and most recently we saw what happened in brazil. and so for whatever reason we need our mlk of today, which is really sad because these are fights that so many of those civil rights warriors talk about, we thought we d won certain fights. but instead seemingly we have turned back the hands of time and we are starting all over. congresswoman, i said this on the show before. when georgia passed its voter suppression law, they called it an election integrity law. but as we know, as is well storied now, there was no fraud in georgia. that s why brad raffensperger on the other end of the you know, other perfect call with trump, refused to find 11,780 votes. all the same, they were pressured by the political tides of trumpism to pass a voter suppression law there. now, gabe sterling and others are really quick to point out their great turnout numbers. and that is a good thing. but the fact that republicans moved the goalposts predicated
