"Feds arrested more registered Republicans than Democrats in Monday’s voter fraud sweep ..." ~ LA Material Magazine exclusive

"Election fraud" = 28 arrests ÷ 23 million registered CA voters = 1 10-thousandth of 1% of people on CA's voter rolls.

None of the arrested has been proven guilty.

Feds arrested more registered Republicans than Democrats in Monday’s voter fraud sweep in L.A., according to an L.A. Material review of voting records.

Subject line: Dispatch from the 'liberal cesspool'

Subhead: Vote! Vote! Vote!

Headline: SHE MAY AS WELL HAVE CALLED IT 'LAMEBRIA'

CAMBRIA, Calif. – We report to you from the “liberal cesspool” of Cambria, the snug tourist burg by the sea whose occupants and visitors have argued for decades over whether to call it “Cam-bria” or “Came-bria.”

We’re happy to report the dispute has been settled and we can now call it by its official name: Liberal Cesspool.

Apparently, the now-fired, disgraced, impossible-to-humiliate White House press secretary Katie Zacharia attended Coast Union High School in Cambria as a youth when her name was Katie Black, reports the SLO County Tribune.

In an interview with a right-wing TV network, she described Cambria as a “‘liberal cesspool’ – boring, not nearly conservative enough for her and suffering from a ‘huge drug population.’”

Meanwhile, in the real world, ICE is rampaging through SLO County, indiscriminately roughing up brown people and hauling them off to modern-day concentration camps in a heavily armed, masked, violent authoritarian sweep that would make Putin proud.

In a Facebook post yesterday (Thursday), Arroyo Grande City Councilmember Jamie Maraviglia described it thusly:

“ICE took workers at a private business just a block away from my house today. Masked men chased someone along a busy street and tackled them to the ground while community members watched. …

“I am angry that this is happening in our community. I am angry that federal agents can carry out an operation like this in the middle of a busy street, leaving community members to watch in fear and confusion. I am furious that people feel unsafe in the very places where they live, work and raise their families. We are all human beings, deserving of dignity and compassion, regardless of our immigration status.”

The election is 18 days away. Our vote is our power. We can flex that power by voting in such large numbers that no one will be able to question the integrity of a mass populist repudiation of this tyranny brought to us by the Republican Party.

And let's be clear: Republicans voted for and largely support this dystopian nightmare happening in the streets of Arroyo Grande and around the world.

Simply put: A vote for any Republican is a vote for Trump and his thoroughly corrupt, lawless, traitorous regime.

If you haven’t voted yet, please do it now. Vote your values.

Subject line: Flexing on local ICE enablers

Headline: REPUBLICANS ARE COOL WITH THIS

Subhead: Let’s vote them out. Our vote is our power.

This is an image taken last Monday of an ICE jackboot in Santa Maria who, in his zeal to kidnap another brown person, forgot to put his car into “park” before exiting the vehicle.

Here he is trying unsuccessfully to prevent it from ramming a parked car. Rather than leaving a note on the damaged parked car, as required by law, this “law enforcement officer” left the scene – a hit-and-run crime caught on camera.

He will face no repercussions, of course. As there will be none for the trigger-happy ICE monster in NYC who fired seven rounds Thursday into a moving car with a 5-year-old in the back seat – in a crowded neighborhood, with people all around as school was letting out.

Lawlessness is what we’ve come to expect from this armed gang of masked thugs that literally gets away with murder without so much as a shrug from the Trump regime.

This week and for the next 40-plus days – up to and including Election Day – SLO County and the rest of the state from San Diego to San Francisco are being invaded by ICE in a renewed "surge" to kidnap more brown people.

Cynically coined "Operation Safe California," this is how Trump and the Republican Party plan to demonstrate who's boss.

Voting continues until Election Day on Nov. 3.

So, let's remember who's solely responsible for all this lawlessness and unnecessary mayhem taking place in our communities:

Republicans did this. They voted for it. And they say and do nothing to stop it.

Now, in this important election, it's on us to stop it by voting them out – top to bottom, root and branch, at every level – especially the book burners running for local school boards.

Fill out your ballots and turn them in now.

Our vote is our power. It's time to flex.

VOTE YOUR VALUES

Please vote early to assure your vote is counted, and to avoid any roadblock the haters of democracy running our federal government may put in our way.

Put your ballot into a drop box for the most direct, secure way to assure your vote is counted.

Find a link to your nearest drop box location in the first comment.

If you must vote by mail, be sure to personally have it hand postmarked well in advance of the Nov. 3 election, at least 10 days. In the recent June primary, more than 3,000 ballots were rejected in SLO County due to delays caused by the U.S. Postal Service.

We can’t trust this storied institution, sorry to say, while it’s under control of the abjectly corrupt administration that's telegraphed its intention to interfere in this election.

So, use a drop box if you can.
