Morgan Stephens at Daily Kos:

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is making it clear that her state will not be part of Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan. In an interview with Newsweek on Friday, she vowed to stand firm against the president-elect's proposals, aligning with other Democratic state leaders who are determined to block efforts to send the National Guard to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. [...] Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has referred to Trump’s proposed migrant camps as “concentration camps.” She is also concerned that mass deportations could violate due process, or the constitutional mandate that government officials follow proper legal procedures before depriving an individual of life, liberty, or property, according to the National Constitution Center.

“The problem with that is it leads to abuses,” Mayes said of Trump’s mass deportation plans, and argued that Trump should instead focus on “violent cartel members” inside the U.S. On Tuesday, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker also vowed to resist incoming border czar Tom Homan's threatened deportations, saying he and Trump don't have the authority to proceed with mass deportations.  "We have laws that protect undocumented immigrants, and we're going to follow the law. I'm concerned that the Trump administration and his lackeys aren't," Pritzker said at a press conference. However, He did note some exceptions, though.  "Violent criminals who are undocumented and convicted of violent crime should be deported," Pritzker said. "I do not want them in my state. I don't think they should be in the United States."  Chicago will be the first place targeted for deporting undocumented migrants after Trump is sworn in, according to Homan. Pritzker publicly vowed to protect Illinois residents last month at a press conference. 

Remember Pritzker saying, “You come for my people, you come through me” in the days after the election? Later, he helped spearhead an organization called Governors Safeguarding Democracy, joining with fellow Democrats readying their fight by sharing information and resources.  The incoming Trump administration has also set its sights on California. But the border state, a longtime Trump target, is pushing back against his planned deportations. On Tuesday, Sen. Alex Padilla criticized them as “extremist” during a Judiciary Committee hearing.  [...] As Daily Kos reported last month, Democratic governors have a handful of options to push back against mass deportations, including executive order authority directing states not to intervene. But sheriffs can go outside this sort of sanctuary-city jurisdiction. As governors and other local leaders join together to oppose mass deportations, it’s becoming apparent that states will be the de facto battleground for shaping U.S. immigration policy. 

Happy to see some statewide-level Democrats, including Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, have plans to fight the cruel mass deportation policies by the Trump-Miller-Homan trifecta of evil.

On August 3, 1919, several days of racial violence targeting Black communities in Chicago, Illinois, came to an end after intervention by the National Guard. After five days of gunfire, beatings, and burnings, 23 African Americans and 15 white people had been killed, 537 people injured, and 1,000 African American families left homeless.

During the Great Migration, Chicago was a popular destination for many Black people leaving the South in search of economic opportunity and a refuge from racial terror lynching. From 1910 to 1920, the city’s Black population swelled from 44,000 to 109,000 people. The new arrivals joined thousands of white immigrants also relocating to Chicago in search of work. Many Black newcomers settled on Chicago's South Side, in neighborhoods adjacent to communities of European immigrants, close to plentiful industrial jobs. 

Although African American people had fled the Southern brand of racial violence, once in Chicago they still faced racial animosity and discrimination that created challenging living conditions like overcrowded housing, inequality at work, police brutality, and segregation by custom rather than law.

In the second decade of the 20th century, segregation in Chicago was not as legally regulated as in Southern cities, but unwritten rules restricted Black people from many neighborhoods, workplaces, and "public" areas—including beaches. On July 27, 1919, a Black youth named Eugene Williams drowned at a Chicago beach after a white man struck him with a rock for drifting to the “white” side of Lake Michigan. When police refused to arrest the man who had thrown the rock, Black witnesses protested; white mobs responded with widespread violence that lasted five days.

Over that terrifying period, white mobs attacked Black people on sight, set fire to more than 30 properties on Chicago’s South Side, and even attempted to attack Provident Hospital—which served mostly Black patients. Six thousand National Guard troops were called in to quell the unrest, and many Black people left Chicago after the terrifying experience.

Though state officials announced a plan to investigate and punish all parties responsible for violence and destruction of property during the unrest, many more Black people were arrested than white. The subsequent grand jury proceedings resulted in the indictment of primarily Black defendants. Later testifying before a commission investigating the roots of the Chicago violence, the Cook County district attorney admitted this was due to bias in his department of white officers.

"There is no doubt that a great many police officers were grossly unfair in making arrests," he said in 1922. "They shut their eyes to offenses committed by white men while they were very vigorous in getting all the colored men they could get."

Judge Captain George Neves Leighton (October 22, 1912 - June 6, 2018) and his twin sister, Georgina, were born in New Bedford, Massachusetts to Cape Verdean immigrants Antonio Neves Leitao and Anna Silva Garcia Leitao. His last name was changed, with his parent’s permission, to Leighton by an elementary school teacher who could not pronounce “Leitao.”

He worked with his father in the cranberry bogs, strawberry patches, and blueberry bushes of Cape Cod. He had not completed high school because he went to work on an oil tanker at the age of 16, and he began taking night classes.

He wrote to Howard University in hopes of being admitted that fall. He received a response letter indicating that matriculation without a high school degree was not possible but as an adult, he could take classes, pay regular tuition and fees, and have his record reviewed for possible matriculation in the future. He graduated from Howard University (Magna Cum Laude). He was admitted to the Phi Beta Kappa Honorary Society, earned a commission in the Army Reserve Officers Training Corp, and a scholarship to Harvard University Law School.

His law school studies were interrupted when he was drafted into the Army. He attained the rank of Captain of Infantry, he left military service and returned to Harvard Law School and graduated with an L.L.B.

Passing the Illinois Bar exam in 1947, he served as the Chairman of the Legal Redress Committee of the Chicago NAACP and was appointed an Illinois Assistant Attorney General for the Chicago area. He co-founded Moore, Ming, and Leighton which became one of the largest predominantly African American law firms in the nation. He served as the President of Chicago’s NAACP and was elected a Cook County Circuit Court judge. He became the first African American to be appointed to the Illinois Appellate Court. President Gerald Ford was nominated to serve as a District Court Judge.

He retired from the Court and joined the law firm of Earl L. Neal & Associates. He mentored several young Chicago lawyers including President Barack Obama.

He and his wife, Virginia Berry Quivers had two children. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #phibetakappa #kappaalphapsi

COOK COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY’S RACE 2024

by James E. Gierach

(LTE Daily Herald, October 23, 2024)

Dear Editor—

In 1992, I was a candidate for Cook County state’s attorney. I proposed and intended to lead a change from drug prohibition to drug legalization as the fundamental public policy change essential to reduce violent crime and effectively address a dozen crises made worse by drug prohibition laws. Not an easy idea to sell to the electorate, then or now.

Because of my long interest in that office both as an assistant state’s attorney and candidate, I am keenly interested in the Burke versus Fioretti race.

Reviewing Eileen O’Neill Burke’s answer to one question posited by the Daily Herald: “What crime should be the offices’s top priority? Drugs? Gang violence?…”, Eileen Burke answered, “My top priority is tackling the surge of gun violence in our community.”

Okay. We’re all for that. But how?

In the early 1970s under Cook County State’s Attorney Edward V. Hanrahan, Chicago had a specialized “Gun Court.” Drug prohibition was then just then getting started with adoption of the 1971 Controlled Substances Act. By 1989, when Hon. Thomas R. Fitzgerald was the Presiding Judge of the Cook County Criminal Courts, twelve “Night Narcotics Courts” were created under his leadership to handle a bursting narcotics case load. https://www.ojp.gov/txtfiles/dncc.txt

and https://www.chicagotribune.com/1992/07/21/night-court-bursting-at-seams/

Unfortunately, neither the idea of specialized gun nor drug courts proved equal to the monumental task mounded by bad drug policy laws—Drug Prohibition Laws.

Today, immigration is an added crisis as migrants flee drug-prohibition lawlessness, and its inherent gun violence and corruption in South and Central America. Yet, no candidate for president or any office says, “End Drug Prohibition! to Shut Down a Dozen Crises.” In the 1990s, Trump the Businessman and Drug Legalizer called the Drug War “a joke.” So did I.

[See Photos below]

As I contended in my 1992 campaign for this same office Burke and Fioretti seek: No prosecution or law-enforcement priority can successfully stop violent crime without ending drug prohibition. The Capone Prohibition Era violence proved it. The Drug Prohibition Era is reproving it.

There's biting off more than you can chew, and there's last night's episode of The Good Wife, which took a run at issues of institutional racism and the police killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner and ended up smashing into a wall. It was easy to tell something unusual was afoot when the show opened with a title card reading "This episode was written and filmed prior to the grand jury decisions in Ferguson and Staten Island … All mentions of 'Ferguson' are in reference to the events in August 2014 after the shooting death of Michael Brown." Which prompted the question: How would this episode, centered on a political debate between State's Attorney candidates Alicia Florrick and Frank Prady, tackle such a complicated topic?

The answer: clumsily, to say the least. The Good Wife usually excels when keeping it topical, and is remarkably nimble for a network show, getting to current events much more quickly than a 22-episode CBS behemoth should. It's tackled sensitive issues (such as campus rape or NSA wiretapping) with verve and intelligence, and also throws many a sly wink to saucier political theater (Peter's Eliot Spitzer-like affair is core to the original premise) and the Internet memes of the hour. This episode, for some colossally silly reason, featured all of the above. We had Alicia moving to fight off publicity about Peter's latest affair (a fling with his in-house counsel), the firm negotiating a divorce suit for its faux-Google CEO Neil Gross (somehow the words "the Fappening" were uttered), and a looming jury verdict on the homicide of a black Chicagoan, with racial tension about to boil over if the white cops responsible were exonerated.

This show often excels at spinning so many plates at the same time, somehow seamlessly switching between comic material, political squabbling, and truly weighty issues. Not this time. It's hard to say what the biggest misstep was, but things really came apart when Alicia and Frank Prady, their debate interrupted by the breaking news of the jury's verdict, started an impromptu discussion in a hotel kitchen over the best ways to address systemic racism in law enforcement, while the kitchen staff (mostly people of color) gathered and began to interject.

Why are two white people debating the best way to improve diversity at the State's Attorney office, asked one onlooker. Why pledge to decrease focus on drug crime when such crime can impact minority communities, said another. Another recent immigrant expressed the feeling that African-Americans are responsible for most crime, setting off even more furious debate, a cacophony of yelling that had Alicia and Frank looking befuddled. Herein lies the problem of the episode: It sought to make no real point outside of "issues of race in America sure are complicated!" Alicia and Frank staked out their ground, but the show was careful to side with no one and rather tugged at its collar. It felt patronizing, to say the very least, and like the show was trying to acknowledge recent events while admitting it lacks the authority to really dig into them.

Just as tin-eared was a plot centering around the political tinderbox on Chicago's streets as the verdict came in, with Governor Peter Florrick trying to corral two rival religious leaders in the community (recurring characters on the show played by Frankie Faison and Gbenga Akinnagbe) and the mayor, who was inexplicably absent. Peter made the choice to take to the streets and stand in silent solidarity with the leaders of the protest, which seemingly calmed the potential for serious clashes between police and protestors. This was handled with a little more subtlety—Peter made a good political call without too much grandstanding and let those with authority over the issue do the talking—but was mixed in with the dull drama of him breaking off his affair with Connie Nielsen's character, which could have waited a couple of weeks.

This show has done much, much better in the past. A multi-episode plotline in season three explored the banal, systematic racism of the State's Attorney's office, with Peter promoting Cary to a top deputy position despite his relative lack of experience. Peter saw Cary as a good hire, as he indisputably proved to be, but also as a peer in a way that he probably could not have with the office's more-experienced black attorneys. Over the span of several episodes, the show did a nuanced job exploring Peter's bias, which he could never really acknowledge to himself, as a way of examining ingrained white privilege. In contrast, “The Debate” tried to tackle the issues of Ferguson and Eric Garner in just 42 minutes.

The Good Wife is about to go on another break before returning in March for the final 10 episodes of the season, and at the very least, the stakes for that run are now clearly laid out. The law firm has re-hired the mean and wonderful bulldog David Lee (Zach Grenier), and with Cary back in his office, we should have plenty of juicy courtroom drama in a season that's been a little lacking of late. Alicia is finally, firmly committed to the idea that she's the right person for the job, and is throwing herself into her campaign. Tech magnate Neil Gross has fired the firm, so hopefully we never have to hear the words "ChumHum" again. It's been a muddled season, but this framework offers great potential for a big turnaround. And with any luck, “The Debate” will prove a lesson to the show in the future, prompting it to slow down and give searing topical issues the time they deserve.

Adjustment Of Status

For many residing in Thailand with a US visa, the dream of permanent residency, or obtaining a green card, beckons. This dream can be achieved through a process known as Adjustment of Status (AOS). This article explores the intricacies of AOS for US visa holders in Thailand, equipping you with the knowledge to navigate this crucial step towards permanent residency in the United States.

What is Adjustment of Status?

Adjustment of Status is the legal process for individuals already in the US to obtain permanent resident status without leaving the country. This simplifies the process compared to applying from abroad. However, for those currently residing in Thailand with a US visa, AOS requires some additional considerations.

Eligibility for Adjustment of Status in Thailand

To be eligible for AOS in Thailand, you must meet specific criteria:

Hold a qualifying US visa: Certain visas, such as K-1 (fiancé(e)) or K-3 (spouse of a US citizen), allow AOS application after entering the US and marrying your sponsor.

Have a USCIS-approved petition: Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, filed by your US citizen spouse or family member, is typically required before applying for AOS. In some cases, both forms can be submitted concurrently.

Maintain a lawful immigration status: Your current visa must be valid and allow for AOS applications.

The AOS Process in Thailand

While residing in Thailand, the AOS process involves these general steps:

Gather Required Documents: Prepare documents proving your eligibility, such as marriage certificates, proof of financial support, and evidence of a bona fide relationship (for K visas).

File Form I-485: This application, along with supporting documents, is submitted to the USCIS Chicago Lockbox facility designated for overseas filers.

Biometrics Appointment: Once your application is accepted, you'll attend a biometrics appointment at a designated facility in Thailand to capture fingerprints and photographs.

Interview (Optional): While not always required, USCIS may schedule an interview to verify your eligibility and the legitimacy of your underlying petition.

Receive Green Card (if approved): Upon successful processing, you'll receive your green card by mail, officially granting you permanent resident status.

Benefits of Adjustment of Status

Obtaining a green card through AOS offers numerous advantages:

Permanent Residency: Live and work freely in the United States without visa restrictions.

Path to Citizenship: Green card holders become eligible to apply for US citizenship after meeting residency requirements.

Travel Benefits: Freely travel outside the US without jeopardizing your permanent resident status.

Seeking Professional Guidance

The AOS process can be intricate, and immigration laws are subject to change. Consulting with a qualified US immigration attorney familiar with the nuances of AOS for Thai residents is highly recommended. They can guide you through the process, ensure you meet eligibility requirements, and address any potential issues that might arise.

Conclusion

Adjustment of Status provides a pathway to permanent US residency for those residing in Thailand with qualifying US visas. By understanding the eligibility criteria, the application process, and the benefits of AOS, you can embark on this journey with greater clarity and confidence. Remember, seeking professional legal advice is crucial for navigating the complexities of immigration law and maximizing your chances of success.

Illinois - AG - Settlement Agreement - GrapeTree Medial Staffing

Illinois Attorney General Raqoul Reaches Settlement with Medical Staffing Agency, GrapeTree Medical Staffing, for Charging Employees Fees for Missing Work GrapeTree Medical Staffing to Repay Back Wages, Interest to Thousands of Illinois Workers Chicago, IL (STL.News) Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul Thursday announced a settlement agreement that resolves an investigation by the Attorney General’s office and the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) into a medical staffing company’s practice of deducting “booking fees” when workers missed shifts.  Under the settlement, GrapeTree Medical Staffing, LLC (GrapeTree) agrees to pay approximately $950,000 in back wages and interest to around 3,000 current and former employees in Illinois. “Illinois law prohibits employers from disciplining employees by deducting their pay.  Any company doing business in our state must follow laws that require workers to be compensated for the hours they work without unauthorized pay deductions,” Raoul said.  “I am committed to enforcing laws that protect Illinois workers and support law-abiding businesses, and my office will continue to collaborate with the Illinois Department of Labor to accomplish that goal.” “At its core, the mission of the Illinois Department of Labor is to ensure that workers are paid the wages to which they’re entitled,” said Illinois Department of Labor Director Jane Flanagan.  “Thanks to the hard work of employees within the Department of Labor and Attorney General’s office, these workers will receive the wages that were wrongfully deducted from them.” GrapeTree is a medical staffing company that provides healthcare professionals to work in long-term care and assisted living facilities in 12 states.  Employees manage their own schedules by signing up for shifts through an online system.  Raoul’s office and the IDOL found that GrapeTree charged employees a fee in the form of a payroll deduction if they did not show up for a shift or canceled a shift within 72 hours.  The fees deducted ranged in size from $50 to $200.  Under the settlement, GrapeTree agreed to end the practice in Illinois and pay Illinois employees all fees they are owed, with interest. Illinois law prohibits pay deductions as a method of employee discipline in any industry.  The Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act permits pay deductions in only specific limited circumstances, and discipline policies do not match any of those circumstances. Assistant Attorney General Henry Weaver and Bureau Chief Alvar Ayala handled the case for Raoul’s Worker Protection Unit. Attorney General Raoul’s Workplace Rights Bureau protects and advances the employment rights of all Illinois residents, particularly the state’s most vulnerable residents and immigrant populations.  The bureau investigates and litigates cases involving serious or persistent wage law violations or other significant employment practices and monitors and proposes legislation concerning labor and employment issues. Attorney General Raoul encourages workers who wish to file a complaint about an employer’s practices to call the Workplace Rights Hotline at 1-844-740-5076 or visit the Attorney General’s website. IDOL encourages workers that have concerns about improper deductions from their paychecks or other wage-related questions to contact the Department at 312-793-2808 or by filing a complaint online.

Mother Jones

The Most Dangerous Woman in America

Mary G. Harris Jones (baptized 1837-1930), called Mother Jones, was an Irish-American schoolteacher and dressmaker. She is one of the most important figures in worker's activism.

Born in Cork, Ireland to tenant farmers, she and her family immigrated to Canada when Jones was 10 due to the Great Famine. She faced xenophobic, racist, and anti-Catholic discrimination. She attended, but did not graduate, from the Toronto Normal School and began teaching, but quickly tired of it.

She moved to Memphis and married George E. Jones, an organizer of the National Union of Iron Moulders (late the International Molders and Foundry Workers Union of North America).

Just 6 years later, she lost her husband and all four of their children to an epidemic of yellow fever. Jones moved to Chicago and worked as a dressmaker for four years before all her possessions, house, and shop were destroyed by the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

After the Fire, Jones helped in the rebuilding efforts and joined the Knights of Labor (the first mass organization of the working class in the United States, founded in 1869). She started participating in and organizing strikes and protests.

After the violent Haymarket Affair of 1886, when the Knights of Labor dissolved, Jones joined the United Mine Workers and led them in picketing. She was a union organizer who worked in particular with the wives and children of workers. She was also a member of the Socialist Party of America. A notably talented orator, her speeches were consistently well-attended. In 1902, her speeches led to her being called "the most dangerous woman in America" by a district attorney at one of her hearings for breaking laws with which she disagreed.

One of her particular interests was children's labor. She traveled to Pennsylvania's silk mills in 1901, largely staffed by teenaged girls. In 1903, she organized a march across multiple states to the hometown of President Theodore Roosevelt called the Children's Crusade. She attempted to insist upon a meeting with Roosevelt and was denied. She also was stymied in her attempts to publicize the disabilities children received from dangerous working conditions, like missing fingers, because mill owners partially owned the newspapers.

In 1921, Jones, along with fellow organizer Bill Blizzard, led coal miners in the Battle of Blair Mountain. Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in the United States history and was suppressed by the United Staes Army, killing up to 100 protestors.

Jones died in 1930 and is buried in the Union Miners Cemetary. Her community raised money to give her a proper headstone after her death. Miners' Day, October 11th, is now also referred to as Mother Jones's Day". She has posthumously been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame and the National Mining Hall of Fame. In the Pittston Coal strike in 1989-1990, the "Daughters of Mother Jones" were essential in the functioning of the protest.

Notably, it's also been suggested that Jones is the titular 'she' in "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain", an American folk song.

What would Mother Jones think of her own legacy? As an activist and a socialist, she would be delighted to be thought of as a troublemaker. Once, when denounced publically at the United States Senate as the "grandmother of all agitators", she responded that she hoped to be "the great-grandmother of all agitators."

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

September 24, 2021

Heather Cox Richardson

On Monday, we learned that after last year’s election, John Eastman, a well-connected lawyer advising former president Donald Trump, outlined a six-point plan to overturn the outcome of the election and install Trump as America’s leader. They planned to cut the voters’ actual choice, Democrat Joe Biden, out of power: as Trump advisor Steve Bannon put it, they planned to “kill the Biden presidency in the crib.” This appears to have been the plan that Trump and his loyalists tried to execute on January 6.

That is, we now have written proof of an attempt to destroy our democracy and replace it with an autocracy.

This was not some crazy plot of some obscure dude in a shack in the mountains; this was a plan of the president of the United States of America, and it came perilously close to succeeding. The president of the United States tried to overturn the results of an election—the centerpiece of our democracy—and install himself into power illegitimately.

If this is not a hair-on-fire, screaming emergency, what is?

And yet, Republican lawmakers, with the notable exceptions of Representatives Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), have largely remained silent about the fact that the head of their party tried to destroy our democracy.

The best spin on their silence is that in refusing to defend the former president while also keeping quiet enough that they do not antagonize the voters in his base, they are choosing their own power over the protection of our country.

The other option is that the leaders of the Republican Party have embraced authoritarianism, and their once-grand party—the party of Abraham Lincoln, the party that saved the United States in the 1860s, the party that removed racial enslavement from our fundamental law—has become an existential threat to our nation.

Democracy requires at least two healthy parties capable of running a government in order to provide oversight for those currently in control of the government and to channel opposition into peaceful attempts to change the country’s path rather than into revolution. But Republicans appear to believe that any Democratic government is illegitimate, insisting that Democrats’ calls for business regulation, a basic social safety net, and infrastructure investment are “socialism” that will destroy the country.

With Democrats in charge of the federal government, Republicans are cementing their power in the states to support a future coup like the one Eastman described. Using “audits” of the 2020 elections, notably in Arizona but now also in Pennsylvania and Texas, Trump loyalists have convinced their supporters to distrust elections, softening the ground to overturn them in the future. According to a new poll by NORC at the University of Chicago, 26% of Americans now believe that “[t]he 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and Joe Biden is an illegitimate president,” and 8% believe that "[u]se of force is justified to restore Donald Trump to the presidency."

Arguing that they have to stop the voter fraud they have falsely claimed threw the election to Biden, Republican lawmakers in 18 states have passed more than 30 laws to cut down Democratic voting and cement their own rule. Trump supporters have threatened election workers, prompting them to quit, and have harassed school board members and local officials, driving them from office.

Although attorneys general are charged with nonpartisan enforcement of the law, we learned earlier this month that in September 2020, 32 staff members of Republican attorneys general met in Atlanta, where they participated in “war games” to figure out what to do should Trump not be reelected. The summit was organized by the Rule of Law Defense Fund, the fundraising arm of the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), which sent out robocalls on January 5 urging recipients to march to the Capitol the following day “to stop the steal.” In May, RAGA elevated the man responsible for those robocalls to the position of executive director, prompting others to leave.

In states where Republicans have rigged election mechanics, party members need to worry about primary challengers from the right, rather than Democratic opponents. So they are purging from the party all but Trump loyalists, especially as the former president is backing challengers against those who voted in favor of his impeachment in the House in January 2021. Last week, one of those people, Representative Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), announced he was retiring, in part because of right-wing threats against his family.

Trump loyalists are openly embracing the language of authoritarianism. In Texas, Abbott is now facing a primary challenger who today tweeted: “Texans deserve a strong and robust leader committed to fighting with them against the radical Left. They deserve a leader like Brazil has in Jair Bolsonaro…..” Bolsonaro, a right-wing leader whose approval rating in late August was 23%, is threatening to stay in power in Brazil against the wishes of its people. He claims that the country’s elections are fraudulent and that “[e]ither we’ll have clean elections, or we won’t have elections.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) today used language fascists have used in the past to stoke hatred of their political opponents, tweeting that “ALL House Democrats are evil and will kill unborn babies all the way up to birth and then celebrate.” Yesterday, the leader of Turning Points U.S.A., Charlie Kirk, brought the movement’s white nationalism into the open when he told a YouTube audience that Democrats were backing “an invasion of the country” to bring in “voters that they want and that they like” and to work toward “diminishing and decreasing white demographics in America.” He called for listeners to “[d]eputize a citizen force, put them on the border, give them handcuffs, get it done.”

Today, we learned that the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will be held in Budapest, Hungary, where leader Viktor Orbán, whom Fox News Channel personality Tucker Carlson has openly admired, is dismantling democracy and eroding civil rights. When former vice president Mike Pence spoke in Budapest earlier this week at a forum denouncing immigration and urging traditional social values, he told the audience he hoped that the U.S. Supreme Court would soon outlaw abortion thanks to the three justices Trump put on the court.

Establishment Republicans who are now out of power are not on board the Trump train. They are quietly backing anti-Trumpers like Representative Cheney. Former House speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, former Florida governor Jeb Bush—who was widely expected to win the Republican nomination in 2016, only to be shut out of it by Trump—and former president George W. Bush's former adviser Karl Rove have all donated money to Cheney to help her stave off a challenge from a Trump loyalist in the 2022 election. Next month, former president Bush himself will hold a fundraiser for Cheney in Texas.

Other establishment Republicans currently in power might be staying quiet about the party’s slide toward authoritarianism because they are simply hoping that the Trump fire will burn itself out. The former president is no longer commanding the crowds he once did, and his increasing legal woes as well as the investigation into the insurrection will almost certainly take up his time and energy. The mounting coronavirus deaths among his unvaccinated supporters also stand to weaken support for his faction.

But the fact that Republican lawmakers have ignored the Eastman memo, which outlines the destruction of our democracy, suggests that the party, which organized in the 1850s to protect the nation against those who would destroy it, has come full circle.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

[from comments]

Mobiguy

It is time to call this out as what it is - a well-documented attempt to overthrow the government, led by people too unconcerned or too stupid to worry about leaving a paper trail.

The January 6th sheep currently in court are not the problem. It's time to round up the ringleaders of this attempted coup and prosecute them on an open and shut case of treason.

Reasonable people insist on framing this coup as a robust political debate, but reasonable people are wrong. It is a naked power grab, an assault on the popular will, and blatantly illegal. Three evidence is there, in the seditionists' own hands.

A crime has been committed, even if it was unsuccessful. Failed bank robbers don't get to walk because they got no money. Failed murderers are still prosecuted. The evidence is there for all to see, and the alleged criminals aren't denying it. They're doubling down, and we're letting them. Either prosecute them, or remove the treason laws from the books since they're clearly meaningless and unenforceable.

In short: lock them up.
