Broadcasters of sporting events should not wear suits and ties. Go ahead and try to change my mind.
@colorado.gov don’t you need to change your profile description to include “Advocating for convicted felons who deny reality” pathetic.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."
California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

The important subtext of this is that they don't have enough manpower to carry out their fascist agenda. If/when they hold recruitment events in your area, you should be prepared to show up and get loud. Folks have already done this in California and elsewhere.
