BREAKING: lawmakers moved to another location from the California State Capitol after a “credible threat”
While there are no details, it needs to be said:
Attacking our infrastructure, undermining our democracy, giving away state secrets, openly attacking our lawmakers and the rule of law?
The right-wing in america is comprised of domestic terrorists.
In Texas, Daniel Perry—a white man—posted "he might kill a few people," drove his car past a red light & into a previously peaceful BLM march, shot & killed a protestor, was duly charged, unanimously convicted—& TX Gov Abbott is pardoning him.😳
Texas is announcing to the world that in their view, murdering people for exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protesting racism is OK.
This isn't democracy. It's fascism. This sets a literally deadly precedent for the future.
The incredible Mary Quant has left the planet. God bless Mary Quant.
