Arizona Republicans pass new generation of ‘show me your papers’ laws

GOP lawmakers are pushing a ballot measure that bars undocumented immigrants from many taxpayer-funded social benefits.

Republicans in the Arizona House passed a bill to put a controversial immigration measure on the ballot in November, requiring local governments to check a person’s immigration status before providing access to public health care, housing assistance, and employment programs.

Both chambers also passed identical versions of an immigration bill expected to be vetoed by Gov. Katie Hobbs once they reach her desk.

House Concurrent Resolution 2060 is the brainchild of House Speaker Ben Toma, who is running for a Valley Congressional seat in a crowded race. The House approved the bill on Thursday in a 31-28 vote, and it now goes to the Senate, which is likely to pass it. If voters approve it in November, undocumented immigrants will be barred from obtaining many taxpayer-funded social benefits starting in 2026.

Reportedly, the bill is designed to ensure "Arizona taxpayers do not bear the financial burden of paying for the federal government's failure to control illegal immigration at the border," Toma is supposed to have said Monday during a House Appropriations Committee hearing.

For the love of God please stop filling out that Senate survey post that I've seen floating around. It's not even a survey being put on by the Senate. It's being put on by Senator Tillis (hard right conservative). You can see it in the url when you click the link it says "ttillis". This survey isn't going to be used to inform policy choices, it's going to be used by the GOP as something like proof of how social media is biased against conservatives or something equally as stupid.

That's why the questions are so obviously biased and misleading

We all need to vote in 2024, and vote for Democrats. Our freedom depends on it.

"He has made clear that he will do everything in his power to win the 2024 election. Nothing will be off limits. As desperate as he was after the 2020 election, he is more so this time. He will cross any line, break any rule and violate any norm to return to power.

Trump’s entire candidacy is motivated by vengeance, with the stated goal of delivering retribution against his enemies. He has said that if he is elected, he will be a dictator for at least the first day he is in office. He recently shared an image of words that voters associate with him, which include “revenge,” “power” and “dictatorship” in the center in large, unmistakable font."

Nia Ola (someone I strongly urge y'all that you follow in light of certain events and just in generall, because they're incredibly informed, well-read) has made a point of saying that everything we're seeing now with dismantling of our theorical rights, is something Demoratics and Republicans have been ramping up to since as early as the 90s.

Because the internet has made access to others and the proflieration of ideas far easier than it was before success of its application as a platform, our otherwise fascist government has - since 9/11 and the Patriot Act, fomented a presence with large media platforms like 4chan and all of its inspired affliates (from Reddit to Kiwi Farms), with the explicit intention to sow distrust towards anyone who so much as suggests non-conservative or anti-racist ideas.

They may have operated within and supported the platforms mentioned above to spread fascist and far-right ideologies to the youth so that, by the time most become politically active, they're already programmed to be hostile towards and criminalize socialist ideas and leftists attempting to reconstruct community and class consciousness for the masses.

She notes how dismissive people were of information regarding Cop Cities (still being constructed) and community organizers. All of this was field-tested in Atlanta, Georgia, which slapped organizers with RICO charges for collecting money for bail or organizing protests.

They used the YSL case to once again legitimize using [hip-hop] lyrics (something that was theoretically protected under the First Amendment) to criminalize Young Thug under RICO. Instead of people peeping what was being done, they meme'd about it.

To this end, 4chan and its ilk were allowed to thrive for as long as it has (almost twenty-two years since 2003) because they were necessary for the creation of things like GamerGate and targeted attacks on people like Anita Sarkeesian (an individual who challenged the status quo of sexism and bigotry in gaming culture).

That is, until they were eventually compromised. With Twitter and Instagram actively spreading misinformation and propping up fascist ideologues on the say-so of Musk and Zuckerberg, there doesn't seem to be much use for it.

The post-election discourse on social media (from blaming third parties, blaming genuine leftists, to wishing death on the Palestinians, etc), our so-called politicians co-signing repressive legislation and standing back as the more overtly racist political party spreads misinformation and xenophobic messaging about anyone who isn't white and doesn't support America becoming a white ethnostate, might be the canary in the coal mine.

It is a sign of what they plan to do next to left-leaning people using platforms like TikTok to spread de-radicalizing and left-leaning information.

Not sorry leftist commie libtards demoRats…

Your candidates have called me, my family, and my friends the following:

Irredeemable

Deplorable

Garbage

Nazis

Fascists

Your commie feds have labeled us domestic terrorists.

You’ve relentless attacked our candidate for 12 years:

Shot him (and killed one of his supporters while wounding several others), multiple attempted assassinations, unprecedented lawfare on him and his supporters sending multiple to jail and bankrupting “Americas Mayor”, the Jan 6 gulag entrapped patriots by a lying corrupt democrat inquisition are all but forgotten about with several committing suicide, perpetuated multiple significant grand hoaxes that still have not been held accountable….

You wanted us forced vaccinated, put in camps, and our kids taken away…

You’ve lied about every last fucking thing.

And this is the very VERY short and bottom line up front list.

You all can go fuck yourselves. Fuck yourselves with a sandpaper dildo. The men and adults are back in charge. And it will only benefit you whether you agree or not.

#not reconciling. Not a fucking chance.

#twisting the knife in the wound

#no fucks given.

#have a nice day

#retribution is coming for you fucksticks

How’s it going buddy

THE DEMORAT COMMIE DEEP STATE HAVE RIGGED FAKE WITCH HUNT INDICTMENTS AGAINT ME TO WEAPONIZE THEIR TWO TIERED CORRUPT JUSTICE SYSTEM

Raskin floated one hypothetical post where he thinks Ocasio-Cortez would excel: the ranking member spot on the House DOGE subcommittee, a GOP effort to slash federal spending that’s being formed under the umbrella of Oversight. Fellow progressives including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), her close ally for whom she has served as a surrogate, have expressed a willingness to explore working with Republicans on governmental waste.

Even progressives are sick of the DemoRats and the left, moving toward Republicans

[dicapiito]

Democratic strategy talk from the Squad members who wanted Trump to win so they can sit on their asses and collect $176K a year and not do shit. I don’t even need to address white people because white people already proven they can’t be reliable for a damn thing. White men want to have their asses kissed and white women are too desperate to be like white men to give a fuck about themselves.

Not only am I not listening to anyone who would call the police on Black People and justify it, and yes that includes dipshits like Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Bernie Sanders and other Democrats who were involved in wanting Joe Biden to step down and bypass Kamala Harris. These democrats who were turncoats will be able to sit on their asses and collect $176K because they’re not the majority and they know that they can get away with it.

Not only do I have better shit to do with my time; just like with the media; I am not hate watching their nonsense. They wanna cater to all but the bases who showed up for Democrats in overwhelming numbers then imma continue to mind my business since California doesn’t have elections until 2026.

“ what Harris should’ve done” is nothing more than the media doing the same shit they did in 2016 after bashing on Hilary Clinton. It’s just more annoying now because these stupid ass “ Justice Demorats” who have major antiblack problems in their communities being able to talk over Black People. The media adding a token Black Person who isn’t even that liked just adds to the bullshit similar to 2016, 2017 again.

Oh side note; anyone seen Jill Stein? Asking for the leftists who want Biden to “ do something”

( and I wish people would stop using Kamala and then use the last names of the white men. Joe and Kamala or Biden and Harris. Only reason why Hilary is always Hilary because her last name obviously. Not the case when it comes to Harris. )

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE! Human rights organizations from different sectors marched to US Embassy in line with the 125th anniversary of the Philippine-American War. The peaceful protest was barred by state forces from the PNP in Kalaw Ave., proving further that the Marcos-Duterte regime has no tolerance for dissent, violating our demoratic rights to assemble. As we assert our calls for today, Kabataan para sa Tribung Pilipino (KATRIBU) vehemently condemns the US for its warmongering practices that continuously back Israel in committing grave offenses and human rights violations against the Palestinians, amounting the death toll to 27,000 in the past 121 days. The US-backed aggression in Palestine is no different from the mercenary traditions in the Philippines that still persist until today through various forms—the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Act (EDCA), the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT), and more. With this, we reiterate our call—from Palestine to the Philippines, stop the US war machine!
