Wow. What a total asshole #Giuliani is.
And a stupid one.

At what point does this amount to driving around in property stolen from Ruby Freeman, which would be totally on brand for Rudy?

Rudy Giuliani shows up to Trump’s polling station in the Mercedes convertible he was ordered to surrender to #Georgia poll workers for defaming them, acc to the driver.
Via #Georgia reporter Sam Gringlas:
Several polling places in Fulton County received threats and had to be temporarily closed.
County election officials are seeking a court order on keep those sites open a little later.
In the U.S., "Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed Tuesday a bomb threat was made against a polling place, but he said it was of Russian origin and not credible."
“They’re up to mischief it seems,” he added, about the Russians. “They don’t want us to have a smooth, fair and accurate election.”

Georgia Won’t Say Who’s Now Serving on Its Maternal Mortality Committee After Dismissing All Members Last Year
—
Before ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, the names of committee members had been publicly released. Now, Georgia says releasing the identities would be a violation of state law.

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.

What a terrible country we have here in the US. A young black dad needed to go to a job interview and couldn't afford a baby sitter for his 3 kids and didn't have time to take them home before his meeting bc he also can't afford a car.
So they walked to McDonald's next to his job interview to let them play while he went to the interview.
When he returned he was arrested and may still be in jail rn.

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.
