(🆚) BREAKING NEWS: Insurrectionists are now handling 2020 election ballots and planning to issue reports to fuel Trump's violent domestic insurgency. I'm horrified to report that they've now targeted New Hampshire. I hope you will subscribe and RETWEET. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
(PS) *This* is why the major media's failure to report on the seditious January 5 Trump International Hotel conclave matters. Because now an apparent attendee at that meeting is about to be handling actual election ballots under color of law. Domestic insurgents can't be ignored.
(PS2) The New Hampshire situation is scarier than the Arizona situation in many respects—though I discuss both in this article—because the insurrectionists are refining their methods. They've learned they only need to audit a *small town*, not an whole county.

And they're right.
(PS3) Do you know how easy it is to find *one town* in a battleground state with wonky recount results, then bring in an insurrectionist to issue a minority report calling into question systemic components of that state's voting systems, which Trump (&c) will immediately amplify?
(PS4) I've said before and will say again: a domestic insurgency is always lawless, but that *doesn't* mean that all of its strategies will be *violent*. The hundreds of voter suppression bills in 45 states and these fake "recounts" are all part of an ongoing domestic insurgency.
(PS5) And look how quickly the insurgents' tactics spread: days ago it was Arizona, and now (in 2 days) it's about to be New Hampshire. Meanwhile, other than Maddow on MSNBC, it seems no one is really minding the store on all this except indie journalists and local media outlets.
(PS6) If you can believe it, the picture attached to this article is *not* random, as *that's the guy*—the Giuliani associate, the January 5 Trump International Hotel meeting attendee—who now wants to handle New Hampshire ballots and is a finalist to be permitted to do so.

This is what happens when your president isn't a business associate of that absolute monster Recep Erdogan. I'm so glad Joe did the right thing here—and so embarrassed that this couldn't have gotten done *years* ago, largely (if not exclusively) because of Republican obstruction.
(PS) I wrote a book dealing significantly with Turkey, so this tweet wasn't from the hip. For years, there was a desire for this to happen *not* from the WH but Congress, and the GOP (but as I said *not exclusively* the GOP) blocked it. Biden made the call to do this from the WH.
(PS2) I am fully aware that America had over 100 years to get this right and that, *as I initially wrote*, it *did* therefore require inaction from *both* parties. But the political will to do this spiked in recent years among both parties but was blocked in Congress by the GOP.

At issue here—as in the recent Columbus shooting—is a simple question: were officers in imminent fear of their own physical safety, or that of a third party, when they killed this man. People on the right seem not to understand this element of police SOPs. npr.org/2021/04/23/990…
When a black man is shot by police, people on the right ask every question *except* those that are relevant to the inquiry under police SOPs. You don't shoot someone just because they have a warrant. You don't shoot someone just because they're fleeing. That's not how this works.
Officers are supposed to shoot (and by the way, officers are *only trained to shoot to kill*, not injure, which automatically *raises the stakes* of the SOPs) when they or someone else are in imminent physical danger. You don't kill someone just as a way of stopping their flight.

(🆚) NEW at PROOF: This January 6 exposé reveals the harrowing details behind the actions of a domestic extremist group no one discusses for the most offensive reason imaginable: because it's composed entirely of women. I hope you'll subscribe and RETWEET. sethabramson.substack.com/p/women-for-am…
(CODA) Dropped due to space limits:
▪️ Kremer founded a PAC with Roger Stone's ex-wife
▪️ Kremer faces a federal campaign-finance probe
▪️ Kremer said—post-Chauvin verdict—people would "riot regardless...[as they have a] free ticket for a shopping spree" rantt.com/scoop-women-fo…
(PS) I post a long story exposing infighting between Stop the Steal (Roger Stone), Women for America First (Amy Kremer) and the Eighty Percent Coalition (Cindy Chafian) caused by Trump minions Guilfoyle and Wren pre-insurrection, and I'm quickly directed to this from 3 hours ago:

BREAKING NEWS (live on-air, CNN): Judge in Derek Chauvin Case Concedes That Recent Public Statement By Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) May Give Chauvin and Defense Team Grounds for Appeal and Declaration of Mistrial By Way of Having Intimidated and Thereby Tainted the Jury
(PS) For anyone who is confused about what "sequestration" means, jurors were instructed not to watch the news during the course of the trial, but that is *not* sequestration (i.e., physical isolation). The jury is *now* sequestered—as of today—for purpose of their deliberations.
(PS2) I agree with the judge that the statement of a member of Congress is unlikely to be significant enough to any juror to prejudice them. As an entirely separate matter, I *do* think the judge should have sequestered the jury from the beginning of the trial. That was a fail.

Just so I'm clear on the time-space distortion you traveled through before writing this, you're saying that Adam Toledo both (a) tossed the gun and (b) put his hands up in 838 milliseconds? How long does it take you to brush your teeth in the morning? Is it measurable in seconds?
(PS) If you believe someone can toss a gun *and* put their hands up in 838 milliseconds, especially when footage from a business across an empty lot shows the toss was a relatively slow underhand, please replace Ezra Miller in the next Justice League
(PS2) I guess another good question would be why did the officer tell Toledo to put his hands up? Why not just shoot him when he saw him holding a gun? What was it about the order to put his hands up or Toledo putting his hands up that made the officer or Toledo safer in any way?

Those who read PROOF might've been surprised at the text below, wondering why the insurrectionists would be *anti-police*. Here's the key to understanding it: the "Do your job!" chant was intended to *enlist* police to get violent with antifa, BLM, and media.

Which they now are.
So when you hear from CNN journalists that MN cops are getting aggressive with media—and proudly so—in a way U.S. journalists haven't seen before, understand that this is *part of the domestic insurgency*. Explicitly. The Proud Boys *on Insurrection Day* were chanting for this.
Those of us on the political left are mystified to see the police respond to police violence with *more* police violence. But that's because we live in different reality streams. Many cops believe there *is* a domestic insurgency right now—one composed of antifa, BLM, and media.
