The United States Constitution, I believe, mandates the government of the United States to "guarantee a republican form of government" to each and every state. I would suggest that this entails: (1) state government defined by a constitutional compact with three branches of government, (2) legislative representation of the populace, and (3) conformance to the federal Constitution regarding rights and privileges of citizens.
What would "guarantee" mean? To me, it would have to mean judicial and executive nullification of any violation of the principles of a republican form of government, and possible dissolution of the state government in violation. "Guarantee" means that any breach of the U.S. Constitution on this subject will be recognized, admitted, and corrected in a tangible manner to make the injured parties whole.
California passed AB 2624, dubbed the Stop Nick Shirley Act. The measure exposes journalists to civil liability including injunctions, attorney fees and minimum $4,000 damages when they investigate fraud at immigration support services, NGOs, nonprofits and health care facilities that receive hundreds of millions in state funds.
Attorney General Rob Bonta's wife Mia Bonta authored the bill, raising direct conflict of interest concerns. The legislation would criminalize exposure of operations such as fake hospices in LA or questionable learning centers if operators claim reasonable fear and issue written demands.
California has been secularist, occultist and socialist/Communist for decades, the public government schools having ruined the minds of too many, migrants brought in with no understanding or allegiance to the Constitution
there are pockets of great people, some say Trump won in 2024, but there’s millions of illegal people in Calif., and many “legal migrants” who simply are not cut out for living in a Constitutional Republic — too many want the technocracy/socialist democracy
I lived in Santa Barbara county for several years in the late 1970s and became friendly with families who had lived there all their lives. They were all "conservative" in basic outlook and demeanor. Those county residents who had taken up the popular "California lifestyle" of pot and casual nudity were identified as being "imports" from eastern states (e.g., Michigan). The legal latinos were conservative in behavior (I lived in such a neighborhood; Sundays were marked by guys washing their cars outside and radios playing mariachi music). They were decent people. I felt at ease among them.
I would say that the big Blue problem in California is with those who do not have long family residence there, but came from Eastern and Midwestern states in order to enjoy the "lifestyle." They are probably all well-to-do and have no inkling of the social costs of their favored policies (or no concern for any costs). They probably do not go to church.
I agree about displacing all illegals, but be mindful of the fact that the legals are more churchgoing and more inclined to be law-abiding than perhaps most anglo Democrats. Trump picked up a great deal of support from latinos; it would be foolish to throw that away.
agree with you that not all Latinos should be forced to go, and appreciate some Latinos neighbors too, was taught Spanish and still remember 1st year Sp.
Actually, it was a wonderful place where to live. Beautiful countryside. Excellent horse-riding country (rolling hills dotted with oak trees...though I never rode when I was there). Even Los Angeles was un-intimidating (never worry about missing your exit, there was always another). That's where I learned to enjoy Mexican food and appreciate that every restaurant had its own salsa recipe. I had gotten so adapted to the road-based culture, I thought little of driving into Hollywood for an evening visit with friends and driving back. The only strange thing was the reaction of the locals to seeing a single cloud in the sky: like a portent of doom. (I came from Puget Sound, where if there were no clouds in the sky, you would wonder if you were on the correct planet.) The roadside gutters were frightening, being very deep for the infrequent massive downpours, feeding drains that could easily swallow a foundering child. The smell of eucalyptus trees was always in the air. To get off an airplane and smell that aroma would bring back a gust of memory.
What has happened to California since then is worse than a crime; it is a sin. And a curse.
Citizen journalists should and absolutely will openly violate this so-called "law", because any law repugnant to the US Constitution is automatically void, without force or effect.

YEP, ITS the "Disclosure Phase", designed to wake up the sleeping sheep.
So, guess which legislators are getting kickbacks from the fraud? Everyone who voted for it.

Interesting life Santa Barbara story

Deputize Nick Shirley for the Vance Fraud Squad. Make him untouchable by CA crooks.
Sounds like DOJ needs to step up to the plate on this one.
Well i think the freedom of rhe press may trump that stupidity.
So they passed a law. Big deal.

Yes. Stop noticing. And by all means don't look into stuff.
