People are making voting decisions based on 90-minute debates, while the Supreme Court is dismantling expert oversight of workplace and healthcare standards, judicial rules and regulations, and consumer and environmental protections, among many other critical areas of concern. All of this is happening just in time for the possible rise of an impending fascist dictatorship. Vote like your life depends on it, because it literally does. #SCOTUS #ExpandTheCourt

Remember the old Western serials about the classic cattle baron/mega-spread owner against the settlers and the rancher-farmers?
Remember how the wealthy rancher diverted water, ran cattle over fields, bought up land, sent thugs to terrorize and kill resisters, kidnapped and raped women, and enslaved those of non-white races? Demanded loyalty and obedience from all? Until the third reel, when—
This November, there may not be a third reel.
Vote wisely.
Don't let the bad guys win.
