“BREAKING: A constitutional amendment has been filed allowing President Trump to seek a 3rd term in office.

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

It was filed by Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN).

Don’t let this slip by unnoticed. This is not just “one extra term”, it’s a warning shot. It’s a red flag. It’s an omen.

They are slowly turning up the heat in the pan. Do not be the frog who sits denying it’s getting hotter.

One extra term will become two, two will become three, and three will eventually give way to lifelong reign of each president.

Fight. Fight for God’s sake.

Contact your local representative of congress. Convince them we do not want this.

We are going to end up in a dictatorship.

ETA a new option:

so lion statues have a male and female lion pair, male lions have a ball to play with and lionesses have a little baby to take care of (lion patriarchy)

Lot of westerners don't know this so they accidentally draw Gay Lions

theyre bribing people to report undocumented immigrants for a reward of $1,000. this is clearly an excuse to detain people of color as there is no way to tell if someone is here legally based purely on the color of their skin. anyone found guilty will serve life imprisonment.

link to the bill

if youre from missouri please sign this petition.

I mean. Sign and share if you want, as i doubt it would hurt anything, but change.org petitions don't do much on their own, because US lawmakers have no legal requirement to pay any attention to them.

Per CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/23/us/do-online-petitions-work-trnd/index.html change.org petitions can help with getting the word out, and gaging interest in a subject, but it's hard to quantify any direct impact they have on the cause in question.

Pointing them at the change.org petition MIGHT help, but having their actual constituents ACTUALLY CONTACT THEM IN LARGE NUMBERS would probably help more. This is especially true if whomever started the petition has no plans to actually do anything to bring it to your lawmakers' attention.

PROBABLY what you SHOULD do is:

Contact the committee members for SB72 to request a second hearing, and then attend the hearing to dissent.

List of committee members: (individual links at the end) https://www.senate.mo.gov/Committees/CommitteeDetails/53

Call/Email your Missouri State representatives and tell them not to vote in favor of this, because if they do, you WILL vote them out of office.

Link to find your Missouri State Senator: https://www.senate.mo.gov/Senators

Link to find your Missouri State Representative: https://house.mo.gov/FrontPageMobile.aspx

Inform your neighbors and friends and family - try to get them to call/email as well.

DO NOT tell people who's potentially an immigrant, illegal or not.

DO NOT ask about people's country of origin. The less you know, the easier it is to tell the truth, which is that you don't know any illegal immigrants.

DO try to give people a heads up if you know a raid is coming.

Supplementary Info:

According to this link: https://www.senate.mo.gov/25info/BTS_Web/Actions.aspx?SessionType=R&BillID=523 this bill had its public hearing held on 1/27/2025, so the next step would be either be a second hearing, or PERFECTION (see details below).

It doesn't look like a final committee vote has been taken on this bill, and I can't find anything saying that Perfection is scheduled for this bill yet: https://www.senate.mo.gov/25info/bts_CommMinutes/MinutesRpt?CommitteeID=173

That means you MAY still be able to request a second hearing. But just in case, you should ALSO call your congresspeople and tell them to vote against SB72.

https://www.senate.mo.gov/bill-law.htm <- link to an explanation of how Missouri state bills become laws:

INTRODUCTION:

A Missouri State congress member must introduce the bill to Missouri State congress, where it undergoes its first reading.

The bill then gets assigned to the appropriate committee.

The bill then gets assigned to the appropriate committee, who does the second reading.

The committee holds a public hearing on the bill in question; sometimes there are multiple, for lengthy or controversial bills (This is the step that this bill is currently on!)

Committee makes suggestions for amendment, if any, OR can recommend a complete substitution.

Committee then either makes no recommendation for the bill (I THINK it dies in committee at this point) OR it gets recommended to be passed on for "perfection", with any recommendations or substitution

PERFECTION:

"Perfection", in which Missouri State Congress debates the bill, with proposed amendments if any, and makes changes until the bill it is in its perfected (i.e. passable) state

Congress debates the bill and proposes any other amendments/removal of amendments they want

A finalized version of the bill is decided on and passed along for the vote

FINAL PASSAGE OF THE BILL:

Bill scheduled for third reading and final passage.

On scheduled date, the bill is debated IN ITS FINAL FORM (no more amendments) and voted on

Bill requires "approval of a constitutional majority of elected members" (18 for the senate, and then 82 in the house) to pass

SIGNING OF THE BILL [INTO LAW]:

Final copy of the bill is sent to the Governor WITH ANY WRITTEN OBJECTIONS FROM ANY CONGRESSPERSON

GOVERNOR'S PART IN LAWMAKING:

Governor has 15 days to respond to bills when Congress is in active session; or, has 45 days if Congress is recessed or adjourned for 30 days.

Governor can choose to sign (or not sign) the bill into law

If he signs it into law, it's done.

If he vetoes it, it goes back to house of origin with his objections

If he doesn't respond within the prescribed amount of time, it becomes law automatically.

IF THE LAW GETS VETOED: it returns to the house of origin and a 2/3rds majority of members of both houses is required to pass it.

TL:DR: Call or email your congresspeople (Senators AND Representatives) and tell them to vote AGAINST SB72

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

From AOC on Bluesky. It says:

“Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

For US-based folks who use their phones a lot, one dip-your-toe action is getting connected to Resistbot and signing petitions there. It's free, though you can support their costs if you wish (and I do).

My heart is sick today as a figure-skating fan; signing two petitions insisting on better air safety and a thorough transparent investigation into the crash of American Eagle 5342 won't fix that, but it's a small thing I can do out of sorrow and respect for those killed.

I'm of the school of thought that believes that inviting people to take small actions at least sometimes leads to them feeling more comfortable taking larger ones. I know that's been true of me.

Now they could have done this silently and we wouldn't have known until the damage was done.

But these dipshits sent a team of Musk employees, not trump admin staff, to the Treasury offices where they forced their way in, threatened violence, and acted like a gang of mob enforcers from a movie. This set off alarms everywhere and has terrified a LOT of powerful people.
