Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country.

Well said! 👏👏

The hypocrisy of this despicable man knows no bounds . . . 🤦‍♀️

How many Americans actually believe his ridiculous lies about Oct 18th? That’s what I wonder about . . . 🤷‍♀️

Thank you Bernie Sanders! These Republicans can’t get away with their Trump/Miller/Vought scripted LIES!

It’s Trump & Republicans who are blatantly destroying the freedoms our founders intended for America!

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Let’s hope there are some courageous investigative journalists looking at these thugs - the truth comes out eventually! 💪

Yep - they always leave a loophole they can climb back through depending on who is in power . . . 😔

Notice this idiot is still claiming that China will pay the tariff - not Americans!! 🤦‍♀️

The stupidity of this man is truly mind blowing . . . 🤯

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 16h

It’s not his age, thats just who this idiot is!

Biden is older, yet he had vision for these progressive infrastructure projects!

Trump & his sycophants are destroying this country - seemingly intentionally.

I suppose the Oligarchs intend to waltz in to pick the pieces for a hefty price⁉️🤷‍♀️

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah, it makes me sick too!🤮

BUT . . . for Ukraine’s sake . . . for them to have peace & freedom . . . and to have reduced tensions all across Europe, it’d be worth the sacrifice of a little barf in my throat! 🤣

I think we’re safe though - just can’t see Trump doing anything that good, can you?🤦‍♀️

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

A great start on next years prize would be to back Ukraine 100% in its defense against Russia’s aggression! Help Zelenskyy push Putin back to pre-2014 borders!

If he could accomplish THAT, the entire world would award him every peace prize on the planet, including the Nobel! 👏

So the U.S. has 3 military bases located in Qatar - 10,000 U.S. military personnel are based there - it’s the largest American military presence in the Middle East! They let the U.S. be based in their country, so how do Americans deny allowing them to be located here⁉️🤷‍♀️

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

YES! 👏👏

The fat cats also do things & vote for things that help THEIR positions, not ours . . . Republicans generally support the wealthy & well connected these days, not We The People . . .🤨

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

Not to mention renaming the Dept of Defense “The Dept of WAR” . . . and all his rhetoric around WAR against the “enemy within” domestically . . . and using American cities as a “training ground” for the military . . . and all the talk about “warrior ethos” and “lethality” . . . 🤣🤣🤣

Good one!!🤣👏👏

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly! It’s the only way to defeat a Bully, and there is strength in numbers! If people would only set aside their competitive greed for a minute, and stick together to stand up to this prick, we’d be done with all his bullshit in no time!! 🤦‍♀️

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly! Bullies don’t know what to do with “quiet & peaceful aggression”, so it’s very effective! When they invariably respond with violence (because that’s all they know) it royally backfires on them!

This is why the civil rights actions were so effective!

👍

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

I have faith that Americans won’t stand for being told what they can & cannot do!! Much like the “taxation without representation” that led to independence, Americans are a defiant lot - at least they used to be? 🤷‍♀️

Yes, I’m lucky to have options if the worst happens, thank you! 🙏

Yep! McConnell is definitely on my “worst of the worst” list! For that, plus:

We must never forgive him for his unethical game playing around seating Supreme Court Justices - that packed the court with a super majority of Christian White Nationalists for at least a generation or two! 😡👿

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

Well said! I wish even half the Republicans in Congress had the courage to stand up to that despicable bully . . . 🤨

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

“Selfless” leadership!

Pretty much says it all, doesn’t it!! 👍

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

So it would encourage MAGA Catholics to put pressure on Trumps regime to stop their pathetic behavior⁉️🤷‍♀️

According to recent polling, 85% of Republicans approve of Trumps performance, which I assume includes Catholics - they think what he’s doing is just fine!!🤦‍♀️

That entire “regime” manages by Fear & Intimidation - which is the absolute WORST management philosophy there is for motivation, productivity & employee retention . . . 🤦‍♀️

Truth & Facts Matter 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦 @cancatdo.bsky.social · 1d

Brilliant!!👏👏
