At the NRA Convention someone told us that hammers are used to kill more people than guns. So we looked up the stats in front of them. pic.twitter.com/ju5R8Pqbvk

Fetus incinerators
NEW: A Republican witness at a Congressional hearing just falsely said Washington, DC is powered by aborted fetuses: “In Washington DC, fetuses are burned to power the lights of homes and streets. The next time you turn on the light, think of the [fetus] incinerators.”

White replacement
And that poll found that “nearly half of Republicans agree to at least some extent with the idea that there’s a deliberate intent to “replace” native-born Americans with immigrants.”https://t.co/YmzZmoMoYl

Bravery (update)
Absolutely astonishing. During Russian Channel 1’s evening news broadcast, a woman ran onto the set with a sign: “No war…Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.” pic.twitter.com/wBdFGtzTsg

Marina recorded this video before interrupting Channel One's live broadcast. I translated it for you (thread):

“All responsibility for this aggression lies on the conscience of one person: Vladimir Putin. My father is Ukrainian, my mother is Russian. They were never enemies.” /2
“This necklace around my neck signifies that Russia should immediately stop this fratricidal war and our brotherly nations can make peace with each other.” /3
“Unfortunately, for the last several years I worked at Channel One, promoting Kremlin propaganda and for that I am very ashamed right now.” /4
“I am ashamed that I allowed lies to be told from TV screens, that I allowed Russian people to be zombified. We stayed quiet when all of this was just getting started in 2014.” /5
“We didn’t come out to protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny. We continued to quietly watch this inhumane regime.” /6
“Now the whole world turned away from us. Ten generations of our descendants won’t be able to wash away the shame of this fratricidal war.” /7
The woman who protested on Kremlin TV has been arrested and her lawyers can't find her. https://t.co/tge5bFOQ26

Fixing the numbers
The latest WaP/ABC poll could almost have been a Republican “push poll,” with the pollster’s goal to encourage voting for toxic extremism in the name of restoring balance. https://t.co/6tK14TQRie
