Obstructing law enforcement?  Is that their version of “arrested for resisting arrest?”

Shit, way its going I am shocked they didn’t just pull back the fucking curtain and say black voters can now be charged with the crime of ‘gettin uppity’.

Basically, shut down voting locations in densely populated, majority Black areas that lean Democratic, cut off early voting and voting by mail, force people to stand in long lines (in the last election some people stood in line for as long as 8 hours), and then prohibit anyone from providing food or water. Taken…

You know, by making it easy to get firearms, but going out of their way to disenfranchise voters, it's almost like the GOP is deliberately trying to engineer the conditions necessary for mass political violence. 

I suggested we all don our best AntiFa gear and hand out Snapple.

Wait. No one ever said anything about a granola bar. That changes everything!

Maybe not just for water. You throw in a granola bar....now we can have a conversation....

I would just sell the water for a penny. Then it is not a gift — problem solved. 

Making it illegal to gift food and water, how very christian of them.

Well, after the hauled her off in cuffs, they had to make up a reason for it (“The governor is a big weiner and a coward, and can’t handle criticism” isn’t an arrestable offence yet), and I guess they figured hitting her with similar charges to what the Capitol insurrectionists were charged with seemed “fair” to their…

The complete BS claim is that “gifts” of water can influence voters. Raise your hand if you ever stood in an 8-hour line and decided to change your vote because someone handed you water.

long lines tend to happen in densely populated areas. Densely populated areas tend to vote democrats. Therefore it’s helping democrats, so it’s a crime.

Oh and also, your entire law system is garbage for letting this type of thing even be possible.

“[t]hrowing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.”

Cannon was charged with obstruction of law enforcement and disrupting General Assembly sessions.

Let’s all remember, once again, to thank John Roberts for making this kind of bullshit possible by gutting the VRA on the “everyone stops here now, so we can take down the stoplights” theory.

Remember the dogs and fire hoses.

The fascists know the only way they can keep any power going forward is to rig the system in any way they can. Consistent, disciplined organizing a la Stacey Abrams and aggressive legal challenges to this bullshit are critical. These fuckers are going to keep pushing the big lies about “voter fraud” and “election…

Their coup d’état by idiots failed back in January so they’re going back to their slow motion coup by legislation that has been working for them over the past few decades.

It’s his math, not mine! I’m a reporter, not an accountant, and I do not trust myself to know his finances better than he does. That said, I do intend to interview him after this is all over, and I will absolutely press him on the real total, because I have a feeling that no matter what, it will differ pretty…

this isn’t happening just in georgia. this is happening in many states in the country. it’s extremely worrying.
