GUYS IS AMERICA FINALLY ON IT'S PATH ON MAKING FUCKING CONCENTRATION CAMPS?!!

My aunt who lives in California, just sent me this msg that she got,

Hello BAS family,

Happy Wednesday!

Please read this important message from LACOE.

Los Angeles County of Schools Superintendent

Dr. Debra Duardo Statement on the

Sensitive Locations Policy Overturn

"In light of the new administration’s action today to overturn the sensitive locations policy, I want to reassure our education community that the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) remains steadfastly committed to ensuring that every student, regardless of their immigration status, has access to a safe, secure and nurturing learning environment.

The sensitive locations policy previously prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from arresting immigrants in places such as schools, churches and hospitals. The change to the policy does not overrule the student’s constitutional right to an education. It also does not overrule state constitutional protections.

It is important to reinforce that all students possess the right to a public education, independent of their immigration status. Our schools are mandated to ensure that no student is denied enrollment or faced with barriers to their educational opportunities based on their or their family’s immigration status.

Our schools serve as safe havens for our students and families.

It is imperative that we stand united in our unwavering commitment to the education and well-being of every student within our county. As educators and leaders, we are responsible for creating and maintaining an environment where all students feel valued, secure and protected. Together, we can foster inclusive learning spaces and reflect the rich diversity of our communities."

For more information and resources about immigration rights and schools visit LACOE’s website.

You have constitutional rights:

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR if an immigration agent is knocking on the door.

DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS from an immigration agent if they try to talk to you. You have the right to remain silent.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without first speaking to a lawyer. You have the right to speak with a lawyer.

If you are outside of your home, ask the agent if you are free to leave and if they say yes, leave calmly.

If you are inside of your home, do not give the agent permission to enter your home based on your 4th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution unless the agent has a warrant to enter, signed by a judge or magistrate with your name on it. Ask the agent to slide the document under the door or show it to you through the window.

Thank you for supporting our adult learners.

“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.”

― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, along with the other two Democrat-appointed justices, powerfully said in the dissenting opinion: the Supreme Court has made “a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of Government, that no man is above the law.”

"When [a president] uses his official powers in any way, under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy's Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune,... In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law," wrote Justice Sotomayor.

This corrupt, extreme far-right Supreme Court has just opened the gates and paved the road for a fascist America. It means politicians, judges, their families, etc., will be in fear if they speak out against the president, or don't do what he wants, they could be arrested or killed. If you protest, you and your family could be imprisoned or shot.

When the Executive branch of government has the power to threaten members of the Legislative and Judicial branches, all "checks and balances" preventing the abuse of power have been destroyed.

Why isn't anyone losing their minds that Biden could now become a dictator or order assassinations? Because everyone knows he is a decent man who would never do such a thing.

However, if Donald Trump wins this election, there is literally nothing to stop him from fulfilling his heart's desire and becoming America's first dictator. He, and any future president, can now, legally, stage a military coup and hold on to power for life and his vice president would be the next to reign for the rest of their life. No more real elections.

Now, more than ever, Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to America.

In this election, not voting, is a dangerous choice.

For every time JD Vance says childless cat ladies are miserable I will watch the Lord of the Rings extended edition another time while petting a cat and drinking a glass of wine uninterrupted due to the lack of children before going back to work at my fulfilling political job the next day. I don’t think I’m the one projecting here, JD

does anyone know if Elon Musk was kicked outta art school?

A government comprised of millionaires and billionaires can never be for the people! Their wealth depends on exploitation and the impoverishment of others.

‘But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and learn to think for themselves; and once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.’

George Orwell, 1984

There’s a reason they ban books people and it’s not because they’re trying to protect the youth, they’re trying to protect themselves from what you might learn.

The government own this women’s embryos now and can do whatever they what with them. She thinks of them as (kinda) her kids but they are not hers anymore.

What could they do with her eggs?

It’s like a bad sci fi film.

Sanctioned by the GOP.

In light of police cybertrucks being made, I wanna let y'all know a completely unrelated fact about cybertrucks Did you know that they have an extremely exploitable wiring system in which cutting a single wire can cause the entire car to stop working in multiple places? And did you know that its description as having an exoskeleton is incorrect, as it's a standard hollow-frame truck design with no frame at all on the bottom? Anyways I forgot what I was talking about
