Court: Speak up if you want to remain silent
Ladywriter replied to Ladywriter's topic in News Column
This Supreme Court is a sac of bastards that couldn't possibly give a fuck less about the American people. They are so pro corporate they should have logos tattooed on their fucking foreheads. This be specific bullshit is just another way to railroad the young, uninformed and impaired into the prison industry. Not everyone knows what to do when they have the silver bracelets slapped on, most people get scared, and now it will be okay for law enforcement to take full advantage of a suspect. Lemme give ya a scenario. Its a Friday nite, ya meet yer friends for a drink and end up downing a six pack. Somebody gets rowdy in the bar and a fight starts, cops are called, people are getting cuffed and stuffed. How many drunk people will remember to specifically tell the cop they are going to exercise their right to remain silent? Everything the drunk guy says from "Bob is an asshole" to "punch a fish in the face" will be used against him and his buddies in court when they're arraigned. It will be right in front of the judge. What the drunk says could bump a charge from disorderly to assault increasing fines and jail time. This is going to hit young people and those that have minimal contact with police the hardest. A fresh crop of 'criminals' to feed to the prison industrial complex. I loathe this Supreme Court and am greatly looking forward to watching these old miserable fucks die off one by one..... -

BP continues to stonewall the American people about the growing Deep Horizon disaster in the Gulf, even while the company reaps millions of dollars in profits each day from its other federal leases. The White House, the Department of Interior, and Congress are all crying foul, but they are not taking action to hold BP accountable. If the Obama administration is serious about making BP pay, there is a very simple and powerful tool at its disposal: the EPA can take away BP's billions in federal contracts. Ask EPA Administration Lisa Jackson to impose "discretionary debarment" and strip BP of all federal contracts. Click here to automatically sign our petition. http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=5586&id=9308-1999172-pmSTkLx&t=24 The Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to bar BP from receiving U.S. government contracts. Suspension of BP contracts would mean the loss of billions of dollars and effectively stop the company from drilling in federally controlled oil fields both on and offshore. This is the strongest possible action that could be taken against BP.

If I'm pulled over driving my car for being blond and suspicious I have to give the cop my drivers license, proof of registration and insurance and he checks the window sticker for up to date inspection. There's no reason for me to carry more shit with my pic and info on it when I just handed buddy 3 different things with my address on it. If I plan to leave the country I'll get a passport and ta-da more ID. For non drivers and minors they can get a photo sheriffs ID. The 5-0 needs a reason for askin me to produce my ID if I'm not driving. I have to be either victim criminal or witness of a crime for him to bust my chops. I don't see why we need a national ID card. It would just be another $thing$ to renew every few years. I can see where a nat id would work in a coalition of nations where theres a lot of travel between, but look at it this way dude. Texas is bigger then France and Alaska is about 2x the size of Texas. England covers 50,346 square miles, My state covers 54,475 square miles. Every state offers various forms of ID which is recognized in other states. I could drive anywhere with my NYS drivers license; if I move I can transfer all my ID to my new address even in another state.... for a fee of course To me a nat ID card is just another fuckin thing to renew pay for carry around. If the gov busted out with 'every dime raised on a nat id card is going into infrastructure spending' I might reconsider my position... There was a big ol fuss n stink around here not too long ago over showing a passport at the border. There's a lot of back and forth between NY and Canada and ppl used to going back n forth with just a drivers lic pissed and moaned about having to take the time and spend the money to go get passports. Conspiracy theories have ppl freaked out about a nat ID to.... -

Ladywriter replied to Ladywriter's topic in Take Action
the fed can't sit on their hands any longer. The push against illegals should show them how desperate we are to have this problem addressed. Our National Guard should be protecting our border not Afghanistan's border esp if some folks consider us to be under invasion. They can be retrained for border patrol and INS jobs. Active duty in our country not someplace else. Border patrol IS a homeland security issue, money and manpower need to come out of the military. They need to stop sending our national guard away to fight these bullshitty wars. if the regular full time army navy air force and marines cant collectively handle the job them maybe we shouldn't be there -

its a natural human response to fear or mistrust that which is different or unknown ~like an integrated society where white doesn't necessarily mean dominant or an energy policy where traditional fuels are disregarded..... Its a normal response but our reasoning skills are supposed to compensate for that. Unfortunately the undereducated and bitter don't always balance it out and we end up with paranoid racists voting in tea baggin types who put garbage laws like this bad joke into play. Its annoying to hear baggers carry on about the American Revolutionary War, the way they talk you'd think they were there personally. They'll piss and moan how we fought for our freedoms and then distort history to serve their needs. ex: War on Drugs vs George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper. And no America is not a Christian nation, our founders believed in separation of church and state. This country already had a population of native Americans before Europeans arrived with diseases that killed about 10 million. Whitey proceeded to swindle, murder and repress the locals until we are where we are today with small reservations for America's real people scattered here and there. The real true original skin color of this country aint pale beige, deal with it. These same people dismiss slavery with a wave of their hand. They have no interest in acknowledging the vital role slavery played in the agricultural and economic development of this country. Rather then recognize they'd rather just hate and fear black people all the while ignoring that it was the whites in this country with their segregation laws that clumped the minorities into communities and our not so fab hippie ancestry moved into the poor communities where blacks lived and they brought all of their drugs with them. If you're hired "under the table" there is no record of your employment, neither you nor your employer pay any tax on the wage you're paid. Rather then hating the dude working the shitty job so he can feed his family why not hate the tax cheating asshole that hired him? When I weed the garden I don't just pull off the top of the offending plant, I dig it out at the root. Fraud is rampant everywhere; taxes welfare insurance banking etc. Its not just one color of people doing it. Wanna complain about supporting "welfare queens" that keep spitting out kids like pez, look at octomom or John and Kate (who would be on max welfare if she didn't have a show). More and more whitey religious nutters are pumping out big families to try to promote their white christian agenda. More and more they're getting help from the taxpayers. We aren't interested in letting children starve in this country so we have food stamps WIC and free school lunch programs; humanitarian aid. We don't go for the 'sins of the parents throw their children under the bus' mentality. You don't deny any child a meal or antibiotics because mom and dad don't have their shit together. Makes me wonder if any of these baggin fucks know their own personal family histories. Just how far back in the past did their family become Americans? On my moms side I'm a 3rd generation American. My maternal great grandparents came here from Italy during the WW1 era. My dad's side has been here longer and there is native American in his gene pool. You can see the English in him but when that man gets a tan he looks like he just walked off the rez. Without immigration I would not exists. This applies to pretty much everyone here in the states. -

okay.... what is happening in Az needs to stay there. replacing Jim Crow for Juan Crow is totally unacceptable in a "free" country where people's rights are supposed to be respected. yes, I understand that there is crime and that the illegal community is a part of that. People have been fleeing Mexico because of the drug cartel wars for decades. Business owners hire the undocumented as cheap labor that they don't have to insure let alone put on the books. Lets shimmy down the stripper pole and look at the source.... Our retarded drug policies, this stupid expensive violent War on Drugs has played soccer with a hornets nest since its conception. So long as a substance or weapons or whatever is illegal to possess or sell here in the US there will be a black market for for the shit. We literally pass on billions of dollars in revenue and choose debt instead to keep marijuana illegal. That is mutherfuckin retarded. Prohibition DOES NOT WORK it just creates an atmosphere of paranoia and violence. Much like our aggressive military actions (oh... say carpet bombings) send refugees fleeing their country to ours, its the same fuckin thing w this war on drugs and Mexico. Recognize this is a war the US chooses to fight and yes there are casualties and lives destroyed. Shoot the dog in front of the kid over a little bit of marijuana. Yeah that's fucking great. If weed was legal/taxable and substance was decriminalized enough to let everyone have a lil bit, we wouldn't have people being killed in the fuckin border towns as the cartels and gangs fight over black market distribution territory. We taxpayers wouldn't have a giant fuckin bill for prohibition enforcement. The number of our own citizens we throw in jail would sharply decrease, saving the taxpayers another dime. The prison industrial complex won't like that but tuff shit yo. Throw a substance abuser in jail and chances are they'll come out a real criminal. More court, more of our money being wasted cuz we criminalize the addicted instead of helping them. Give me a fucking break. And seriously, don't the police have enough to do? Now you expect them to do border patrol and immigration's jobs too? You gonna give the cops a raise? If Border Patrol or INS needs more people where you are then fucking hire them. Don't push their bullshit off on another department that already has its hands full. You really wanna have to wait for a cop after you've had a bad accident cuz he's checkin ppls papers? Fuck no. The police are there for the people of Az. Let the agencies created to deal with illegal entry and residency do their fucking jobs. The ppl down there need to take their anger and put it where it belongs, on the departments not doing a good job. If they need more money and people, find a way. We're all willing to make PBO do something about the border and immigration, but not this. Show me your papers is not America. -
Dear ACLU Supporter, A lot of people are outraged about Arizona's new racial profiling, "show me your papers" law. And today, the ACLU is taking action. Just a few hours ago, we went to federal court to block this discriminatory law from taking effect. In the coming days and weeks, ACLU legal teams and advocates will go all-out to stop this poisonous policy from taking hold in Arizona. But right now, we need to know: will you stand with us? http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=1tRMwG-f5d6R9k3w64h9cw.. Racial profiling is a deeply-offensive affront to the American values of justice and fairness. And using race to demand that people produce "papers" to prove who they are is a police-state tactic that is completely unacceptable in America. If we don't stop this law now, similar ones could spread across the nation. Already, state lawmakers in at least 10 other states have promised to bring similar bills to their legislatures. That's why we're taking Arizona to court, along with our partners the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the National Immigration Law Center, and a number of other civil rights groups. Can we count you in to fight with us as we take on this dangerous law? Stand with the ACLU in opposition of Arizona's racial profiling law. To help you show your public support for reversing this law, we'll send you a free bumper sticker. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=HVj6yitBaNQFh--UdhQRhw.. Under the new law, Arizona police will be required to ask people they stop for their citizenship papers based on "reasonable suspicion" that they are in the country unlawfully. And by leaving "reasonable suspicion" undefined, the law leaves police officers little choice but to act on appearance and language, inviting a new wave of rampant racial profiling. Today, our lawyers took the first legal step to stop this law. And we'll be organizing on the ground in Arizona, training volunteer lawyers to help people defend themselves against racial profiling. We won't stand by while this law transforms Arizona into a place where anyone can be forced to "show papers" when they are stopped by police just because of how they look or talk or dress. Stop the racial profiling law today -- join the fight and get your free bumper sticker. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=tR1mMK78vvaOly49Hog2hQ.. Racial profiling is unconstitutional, unacceptable and un-American. But, we'll only stop extremism and injustice by acting together to end them. We need you on board. Can we count you in? For justice, Anthony D. Romero Executive Director ACLU
