Remember “show your papers” in Arizona? The Laken Riley act is worse and it would apply nationwide. Let’s stop it in the Senate. Sylvia Salazar explains it all for you. bsky.app/profile/tono...
This bill isn’t about public safety. If passed, it would:

❌ Allow racial profiling on a massive scale
❌ Jail immigrants without bail or due process, even for minor accusations
❌ Let state officials overrule federal immigration policy, throwing our system into chaos
Important Context you need to know about the Laken Riley Act

Federal GOP effort to suppress A LOT of votes: the SAVE Act has been introduced in the House and Senate. Current name you use doesn't match your birth certificate? The 8/10 married women who change their names? Poof, can't register to vote. #StopTheSAVEAct social.demcast.com/s/YTK8VG0O

Terrific review of the ongoing attempt to steal a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court--by the GOP-controlled Court itself--from Democratic Justice Allison Riggs. bsky.app/profile/atru...
New in PN: North Carolina Republicans restart the steal

"The entire state supreme court affair is a microcosm of the last several years, a one-stop-shop highlighting all the ways in which Republicans have used the nonexistent problem of election fraud to destroy trust and make it harder to vote."
North Carolina Republicans restart the steal
If you can't beat 'em, try to get 60,000 votes tossed out.

Not only do we have to win elections, we have to win the GOP power grabs after the elections. Spread the word. bsky.app/profile/simo...
It would be ok for the President of the United States and the leader of the free world to condemn forcefully and loudly what NC Republicans are trying to do here.
A serious constitutional crisis is taking place in North Carolina where Republicans are trying to steal a state Supreme Court election by disenfranchising 60,000 voters AFTER the count and recount have showed the Democrat won.

Please watch and share.

Top MAGA GOP 2025 priority--federal law to require amended birth certificates IN YOUR MARRIED NAME or a passport to register to vote. Many women and young people will be effectively barred from voting. open.substack.com/pub/thecivic...
The “SAVE Act” Is A Voter Suppression Bill. We Oppose It.
Young people tell us all the time that they feel like no one is talking to them about important public issues that will impact them.

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

The Democratic grassroots powered election victories repeatedly in 2023, including in Virginia's legislature. Two special elections on Jan 7 in VA will determine if the legislature stays blue for the Dem Governor we will help elect in Nov 2025. Call shifts here: www.mobilize.us/kannanforvir...

This 30-sec read is the clearest summary I have seen of how MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court corruptly overreached in 2 cases to make sure Trump would not face criminal trial nor be barred from holding office for Jan 6/insurrection.

The Supreme Court is Part of the Oligarchy
The corrupt, bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court is why Trump wasn't held accountable.

Agreed. IF Biden's administration understands the dangers of retaining Elon's contracts, AND they do nothing because trump will just "undo" it, THAT is obeying in advance. Throw sand in the gears. Make trump do his own dirty work. REVOKE his clearance and his contracts.
Why is the Biden administration silent on the richest man in the world doing the bidding of Putin?

WHY IS HE STILL A FEDERAL GOVT CONTRACTOR???

The richest man in the world who is about to shutdown our government tweeting support for a German neo-nazi party in the middle of the night
I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.
