The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.

Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.

John Roberts > Roger Taney.

Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.

CALIFORNIANS: have you voted YES ON 50 yet? if not, get that shit done. reminder that you can drop off your ballot at your polling place OR if you need to, drop it in the mail (as long as it’s postmarked today, it’ll count).
We need to pass Prop 50 today in CA to counter what Trump & TX are doing to gerrymander & steal the election. It’s a temporary measure & essential counter-balance. We also need to work on a federal law mandating all 50 states use independent redistricting commissions to draw congressional districts.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress:

I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...
A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts
Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

I'm so proud of my sister, who was head writer for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and is now the showrunner of this brand-new HORTON! series for Netflix.

Please watch with your family! It's hard to get preschool shows made these days, and the algo isn't built for this www.netflix.com/title/81388347

All three have been canceled in our house. I’m sad to see them go, but even I’m sadder that Disney is caving to authoritarianism. #BoycottDisneyABC
Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney.

Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

Tired: Independent commissions will fix gerrymandering.
Wired: Democrats just need to bring a knife to knife fight in the redistricting wars.
Inspired: Proportional representation makes gerrymandering pointless and irrelevant.

INFURIATING!! “This represents a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent.

Here's what that number means: for every dollar a grandmother in Iowa donates believing she's saving democracy, 98 cents goes to consultants and operational costs. Just pennies reach actual campaigns.”
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.
