In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

theintercept.comThe Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk MemeLarry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

The thing I admire most about Jeffery Goldberg right now is that he didn't sit on his incendiary scoop, waiting to reveal it only when he could make money from it in a book, like so many other selfish people who know shocking things about this administration have done and will continue to do.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

BREAKING NEWS: President Biden Negotiates Israel-Gaza Ceasefire Trump will spend the next few years taking credit for this but he had nothing to do with it. Benjamin Netanyahu is a close friend of his—and if Netanyahu wanted Trump to be involved in this or get credit for it, it would have been so.

Trump to Wall Street today: “The media is tamed down a little bit. They like us much better now I think. If they don’t, then we’ll just have to take them on again, and we don’t want to do that.”

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

MAGA trolls on every platform flooded my comments with outrage that I’m raising my daughter to believe in compassion, critical thinking, and respect for diversity. They can attack me all they want—it won’t stop me from fighting for her future. If you’ve got my back, smash the RT button and follow!

If there is not as much uproar over today’s Kash Patel-to-FBI news as there was in the face of the Matt Gaetz-to-DOJ news, nothing matters anymore and everyone has lost their minds I actually think Gaetz may be a hair less deranged than Patel, words I cannot believe I just typed

THIS JUST IN: An investigation of Tulsi Gabbard's PACs shows much of the funds raised have gone to fundraising & to pay her advisers, not the stated mission of the PACs. Plus, she won't reveal the donors to a charity she runs. All this needs vetting. Pass it on. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
