The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony.
13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.

A really important tweet, linking to a published letter, by two emminent UK stroke colleagues. Highlights the need for conference organisers to consider potential venues very carefully. @UKStrokeForum @ESOstroke @StrokeEurope @TheStrokeAssoc
Human rights should never be ignored when choosing a conference location. The World Stroke congress should never have been held in a location where basic human rights and therefore the safety of participants can not be guaranteed. @NikolaSprigg

We need a big movement like Rock Against Racism again. Although i suspect it's many of the National front supporyers now in their 60s and 70s voting for this slug . I remember @Buzzcocks Manchester reggae band X-O-Dus and @steelpulse doing this song together at the end of the R.A.R gig in Alec Park Moss Side in 78 . A pivotal moment for many of our generation m.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSurs…
