  1. Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

    This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

  2. This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse."

    Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.

Breaking:  DHS arrives in Penske trucks at a Home Depot in McArthur Park area of LA for early morning immigration enforcement.    The area was filled with migrants who scattered.  DHS says MS 13 has a chokehold on this area, which is one reason they’re carrying out the highly. Underneath is a screenshot of an 8 second video showing agents lifting the door of a rental truck from the inside as they get ready to jump and out and grab people.

  5. It's no longer a question of if authoritarianism comes to America; now it's just a question of how bad it gets, and how long it lasts.

    It's here. We can get rid of it if we fight together.

  6. Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

  7. For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.
