Ford government has introduced a bill that would allow #CivilForfeiture in #Ontario. https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-44/session-1/bill-10#BK10
Civil Forfeiture allows the police to steal your property and force you to prove that you didn't commit a crime. It is an affront to #DueProcess of law.

“Seventeen states are suing President Trump’s administration for withholding billions of dollars in funding for the build-out of electric vehicle chargers”

This week, North Carolina votes counted. Voter suppression didn’t work. The federal court decision is solid & unlikely to be reversed on appeal. The League brought this case to stand up for voters unfairly targeted after following the rules. We celebrate #Democracy #RuleOfLaw
"Critics of the Trump administration have called this state of affairs a constitutional crisis. I have come to think of it more like a constitutional collapse: long vacant, the vestiges of the US’s democracy are crumbling to the ground, falling like an empty tent. We don’t yet know what, exactly, will be erected in its place."

WILL NOT COMPLY The reich-wing administration has criticized #Germany's decision to ban #afd the far-right party, after a deep review of their activities.
According to columnist Heather Cox Richardson, Germany's Foreign Office responded thusly:
This is #democracy. The decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our #Constitution & the #ruleoflaw. It is independent #courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that #rightwing #extremism needs to be stopped.
[Hashtags added by me.]
Our Founders believed in freedom of #speech, but were alert to the threat of #populism. Some of their attempts to mitigate that threat through representation government worked out reasonably well — separation of powers, the House of Representatives — while others — the Senate, the Electoral College — developed largely as sops to smaller states or slave states, have not.

Jennifer Rubin at The Contrarian explains how Judge Beryl Howell (DC Circuit) threw the book at the Trump regime in her summary judgment overturning the EO against the law firm Perkins Coie.
Rubin also chides the media for failing to point out consistently that EO’s are NOT laws and that most of Trump’s weird pronouncements will turn out to be just so much hot air.
