Recording and Documenting Police and Federal Agents The First Amendment protects your right to take photos and videos of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public. This applies to ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and any other government officials. If you're not under arrest, a law enforcement officer needs a warrant to confiscate your device or to view its contents without your consent.

The First Amendment fully protects our right to record ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and other government officials performing their duties in public.

Know your rights while filming, how to protect your digital privacy, and what to do if you're stopped or arrested for recording.

At a meeting today with staffers for Senators Markey and Warren, the staffers made two concrete asks:

1. Please call or email and share your stories about how the current administration’s actions are hurting or will hurt you personally. The Senators can use these human stories to persuade those /1

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?

Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Muskβ€”or any presidentβ€”fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

Restore democratic checks on Musk's alarming government overreach The rapid consolidation of power by Elon Musk within the federal government raises serious concerns about the integrity of government processes and the separation of powers. Granting a private individual unilateral authority to dismantle agencies, access sensitive data systems, and terminate government leases without congressional oversight undermines democratic principles and accountability. The reported actions, such as Musk's team gaining access to the U.S. Treasury payment system handling trillions of dollars and locking out USAID employees, constitute an alarming overreach. This centralization of control by an unelected individual with private business interests poses risks of conflicts of interest, abuse of power, and violation of laws designed to protect government impartiality. We urge you to take immediate action to reinstate proper oversight and checks on executive authority. Restoring the traditional division of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches is crucial to preserving the rule of law and preventing further erosion of democratic governance. The American people deserve a government that operates transparently, ethically, and in service of the public good – not the personal agenda of any individual, no matter how wealthy or influential. A: The rapid expansion of Elon Musk's authority within the federal government is deeply concerning. Granting sweeping, unchecked power to a private individual with immense personal wealth and business interests jeopardizes democratic principles of accountability and separation of powers. His reported actions, such as gaining access to the Treasury payment system and dismantling USAID without congressional approval, constitute a dangerous centralization of control. Restoring proper oversight by rebalancing executive, legislative, and judicial authorities is imperative to uphold the rule of law and ethical governance. The American people deserve a government that serves the public good transparently, not the agenda of any individual, wealthy or not. Immediate steps must be taken to reinstate checks on executive overreach and prevent further erosion of our democratic institutions. The consolidation of Musk's unilateral decision-making power over vital government functions and data cannot be allowed to continue unchallenged.

andrew johnson was impeached for violation of the tenure of office act. in the scheme of things, was that a huge deal? not really. the actual issue was that johnson was trying to scuttle any attempt to reconstruct the former confederate states on an egalitarian basis and *that* was intolerable

Wyoming Republicans’ anti-abortion bill inadvertently targets chemotherapy and surgeries Senate File 125 could limit access to any treatment that β€˜causes harm’ to the heart, lungs, brain and other organs

The Guardian reports that a new Republican bill seeking to restrict abortion could make it impossible for people to get routine surgeries or even chemotherapy.

Okay but the issue is no local activist groups are promoting it. There’s a protest scheduled later this week around ICE by local groups. This feels like folks in another state saying β€œshow up” with no one actually in Indiana part of this.

They can’t verify there are ANY on the ground organizers involved, at least in Indianapolis. No one is taking credit. If this isn’t a nefarious attempt it is at least a very stupid and possibly dangerous one to send a crowd of ppl out with no actual purpose beyond yell a lot.

Hoosiers, you still have time to call Sen. Young's offices to ask him to vote unfavorable. Script below, with alt-text.

A Constitutional Convention is a BAD idea. SB450 sets Indiana limits for a convention, no quarantee convention rules wouldn't override them. There are no defined processes for a Constitutional Convention.
