Twice-impeached former president Trump has officially been booked into Georgia’s Fulton County Jail, under Booking Number 2313827. He used a bail bondsman to cover the cost of his $200,000 bond.

We’re desensitized at this point, but this is a huge moment in US history — don’t lose sight of its significance.

#Trump is in the jail, per Scott MacFarlane (going thru the booking process).

In jail.

He has been arrested and is…

In jail.

How I wish, so fervently wish, that we could say those words every day for the rest of his vile life.

It's not someone else's problem.

Climate refugees. Hawaii.

They don't count.

No one cares for those people.

SIgh, NPR this morning said Trump's lifelong corruption and attempt to overthrow a national election isn't "quite" equivalent to Hunter Biden's sleaze.

I suppose this is progress -- given that NPR has been the champion of false equivalence, "both sides" bullshit in American broadcasting.

At this rate, NPR will arrive at telling basic truths in 2050 or so.

Exactly 60 yrs ago, on June 12, 1963, NAACP Mississippi field secretary, Medgar Evers, returned home. Carrying "Jim Crow Must Go" t-shirts, he was shot in the back. His wife found him bleeding at the door. He died later. At his funeral, brutal police tactics failed to suppress anger among 1000s of mourners. Later, Medgar received the 1963 Spingarn medal for his contributions and sacrifice.
