1-“You know the Rubicon has been crossed when the Supreme Court issues a conservative voting rights order so at odds with settled precedent and without any sense of the moment that Chief Justice John Roberts feels constrained to dissent.”—Linda Greenhouse nytimes.com/2022/02/09/opi…

2. “This is the same John Roberts who in 1982, as a young lawyer in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, fought a crucial amendment to the Voting Rights Act of 1965; whose majority opinion in 2013 gutted one-half of the Voting Rights Act”

3. “The Supreme Court will hear Alabama’s appeal in its next term, so it mean that the 2022 elections will take place with district lines that the lower court unanimously, with two of the three judges appointed by President Donald Trump, found to be illegal.”

(1/4) We're going to answer this question ONCE AND FOR ALL. We heard it asked yet again, after his latest screed. The question is: Does Trump really believe he won the election because it was stolen? Here is the actual answer, sorry if you don't find it satisfying, but it's true:

(2/4) The answer is - it doesn't matter! It's the same. To understand this, you have to know Trump's psychopathology and his aberrant relationship to the truth. In all ways, belief or not belief - it's the same. There is no concept of "belief." Only the narrative he puts forth.

(3/4) In his universe, there is only HIM. There is only HIS urgency and his needs. Actual belief NEVER seeps into conscious thought. It's not only the CHOICE of belief that doesn't enter thought, the very CONCEPT of belief doesn't either. Thus, it doesn't matter.

THREAD: “This is a five-alarm fire…The most important issue of our time,” said Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State. A breakdown of Trump loyalists’ growing success in taking control over voting in swing states:

Arizona. Republican legislators have passed a law taking away authority over election lawsuits from the secretary of state, who’s now a Democrat, and giving it to the attorney general, a Republican. And debating another bill that would allow them to revoke election certification.

Georgia. Brad Raffensperger, helped stop Trump’s attempts to reverse the result. State legislators have since weakened his powers, and a Trump-backed candidate is running to replace Him. And passed a law that gives a commission they control the power to remove election officials.

(1/4) Many early settlers - the first ones who arrived - left England for religious reasons. They came here long on belief, but short on survival knowledge. Their new neighbors, who were living off the land, were glad to share their bounty and knowledge with them.

(2/4) Like so many relationships it started off really well. As later settlers arrived, with possessions and influence, greed and ambition and ego and entitlement took over. Our relationship with our neighbors went to shit. Our neighbors lost their land, to us. You know the rest.

(3/4) Today, we celebrate their early kindness. And we feast.
Let's also try to direct a humble thought or two toward the rest of the story - the truth. And - especially relevant to today - may we never forget there IS such a thing as truth.
