If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done had you lived in Germany in the 1930s, you’re doing it now.

Speak truth to power even when power distorts your words to threaten you.
Right wingnuts and Donald Trump have teamed up (what else is new?) to attack Representative Ilhan Omar (D).

That quote is from Elie Wiesel. Speak out.
On Twitter:
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
The President is inciting violence against a sitting Congresswoman—and an entire group of Americans based on their religion. It’s disgusting. It’s shameful. And any elected leader who refuses to condemn it shares responsibility for it.

Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib
Enough is enough. No more silence, with NY Post and now Trump taking Ilhan’s words out of context to incite violence toward her, it’s time for more Dems to speak up. Clearly the GOP is fine with this shameful stunt, but we cannot stand by.

There isn’t a single persuadable voter in the electorate who might vote for Democrats if we abandon @IlhanMN to the wolves, but will abandon us if we defend her.All the attacks on Ilhan Omar are in bad faith. All of them. Failure to defend her isn’t smart. It’s cowardice.

They’ve finished counting the absentee ballots and Al Franken increased his lead:
Recount ends with Franken up by 226
BREAKING: AL-VALANCHE —- Franken WINS —- (NOW w/ Mega Eye Candy)
Franken Jumps Out to 225-Vote Lead on Strength of Absentee Ballots
MN-Sen: Franken By 225 After Rejected Absentee Ballot Count
Having gone through two recounts – once on a recount team and once as a “disinterested observer” – it was fascinating to watch the live counting process in Minnesota on-line. There were times I would say, “Hey, I’ve seen that before.”

Not so different fiddlers, same dance:
Police raid RNC protest sites in Twin Cities
…On Saturday afternoon, law agents surrounded 951 Iglehart Av. in St. Paul where members of I-Witness Video, a New York-based group that monitors police conduct during protests, were staying. They were detained and handcuffed but eventually freed without charges…
Massive police raids on suspected protestors in Minneapolis
…This is truly repugnant, extreme police behavior designed to intimidate protesters, police critics and others, and it ought to infuriate anyone and everyone who cares about basic liberties.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
More Protesters Arrested in the Twin Cities
…Glenn Greenwald: So what were they charged with?
Bruce Nestor: They were charged with conspiracy to commit riot, which is about as bullshit a charge — about as thin a charge — as you could possibly come up with. And I say that as a lawyer.
Glenn Greenwald: How do you distinguish between that and a protest?
Bruce: You can’t. It basically criminalizes political advocacy. I mean, the essence of conspiracy law is if a single individual takes an overt act towards accomplishing an illegal goal such as purchasing a brick, and the police then claim that someone else in his group has an intent to throw that brick, then everyone who advocates that you attend that demonstration…
Glenn: Even if you’re not intending to commit that crime…
Bruce: …even though you’re not intending to commit the crime, could all be charged with conspiracy….
It’s their party and they’ll desecrate the Constitution if they want to.
Heaven protect us from long (and short) haired protesters with large puppets and smart mouths. Puh-leaze.
