Heartbreaking

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

They are watching him burn it down without a response … painful

Love that you guys are still fighting the good fight! Rewatching West Wing as a kinder political reality to get through this :-)

Bring them home.

Can we get them back?? Is that within the judges power?

I assumed that Democrats would fight. I am devastated by the spineless response offered in response to the plundering of our country.

Any casual observer of the Supreme Court can see what many prestigious constitutional lawyers can’t, which is that the conservative justices are frequently accomplices to Trump’s assault on democracy—a flag signaling support of the January 6 insurrection flew outside Justice Samuel Alito’s house. (Alito, vital specimen of right-wing masculine energy that he is, blamed his wife.) That sort of open partisanship is a bit inconvenient for Roberts, however, who during his confirmation hearing famously compared justices to umpires calling balls and strikes in a baseball game. A more appropriate sports analogy for how Roberts and his right-wing comrades approach cases appeared a few months later, when several referees in the Italian soccer league were implicated in fixing matches for top teams during the 2006 Calciopoli scandal.

Trump thanked John Roberts on his way out of the state of the union because he sees John Roberts more clearly than Roberts sees himself www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump orders swathes of US forests to be cut down for timber President’s move to expand tree cutting across 280m acres evades rules to protect endangered species

“Clearcutting these beautiful places will increase fire risk, drive species to extinction, pollute our rivers and streams, and destroy world-class recreation sites.” Trump’s timber order is based on nothing but lies, greed, hatred, and monumental ignorance.

Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'

FWIW, North Carolina is #5 in the list of states most economically impacted by cuts to the NIH! Only four other states have us beat (CA, NY, MA, and TX).

We need Rallies for Democracy. Serious headliners, Obamas, Clinton, Pete, Kamala. We need to gather and feel and show our numbers. Multiple cities. Learn from Bernie. People would turn out!

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Completely staged. But why wasn’t it investigated after? Where is the journalism? Who is telling us the story? The reality of it
