It’s a big mistake for the Supreme Court to be politicised. Its members should not be appointed by politicians. The branches of government should be independent, to ensure separation of powers - political, judicial, civil service & military. Also money should be kept out of politics, not control it.

No, you need a loyal military if you intend to hold onto power by force…

Vote in enough Dems to wrest control of both houses then use the power of government’s checks & balances as intended.Start with impeachment & restore funding to agencies that have been gutted so that they can function again.Oligarchs must be disempowered, tax the right people,fund health & education

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Tie the rules in with meaningful consequences which are implemented, otherwise it gives Carte Blanche for MPs to continue to do whatever they want. The alternative is to throw away the rules - anything else is a waste of all our time..

Definitely, and the analysis below perfectly sums up the Trump playbook which is where Farage is sponsored to have us all headed

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

I would say that with the pervasiveness of a.i. , monitoring anything written down in text is going to be even easier. Basically nothing digitised is going to be private, for privacy we would need to go back to older communication methods. In the uk old style landlines are being phased out…

What about when you need to use it, wouldn’t they then just pick you up? Does switching off work?

They are intent on sending the US into the dark ages. Trump is doing your nation a disservice, creating a massive brain drain & sickly populace whilst eastern competitors sprint ahead with innovation and high tech green economies geared up for the challenges of the future. Farewell American empire.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

They know the only thing that can save them is triggering violence from protesters so they can claim insurrection & effectively prevent fair elections which would undoubtedly remove them from power. Don’t give them the optics of violence but show up in large numbers…& frog suits if that’s your thing

You are not the terrorist, this unamerican regime is - it’s the same projection tactic they’ve always used: accuse others of what they are doing before being called out on it themselves.. Keep up the resistance!
