Raids in Syria again.
American-made bombs still falling in Yemen, despite a Biden promise.

Former NFL coach Brian Flores took a personal risk by filing a discrimination lawsuit against the league, says @kavithadavidson, but it may pay off down the line in a systemic way.

Republicans continue to chip away at voting rights across the country, and in Michigan, they’re using a frustrating little loophole in hopes of sidestepping a Dem governor’s veto.
“You want to talk about a nuclear option?” @mehdirhasan says. “Here it is, thanks to the GOP.”

Unless the U.S. unfreezes $9.5B in assets back to the Afghan people, @MasudaSultan warns @mehdirhasan there could be:
1M dead children,
The migration of refugees to Europe,
An increase in ISIS activity,
And a U.S. legacy of creating one of the worst famines in history.

When it comes to apartheid, most people think South Africa’s history of racial segregation.

How concerned are lawmakers & law enforcement about violence by Trump supporters if their leader is charged?
It “has been a pressing issue that’s front of mind at the very highest levels at the FBI & the Dept. of Homeland Security over the last year,” says @woodruffbets.

The threads of Trump’s attempted election subversion are slowly being woven together.
But if much more time passes without consequences for all of Trump’s past attempts, @mehdirhasan warns, they merely become (all together now) 🗣 training exercises for the next one. 🗣

When Trump claims the VP could overturn an election, it seems like he’s forgetting the current Vice President is Democrat Kamala Harris.
@ruthbenghiat says to understand the logic of the Trump cult, it helps to “think like an authoritarian.”
