That would be wonderful if it were true.
The state is the collection of the most rich and powerful, exerting their control over the people. No where is a real democracy, where people rule directly. It’s always the rich and powerful with the influence, while we beg for scraps.
Democritus studied under Leucippus, history is conflicted as to which of the two invented the concept but he was potentially the first (and if not certainly most influential) to carry the idea of atomos.
If only things given by the state couldn’t be taken away by the state.
The solution won’t come from the law, the lawmakers are part of the ruling class who benefit from this.

We must work to give everyone a quality life. It is not naturally handed to us at birth, if we do not put in the effort no one will get it.
Minnesota hasn’t handled it well at all, ICE are still out there abducting people off the streets.
“As far as Homan’s announcement of a drawdown, there’s no difference,” said Alex Falconer, a Democratic state representative for Minnetonka and Eden Prairie. “In fact, it’s become a little worse.”

Or they could focus on defending themselves from invasion, not surrender, and Americans could rise up against their fascist rulers.

23·16 days agoCuban gays took the opportunity to leave Cuba during the 1980 Mariel boatlift. From the early stages of the massive exodus, the Government described homosexuals as part of the “scum” that needed to be discarded so the socialist society could be purified.[36] Some homosexuals were given the ultimatum of either imprisonment (or extended terms for those already imprisoned) or leaving the country, although Fidel Castro publicly denied that anyone was being forced to leave.[23]
And yet they did.
GOAT quote
How is it American exceptionalism to do something first?
It is Euro arrogance to expect the world to change to suit your choice at a later date.
And I’m talking about Labour Day, the day to recognise labour movements and their achievements.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day
Loyalty Day is not a holiday, Labour Day is and Americans celebrate it. It predates May Day, which is why they don’t celebrate May Day.
What?
It’s an official holiday, that’s state recognition of it to celebrate it, not make it unamerican.
And it was first made an official holiday before Europe made May Day a holiday. Based on a date chosen by unions.
You’re complaining that workers celebrated an event before Europe and didn’t retroactively follow your date. What eurocentric anti-worker shit is that?
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. “Labor Day” was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.

The unions chose the date, the state followed years and years later.

Hell no, cops should not be able to withhold camera footage but the other side 100% should have the right to their privacy if they don’t wish it public.
Imagine the cops come to your house for something you’re not guilty off, record your house and your life and publish it out there for everyone to see. That could lead to people getting killed because they get outed as LGBT to their family for example.
