FBI seizing ballots and election records from a Georgia election office isn’t normal law enforcement. Nor is it normal for the Director of National Intelligence to be involved.
If the DOJ can be used to relitigate a settled election, it can be weaponized in every future one. This is not democracy.

Please take a minute to sign our petition calling on Ubisoft to reopen its Halifax studio and reinstate all workers. We are also calling for corporate tax credits (Ubisoft got nearly $1 billion) to be tied to minimum labour standards. No more “dine & dash” at taxpayer expense!
Re-Open Ubisoft Halifax now!
On January 7, the Ubisoft Halifax studio was shut down and all 71 workers lost their jobs. This happened only three weeks after 61 of those workers became unionized members of CWA Canada. Ubisoft ha...

🗓️ Exactly three weeks ago #Iran imposed a national internet blackout to obscure civilian killings. Whitelisting and heavy filtering are still in effect.
The incident is among the most severe of its kind on record, exceeded in duration only during civil war in Myanmar and Sudan.

'Taxi' and 'cab' essentially mean the same thing, but 'cab' doesn't come from 'taxicab.'
It comes from ‘cabriolet,’ which was a type of light carriage.
‘Taxi’ comes from ‘taximeter,’ which is the device that calculates the amount of a fare based on the distance traveled.

Postscript: Here are two people who brought guns to a protest and are not only still alive, but were subsequently invited to speak at the 2020 RNC. The fact that this protest was in support of George Floyd does not imply a contradiction in the gun nut world view.
