politicsrus – another one that has written narration and snippets of quotes but no CC.

[0:10] (MLK] Mind you, friends your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have to create a more perfect union. On one occasion a man was asked to count the number of bubbles in a bar of soap. On another occasion a man was asked to count the number of jelly beans in a jar -to keep them from casting their ballot.
[0:30] [Stacey Abrams?] The Governoris signing a bill that affects more Georgians – why are they doing it in private and why do they try to keep elected officials representing us out of this process?
[0:48][Rev Warnock]The Georgia election was certainly free of any consequential fraud. We counted the village not once not twice but three times
[music]
[1:20][Warnock] They don’t like the outcome. So this is democracy in reverse where Politicians have decided that instead of voters picking their representatives, their representatives have a right to cherry pick the voters.
[1:36] Dozens of prominent black business leaders in America, calling for companies to fight against georgia’s controversial voter legislation. We’re asking corporate America to publicly and directly oppose any discriminatory legislation and all measures designed to limit America’s ability to vote.
[2:16] There’s work to be done.

Meidas Touch – Projection…

Now This News – Despite pockets of crazies, I am proud of my state … and certainly proud of out Secretary of State.

Now This News – This is at least promising. We will have to see to what degree the promise is kept.

Republican Accountability Project “Weekend at Mar-a-Lago”

The Lincoln Project – “Stain”

“Ye Old Karen Shanty” – can “Release the Karen” be far behind?

Real Glenn Kirschner on Sixth Amendment Rights vs. Fifth Amendment Rights – about 13 minute but pertinent way betond just this trial.

politicsrus – “Justice on Trial” The narrative is all shown written, withe a music background. /there are a few speakers whose words are not captioned. I got a transcription of those quotes, and I’ll include time stamp where they occur.

[0:17] Our loyalty is not to South Africa; it is to South Africans. In the south, Africans are majority black and they are being excoriated.
[0:35] We are not going to [unintelligible]
[1:02] Check his pulse … check his pulse
[1:46] You cannot [keep people] deep down, marginalized, threatened, and kill people, and think we ain’t gonna stand up then eventually.

Now This News – it’s not on loop, it just repeats the intro at the end.

Republican Accountability Project

Ring of Fire – Yeah – state employees (including my bestie) have known for years this was going to happen – it was just a matter of when. But who listens to peons who actually know what they are talking about?

We really need to stop fooling with Mother Nature. She fights back aggressively.

Meidas Touch – Media slant

The Lincoln Project “Matt Gaetz”

Trae on Georgia boycotts

MSNBC – BBMM makes Bernie laugh (OK, it’s actually more of a sardonic grin.)

American Bridge – I try to include something funny that’s not political – but so much today that’s political is funny – in presentation, if not in subject – the new “Karen” can wait a day or two.

Beau talks about Beau, and a story

Keith, from yesterday – straight from Madison Suare Garden.

Really American – “Final Four”

Meidas Touch – Rep. Grace Meng takes longer than Rep Lieu to excoriate ex-Guv Huckabee – and it”s golden

Robert Reich – How Corporations Crush the Working Class

New! Randy! Rainbow!

Dedicated to Karen (with so many memes I recommend going through twice – once forthe lyrics and once for the memes, maybe the second time slowed down with the sound off.)

Beau talked about “tomorrow” yesterday – so this concerns today – and is now already over – for today.

IMPORTANT This is long, but if you watch even a little, you are likely to learn something you didn’t know (but may have suspected.) There’s even more news available because, of all people, archaeologists have been telling some tales. Google “Dimona” (or “archaeologists Dimona”) for that. I apologize that the CC is less than perfect, but it’s pretty close.

Georgia Voting Law – unbelievable.

From yesterday – no one is more moving to me than the King family members. (And there’s no ad at the end, so it’s all good)

My bestie in Florida is probably beating her head against the wall in frustration – she knew all this for years At least she says she’s safe (her home)

VoteVets – held over from yesterday because the last thing we needed on Easter was more Gaetzgate.

Teachers and students …

This is something you don’t see every day. (You’ve probably figured out by now that Now This vids don’t need to be played all the way through.)

This is also something you don’t see every day. (Pat – hanky alert)

Republican Accountability Project – I think only Stephen Miller can claim more family members excoriating him.

This is a BFD!

Tiniest Baby Bunny Ever – also not an everyday sight

Just a bunch of bunnies doing Parkour – probably happens all the time, but who’s lucky enough to see it every day?

Beau – I certainly hope he is right.

Rachel Maddow with an unusual take on McConnell – I hope she’s right.

Robert Reich – How to Tax a Billionaire

Al Franken’s first video! Longish – about 10 minutes – but a milestone.

Founders Sing – “Matt Gaetz Is Standing There”

Beau – Foreign Policy – this seems really obvious to me, but I’m sure he’s correct that it isn’t – not to most people. So let’s go ahead and put it into words.

Keith from last night
