Tucker Carlson reminds me of Prothero from the movie V for Vendetta.
Vile racist demagogue.

the louder the GOP screams and howls against something - the more we MUST DO IT
Expand the Courts (even the lower ones)
Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act
-----
the scream and howl because they know those two things will end them. will end their abuses.

My 19 year old daughter was vaccinated today! Tears of joy!
Johnson and Johnson.
So happy.
She is in another state at school, living in an apartment with 4 other girls, 2 of which had COVID.
They are ALL now vaccinated! And so are many of their friends.
So happy! What a relief.
She went to a mass vaccination site run by the National Guard.
Thank you President Biden!

IT IS UP TO US TO CHANGE THE WEATHER. This is the crux of it I think.
Make Manchin bend.
Not sure if we're at the carrot or stick point on that. Not sure what the carrots or sticks are.
But I feel relatively certain Biden knows.
I'll be looking closely for his lead as to where we need to go with activism.
On Manchin from Ezra Levin -- what is our role now
https://twitter.com/ezralevin/status/1379976629473189889Manchin is right that democracy reforms have broad bipartisan support. Just not in the senate. Ultimately there’s not much new in his op-ed - it’s all talk until the vote is called. Like all politicians, he’ll stick his finger in the wind, and it’s up to us to change the weather.

as usual, they are simply shameless hypocritical assholes, wanting to punish corporations by removing tax breaks or anti-trust protections for taking a stand against racism and tyranny.
I mean, if we are going to allow companies to purportedly exercise a corporate conscience to refuse to make cakes for gay people, couldn't a corporate conscience also allow a company to refuse to further the purposes of racist voter disenfranchisement??

so GOP will FORCE corporations to support racist voting laws but say they're FREE to refuse LGBTQ

Even if you don't have a few bucks for them today, please keep them in mind for the long haul.
They are covering serious lawsuits against GOP voter suppression in more than a dozen states.
We really need them.
Marc Elias/Democracy Docket doing the best work on voting rights- can you support them?
