Impeach the conservative felons on the Supreme Court and retract and nullify all of their fraudulent, unconstitutional rulings. Replace all six under a democratic presidency.

Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize but he did get a fake award from FIFA. They are simply stroking Trump's fragile ego so he won't send ICE agents to the World Cup. #FIFAWorldCup #FIFAPeacePrize #Trump #CrackerJack #war #WorldCup #ICE #Deportation #immigrants

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
