Chuck DarwinFor decades, the right has targeted the protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act,
most visibly via court decisions,
as well as spurious voter roll #purges and #gerrymandering efforts,
which warp territorial districting law to divide opponents and consolidate supporters.
One of the most reliable methods of suppression, though,
is to tighten #voter #identification rules.
Requiring #citizenship #paperwork, which many (fully eligible) citizens do not possess,
leads to the emergence of a racially inflected pattern of #vote #suppression.
If you make voting as inconvenient and costly as possible,
by default, some percentage of those who are short on money and time
— people of color, students, low-income workers and others who juggle lots of obligations with few resources
— will decide that getting to the polls just isn’t worth it.
Maximizing this effect is the primary motive driving the rampant right-wing infringements on democratic participation,
Trump’s latest order included.
To justify these measures, the executive order
👉purports to combat large-scale voter fraud:
⚠️the familiar right-wing myth that millions of illicit votes are cast in the U.S., in numbers that could throw a presidential election.
(The real nationwide illegal vote count is a few hundred, at most
-- of those, quite a few were Trump voters.)
The type of voter fraud claimed by the right is so vanishingly rare as to be an utterly negligible force in U.S. politics.
If anything can be said to constitute actual substantive electoral fraud,
it is the right’s systematic and wildly successful campaign to #obstruct voting rights.
Trump’s order,
while perhaps the most aggressive foray into voter suppression of late,
is far from the only effort to impair democracy.
🔥Right now the SAVE Act is making its way through Congress;
the Republican-sponsored legislation would alter registration procedures
and demand proof of citizenship documents like
a passport, birth certificate or naturalization certification.
(As NPR reported, researchers have found that
👉 1 in 10 voting-eligible Americans don’t possess these documents.)❗️
There’s notable overlap between the two efforts
— the administration seems to be hedging its bets.
“A lot of [the executive order] tracks pretty closely with what’s in the SAVE Act,”
said Diaz.
Should the SAVE Act fail, the executive order may
allow “the White House to get around the congressional lawmaking process
-- and do whatever they want.”

Protesters in cities across the US rally against Trump's policies, Project 2025 and Elon Musk
Demonstrators have gathered in cities across the U.S. to protest the Trump administration’s early actions. They're decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Protesters in Philadelphia and at state capitols in Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana and beyond on Wednesday waved signs denouncing President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk and the hard-right playbook for American government and society called Project 2025. The protests were a result of a movement that has organized online under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day.

Democrats: When We Said Fight, We Meant Fight
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are staging a coup, trying to illegally eliminate agencies, seize control of payment systems, and gain access to sensitive data on all Americans without any oversight. As long as they are ignoring the Constitution and trying to unsurp the powers of Congress, NO Democrat should be cooperating with any part of Trump's agenda. And yet 22 Senate Democrats voted on February 4th to confirm Doug Collins—one of Trump's loyalists—as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This is not resistance. This is complicity.

DoomsdaysCW#Maine Law Firm Tells #PublicSchools to #ResistICE Enforcement by Destroying #Immigration Records
By Steve Robinson January 26, 2025
"A leading progressive law firm in Maine is advising public school officials on how they can effectively resist potential immigration enforcement actions that may involve the families of minors who attend government-run schools, including by destroying evidence of potential immigration crimes.
"The advice may place school officials in the legal crosshairs of the Trump Administration under a new policy advisory distributed by the U.S. Department of Justice, which warns state and local officials not to interfere with federal law enforcement activities.
"'[S]chool officials should generate a plan for what to do if immigration officials seek to conduct activities at school, and provide appropriate training to those who may come in contact with officials,' law firm Drummond Woodsum warned in an 'Immigration Client Alert' distributed on Jan. 21.
"A copy of that advisory email was obtained by the Maine Wire and is published [at the link] in full.
"The memo advises clients who may have evidence that a student and that student’s parents or guardians are not U.S. citizens or are present in the U.S. without authorization.
"According to Drummond Woodsum, school officials should destroy those records or stop collecting them so as to #obstruct or prevent federal immigration officials from enforcing American immigration law.
"Schools may have collected data on students’ #USCitizenship, #nationality, #CountryOfBirth, #USEntryDate, the date a student first attended school, or the #ImmigrationStatus of the student or their parents or guardians, the memo states.
“'[T]his information should not be stored as part of a students education record and should be destroyed as soon as it is no longer needed,' the memo states."

Nonilex#DOJ releases #Trump special counsel report on #Jan6 case
If Donald Trump hadn’t won the presidential election in November, the Justice Department …had ample evidence to #convict him at trial of trying to #obstruct the #2020election results, special counsel #JackSmith said in a report released early Tuesday morning.

“…the defendant also poses a significant risk of #ObstructingJustice. …the defendant has attempted to #bribe security staff & threatened & interfered w/ #witnesses to his #criminal conduct. He has already tried to #obstruct the Govt’s investigation…,repeatedly contacting victims & #witnesses & feeding them false narratives of events….There are simply no conditions that would ensure that the defendant’s efforts to obstruct & tamper w/witnesses will stop.“
