Speed cameras are not a component of intelligent city planning that increases the use of public transit and walkability. Not implementing a regressive tax is not ‘leaving money on the table.’

Taxpayer dollars going towards “research” & “solution” that has been a meme for generations.

How can sending the first evacuate order at 3:35a be @nws.noaa.gov doing its job? This is look-out-of-the-window level warning at the cost of billions of dollars to taxpayers.

The people who need to read this won’t. Maybe put replica @isaaccordal.bsky.social sculptures in every state capital.

Why isn’t one person just as good as the next? Your position that migrants “serve,” [them] not replace the “local population” [us] indicates you are promoting a two-tiered society of forever foreigners.

Anyone know a field of study other than the law in which its top experts have become more divided over time? Decreasing consensus as a trend is statistical proof that precedent and logic are subordinated to personal beliefs and self-interest (politics).

‘Deference’ is another thing made up by the legal profession to take away our rights.

‘Deference’ shows up eight times in the Circuit Court’s ruling. Zero times in the U.S. Constitution. ‘Right’ is in the Constitution 16 times.

It’s weird how you missed the 250 year anniversary of the army. Founded a year before the Declaration.

The Declaration of Independence was a legal document, enforced by the U.S. military. These congressional tweets are just tweets. They are not using their Article I authority.

We will be sure to add this to the mound of strongly worded letters released by Congress since 1942.

This year I FOIA'd the DOJ Civil Rights Division for rights violations for the past three years by government, business, & individual offender. Responses will be posted here to show level of compliance with the Act.

On June 19, 1865, de facto enslaved people learned of their freedom through hand delivered notices. My new #Juneteenth tradition is to continue to educate Americans on their rights and when their government fails to deliver upon those commitments.

Senator Padilla has oversight authority for the agency that wrongfully arrested him, which speaks to the quality of that oversight.

If he wants to ‘fight for the people,’ see to it that the Fourth Amendment is enforced & his illegal seizure is punished by the courts. The rest is self-promotion.

Senator Padilla has oversight responsibility for the DOJ. He knows what an arrest is. If he wants to protect regular Americans from wrongful arrests, he should file a suit against the agencies & officers involved (and also provide meaningful oversight that tracks wrongful arrests over time).

An officer who does not know what an arrest is or when they have legal authority to seize someone should be prosecuted/fired.

EXAMPLE: LAPD Ofc. Rush had 5 cases prosecuted by the DA & 23 thrown out for insufficient evidence. Such incompetence is a danger to the public.

When the word ‘arrest’ can mean anything, the Fourth Amendment means nothing.

Whether it’s political donations, lobbying, or hundreds of dollars per hour in attorney fees for mere access to one’s rights in court, U.S. democracy has always been pay-to-play.

The fight for democracy must envision a version of democracy that improves on what has come before.
