What is happening tonight in Georgia was predictable, and it was predicted. At this point, black voters bring survival kits to the polls -- snacks, water, extra cell phone batteries. I wrote this is in 2018 after the midterms. This should not be normal: apnews.com/20cc0e132d9140f48…

Compilation of election-day problems in Georgia: “‘This is unfair,’ said 80-year-old Anita Heard, who waited for hours to cast her ballot at Cross Keys High School, where poll workers couldn’t start voting computers & ran out of provisional ballots.” 1/ ajc.com/news/state--regional…

When Trump built his eponymous NYC Tower he was moving into Gambino run Manhattan, breaking with Fred Trump's Genovese crime family ties in Brooklyn & Queens. His father's warning: "that's not our territory"

I was in the voter line for over 7 hours today in Fulton county at Christian City! Unacceptable there has to be a change.

For those who are citing Hattie McDaniel's win for Gone With The Wind, please also share she wasn't allowed to sit at table with her film's white colleagues and fellow nominees. They put her at a small, isolated table far away.

.@BetoORourke on Biden winning Texas: "I am convinced that Trump ... will attempt to steal this election. Texas is the answer. If Joe Biden wins Texas... the results will be uncontestable, unambigious and we will be able to turn the page and be done with Trump once and for all."

Yes, we warned them. They didn’t listen. 😢😢😢 #gapol
May 2018: The touchscreen voting system pushed by @BrianKempGA will “introduce a second unnecessary & insecure computer above & beyond already insecure optical scanners, creating 2X as many opportunities for electronic glitches...” - by @jennycohn1 #gapol link.medium.com/cLTPWkTCb7

There is still time to help Memphis, TN avoid a Georgia meltdown, but the national media won’t report on what is about to happen there. Help! They vote on a new voting system tomorrow, & Rs want the same type of system as GA (different vendor). @msnbc @CNN @JoyAnnReid @maddow ⬇️

In 2015 DOI imposed a ban on 'baiting hibernating bears from their dens with doughnuts to kill them & using artificial light such as headlamps to scurry into wolf dens to slaughter mothers and their pups.' Trump's making it legal again.

The White House is the People’s House — it is *your* house. Surrounding it with fences and gun-wielding soldiers because trump is afraid of protesters is one of the lowest points of his pathetic presidency.

Since we’re talking about the ways policing is fundamentally messed up, let me drop one example in that is bottom-up.
A small thing most people don’t really think about that has rippling effects on the system and citizens.
