The right kept their eye on the Supreme Court prize for 50 years. They waited that long to get a majority that would do whatever they wanted. Unfortunately, it paid off.

At least some of the left doesn’t seem to be nearly as focused on the Supreme Court as the right was. These are lifetime appointments and there is no quick fix. We have to wait it out and keep our eye on the prize, like the right did.

Blocking any further right-wing appointments to #scotus is just about the most important thing we need to do as citizens. Guarding appointments to the court - #potus and #senate - are the keys.

Georgia GOP Official Voted Illegally Nine Times. Fucking GOP.

“A judge ruled Wednesday that the Georgia Republican Party’s first vice chairman, Brian Pritchard, violated state election laws when he voted nine times while serving probation for a felony check forgery sentence,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

If Pritchard was a nonwhite person, he would be in jail. Unfortunately he was only fined $5k, basically a slap on the wrist.

By refusing to tax corporations, and refusing to raise the cap on income that is taxable for Social Security, the republicans are purposefully trying to bankrupt the US.

Corporate taxes should be at least as much as individual income taxes, if not moreso.

And there is absolutely no excuse for cutting social safety net programs when corporations clearly are not paying anywhere near their fair share of taxes. Not even close.

It's a scam.

Spread the word — a constitutional amendment giving people the right to vote solves much of what ails us. Maybe it’s hard to accomplish this nationally right now with all the hyperpartisanship but we can start to work on it at the state level.

According to #Putin, “Ukrainians do not exist. They will be re-educated as Russians or they will be killed.”

I encourage you to listen to the powerful words and testimony of Oleksandra Matviichuk, a #humanrights lawyer focused on issues within Ukraine and the OSCE region. She is the head of the Center for Civil Liberties, which was a co-recipient of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.

Republicans are against anything positive that advances the rights of most people, especially if it happens to advances the rights of minorities. And as long as Republicans remain in power, they will persist in their regressive, oppressive tactics against minorities, women, and anyone else they fear pushing back on their corrupt power structure.

The tactics of suppressing minority voting and inclusion signals to me that the GOP has hit the ceiling of their support and have difficulty growing their base. They seem to be scrambling to hang on to what little power they still have.

Why it’s important to vote #BidenHarris2024. The current conservative #SCOTUS would likely allow Trump to ban #abortion nationwide by executive order.

“But they signal how this court may rule under a future Republican administration. After all, if Republicans want to enforce the Comstock Act as a nationwide total abortion ban, they don’t need to win control of Congress. All they need is the White House.”

Sure, this is clever. But you know what's even more clever? Eliminating polling places entirely and switching to 100% vote-by-mail like in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Vermont, and Hawaii.

(With some in-person polling places as needed for accessibilty reasons)

Any GOP politicians who don’t want the #Trump chaos to continue should take the DC criminal convictions as an opportunity to make a clean break with #MAGA.
They could have done this after #Jan6 but they probably didn’t realize how bad it would get.
They now have an ideal opportunity to break away. Don’t squander it or you will be dragged into the pit with Trump.
