We could have a Supreme Court judicial ethics policy with teeth if Biden would just go ahead pack the court. It’s entirely within his power. Don’t think the Republicans will hesitate for a second to expand the court the moment they lose the majority and have the Presidency back in hand. They’ve already blocked Judicial nominations from Democrat presidents. They will go further.

The GOP’s promises mean absolutely nothing, as they have proven time and time again. Democrats have to learn that they can’t make deals with people who don’t act in good faith. Lucy isn’t going to leave that football on the ground, Charlie Brown!

The Democratic Party needs to stop using the terrible, corrupt, and horrifically damaging SC decisions for election fodder, and actually fix the problem. They have the power.

Crutches and Spice, Imani Barbarin really said it perfectly in her tiktok here: tiktok.com/t/ZTRvBXpWo/

She points out how Democrats not fighting against the rise of fascism, how they are in lockstep with it despite claiming to be "against it," is them helping fascism along. She really speaks truth here.

This is why Americans cannot rely on Democrats to save us. They won't, and they haven't. They are okay with fascism because it serves the interests of the elites they serve.

We need to keep calling them out on it. Fighting to tear down the system that oppresses us, and work together to build a better future.

Voting isn't gonna stop fascism. It's not enough, and for some of us, our right to vote is being stripped away. More must be done.

We need to clog up the machine and stop all harmful bills from being passed in any way possible.

We need to engage in protests everywhere and not back down.

We need to boost up truth-telling newspapers who try hard to get the truth out about all of this. Share the reality and talk to one another to get others that truth. We need to campaign with others to build something better for when we finally tear down these oppressive systems.

We need to rebuild community care that includes Covid mitigations and accessibility.

We need to sabotage these people's ability to weaponize systems to harm us, to stop them from saturating us with misinformation and lies. (This includes the AI/chatbot engines that are being used by Big Tech to flood us with shitty and lying articles that make it harder and harder to find the truth when we search for it). We need to call out and boycott and protest outside newspapers like New York Times for their complicity in eugenics and genocide against disabled folks, trans folks, people of color -- NYT purposely set up all discussions around Covid and trans people so that the right could blatantly lie and have their lies be treated as equal to the facts. That goes beyond negligence. That is outright evil, and NYT upholding that it's trying to be "impartial?" That's them admitting they don't give a shit of the impact that anti-trans and ableism has done to KILL people.

We are powerful together. Don't let these fascists tear us down or get us trapped into thinking we have no power to stop this, that we are doomed.

We are not doomed. We can stop this horror, but we got to work together to do it. We got to fight against the despair, the denialism, the fear, and instead, rebuild that community care. We are not alone. We are strong together. Remember that.
