When I taught Civics, I used Supreme Court cases to trace our expansion of rights to demonstrate democratic values.

This SCOTUS is corrupt.

ICE is literally being used by a fascist criminal regime as their personal army to assault, abduct, kidnap, imprison and terrorize people of color and their perceived enemies. They aren’t a lawful agency, they’re a criminal Gestapo.

Remember: RFK Jr. fired his last CDC director because she refused to ram through his anti-vax agenda.

Yesterday, RFK Jr.’s handpicked vaccine skeptics threw out DECADES of settled science — and Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up.

This will hurt American kids and families.
