I am listening in on the arraignment of dozens of people who were arrested at the pro-Trump riots and protests at the Capitol yesterday. Will tweet what I find out.

The first person arraigned in connection with yesterday's riots is Michael Amos from FL. Charges: Unlawful entry to the capitol building & violation of curfew. The Judge says he disobeyed Capitol Police & Metropolitan Police Dept. He is released pending trial, but banned from DC.

He was held overnight. He said his phone is dead, and that he's staying in a hotel outside of the DC area and that he has to drive through DC to go home to Florida. The government agrees to allow him to drive through the city if he doesn't get out of the car. He has no priors.

During this arraignment Metro Police released a list of all those arrested yesterday in connection with the riots/break into the capitol building, as well as the charges. Not all of them will be arraigned today:

Next is David Ross from MA, also charged w curfew violation, unlawful entry to the capitol. They read him his standard rights and ask him if he understands his rights. He responds, "Uh, kinda?" They clarify them and he pleads not guilty. Judge orders him to stay out of DC.

Does anybody want to know how the Darkness to Light Theme came along?

1/ Will Republican voter suppression efforts be enough to block the tens of millions of Americans who have discovered that Trump and the Republicans don't give a damn about them >> per https://t.co/dw0Y01pwXG by Thom_Hartmann >>

The basis of this entire crisis is that Republicans are still so upset they got caught in massive amounts of criminal misconduct between 2016-2020 they will do and say anything to smear everyone else with the same accusations that led to their own tarnished reputations.

PM @narendramodi's vision 'sabka saath sabka vikas', reflects in #JalJeevanMission to provide assured tap water supply to every rural household by 2024.

#JJM is implemented in partnership with States to ‘improve quality of life’ & enhance ‘ease of living’.

@PMOIndia

To fulfill the aspirations of every family to have piped water supply in their home, #JalJeevanMission aims to provide tap water connection to every rural household by 2024 so that people do not have to wait in a queue to fetch water or depend on tankers/ trains during summers.

#JalJeevanMission aims for universal coverage of all rural households by following the principle of ‘equity and inclusiveness’, i.e. every family in the village gets tap water connection and ‘no one is left behind’.

@PMOIndia @gssjodhpur

Under #JalJeevanMission, every family, irrespective of their socio-economic background, to have an assured piped water supply in their home. The principle is ‘no one is left out’.

@PMOIndia @gssjodhpur

#JalJeevanMission is making relentless efforts to bring improvements in the lives of people by ensuring the provision of potable water supply to bridge the rural-urban divide in terms of such a basic necessity of life.

About some of the assertions in this Republican letter justifying opposition to a democratic election and in favor of the very undemocratic mass disenfranchisement of millions upon millions of voters...a thread:

"America is a Republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections. Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law."
It is a Republic or is supposed to be. And in 2020 they did, as affirmed repeatedly in state and federal court

"When the voters fairly decide an election, pursuant to the rule of law, the losing candidate should acknowledge and respect the legitimacy of that election. And, if the voters choose to elect a new office-holder, our Nation should have a peaceful transfer of power." TRUE

"The election of 2020 like the election of 2016 was hard fought and, in many swing states, narrowly decided. The 2020 election, however, featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities." see next

Several of the states Trump is talking about -- like Michigan and PA -- were closer in 2016. But then, the losing candidate conceded and didn't go on with false and flimsy fraud allegations. What is unprecedented is Trump's false allegations about voter fraud and the GOP buy-in

.@Tyler_t_moran and Esther Olavarria.

Johnny Nash sums up my feelings at this, because words don’t suffice.

https://t.co/r3apSHRBuc

I know it’s so hard for folks to understand how important this is, even for me. I don’t have words. My mind is all garbling with how incredible Esther and @tyler_t_moran are.

Both of them are incredibly humble. Both likely annoyed right now at the fuss. “Let’s get to work!”

.@Tyler_t_moran serving the office of @SenatorReid would come to Nevada and meet with families to see what the problems were in our communities. She used to go to their homes (not typical) eat with them and in that beautiful language that can only be shared around food -

would ask them what was wrong. People would look at me asking for cues “just dígale” and they would unleash what ICE had done to them, how a notario had explained something to them, as they pulled out all the receipts from a plastic bag and handed them to @tyler_t_moran -

.@Tyler_t_moran would patiently sit there with them and ask “por que!?” She would turn to us and say “is this common?” *nods* her calm demeanor would turn slightly pink as anger flowed but she’d keep asking, pulling out her little notebook and pen. A week later she’d contact -

The plot to kidnap (and potentially kill) the governor of Michigan isn’t just the feds rolling up a dumbass to pad their statistics. It’s one to note.

Remember: never never never trust the journos; always always always read the actual

There are many (some with quite prominent followings) on social media with the view that the majors are tainted and push the message that both majors are the same. I argue that this is 100% a purely political agenda.

These people link Liberal and Labor together as one in the same and blame Labor for the Liberal’s Bills, practices, programs and behaviour. These people are minor party and IND supporters.

I don’t buy the position that “speaking up against the majors” is a pure non-political pursuit of social democracy, championed by people who are much better thinkers than the partisan aligned of the majors. I completely reject this idea and that is often the theme on Twitter.

I would argue it is a deeply entrenched political campaign based on the belief that Individualism should take prominence over collective platforms the major parties have based on their central ideology.

I would also argue that it is based on Individualism through ego, as they believe the minor parties and Independents will represent their view (often falsely represented as speaking for my community, which is a technical impossibility) or speaking for “my issue”.

A thread on the #ElectoralCollege as voting gets underway. This is day that 538 privileged people out of 239 million eligible voters actually get to vote for president and vice president. 1/11

A reminder that "college" is probably the wrong term. That word does not appear in the US Constitution. By design, the full set of electors never actually meets as a group. 2/11

This bizarre and antiquated system violates the fundamental norm of "one person, one vote." States such as mine get showered with attention from the campaigns while most others are ignored. It is well known that voter turnout is higher in the battleground states. 3/11

What is often overlooked is the system also makes elections less secure. An election that turns on a few states is easier for a malicious actor to get a foothold. Hacking a decentralized national system is nearly impossible, but targeting a few states is not. 4/11

The system also fosters partisan disputes. When it all comes down to a few battlegrounds, political parties are incentivized to manipulate election rules, file lawsuits, & generally do all they can to win by small margins. 5/11

🚨Things I've PROVEN since the day after the election🚨

President-Elect Joe Biden is asked if he thinks it’s a good idea for House Democrats to introduce articles of impeachment, as early as Monday. Biden says he’s long thought Trump was unfit for the job, says what Congress does is up to them. Says his priority is COVID.

Biden doesn’t say one way or another whether he supports impeaching Donald Trump a second time. Says it’s up to the Congress.

Biden says the next COVID relief package will be in the trillions of dollars. Details to be released next Thursday. Says if the US does not act now, it will get much worse later.

Biden says yes, when asked if the rioters stormed the Capitol should be treated as domestic terrorists. Calls them thugs. Says it will be a judgment for the Justice department for what the charges should be.

Biden says there should be a full blown investigation, noting the statement given earlier today by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (R) who said his national guard troops were ready to help, but he couldn’t get authorization.

1. “Democrats have launched an impeachment of the president with no argument, no evidence, no witnesses, no due process of any kind,

Every one of these Trump election suits is the same gobbledygook garbage barge:

FRAUD!

It coulda happened.

Well, no, we can't prove it.

But just to be safe, best let the gerrymandered legislature give us all the electoral votes!

https://t.co/Z926668H05

They're like SO MAD YOU GUYS that these local officials submitted grant proposals for their own cities and not the whole state. Unlegal!

Would you faint from shock if I told you that the statute which supposedly says ballot drop boxes are "so seriously in violation of the Wisconsin Election Code" doesn't actually mention drop boxes?

Maybe you should sit down.

The Trump campaign has known about the dropboxes since mid-August, but it didn't get around to suing until four weeks after the election?

Let me introduce you to my friend Doctrine O. Laches. We met THE FIRST MONTH OF LAW SCHOOL.

Can the Trump campaign interest you in some wild speculation about evil ballot harvesters taking advantage of illegal drop boxes (they're not illegal) to commit massive vote fraud?

It coulda happened! Like Jesus riding a dinosaur. Were you there???

My take on 2024 election
(Just an opinion)

Why do I have the feeling that Donald Trump’s job was to secure the integrity of our elections.

While Ted Cruz incites sedition over election results in swing states Trump lost, Cruz's own state of Texas doesn't pass a smell test.

Do we just accept their election results without question?

A TX county who's actually SUING Trump also voted for him for the 1st time ever?🤔👇

Zapata County TX is 95% Hispanic/Latino

In Feb 2020 County Commissioners voted 5-0 to deny entry to US Customs & Border Protection

Then the County actually SUED Trumps WH claiming the building of the wall was a racist assault on residents

But Trump had a record breaking win?🤔

Since 1920 Zapata County hadn't voted for a Republican President
In 2016 Clinton trounced Trump winning 2-1
Yet in 2020 Trump flipped a 33-pt loss
into a 5-pt win?

We should accept this without question?

Especially considering that in 2020 Dems won EVERY OTHER RACE in Zapata

Zapata County had 725 new voters

2016 Votes for Prez =3142
2020 Votes for Prez = 3867

Did these new voters all vote for Trump? Could be since Trump got over 1000 new votes

2016 Trump Votes =1029
2020 Trump Votes = 2032

In 2020 Biden got 12% LESS VOTES than Hillary in 2016🤔

When I looked at Kentucky I found a county with more registered voters than age-eligible people. Same in Zapata.

In 2018 they estimated 6,683 people above the age of 18
In 2020 they had 8,257 registered voters

Zapata seems to have 24% MORE registered voters than people over 18?
