A federal judge struck down a South Dakota law that would have made it harder for citizens to put issues on the ballot.

The law was passed after voters used the ballot measure process to pass popular policies opposed by the GOP, like Medicaid expansion.

The Star Wars available to the public to stream is not the same film that was shown in 1977. But in the U.K., audiences had a rare chance to see it.
This is not the 'Star Wars' you thought you knew

ICE is using green gas in PDX in a residential neighborhood next to a school. They shot a protestor in the eye w/ a less-lethal, they are bringing fear, tyranny to this community. Why does Portland let them do business here (and they are just that: a private biz taking our tax $$ to terrorize us)?

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.”

On this important day of mobilization, don't be scared off by self-appointed experts giving you a bunch of rules for how to protest or what not to do. The most important thing we need is more people in the streets, period. Our safety comes from numbers. As a criminal defense lawyer for decades...

State-sponsored kidnapping

The Trump admin took people by force, based on flimsy accusations & sent them not to their home country but to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador—in defiance of a court order.

Holding people against their will through deception and threat is by definition—kidnapping.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies
The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.
