As a Christ-follower, I don't mind being on the wrong side of history. It's being on the wrong side of eternity that would terrify me. Opinions my own.

The CA Legislature tried to strike these words from the state constitution in 2020 (put there by Prop 209 in 1996). The voters smacked them down when 57.23% said NO—despite the YES campaign outspending the NO team by more than 14 to 1. Now they’re trying again—calling it a “clarification” instead of an effort to gut the provision’s application to public education. Don’t believe them. If approved by the voters, this would be a major change. The aim is to pave the way for the recommendations of California’s Task Force on Reparations. The Task Force wants to make college free to African Americans no matter how well off their parents are and to get school districts to fund individual schools based on the race of the students who attend.

Notice the (D)ifference

[Ian Speir @IanSpeir]

Colorado is now requiring lawyers in the State, as a condition of logging into its court e-filing system, to promise not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law.

Please understand:
- I do not practice immigration law.
- I do not practice criminal law.
- Nothing about my civil practice has anything to do with this.

And yet because I cannot log into the State's official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc.

If I click "Decline," it kicks me out of the system. I must click "Accept" to access the system and continue representing my civil clients -- again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy.

I've read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous draconian overreach.

I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently. My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don't click "Accept" in order to access the State's e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice.

I'm clicking "Accept" under protest.

Mothers and children rounded up in their homes and sent back to their violence-ridden countries. Cage-like structures built to house migrant families. 56 migrant deaths in ICE custody. 75% of immigrants detained without a judicial warrant. 87% of detainees with legitimate asylum claims.“Record-setting numbers,” ICE director brags. Another ICE agent, Tom Homan, is awarded by the President for his overseeing of deportations.

All of this occurred under Barack Obama, the president who still holds the record for deportations.

And yet, there were no riots, no one called Obama Hitler or compared ICE to Nazis, and there were no widespread social media campaigns calling for an end to immigration enforcement.

Consider that the chaos you’re seeing is manufactured by bad actors for the purpose of weaponizing your compassion for nefarious ends.

It’s time to opt out of the madness and start thinking.

When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:

A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.

This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.

The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.

A good visual of the Obamacare subsidies.

[Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel]

2013 to 2020 shows in yellow what participants had to pay for healthcare under Obamacare.  In 2021 because of covid the government said the taxpayers pick up the light blue amount. The recipient pays the small yellow amount.   It was a five-year plan.  The democrats want that plan to be extended so there would be another light blue line in 2026.  This is why there was a shutdown.

[Bruce Hausknecht @BruceHaus]

@KKTV11News Bad grammar. You should say “whether U.S. citizens and noncitizens deserve the same scope of due process.” And the answer is obviously that they don’t.

[Bruce Hausknecht @BruceHaus]

@ThomasSowell What a frank admission.

Where's the media outrage????

Sounds like a First Amendment violation

[Alliance Defending Freedom @ADFLegal]

Remember this? Last year, British police arrested Isabel Vaughan-Spruce near an abortion facility, telling her that silent prayer “is the offense.”

Today, Isabel has received a payout of £13,000 from West Midlands Police in acknowledgment of her unjust treatment, and the breach of her human rights.

Congratulations to our team at @ADF_UK who advocated for Isabel—and for basic human freedom. Silent prayer should NEVER be a thoughtcrime in the UK or anywhere else.

[Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC]

Except on abortion (a huge exception, of course), Roe did not prevent states from acting on biological reality that life of a human being begins at conception. E.g., Alabama and other states were able to allow wrongful-death actions from conception.

Dobbs is irrelevant to Alabama supreme court's ruling. No reason to think that ruling would have been any different if Dobbs hadn't overruled Roe.

Isn't this what you call a tax on unsuspecting people?

The state said residents who opt-in will get a 60% savings on an annual park and car, bike, and foot entry to all state parks. The pass is added to vehicle registrations at $29. https://t.co/JpaB0jiJvH
