to cleaning house at the CDC today, they’ve “RIF’d” CISA as well. It’s telling what they’ve decided are “Democrat-oriented” agencies. Unsettling thread on the consequences of CISA’s decimation 👇

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Did you know that the federal court system is hacked by the Russians? To the point that the courts are afraid to put documents into their own computer systems.

Exclusive: Chief Justice “Stonewalls Congress" on PACER Hack, Senator Says

The Courts sidestep a congressional request for independent review. Post-hack procedures have significantly reduced transparency in the judicial system.
