Sen. Chuck #Schumer, Sen. Kirsten #Gillibrand, & Rep. Nick #LaLota: Invoke the #25th #Amendment to the #Constitution NOW to get #Trump out of office! He has lost normal brain function & is unfit for office! Otherwise, the mess he has created in this country & in the world will be on your hands.

So from the time that the elections are certified until the 12th #amendment would occur and a #contingent election would hand the election to the #Republicans, the #MissKitty party offers a #public #memorandum of #understanding, that of course they understood before the election.

#MissKittyPolitics #SCOTUS ruling opinion in #GrantsPass v. Johnson is mind boggling. #Martin v. Boise protected against no shelter available. GP decision says that as long as #cruel and #unusual applies to everybody, then it is ok to ignore the #8th #amendment. Wow ffucking WOW!!! Help me.

[en] Is #AI "#supercharged #surveillance" #legal? (#USA)
"... answer is not straightforward."
"... huge amount of information that the #government can #collect on Americans that is not itself regulated ... by the #Constitution .. #Fourth #Amendment ..."
"... the government can purchase commercial data ... which can include #sensitive personal information like #mobile #location and web #browsing records."
"What AI can do is it can take a lot of information, none of which is by itself sensitive, and therefore none of which by itself is #regulated, and it can give the government a lot of powers ...".
"AI can aggregate ... information to spot patterns, draw inferences ... at massive scale ... law has not caught up with #technological reality".

Open Letter: Tech Companies Must Resist Unlawful Subpoenas for User Data
Your promises to protect the privacy of users are being tested right now. As part of the federal government’s unprecedented campaign to target critics of its conduct and policies, agencies like DHS have repeatedly demanded access to the identities and information of people on your services.
Based on our own contact with targeted users, we are deeply concerned your companies are failing to challenge unlawful surveillance and defend user privacy and speechThe Trump Administration is aggressively targeting social media users engaged in First
Amendment activity.1 We have seen multiple examples of this first-hand.Americans need to take their country back from the Fascist regime.

First Amendment
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prevents Congress from making laws respecting an establishment of religion; prohibiting the free exercise of religion; or abridging the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the freedom of assembly, or the right to petition the government for redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. In the original draft of the Bill of Rights, what is now the First Amendment occupied third place. The first two articles were not ratified by the states, so the article on disestablishment and free speech ended up being first.[1][2]

#Ghislaine #Maxwell,
the longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a federal sex-trafficking sentence,
👉invoked her #Fifth #Amendment right in response
to every question asked during a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday,
according to the committee’s chairman, Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky.Separately, several members of Congress were set to view #unredacted versions of the Justice Department’s files on Mr. Epstein.
Representative Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican who helped write the law requiring their release, will be among them

where are all the '#Second #Amendment' people ? 😀
those who 'we must have weapons to protect ourselves from a #fascist #regime'
Well... now that there is a #dictatorial fascist regime... where are they ? 😄If the believer in the 'Second Amendment' do NOT protect the #Nation the #Constitution the People from the Fascist regime...
NO more justification to keep the 'Second Amendment' in the future. -

Over and over, DHS goons descend on areas where immigrants congregate,
grab every non-white person they encounter,
and drag them away with little regard for their citizenship status.Then they send out indignant liars like DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin to spew nonsense about how this is all perfectly legal.
“Our officials use reasonable suspicion,” McLaughlin claimed on Fox News,
explaining the standard federal law enforcement officers use to detain people.“That's protected under the US Constitution 4th Amendment."
❌ But none of that is true.
Unreasonable, improbable, illegal
The Department of Homeland Security ⚠️deliberately confuses "reasonable suspicion" and "probable cause"
in hopes that no one will notice that
💥ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure.The #Fourth #Amendment guarantees that
the government cannot arrest a person without "probable cause to believe he or she committed a crime".It requires a #warrant “supported by Oath or affirmation,
and particularly describing the place to be searched,
and the persons or things to be seized.”Law enforcement officers are, however,
allowed to arrest someone without a warrant -- if they witness a crime taking place or in exigent circumstances where the suspect might flee.In the 1968 case
"Terry v. Ohio",
the Supreme Court granted police the power to
“stop and frisk” people on the street
based on "reasonable suspicion"
— a lower standard than "probable cause".In #Terry, a police officer in Cleveland observed three men appearing to case a store with the intent to rob it.
He approached the men,
patted them down,
found guns in their coats,
and arrested them for carrying illegally concealed weapons.One defendant,
John Terry,
challenged the arrest claiming that being patted down violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures.In an 8-1 ruling,
the Court held that being stopped and frisked by an officer who has reasonable suspicion of a crime is a “minor inconvenience and petty indignity.”Justice #William O. #Douglas,
the lone dissenter,
warned that
“to give the police greater power than a magistrate
is to take a long step down the totalitarian path.”And he was right.
#Terry #stops,
as they came to be known,
were weaponized against Black and brown people,
who are routinely accosted on the street by racist police.But as bad as
"US v. Terry" is,
👍🔸it didn’t change the requirement that law enforcement officers must have "probable cause" to believe that a specific crime has been committed
— not just "reasonable suspicion"
— for an arrest.And while DHS agents can take undocumented citizens into custody without a warrant,
⚠️they cannot simply grab people off the street,
throw them in the back of an unmarked vehicle,
and check their citizenship status later.🆘 But ICE and CBP goons are doing just that, all day, every day,
🔥so DHS has resorted to simply lying about the Constitution itself.

New protest laws are impacting political demonstrations
While serving in the Florida state legislature, #Randy #Fine helped pass legislation that provides some
🆘 protection under certain circumstances to
🔥drivers who hit protesters blocking roadways.In Congress, the Republican representative has introduced a similar bill
— what he calls the
“#Thump #Thump #Act”
— for drivers who may encounter protesters in other parts of the country.
“When the consequences for inappropriate behavior are severe enough, people will stop doing it,” Fine said.“Blocking roads is a form of political terrorism.
💥They should get run over.”
Florida is one of more than a dozen states that have cracked down on protests in recent years,
👉 passing laws that often equate political demonstrations with riots in ways that #First #Amendment experts say could be illegal. 🆘 Since 2017, 23 states have passed at least 55 laws to address how and when people can protest,
according to the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law,
which tracks such statutes.❌The laws do such things as mandate at least 30 days in jail for rioting
— often loosely defined as a group involved in tumultuous or potentially violent behavior
— restrict protests on college campuses,
and imprison and fine people who block sidewalks, streets and highways. Some lawmakers like Fine want #federal #legislation that mirrors those efforts.Among the 16 pending federal bills are proposals to
♦️ tighten restrictions on protesting near federal judges, jurors or court staff;
♦️strip nonprofits of their tax status for certain protest-related activities;
♦️and block people convicted of rioting from small business aid.First Amendment advocates warn that the patchwork of state laws,
pending federal bills and court battles risk ⚠️rewriting the rules of public demonstrations.There are already laws to prosecute violent behavior,
making these new efforts unnecessary, they say.
There have been few arrests or prosecutions under the recently passed protest laws,
but free-speech advocates say the measures can be used to #control or #dissuade would-be #demonstrators.https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/01/02/anti-protest-laws-randy-fine/

The US Archivist just decided 𝗻𝗼𝘁 to certify the #EqualRightsAmendment (#ERA).
https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2025/nr25-004“In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid."
Congress originally set the ratification deadline at March 1979, and later voted to extend it to June 1982.
