Springfield, Ohio, sues neo-Nazi group that it says led Haitian intimidation

An Ohio city that was racked with chaos and threats last year related to an influx of Haitian immigrants filed a lawsuit on Thursday against a neo-Nazi group that it alleges was at the heart of the onslaught.

The city of Springfield, Mayor Rob Rue and several others sued the Blood Tribe, leaders Christopher Pohlhaus and Drake Berentz and seven unnamed followers in U.S. District Court in Dayton.

They accuse the group of “engaging in, and inciting, a campaign of harassment and intimidation, motivated by ethnic and racial hatred, against those who supported Springfield’s Haitian community in the face of Defendants’ racist attacks.”

Saving Democracy/Resistance:

Now Here's A Democrat With Some Balls! Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ), told Meet The Press today that he & other Senators are not planning on giving the Republicans & Drumpf the votes they need to keep the government from a shutdown. They want clear concrete concessions. Now that's the way it's done!

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

The Fascist Felon and His Brownshirts:

Bondi's Justice Department looks poised to prosecute blue state doctors who mail abortion pills into red states, probably under the Comstock Act. She's also very likely to restrict access to medication abortion WITHIN blue states by declaring that *all* mailing of abortion pills is unlawful.

It would be nice if someone who has sworn to defend and uphold the Constitution actually understood it. Checks and balances, man. Checks and balances.
