The Supreme Court ruling on student loan forgiveness should remind everyone that conservatives hate the poor, they hate women, they hate minorities, and they want life to be as difficult & as miserable as possible for anyone who’s not a rich white man.

If Dems don't find a voice and some energy, I swear to God.

Me and my idealism are really struggling right now over all the greed, hypocrisy, racism, and stupidity in our society and institutions.
This quote from The Talmud is helping to keep me centered.
"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."
I'm not Jewish, but Unitarian Universalists study wisdom from all the world's religions.

Personally, I'm more in favor of term limits and impeachments. There are at least 3 justices who have earned impeachment.
On MSNBC today I actually heard the President say he didn't want to try to expand the Supreme Court because it might make it too political.
. . .
Honestly. After picking my jaw up off the floor, I have no words.

And lobby your congressman about expanding the Court.
@BeckyWerner719
Great. Except the Dems aren't currently pursuing a court reform plan, to my knowledge.
And I wish the hell they were.
The Supreme Court and the DOJ have both been corrupted by GOP leadership in Congress and GOP Presidents (specifically 45).
So it's very alarming to me that Biden continues to wait and hope the corruption will eventually melt away if he just follows old norms.
We desperately need aggressive action to fix both these critical institutions. Instead, the Biden/Garland team appear to feel they have all the time in the world to wait.
We need new leadership, folks.

I’m midway through ssn 2 finale. And I believe I’ll be watching it all again soon. It’s that good.
And yes, it has the same spirit as “Ted Lasso”. Great comparison. Strive. Believe.
Let it rip.
These are characters I will miss, waiting for ssn 3. I’m in love with “The Bear”.

Folks, say it with me now:
"They aren't Republicans anymore. They're fascists".
@TwiHusband
Wow. Scary indeed. Thanks for putting this out.
