The SCOTUS will not save us. We need to vote.
Don’t count on anyone else to bail us out.
The only way to save democracy is to get voters to the polls. “Hoping” won’t work. Expecting SCOTUS, Norms, Guardrails, etc is going to fail. If you want democracy to continue, vote, get your friends to vote, run for local office, get anyone and everyone you know to go vote - even if you’re in a solid blue area.
Nothing is coming to save us.
The only way to save democracy is to get voters to the polls.
The start of saving democracy is getting voters to the polls. It’s increasingly clear that that won’t be the only thing we have to be prepared to do, though.
Welcome to The Jungle originally by Upton Sinclair, now a live experience brought to you by the SCOTUS’ lack of ethics.
Welcome to The Jungle
Do they at least have some fun and games for us while we wait for them to bring us to our sha-na-na-na-na-na-na knees, knees?
Just the poison in our food and environment, lack of safety controls in our jobs, complete lack of liability from corporations, and no social support when we’re inevitably ground into the dirt.
We seem to have drastically different definitions of “fun” and possibly also “games” 😁
The Jungle is what radicalized me when I read it during high school.
I know the takeaway for so many people is that food back then was tampered with and that was horrifying. At least, that seems to be all anyone ever talks about.
The story of the family hit me so hard, though. The food impurities thing seemed horrible, but sort of remote. We have laws about it now, and at that age, I didn’t realize that food handling is still pretty bad, but the risk of eating human fingers or sawdust in ground meat is probably not a certainty.
What rocked my world was watching that family get used up. They came in search of opportunity. Capitalism and a cruel and uncaring society ate them piece by piece, until they turn to addiction and begging/prostitution to cope/survive.
It’s a soul-crushing novel. Would recommend.Congratulations, you got Sinclair’s actual intended message, unlike most people.
We didn’t need a legal expert to tell us that, the dissenting justices already did.
The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.
Supreme Court abuses
TIL I’m a legal expert.
Isn’t that the point of movement conservatism?
