This is the key point about everything Trump is going to say: "as is often the case with..Trump, his accusations..reflect his own pattern of conduct..threatening or seeking to employ the expansive powers of the presidency to go after his enemies" https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/29/us/politics/trump-justice-system-weaponized.html

There's an ongoing threat to voting rights in America and although it's easy to let it off the front burner when we're not in an election cycle, it's critically important. It's among the topics I always try to keep us up to date on in my substack newsletter Civil Discourse. Sign up for free. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/but-those-visitor-logs
But those visitor logs...
Before we get to visitor logs, two things: For those of you looking for a little distraction this week, I stumbled upon this thought-provoking but lighthearted piece from New York Times reporter Dennis Overbye, who explores the theory that our universe may be a big simulation. I couldn’t put it down. The implications are fun, if slightly scary. It was just what I needed to read this week.
Hi Mastodon friends. Still trying to get the hang of this, but wanted to share Civil Discourse (my newsletter on Substack) from tonight, which is timely for our migration from Twitter & for the midterms. https://joycevance.substack.com/p/too-sensitive?sd=pf
Too Sensitive?
Today, Twitter, for a while, marked one of my tweets as “sensitive” and some people couldn’t see it. I wanted to make sure you all saw it, so I’m sharing it here, on Civil Discourse. It’s actually not my tweet I want you to see, but rather the thread from Mark Jacob.
Lots of folks moving over as part of the #TwitterMigration & I'm still trying to figure out how to use Mastodon. If I know you from Twitter or real life, will you reply below to help me & others find you & follow? Especially #TwitterLegalAnalysts. I'm trying to find y'all!
Forbestonow@JoyceVance glad you are here Joyce. If Mush totally tanks Twitter, it will be good to have sane voices still available. I know there are substacks etc, but I can't afford them all.
And, because I'm still new to Mastodon I keep forgetting to use hashtags so #OathKeepers #seditiousconspiracy #jan6th #elmerstewartrhodes #jury
Oath Keeper leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes returns to the witness stand Monday in the seditious conspiracy prosecution. I discuss the issues, the evidence & the law: https://joycevance.substack.com/p/can-the-government-convict-the-oath
