More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

A South Carolina law that lets anyone 65 years old and above vote by mail but requires younger people to provide an excuse to cast absentee ballots violates the Constitution’s prohibition on abridging voting rights based on age, the Fourth Circuit ruled. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
Age restrictions on mail voting are unconstitutional, Fourth Circuit says in rare 26th Amendment case
A district court will decide the remedy: no-excuse mail voting for all ages, or for no ages.

How about the opposite. Since wealthy people can get so much of what they want using money and power, poor people get a large vote weighting, and those with high net worths get low weighting.

Part one of a series reviewing how Charleston DSA’s First Amendment Restoration Campaign links back towards a general crackdown on civil liberties in America over the past five years.
What is the 1A Ordinance?

In a 2021 session with no public input, Charleston City Council implemented this draconian ‘First Amendment Ordinance,’ which made organizing safe protests nearly impossible. Approval to exercise our Constitutional right is now entirely at the discretion of City Council and Chief of Police.

Attempts from churches to host public vigils, organizers trying to hold Free Palestine rallies, and people just wanting to express their frustration with the Trump administration have all been illegally prevented by the city or brutalized by Charleston police.

This crackdown comes as part of a broader trend of anti-free speech and peaceful assembly from not only the city of Charleston, but the county, the state, and the nation.

Sign our petition and keep up to date with how you can help demand our First Amendment rights be restored!

ICE shot and killed a man in Houston with no criminal record who was not even their target. They pushed him off the road. And now he is gone forever. ICE is a domestic terrorist organization. We need to abolish ICE now and stop Trump’s murderous thugs.
