A Jelly Squishes Slowly By
Dan GillmorIt is astonishing that Big Journalism has paid so little attention to Georgia's war on dissent -- charging people with major crimes because they've protested grotesque police abuses. https://www.rightsanddissent.org/news/90-organizations-tell-ag-carr-drop-cop-city-rico-charges/

@prw @dangillmor ???? wtf?
William Hughes@dangillmor a Presidential #election with #Dolt45 running again and being absolutely terrible, threatening the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, getting his businesses cancelled throughout the state of New York, and on and on...

Compare and contrast with tiny right wing organizations whose regressive talking points show up almost verbatim as "news" articles… I'm thinking of astro turfed extremist groups like the so called morons for liberty and so on.
