We're at the "elected local officials could be jailed for their votes" portion of the slow-roll to full-on MAGA authoritarianism in the United States. Fulton County Democrats are refusing to seat two election denier Republican nominees to its election board, with the county and state GOP now seeking legal recourse which could include fines and jail time for commissioners who keep voting to refuse seating those nominees. They're not refusing to seat Republicans, period; just these two, particular (as Fair Fight calls them) 'conspiracy theorists.'
Joining me to discuss are Fulton County district three commissioner Dana Barrett - who's seeking to unseat commission chair Rob Pitts - and Fair Fight's Max Flugrath.
Max and I further discuss Fair Fight's activism for voters being disenfranchised by mass voter purges occurring right now; purges that disproportionately affect voters of color.

In Florida, that state's transportation department cowering to Trump transportation secretary Sean Duffy's anti-gay, anti-woke screed to whitewash rainbow crosswalks and other street messaging from America's roads, took all the color out of the Pulse Nightclub crosswalk memorial.
Because the cruelty is the point. It isn't speaking to "all lives matter," for sure.
