The validity of laws like this have been debated for decades. Now, we’re going to finally see whether they withstand federal court challenges.

In the US, DHS and ICE are trying to crush brown and black people and drive them out of the country. They say it openly. They boast. They revel in it. “Self deport”. “Re-migrate”. “Leave”. The U.S.’ “closest” “allies” are trying to do the same thing to the indigenous people in their region

Allan Classen, the editor of the NW Examiner, has chosen to exclude us and @jameyevenstar.bsky.social from their Candidate Debate by saying we haven’t raised enough money. Our campaign has raised over $130k and we’ve remained steadily ahead of Eric Zimmerman in contributions. This is a bad look.

In the USA our most liberal, educated, and enlightened socioeconomic elite has perpetrated many a mass killing, over hundreds of years In observing, criticizing, and funding other mass killings conducted by faraway societies, we have the opportunity to address patterns in our own society

I’ve seen NAZA. It is not about Gaza or even about IDF rules of engagement. It is 100% a film about Israeli society. It is about how the most liberal, educated and enlightened socioeconomic elites among us could carry out such mass killing, some even while being well aware of it.

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT

Instead of spending nearly $270 BILLION on mass deportations ($2,358 PER taxpayer), we could fund: Medicaid for 12 million people. Healthcare for 5 million veterans. Free early education for 6.7 million children. Money for cruelty vs. money for community.

worth noting that Drazan got *significantly* more applause the entire event versus Kotek. Drazan says fuck all and biz losers love it. remember that, they want to keep the status quo so they can continue making profits off of our backs.

In my anecdotal experience, the Kotek Drazan polls have been very effective at mobilizing Dem voter anxiety - a big win for Kotek Well done with those models folks (Any poll result can be turned into any headline based on the model the pollster uses to scale up the results) Kotek by 8? 10?
