AIPAC, a rightwing conservative, quasi-religious, foreign organization, is interfering with U.S. elections and shaping who is and who isn’t a member of Congress.
AIPAC is currently targeting progressives like Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, Jamaal Bowman, Greg Casar, Delia Ramirez, Maxwell Frost, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and others who do not feel beholden to Israel and are sympathetic to Palestinians.
If AIPAC was a super PAC funded by North Korea, or China, or Russia, or Iran—and interfering in elections by financing the campaigns of specific candidates—almost every member of Congress would be freaking out. And rightly so. This is no different.
“The use of our courts by ideologues and craven partisans to subvert our elections is predicated on a lack of faith in the intelligence of America’s voters and a fear that Donald Trump’s re-election will end their determined efforts to re-engineer our social, economic, and cultural norms to fit their vision for a new America based on overtly Marxist ideals.”
christian fascism is here. don't let anyone tell you or try to convince you that voting democrat is the wrong choice. what little democracy we have left is on the ballot. before we can help anyone outside the united states, there must be democracy in america. without it, we are of no use to anyone anywhere.
Reasons given by college students for why voter ID is "racist":
Black people less likely to have ID, or particular type of ID
Black people can't get to the DMV
Black people can't afford the internet
Black people don't know how to use the internet.
Black people don't have data on their phones or don't know how to use it
Black people are uninformed
Black people are often felons
Most of them appear to just be regurgitating ACLU talking points as virtuous "antiracism" activism and have never actually considered how infantilizing and actually racist these beliefs about black citizens are. It was genuinely shocking to me to hear these things come out of their mouths as virtuous progressive beliefs, rather than from a white Southern sheriff from the 60s.
Where I'm from, voter ID is required. It's not always requested, and I've only had to show mine a couple of times ever. But they do random spot checks and nobody thinks any more of it than showing your ID when you open a bank account or collect a parcel from the post office. (Seriously, how do they think black people pick up a parcel from the post office?)
Now, it's possible that there could be racial profiling when asking for voter ID, and that should certainly be addressed. But the idea that black Americans can live their entire lives in their own country without having an ID, knowing where the DMV Is or how to get there, and without being able to figure out the most basic aspects of "the internet" is full-blown progressive racism. That is actual white supremacy.
You would think after the elections of 2000, 2016 and 2020, there would be bipartisan agreement to improve the integrity of elections. But apparently not.
SCOTT HALL has pleaded GUILTY to 5 Counts. He was initially charged with:
1 count of RICO, 2 counts of Consp. to Commit Election Fraud, 1 count of Consp. to Commit Computer Theft, 1 count of Consp. to Commit Computer Trespass, 1 count of Consp. to Commit Computer Invasion of Privacy, & 1 count of Consp. to Defraud the State.
Hall is pleading to misdemeanors only as part of the agreement. He will be on probation for FIVE YEARS, fined $5,000 dollars, conduct 200 hours of community service, and write a letter of apology to the state of Georgia.
A live video of a court proceeding showed Hall pleaded guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit intentional interference with the performance of election duties, a misdemeanor charge. The plea agreement calls for Hall to be sentenced to five years of probation and pay a $5,000 fine, a prosecutor said at the hearing.
He will also be required to testify against other defendants in the case.
Hall chartered the plane to Coffee County, GA and was present during the voting machine break-in. He flipped to get probation.
