Political principal:

If any government decides that a certain class of person has no rights then they have decided that EVERY class of person has no rights - for all they have to do is decide that you are that class of person, not give you any opportunity to demonstrate otherwise, and deal with you according to their power.

And that's how you end up in jail (or worse) for nothing.

The lesson of this is that legal rights for all protect everyone.

Let’s send a clear message: Workers built Amazon. Workers run Amazon. Workers deserve to be safe at Amazon. Tell #Amazon to recognize the Safety Bill of #Rights now. click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgSign On to Support the Worker-Led Fight for a Safety Bill of Rights at Amazon Amazon is knowingly endangering the lives of its workers every day. At JFK8 and beyond, Amazon workers are rising up and fighting back—building majority-led organizing committees, launching walkouts and strikes, and preparing for the next phase of direct action. At the center of this fight is the Safety Bill of Rights, developed by workers with Amazon Labor Union-IBT Local 1. These are not suggestions. These are non-negotiable demands born out of daily pain, injury, retaliation, and abuse on the shop floor. We are calling on labor, community, and political allies to sign on in full support—not just with words, but with action. This petition is your entry point into a growing movement that will not stop until Amazon is forced to the bargaining table and workers win the safety, dignity, and power they are owed.

Please sign to tell #Congress, federal courts, and the U.S. Marshals Service: Defend our due process #rights from #Trump’s attacks, and do your duty to prevent the president’s,,, click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgSign to tell Congress, federal courts, and the U.S. Marshals Service: Take urgent action now to defend our due process rights and stop Trump’s fascist repression! Still illegally detaining Mahmoud Khalil, the Trump administration has continued to detain and deport more immigrants, including students and workers here with green cards and valid visas. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he’s monitoring student visa holders’ social media posts and aiming to deport people who criticize the U.S. government. Many of these actions violate federal judges’ orders, and all of them violate our constitutional rights to free speech and due process, which apply to everyone in the United States regardless of immigration status. By defying federal courts and even threatening to impeach federal judges who’ve blocked his unconstitutional actions, Trump and his administration have brought us to an unprecedented constitutional crisis. As laid out in the Constitution, the federal judiciary branch of government is obligated to provide a check on unconstitutional actions from the legislative branch (Congress) and the executive branch (the president). But leaders in Trump’s administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have vowed to continue defying court orders—such as the order blocking deportations to notoriously dangerous prisons in El Salvador. Bondi has even claimed that judges don’t have the right to block Trump’s actions, which is an outrageous lie. Trump and his administration are not only violating human and constitutional rights, they’re also undermining one of the most fundamental principles of our democracy: the system of checks and balances between branches of government. This is a threat to all of us. The U.S. Marshals Service specifically has the power to enforce federal court orders, but it’s overseen by Trump’s Department of Justice as well as federal courts. Despite their connection to the Trump administration, we need U.S. Marshals—as well as the judiciary and legislative branches of government—to act immediately as checks to Trump’s power. Sign to demand the U.S. Marshals Service, Congress, and federal courts act as necessary checks to Trump’s fascist repression. These institutions must urgently defend our constitutional rights, including the right to due process.

She Got an #Abortion. So A #Texas Cop Used 83,000 #Cameras to #Track Her Down.

The officer searched 6,809 different camera networks maintained by #surveillance tech company #Flock Safety, including states where abortion access is protected by law, such as #Washington and #Illinois. The search record listed the reason plainly: “had an abortion, search for female.”

Electronic Frontier Foundation · She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down.We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Lawmakers who support reproductive rights must recognize that abortion access and mass surveillance are incompatible. The systems built to track stolen cars and issue parking tickets have become tools to enforce the most personal and politically charged laws in the country.

youtube.com/shorts/oehoQ-D_mEc

The Palmer Raids: A dark chapter of American history that serves as a warning. In 1919-1920, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer launched sweeping arrests of leftists, immigrants, and activists, using fear of communism to justify mass detentions, deportations, and the suppression of dissent…

"Texas cops tried to find an abortion patient by using data from an automatic license plate reader (ALPR), which gave them access to over 83,000 cameras across the country.

The dystopian future feminists have been warning about is already here."
-J Valenti

Women are 2nd class citizens in America. Their rights have been annihilated, esp in red states.

404 Media · A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an AbortionThe sheriff said the woman self-administered the abortion and her family were concerned for her safety, so authorities searched through Flock cameras. Experts are still concerned that a cop in a state where abortion is illegal can search cameras in others where it's a human right.
