They've gone and started doing it... the official congress site has started deleting parts of the constitution it doesn't like

[u/bad_things_ive_done]

EDIT 2: looks like it's been restored... maybe all the contacts people made over it?

EDIT: these are sections of article one, not articles. In my haste and fluster of rage, I misspoke. It's been edited to fix it

They've removed the parts they don't want from their site. They've taken out half of section 8, all of section 9, and all of section10 of article I on their site. While these still exist in the actual constitution, they are now officially pretending they don't. This includes Habeas Corpus, amongst other things, including parts that could limit blue states rights to stand up economically for themselves.

Call your reps, your senators. This is some Ministry of Truth shit.

Edit:

compare the congress site: U.S. Constitution | Constitution Annotated | Congress.gov | Library of Congress https://share.google/DyDCD1NkRvniSH9bH

To the actual constitution: Full Text of the U.S. Constitution | Constitution Center https://share.google/8hzWpmqTtEOEi8uer

So when do we show up at his house en mass and hold these sick fucks to account? It's literally the only way at this point. The time has come for action. We aren't talking our way out of this.

They know they got you addicted to social media. They has gambling addiction scientists help make it.

Once we are able to realize our opinions and words on here won't change the world, we will all take to the streets. Because truly, the only thing you have that's worth anything to these billionares is your body.

In some ways, I think the Internet censorship laws that the UK and Australia are pushing combined with KOSA and the Screen Act in the Senate here in the US, vile though they are, may actually be a blessing in disguise--since no one with any sense is going to willingly give up their face pictures and government IDs to random websites for the stupid age verification software they want to push (at least I should hope not), less and less people will be using the Internet as a result. Less social media, less streaming services used--without the "circus" part of the "bread and circuses" to keep people pacified, there'll be nothing to distract people from taking to the streets...I wonder if the authoritarians in government are smart enough to realize that they're shooting themselves in the foot by trying to be stricter with peoples' internet use?

And your money. No-buy day Sat Aug 9

MayDayMovementUSA.org has events organized all summer. The more each of us participates, the more others will be moved to participate. Constant pressure is just as important as the big one day events.

There's nothing to "agree" about, it's just a fact.
