The brutality of state force is in the streets, it’s on video, and it’s being defended at the highest levels of government. If we do not act now with united, powerful resistance, the normalization of militarized state power will become irreversible.

In both cases, outside groups represented by the Democratic-aligned Elias Law Group have sought to intervene over concerns that the Justice Department would reach friendly settlements with the challengers. apnews.com/article/cens...
Lawsuits by Trump allies could shape how the 2030 census is done and who will be counted
The next U.S. census is four years away, but two lawsuits playing out this year could affect how the head count will be done and who'll be counted.

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.
