pay attention to Mr. Elias
I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

Welcome back to #FossilFriday!
Here is a Petoskey Stone which is Michigan's state stone. It is a colonial rugose coral known as Hexagonaria percarinata. This comes from the Middle Devonian (Givitian) Gravel Point Formation (Traverse Group). Each corallite that you see would have housed a polyp.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

And again, from the poorest to the wealthiest, all the far right is held together by one thing, their sadistic sociopathy. This has never been politics, it is the sadism of a sick society. It is the cruelty that binds them together. If that sounds incomprehensibly sick to you, you're okay.

English actress Ellen Terry. This photo looks amazingly modern but was taken 161 years ago (in 1864). Ellen Terry went on to have a distinguished acting career and passed away in 1928. (Photo by Julia Margaret Cameron).

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

Watch this with the sound off. Body language on. It appears that Johnson is nervous about the words coming out of his mouth and maybe more importantly, it seems he's uncomfortable being flanked by 2 women - however gross Miller and his wife are, their legs are boxing him in the ring for the win.
