Justice Department lawyers said Worrell and other so-called “tools” of the conspiracy acted as a force multiplier, pushing the Proud Boys’ numbers to at least 200 that day.

In Georgia, a years-long fight by Black voters for equal representation on the state's utility commission has led to canceled elections and put a harsh spotlight on an often overlooked corner of government.

Canceled Elections Leave Georgia’s Utility Commission in Anti-Democratic Limbo - Bolts

Several Russian women athletes are apparently registered under false surnames and birthdates to play for Team Syria in next month’s Pan Arab Games. Let’s all hear it for Karina Polud(kina) & the Malko(va) sisters!

Голый спорт

Российские спортсмены указаны как члены команды Сирии на стартовавших в Алжире Панарабских Играх. У большинства изменены имена, у двоих — даты рождения Бадминтон: Дарья Джеджула (указана как Dasha Dhedhula) — дата рождения изменена с 19.11.1995 на 19.11.1999, на сайте международной федерации считается российской спортсменкой, числится в резерве основного состава сборной РФ Велоспорт: Татьяна Малькова (указана как Tatia Malko) — ехала ПР в конце июня и Дарья Малькова (указана как Darie Malko), дата рождения изменена с 16.11.2000 на 05.07.2001, ехала ЧР в июне. Информации о смене лицензий UCI этих гонщиц нет, обе указаны в списках кандидатов в сборные РФ Легкая атлетика: Карина Полудкина (указана как Karina Polud) — для международной федерации она российский спортсмен, буквально только что, в копье, стала третьей на юниорском ПР Плавание: Анастасия Сорокина (указана как Enas Sorkine) — международная федерация ничего не знает о новом гражданстве, спортсменка числится в списках кандидатов в сборные РФ И два примера «чистого» перехода: Дзюдо: Милана Мугу (указана как Milana Mrad) — национальная привязка у международной федерации сирийская Спортивная гимнастика: Александра Максимова (указана как Aleksandra Maksimova) — лицензия FIG изменена на сирийскую Так как немыслимо представить, что кто-то заранее договорился с международными федерациями бадминтона, водных видов, велоспорта и легкой атлетики (особенно с последними), что российские спортсмены могут без офиц. смены национальности выступать за Сирию, да еще и с измененными датами рождения (Джеджула и Малькова) — нас ждет адовый скандал. Панарабские Игры организует Союз НОК арабских стран, это не тот турнир, где можно игнорировать правила смены гражданства, указанные международными федерациями. На этом фоне Максимова и Мугу — молодцы, все официально, межд. федерацияи гимнастики и дзюдо в курсе. По остальным — общероссийским федерациям данных видов спорта пора, наверное, начинать готовить какую-то версию происходящего.

Folks. This might be #NorthCarolina's next governor. No joke.

Heartland Signal:

At Moms for Liberty's Philadelphia event, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) says dictators like Hitler, Stalin and Mao are being taken out of context and promotes reading their writings.

"...It is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes."

Voting rights groups launched a fight against Georgia's election rules, which have kept Black candidates off a powerful commission.

But Georgia fought back — leading elections to be outright canceled, & incumbents to stay in office past their terms! https://boltsmag.org/georgia-utility-commission-canceled-elections/
