Did 82% of Portland vote for a Community Board for Police Malfeasance? Police Control? Police Exoneration? (these are crossed out) NO!  Put the Accountability Back into the Community Board for Police Accountability.   On 11/15/23 the Portland City Council rejected the Police Accountability Commission’s proposal and instead approved the amended proposal, which undermines transparency, accountability, and citizen control (the very things voters demanded.) The next step is for backers of the original proposal to persuade the Department of Justice to REJECT the City’s biased proposal. SIGN UP to testify at the Fairness Hearing November 30, 2023, 9 am Federal Courthouse, 1000 SW Third Ave, courtroom 15B, PDX The deadline for sending comments or to sign up to speak at the fairness hearing is noon on Wednesday, November 29, 2023. Any person may present written or oral testimony on whether the proposed amended settlement agreement is fair, reasonable, and adequate. To sign up to provide oral testimony, email mary_ austad@ord.uscourts.gov. To submit written testimony, deliver to the clerk's office on the 7th floor of the federal courthouse, or mail to Judge Michael Simon, Fairness Hearing Comments, United States District Court, 1000 SW Third Avenue, 15th Floor, Portland OR 97204, or send an email to mary_austad@ord.uscourts.gov.

Emotionally I'm 100% with you, knowing what the stakes are and being focused on doing everything possible to not end up in a concentration camp after 1/2025, my (desired) actions are to calmly explain the stakes, to a 4th grader (give or take...).

There are in fact 2 choices on Election Day, 2024, #ProtectOurFreedoms / #DefendDemocracy vs. Fascism

There's no 3rd choice.

If you pick 3rd party or don't vote, you are choosing fascism.

No yelling, no anger, just the facts of the stakes.

So, by writing that “(Volodymyr) Zelenskyy’s canny use of social media, traditional media and Western cultural institutions have brought the war (of #Russian aggression) to the West in a visceral way”, is @politico a tool of #Russian propaganda now? 🤔

Please stop shouting and perhaps read a bit of what constitutional scholars have to say about the 1st Amendment and the equities at stake.

Neither outrage nor urges to undermine the constitutional protections we all depend on serve to help #DefendDemocracy.

Yup. We're going to have to have a lot of patient conversations to help people understand, there are only two choices, #ProtectOurFreedoms / #DefendDemocracy or fascism.

Either vote for the first or you are facilitating the second.

That is the choice, there is no other.

@wendinoakland We may remember, that Trump is a defendant in four lawsuits so far, charged with 91 counts so far.
He is the incorporation of what the Founders understood by unacceptable extreme misdemeanor, unworthy to hold any government or other public office & disqualifyingly refusing to take care, that the laws be faithfully executed.

As opposed to majority rule as in 1861, when their arch-enemy Lincoln was elected.

What are the virtues & ethics the guy, who begs to get my vote to make him represent me, my family & friends in United States Congress really has?

Will s/he serve me & most Americans or will s/he just be another lobbyist for an over-wealthy, self-centered splinter group unrepresentative of the nation's community?

@marcelias Right! Democracy's about everyone's voice, vote & life.
It's everyone's business & responsibility to preserve it.

"For in a democracy, every citizen, regardless of his interest in politics, 'hold office'; everyone of us is in a position of responsibility; and, in the final analysis, the kind of government we get depends upon how we fulfill those responsibilities. We, the people, are the boss, and we will get the kind of political leadership, be it good or bad, that we demand and deserve."

@DemocracyMattersALot The "Republican" proposal to slash IRS funding alone constitutes a corrupt act & underlying bribery by the "GOP's" richest donors, to the disadvantage of low- & medium-income Americans.
Connecting that proposal with the alternative to stop aid to Israel is an act of illoyalty & corruption in favor of America's richest tax evaders, which can hardly be outperformed.

@realTuckFrumper Mike Johnson no longer has his Confederacy (has been defeated), but is still on his own crusade against the Fourteenth (Reconstruction) Amendment, which Louisiana & the other ex-Confederate states had to ratify to regain representation in Congress.
SCOTUS's 1965 decision in Griswold v. Connecticut (use of contraceptives) was based on the Fourteenth Amendment.

P.S.: Leonard Leo's protégé Johnson is either intellectually unable or unwilling to tell contraception from abortion.

@marcelias As for Louisiana's resistance against Reconstruction & incarceration, it's worth to revisit SCOTUS's remarkable reasoning in Allgeyer v. Louisiana (1897), especially elaborating on the noun "liberty" contained in the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause:

"The 'liberty' mentioned in [the Fourteenth] amendment means not only the right of the citizen to be free from the mere physical restraint of his person, as by incarceration, but the term is deemed to embrace the right of the citizen to be free in the enjoyment of all his faculties, to be free to use them in all lawful ways, to live and work where he will, to earn his livelihood by any lawful calling, to pursue any livelihood or avocation, and for that purpose to enter into all contracts which may be proper, necessary, and essential to his carrying out to a successful conclusion the purposes above mentioned."

@marcelias (Ex-) Confederate state passed new, highly gerrymandered congressional & legislative maps as well as a county board of commissioners map.

Reminder: The states of the defeated Confederacy needed to ratify the Fourteenth & 13th & 15th (Reconstruction) Amendments to regain U.S. congressional representation.

The other way round, their continued subversion of their own mandatory ratification of the Reconstruction Amendments should strip them of congressional representation again.

The Fourteenth Amendment's Section 2 might offer a friendly path to remind them of their duties & obligations to strictly abide by the stipulations of the Fifteenth Amendment.

@AmandaMarcotte The question arising from their despotic actions is:

How many people does it take & what would they have to do to be held accountable for insurrection against the authority of the United States being the supreme power deciding what's good for people & country & what's not?
Insurrectionary local MAGA extremist clubs definitely don't supersede constitutional provisions & the authority of U.S. government responsible for enforcement of the Constitution's directives.

@marcelias The Confederate "GOP's" infamous & insurrectionary attacks against the Reconstruction Amendments, voting rights & the Rule of Law have been looked at with blind eyes for far too long, out of self-deceiving respect for an illusion of a "Lincoln-party" that is no longer Lincoln's, but that of his former adversaries.

"... last week’s battle over Alabama’s congressional maps makes Republicans’ purported efforts to protect the high court’s legitimacy ring even more hollow. GOP state lawmakers in Montgomery effectively defied a month-old Supreme Court ruling on Friday by refusing to draw a second majority-Black congressional district—a rare instance of American elected officials openly refusing to abide by a federal court order."
