Weekly roundup for February 12, 2022
This past week, the Supreme Court stayed an injunction from a lower panel, allowing Alabama to proceed with its racially gerrymandered districts for the 2022 midterms. Also, a trucker protest in Ottawa has brought the capital city of Canada to a halt.
At first glance, neither of these stories appear directly related to California issues or California independence. However, each of them has implications we need to consider as we define our movement.
