What happens usually is that folks quickly move on to scolding the fighters for the next 4 years. "It's just the first year of the term" "you need to get them a Congress to work with" "protest in the most toothless way possible"

I think that an insidious mistruth that is spread during Presidential elections in particular is that most of the people who do vote are planning to be engaged in other politics beyond voting on a regular basis. Pick the enemy you want to fight is belied by the fact that most won't fight that enemy.

Prison rape jokes are a part of rape culture. Making β€œdon’t drop the soap” and β€œbecome someone’s bitch” jokes means you think rape is okay if it happens to certain people.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Remember who had did all of that agenda- and parameter-setting around terms like "activist judges" and "politicizing the courts?" They were telling you what they were going to do. When they accuse, they are always telling you what they are going to do.

Beyond his obvious problems, Biden is the worst possible person to be President in this historical moment. He doesn't speak about Supreme Court corruption because he's a supposed "institutionalist," he convened a "commission" which came to nothing, he has absolutely no fire to rally the country, etc

No one is coming to save us.

Because we don't have a democracy to save, but we do have one to build from the ground up.

At this point, it is 100% undeniable that the Supreme Court majority is attempting to destroy democracy and seize total power over the US. They're not even trying to hide it. Since the media refuses to clearly convey this fact to the public, tell everyone you know.

We’re living through an era when everything needs to be upended yet so many people are clinging tightly to the edge of the pool. I understand why this is: when things feel uncertain, the status quo is a mirage of β€˜safety’. But we need people who are willing to swim in the deep end & offer new paths
