Redistricting | Virginia votes for temporary Redistricting

[Icky Mettle]

Of who? In what court?

He’s referring to that indictment against the SPLC that’s aimed at doxxing informants and ending an organization that has kept tabs on and provided education about extremist groups.

 

[roostra]

Grand jury indictment.

There is no mention of any equipment being "bought and paid for" by SPLC informants for the Unite the Right rally. The only thing the informant is alleged to have done regarding the rally is coordinating transportation for several attendees. (Indictment 11a) Is it your contention that these people would not have attended the rally but for the action of Informant F-37? This is your big gotcha?

Wouldn't your arguments as to why SPLC's actions are bad apply to the Confidential Informant programs of virtually every decent-sized police department in America?

He hasn't read the indictment. His assertion is based on vibes. You know, like good lawyers do.

Yeah he was completely fine with all the election "fraud" cases Trump and his stooges brought over the 2020 election with zero evidence (and/or fabricated evidence)

hahahahahahahahahahahaha your brain is absolute hog slop.

The growth of Executive power has been a bipartisan issue since post WWII. “Pen and a phone.”

And gerrymandering did not remotely start with Virginia. That is the point. You have selective outrage.

I am against ALL use of Executive Authority unless expressly granted in the Constitution. I am against ALL gerrymandering.

You are against anything that harms your own current political positioning and unbothered by the same things when done by your chosen political figures.

I have been a member of the SPLC for many years, and find it laughable that the DOJ is insinuating that the SPLC has harmed donors as part of this indictment. I'm thinking about doubling my QCD donation next year .

For those too young to remember the SPLC is the organization that broke the KKK by filing civil lawsuits and winning massive monetary damages for victims of KKK violence. It has tracked and exposed white extremist groups for decades.

Make no mistake. The Trump directed DOJ is going after the SPLC because of its mission to expose and cripple white supremacist organizations. It is an effort to preserve its bigoted base now that far right bigots are unhappy and beginning to drift away. Trump and the GQP know that they desperately need the bigoted white supremacist vote in the midterms.

They’re not law enforcement, they’re grifters. Taking taxpayer money and funneling millions of dollars to hate groups to “prove” right wing terrorism exists in order to ask for more funds to fight….right wing extremists.

As I said a grand jury has indicted the group so we’ll see what happens.

ICE agents say what?

What's going to happen is that the case will quickly go nowhere thanks to the bogus nature of the allegations and the bumbling nature of the Trump DOJ. But I guess in the meantime it won't stop you from making up things like "all the tiki torch guys at Charlottesville were paid actors."

Now that at long last Trump's DOJ has managed to bring an indictment after having been unable to get an indictment outside Alabama to prosecute Trump's political enemies.

So yeah, we will see what happens... For the sake of the SPLC let's just hope it won't be the same type of jury that found the murderers of 4 little Alabama black children in 1963 by an all white jury. Hopefully the jury will have a few black jurors.

Civil rights groups condemn Southern Poverty Law Center's indictment and prepare for legal fights

The criminal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center this week was met with much outrage but little surprise from civil rights leaders, who have for more than a year prepared for heightened lega...

An event that led to one of the most powerful poems ever written:

Ballad of Birmingham​

By Dudley Randall

(On the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama, 1963)

“Mother dear, may I go downtown
Instead of out to play,
And march the streets of Birmingham
In a Freedom March today?”

“No, baby, no, you may not go,
For the dogs are fierce and wild,
And clubs and hoses, guns and jails
Aren’t good for a little child.”

“But, mother, I won’t be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free.”

“No, baby, no, you may not go,
For I fear those guns will fire.
But you may go to church instead
And sing in the children’s choir.”

She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair,
And bathed rose petal sweet,
And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,
And white shoes on her feet.

The mother smiled to know her child
Was in the sacred place,
But that smile was the last smile
To come upon her face.

For when she heard the explosion,
Her eyes grew wet and wild.
She raced through the streets of Birmingham
Calling for her child.

She clawed through bits of glass and brick,
Then lifted out a shoe.
“O, here’s the shoe my baby wore,
But, baby, where are you?”

Founders hated pure democracy where the mob rules with the power to vote themselves goodies or to vote to disenfranchise their neighbors.

You mean the Founders who viewed their neighbors as 60% of a human being?
