Guys, @npub1ry2…ma3q has written an important op-ed you should read: it’s about how our political press is failing us, and asks them to do better.
Thank you Dan

Everyone demanding President Biden should be replaced by... someone?
How about demanding, oh, THAT THE CONVICTED FELON, RAPIST, AND WANNABE FASCIST DICTATOR STEP DOWN?
How about that?

We legislate new laws, repeal some, rewrite others; we’ve even repealed Constitutional Amendments. Nothing is permanent. John Roberts illegitimate and corrupt #SCOTUS even destroyed stare decisis, so precedence cannot even stop us!
Today might be a bad day, but it is NOT our last act. We have a lot of options ahead of us, but they all begin with #voting.
I cannot say this enough #2024 is now the most important election in our modern history. Be there.

Thanks!
I’m the weirdo that paid attention in Civics class (remember when we had that?) and I know generally how the mechanics work, but maybe more importantly I know where to look.
Nothing is impossible, there is always a way. But the power to change things belongs to the voters.

IF (and it is a big IF) we can win the House and hold the #Senate without Manchin and Sinema (Manchinema?), then there’s a good chance we can nuke the filibuster and get some SCOTUS reform.
It’s a big lift, but it is not impossible.
But it all begins with winning #2024, up and down the entire ballot.
I hope I’m not hunting a unicorn!

Now that Chevron is gone, it is gonna be a lot of fun to have a judge like Aileen Cannon rule on, oh, let’s say Boeing’s safety as determined by the FAA.
Add into the mix that Judges can legally get “gratuities" after they rule, and gosh! What Bonanza for justice!

I have a friend whose partner is a doctor in the ER. They say the first objective with anyone coming in is to keep them breathing and stabilize the patient
This goes for our Climate Crisis too; we need to keep breathing by getting rid of internal combustion engines and then later we can deal with better batteries.
Stabilize, and keep breathing folks.

America doesn’t ask a lot of us except to participate in our own governance. And to accept the outcome of the majority.
There’s something about saying, “you must earn MY vote” that strikes of coming from a place of extreme privilege when it doesn’t matter to you when things go south for everyone else.
