The SCOTUS exists to rubber stamp every fascist move the GOP makes. That's why we got Gorsuch, Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh.
As one legal eagle pointed out to me, the SCOTUS has voted against precendent in the past, but never have they voted in such a manner to take people's rights away. In fact, they've voted against precedent to either expand or protect the people's rights.
We can no longer count on that from this court.

"The series is a huge reality check regarding our misconceptions about addressing climate change. It’s understandable if you believe some of these misconceptions. We’re fed a steady diet of them from industries and governments that herald these solutions as the Holy Grail of fixing the ramifications of climate change."

@OldCountryDoctor Thanks. I sometimes imagine the ideal world. Most of what we do wouldn't happen in an ideal world. We're so used to this one we don't realize all the ways greed and selfishness have tainted it.

All 50 GOP Senators voted against raising the minimum wage to $15/hr last year.

Not a single one came out in favor of the PRO Act {The Right To Organize}.

If your a real worker who doesn't put on a suit to go to work, the GOP hates you, and they'll do anything they can to pick your pockets

This is *not* to suggest America's involvement or place is not important; Indeed Zelenskyy himself really mentioned America's stature in ways that felt genuine and true towards our history and what good this country has done.

But it is to point out that, right now, Ukraine is the bulwark against the biggest threat of our moment.

And as such, we must make sure they do continue to stand.

Why is it, that to become an Astronaut you have to pass every conceivable test in the world to prove you are capable of the job?

Yet we can have a POTUS and other leaders that have passed zero tests and run our country.

We need a comprehensive Vetting process now!

DYK that 1 in 50 people have an unruptured brain aneurysm? Every 18 minutes, an aneurysm ruptures in the US. Of those that have a rupture, about 50% are fatal. Of the survivors, about 2/3 of them live with permanent deficits. If you have a family member with aneurysms, then your risk increases, as well.
But imaging/brain scans can identify aneurysms, so treatment can begin. Get a scan; it could save your life!
