Know his name: Maj. Gamaliel Turner. He conceived this weapon that may be #Ukraine’s last, best hope of stopping Putin’s cruel armored columns. #MemorialDay gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
I’m in this soldier’s home near Fort Benning, Georgia because his ballot was personally challenged by the county Chairman of the Republican Party. We will hunt him and confront him. gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
In World War II, Black soldiers called this ‘The War on Two Fronts’: the fight for democracy in Europe — and democracy in America. #MemorialDay2022

On this #MemorialDay, as GOP Gov. Brian Kemp parades nearby with his flags, I know what Kemp does not: that Kemp’s freedom and #Ukraine’s freedom and my freedom and your freedom depend on this Black warrior’s freedom. On his right to vote. gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…
Maj. Gamaliel Turner, I salute you and thank you for your service. Your service on two fronts. gregpalast.com/warrior-on-two…

To #Putin’s useful idiots who say that sending weapons to #Ukraine “just prolongs the war”~~ meaning , “#Zelenskyy should just surrender”... I’m old enough to remember when #Russia supplied weapons to Vietnam against the American invasion... 🧵
The Russian equipment prolonged the war, that’s true, prolonged long enough to allow Vietnam‘s victory. And that was good for the US, curtailing America’s imperial fantasies and producing in Vietnam a staunch US ally...
And if it were not for weapons from the French, that bastard German King George would’ve crushed our revolution.

State Senator Doug Mastriano, Donald Trump’s pick in the Republican Primary for Governor of #Pennsylvania, spent thousands to lead a busload of protesters to the January 6 “protest” at the Capitol in Washington. gregpalast.com/two-january-6t…
His chosen running mate for Lt. Governor (PA elects Gov and Lt. Gov separately) is Teddy Daniels. Daniels was also at the January 6th Capitol protests. gregpalast.com/two-january-6t…
In 2021, PIF photojournalist @ZDRoberts filmed Daniels speaking at the Unification Church — made famous by their worship services that include AR-15’s. Here is the wannabe Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania...

#2000Mules: Dinesh D’Souza’s new film claims to prove the 2020 election was stolen by stuffing drop-boxes with 817,765 fraudulent votes. But where did these ballots come from? gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
A ballot cannot simply be printed and stuffed into a box: every mail-in ballot is assigned and coded to an individual voter (your vote choice is secret but not the ballot envelope nor the fact you voted). gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
It would have been easy to call the voters whose ballots were supposedly stolen and used to vote without their consent to prove these were fraudulent votes. (Yes, it’s time consuming: Our Georgia investigation required 1,200 phone calls.) gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…

#2000Mules: A more accurate name for the film would be “2000 Mailmen” or “2000 Dog Walkers”. I went to several drops-boxes in Georgia while I was covering the 2020 election, so according to D’Souza’s cellphone ping “evidence” I could be one of the mules. gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
#2000Mule is slick. Real slick. With an air of science & hard statistics. They use “geo-tracking”, buying (as anyone can) “pings” from cellphones in 5 cities. D’Souza shows a satellite in space & the damning evidence — photos of Black men casting ballots. gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
They say (but don’t show us) that these Black men, inexplicably, went to drop boxes “on average 23 times”. That’s pretty damning, if true...

But it’s not true.

In D’Souza’s new film, #2000Mules, they have damning evidence caught on camera, but they … just don’t, uh, show it?!? Why not show us at least a couple of film clips of the 27 times they claim a Black “mule" repeated the felonious crime of couriering ballots to a drop-box?
I was so angry at this criminal voter, I wanted to bust him! Expose him. Arrest him. They have his photo, his car, his license plate number. In fact, their “expert” says these ballot mules have, “bad backgrounds, bad reputations…violent guys.” Whoa! gregpalast.com/2000-mules-bel…
So, If D’Souza identifies their “backgrounds,” they must have their names. So why don’t they show us the files? Name the names? Show us their faces? Confront them. Call the cops, the feds!

Courageous #HumanRights lawyer @SDonziger is finally free today, after 6 months of confinement — punishment for winning a $9 billion judgment against Chevron. gregpalast.com/steven-donzige… #FreeDonziger #StevenDonziger #BigOil #Pollution #Environment #Amazon ImageImage
I hope it’s final, because Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, the petroleum industry's black robed Putin, is on a crusade to muzzle the man who exposed Chevron's poisoning of the Amazon.
Let’s get some heat on New York’s corporate senators Gillibrand & Schumer to block the nomination of Chevron Consigliere Jennifer Rearden to the federal bench. And let's flood the White House with the demand that @SDonziger be given the Medal of Freedom.
