Yesterday, New York Republicans wore the Star of David to compare the treatment of January 6th Capitol insurrectionists to Holocaust victims.
The irony of using that poem that warns of silence when they “came for the socialists” when Republicans rail on socialism 24/7.
@nyuniversity professor Mark Crispin Miller also wore a Star of David to compare the treatment of January 6th insurrectionists to the Nazi’s treatment of Jews during the Holocaust.

🚨 Republicans in Joe Manchin’s home state of West Virginia have introduced a bill to close many curbside voting locations and force disabled voters to perpetually wait until “no voters are voting or waiting to vote” at remaining locations.
This bill would make it harder for a those with disabilities, a protected class of people, to vote, forcing them to be perpetually at the back of the line until able-bodied voters have finished voting.
Under the bill, if a location has handicap access, then no curbside voting will be offered.
Senator Joe Manchin’s own state of West Virginia has introduced 4 bills to restrict voting access.
In October, Manchin urged early voting and absentee ballots, but is currently upholding the filibuster and blocking voting rights.
What West Virginian voter suppression bills is Joe Manchin refusing to stop? Glad you asked.
HB 2607 restricts handicapped voting and potentially ensures their vote won’t count. Curbside voters have to wait for no one to be in line in order to vote.
HB 2666 sets to put restrictions on absentee ballots.
