A quotation from Hannah Arendt
The [American] Founding Fathers never believed that tyranny could arise out of the executive office, because they did not see this office in any different light but as the execution of what the legislation has decreed in various forms. I leave it at that. We know today that the greatest danger of tyranny is, of course, the executive.
Hannah Arendt (1906–1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/76120/

The #CaliforniaLegislature is the #bicamerallegislature maintained by the #StateAssembly or #LowerHouse and the #StateSenate or #UpperHouse. Unlike most states, the #legislature is full-time and has been under #Democratic control since the #70s. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #bwphotography #travel #photos #history #politics

The #CaliforniaCapitol is the seat of #Government for #California and houses the two chambers of the #Legislature, the assembly and senate, and the #offices for many officials. It was completed in stages and added to the #NRHP in 1973. #photography #americana #wa #california #architecture #californication #canon80d #colorphotography #travel #photos #trivia #funfacts #UScapitols #capitols

The #MichiganSupremeCourt ruled 4-3 the state #Legislature lacked the authority to
#AdoptandAmend petition language for a pair of #BallotInitiatives in 2018. Justices said the tactic is unconstitutional because the Legislature circumvented the petition initiative process in 2018. Increases to #Michigan's standard minimum wage, tipped #MinimumWage & an expansion of the state's earned sick time laws are slated to take effect in February.

#ZooeyZephyr and the #Illiberal #Decorum of #Montana’s #Christian #Right.
In a state that once considered itself a political outlier, the #legislature barred a #transgender #representative from its floor. Will encroaching #extremism seize the last best place?

CW: Anti-colonial
From June 12, last year. A supporter friend came for day visit at #FairyCreekBlockade - where I spent about a year(on & off) & brought me #newspaper w/front page of story about the Queen's statue being vandalized by Indigenous activists at #BritishColumbia #legislature . We'd been dealing w/the crown's #colonial #RCMP for months at resistance camps. #DownWithMonarchy #DefundRCMP #DownWithTheCrown
