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?

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 …

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.

Meidas Touch – Of course, this is not evidence….

Really American

Ring of fire – The weirdness never stops with Republicans, does it.

Also Ring of Fire – empty Greene is calling this “The Mark of the Beast” – or, more specifically, “Biden’s Mark of the Beast.”

Rocky Mountain Mike – maybe not his best, but that’s a high bar to have to meet, and it’s very pertinent.

Do Octopuses Dream?

This is 6:25, and if you don’t have time for the whole video, don’t even start. I honestly don’t think his answer is the only answer, but I do think it should be included – broadly and decisively.

Republican Accountability Project also has 6 new ads each calling out a dfferent Rep by name. I suspect there will be more, since these six are merely the worst of the worst.

Meidas Touch – this is 9 minutes at regular speed, and I’d recommend 75% personally. But ut does have a great overview of Florida’s response to CoViD-19, and Gov. DeSantis generally.

Ring of Fire – HR1/S1 shenanigans

Corey Ryan Forrester – “Youth Pastor Steve” In case you haven’t heard this story, the shoes are real, and they are Nikes, but they are Nikes altered by a third party before being offered for sale to the public. Nike had nothing to do with the alterations.

Trae also addressed the shoes, but as if he was his father (who hated censorship of any kind.)

Beau on contractors and how their existence affects our abiility to get out.
