Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

So, here in Washington state transphobic billionaires are trying to pass IL26-001 and Il26-638. The No Hate in WA State campaign just sent me an email saying in a poll most voters were undecided on the votes...32% voting yes for the former, 43% said to vote yes for the latter. This is extremely bad.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
