MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

Day 224 REALITY CHECK: The election was highly compromised. There was a coup. The Supreme Court was the primary lever. Everything we have witnessed is TREASON. There’s no way out of this without MASS MOVEMENTS of the people. No one is coming to save us. We must rise up in peaceful revolution NOW.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

Unions are vital but they can't be the only solution. With inflation on the rise, prices are normalizing higher than ever. Even if inflation can be brought under control, prices will remain higher than before. As a result, minimum wage is going to become a 3 job-a-day work load for survival.

Knowing how zealously a prosecutor would make a case against me with the assumption my underpaid overworked PD is putting in just as much effort to clear my name and then seeing people defend the performance of people like Mueller or Garland really boggles me.

With leadership like Garland and Mueller unwilling to follow evidence all the way to the criminals that create it, who is supposed to insist on the people's behalf that justice is ever actually done? How could anyone put faith in any special investigator or AG again? The proof is in the pudding.

Can't blame Rosenstein for the efforts Mueller didn't even make. Maybe he couldn't... in which case he shouldn't have taken the job. Or maybe he didn't want to make those efforts, trying to uphold a tradition of not holding presidents to account. Maybe he was a FS stooge. Nobody will know now.

If I've said it once, I've said it thousands of times: Mueller was probably the worst choice short of straight handing the investigation over to Trump himself. May as well have appointed a corpse.
