👏🏻Wow!
Via Kyle Griffin:
More than 4 million Georgians voted early — a record level of turnout that's more than 55% of the total number of registered voters in the state.
As of Saturday morning, 92 #Georgia counties have exceeded 50% turnout.
#Georgia officials have dismissed all members of the state's Maternal Mortality Review Committee, which is charged with investigating deaths of #pregnant women, in response to ProPublica's reporting on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller.

A Tennessee mainstream news piece went out yesterday covering Patriot Front and including detailed aerial photographs of their compound in the east of the state.
While we're glad that this information is reaching a wide audience, and overall Phil Williams has done fantastic work covering the far right, we'd also like to note that our group is the one that originally exposed Ian Michael Elliott in 2021 and also first discovered and published the location and ownership of the compound in 2024.
We're not mentioning our original pieces because we're in it for the credit, but because it's better for everyone when news sources cite original antifascist grassroots research. The more exposure our pieces get, the more likely it is we get tips on white supremacist activity.

"NEW: The Fulton County, #Georgia Board of Commissioners voted to reject the nominations of two prominent election deniers to the county board of elections.
Before voting, one board member said, “It’s not possible to work with folks trying to sow discord.”
Exclusive: #Putin, for #Ukraine peace, wants a pledge to halt #NATO enlargement
Putin's conditions for ending the war in Ukraine include a demand that Western leaders pledge in writing to stop enlarging NATO eastwards [shorthand for formally ruling out membership to Ukraine, #Georgia & #Moldova & other former #Soviet republics] & lift a chunk of sanctions on #Russia, according to three Russian sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
