'RSS taking over all institutions, running everything', Rahul Gandhi's big attack. A clear depiction of the dangerous trend within our political landscape; a wake-up call. We need to keep our eyes open and question what's happening around us. Remember, unchallenged power is a breeding ground for corruption. Let's remember our history and ensure we don't repeat it. Stay vigilant, my fellow citizens, for the sake of our democracy. indiatoday.in/india/story/rahu

I wish American media would devote a whole Saturday morning’s coverage to the GOP’s attempt to subvert democracy and silence Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ voices and history instead of a old white man’s coronation. I guess that’s too much to ask.

"The Republican-led Tennessee House voted Thursday to expel two Democratic lawmakers who halted proceedings last week to join protesters demanding gun-control legislation after a mass killing.

In a historic act of partisan retaliation, the chamber voted 72-25 to oust Rep. Justin Jones (D), a 27-year-old community organizer elected in November to represent part of Nashville, and 69-26 to expel Rep. Justin Pearson (D) of Memphis."

"by 2020, 82% of Wisconsin voters had passed referenda calling for fair district maps.

But when it came time to redistrict after the 2020 census, the Republican-dominated legislature carved up the state into an even more pro-Republican map...

With gerrymandered districts virtually guaranteeing their reelection, Republicans are insulated from popular opinion."

"Ralston, a powerful Republican who spent more than a decade as House speaker before his death in November, had previously acknowledged phone calls from Trump and Rudy Giuliani...

That previously unknown audio is one of at least three recorded phone calls Trump made to Georgia officials as he sought to overturn the state’s election results."

"Ralston resisted Trump’s requests to convene a special session of the legislature to overturn Biden’s narrow election win.

The speaker [Ralston] “basically cut the president off. He said, ‘I will do everything in my power that I think is appropriate.’ … He just basically took the wind out of the sails,”

"Let no one be confused: DeSantis is not a break with the MAGA anti-democratic movement. He is only a less buffoonish version of the defeated former president.

And that makes him all the more dangerous."

"Two years since the attack on the U.S. Capitol, a series of drive-by shootings targeting Democrats in New Mexico is a violent reminder that the false claims about a stolen election persist in posing a danger to public officials and the country’s democratic institutions."

"O’Malley told The Washington Post that Peña visited her home on Nov. 10, days after he lost the election.

“He was agitated and aggressive and upset that he did not win”

...“Someone has threatened my home and feels that it’s okay to shoot at my home... because they didn’t get their way,” she said. “I absolutely blame election denialism and Trump.”
