Austinites join national protest against #Trump Administration

Demonstrators across the country are planning to participate in the "#50501Movement.

#AustinTexas — "On Wednesday, groups across the United States are preparing to shift an online movement in-person with planned protests against the Trump Administration.

"In Texas, Austin saw a group of protestors at the Capitol building on Wednesday morning, with many demonstrators holding signs and flags with phrases like, 'Trump is bad news' and '#SaveOurDemocracy.'

"This comes just days after a demonstration was organized in North Austin, where protestors gathered in response to President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies. Austin police later confirmed two arrests were made after the protests.

"Referred to as the 50501 movement, the demonstrations were organized 'by everyday people,' according to a group called #BuildTheResistance, which advocates for Americans to 'defend democracy against the Trump Administration's attempts to systematically dismantle the U.S. government.'

"The group is calling for 50 protests across all 50 states and has largely been organized with hashtags like #50501 and #BuildTheResistance. The demonstrations come in the wake of Trump's return to the White House, where he has since issued executive orders on immigration, tariffs on foreign countries and the U.S. Department of Education.

"Many of the protests are planned at state capitols, but some will be held in other cities, as well.

"The movement has websites and accounts across social media, including Instagram. The '50501movement page' has labeled itself the official Instagram account for the protests, posting fliers of events across the country.

"Some fliers directly address #Project2025, a political initiative by the #HeritageFoundation organized to build 'conservative victory through policy, personnel, and training,' according to the project's website."

Some dedicated folks in #AugustaMaine showed up for the #50501Movement protest today -- despite the original organizers backing out because of threats from "bad actors". Kudos to those hardy souls who showed up anyways! (And who are there until 8pm tonight)

#AntiTrump protest draws hundreds to #Maine State House Wednesday

"I went to bed and woke up in a different country," said one protester.

Anti-Trump protest in Augusta still on despite confusion

Two organizers dropped out, but the event, part of a nationwide day of protest, is still set for noon at the State House.

"A protest against President Donald Trump scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the State House is expected to go on, despite its two official organizers canceling because of “bad actors looking to spread hate, misinformation, and turmoil.”

"Protests are expected the same day at state capitals across the country in response to orders made by President Trump in his first two weeks of his second term, as well as #Project2025, a playbook by the conservative #HeritageFoundation for changing American government and society whose contributors have been hired throughout the Trump administration.

"The protest is scheduled between noon-8 p.m.

"#KennebecCountyDemocrats and a group called the #WomensMarchAugusta, Maine, both took out permits for the protest and were set to act as co-sponsors.

"However, on Tuesday both groups rescinded their official involvement in the event 'out of an abundance of caution.'

"'The event planned for tomorrow has been infiltrated by bad actors looking to spread hate, misinformation, and turmoil,' the group said in a post on its Facebook page.

“'We have pulled our permit with the Capitol Police and any one who shows up will be considered on their own. People should know we expect bad actors to show up to cause havoc please be vigilant and careful if you do decide to go anyway,' said the post.

"However, another community member has since secured a permit, so the protest is still on."

SCENES FROM THE ATLANTA FOREST CLOSES DOWN

Posted on November 25, 2024 by unoffensiveadmin

"This project has come to a close.
The noblogs team Autistici/Inventati decided to shut down this blog shortly following the republication of the Heritage Foundation dox from againstbeltwayfascism.noblogs.org and after the dox of the Elbit Systems of America. This blog hosted a great deal of antagonistic content over the years, and we are thankful to the Autistici/Inventati team for allowing a majority of the content to remain up for so long. They undoubtedly tolerated a great deal of resistance – we trust that their decision to shut down the blog did not come lightly.

"This site served as a nexus for anonymous publication, a space for engaging in dialogue with other rebels, and a place to spread complicity and proliferate autonomous activitiy.

"Please keep those who are languishing in jails for accusations related to this movement in your hearts- better yet, send them letters.

"Continue fighting for the end of RICO charges.

"Never forget Tortuguita, a hero whose bravery cannot be understated.

"Continue fighting for a world without markets, hierarchy, and fascism.

"For a time, the struggle in the atlanta forest was one of the powerful torches that carried the flames of antagonstic anarchist destruction. We hold our actions in this struggle proudly, and hope you do as well.

"We will never forget the weelaunee forest, we will never forgive those that perpetrated its destruction.

!Viva Tortuguita!

Nothing is Finished
Everything Continues"

Clarence Thomas Faces Recusal Call From Democrats After Wife's Comment

Story by Kaitlin Lewis
September 10, 2024

"Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have called on #SupremeCourt Justice #ClarenceThomas to recuse himself from cases involving a religious legal group after his wife reportedly thanked the conservative organization for its efforts to block Supreme Court reform.

"Thomas, a conservative appointed by former President #GeorgeHWBush in 1991, has been one of the justices at the center of calls for court reform after it was revealed that he has accepted millions of dollars in gifts from some top #RepublicanDonors without disclosing the items and #LuxuryVacations to the court. Questions of Thomas' impartiality were also raised after his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, pressured officials to overturn the 2020 election results in favor of former President Donald Trump.

"Investigative outlet #ProPublica first reported last week that #GinniThomas recently praised conservative legal group #FirstLibertyInstitute in an email to the firm's president and CEO, Kelly Shackelford, for the organization's work in opposing change to the High Court."

On Mon, 1 day after #ProPublica published this article, #GeorgiaStateElectionBoard passed the rule 3-2.

~850 people attended the virtual meeting. Nationally prominent *#conservative* activists spoke in support of it, incl #HeritageFoundation’s #HansVonSpakovsky, who served on #Trump’s Pres Adv Commission on *Election Integrity* [#ElectionInterference #DemocracySubversion], & #HarryMacDougald, atty for #JeffreyClark, a fmr #DOJ ofcl indicted for helping Trump overturn the #Georgia 2020 election.

Pildes, the NYU professor, said that while he was concerned about efforts to block certification at the local level,
he was confident that state courts could resolve any disputes by the time the electors meet.

A new law, the 🔸Electoral Count Reform Act🔸, should provide a significant new layer of protection against election subversion.

The bipartisan bill passed Congress at the end of 2022.

The law makes it so that Trump and his allies cannot repeat what they did in 2020 and submit false slates of electors from key swing states.

Significantly, it says that the slate of electors submitted by a state’s executive is the legitimate slate and raises the threshold in both houses of Congress to object to the electoral result.

While the law controls what Congress must do once it receives certificates from electors,
it doesn’t have much to say about what must happen in the lead-up to the electoral college vote.

🔥That could leave a lot of wriggle room for Trump and allies to try to slow down certification and go to court to try to force states to miss their certification deadline.

After Donald Trump nearly succeeded in overturning the 2020 election, ❓is the US better prepared to stop a similar effort in 2024?❓

Lawyers and other activists say they are ready, having spent the last four years studying and understanding the vulnerabilities that Trump and allies targeted in 2020.

Any effort to block certification is likely to be swiftly challenged in courts,
where Trump has already been unsuccessful dozens of times.

The new Electoral Count Reform Act should offer additional safeguards should there be an effort such as there was in 2020 to get Congress to stop its certification of the vote

Yet it would be a mistake to dismiss the threat altogether.

The same pressure points that existed in 2020 exist in 2024,
and in some places election deniers have been elevated to positions of power.

“This has started earlier in the cycle and is louder and is more consistent,” said Morales-Doyle of the Brennan Center.

“That is all just at a different level than it was before 2020.”

Since 2020, there have been at least 20 instances in eight states of election officials refusing to certify election results.

The first red flag came in 2022, when county commissioners in 🔹Otero county, New Mexico, refused to certify the results of a primary election,
citing vague concerns about voting equipment.

The secretary of state eventually went to court to force the commissioners to certify the election.

In July of this year, two Republicans on the county commission in 🔹Washoe county, Nevada
– a key county in a battleground state
– refused to certify its primary vote, setting off alarms.

The commissioners who refused to certify eventually reversed themselves.

Nevada’s secretary of state, Cisco #Aguilar, has since asked the state supreme court to clarify that county commissioners have an obligation to certify votes.

Sometimes election officials who refuse to certify have pointed to mistakes that happened during the election, even though they did not affect the outcome.

In other cases, like Adams’s in Georgia, officials have refused to certify to protest about what they view as unfair laws.

While courts would probably force recalcitrant officials to certify the vote, significant damage could still be caused.

“You can force certification through legal mechanisms, [but] those events tend to be like rocket fuel for conspiracy theories and misinformation and undermining confidence in the election.

So there’s damage done even where certification is eventually forced,” said Berwick, the "Protect Democracy" lawyer.

The #timeline for certifying the vote is important because,
under federal law,
👉states must have an official election result by 11 December,
six days before the electoral college meets.

💥Delaying certification efforts at the local level could put states at risk of missing that deadline.

“If we get past that deadline, it opens up a lot of questions, like tricky legal questions and room for shenanigans,” Berwick said.

Any effort to challenge the election results will probably start at the local level.

Just as there was in 2020, there’s likely to be a period of uncertainty after election day when votes are still being counted in key swing states.

Two of those, 🔹Wisconsin and 🔹Pennsylvania, still do not allow election officials to begin to process mail-in ballots until election day.

“I’m definitely concerned that you’re gonna have a lot of efforts to disturb the process of counting those votes, if we go into the late evening, early hours of the next day and all of that,”
said Richard Pildes, a professor at New York University who specializes in election law.

The observers amassed by Cleta Mitchell and the RNC could have a significant role.

In 2020, chaotic confrontations at polling sites offered #misleading #evidence
that Trump and allies used in their effort to try to overturn the election.

Trump’s effort to challenge the election results in 🔹Arizona, for example, was undergirded by #affidavits from observers and poll watchers who falsely claimed they saw ballots being
❌ rejected because of the type of pen voters were using.

In 🔹Georgia, Trump pointed to reports from observers in Atlanta falsely claiming they were
❌removed from the facility where mail-in ballots were counted.

In 🔹Michigan, Trump’s team used as evidence an “incident report” from an election observer who falsely said she heard workers giving instructions to
❌ count a rejected ballot.

Accusations of fraud may find a receptive audience at #county #boards responsible for certifying elections.

Until 2020, no one gave much thought to these positions, sometimes filled by elected officials and other times by little-known party loyalists.

In 2020, Trump’s campaign made a strong effort to try to ⚠️delay certification at the local and state level as part of his effort to overturn the election.

In Wayne county, home of 🔹Detroit, Trump personally called two Republican canvassers on the board responsible for certifying the vote there. The two officials ⚠️briefly #refused to certify, then #reversed themselves and did.

At the state level, Aaron Van Langevelde, a Republican on the state board of canvassers, faced ⚠️pressure not to certify the vote, but decided to anyway.

In 🔹Wisconsin, Republicans nearly got the state supreme court to ⚠️block certification of the state’s election.

In 🔹Arizona, Trump called the then governor, Doug Ducey, as he was certifying the vote amid a pressure campaign to ⚠️stop the certification of votes there.
