Fuck off Robert. If you want to wallow in the shit, go do it on your own. You clearly don’t know how anything works. We can change things but it has to start locally. Everywhere. Create community in your own cities and towns. Fight there first. Stop focusing on natl stuff we can’t control.

We have to let this court dismantle the country for a generation. The options to fix it beyond "Mebbe they'll die?" are considered unserious by brilliant minds like Dick Durbin.

I keep on thinking about how John Roberts messed up nitrogen oxide with nitrous oxide in a ruling on how the courts were better suited to provide expertise than experts.

Wow. Now Biden is retreating to “the middle” which means he is actually moving right when he should be loudly moving left if he wants any hope of winning. I thought he had smart people around him. I guess the fuck not.

Gonna keep saying this & will die on this hill: Bad news without any guidance on what to do about it [at least some ideas] demobilizes and often encourages inaction. We on the Left(s) have to avoid cynicism which is deeply corrosive and also counterrevolutionary.

Criminalizing homelessness without criminalizing poverty wages, and the commodification and price gouging of basic necessities like healthcare, housing and food that lead to homelessness is an absolute moral failure now owned by the right-wing justices on the Supreme Court.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

It kills me that my mom - at 86 - has to drive Door Dash to make ends meet because she doesn’t get enough SS & her retirement $ is almost gone. And these fuckers with plenty of $ & resources won’t just retire! Instead they impose their out of touch bullshit on us all.

I volunteer with my local Dems and seeing some of them call for Biden to be replaced last night - after so many of us have been begging for that to happen and being told we were “uneducated in policy” and would be responsible for Trump has me so angry.

Here’s my prediction on post-election rhetoric: Young voters will be to blame because China used TikTok to radicalize them, black voters will be blamed for “staying on the couch,” which is actual DNC phrasing btw, and Palestinian voters in Michigan will be selfish, “single issue” betrayers.

This court is not only corrupt but they are also fucking stupid. This will create a shit show that a court in (hopefully) a few years (?) will have to overturn. We don’t have enough courts or judges or anything to deal with the onslaught of cases.

I haven’t felt this hopeless in a long time. At least we can fight for abortion rights at the state level. But what the fuck will happen when every health & safety regulation has to be litigated through the courts!!! Every financial regulation. Every fucking thing.

I am seeing otherwise reasonable people claim that “Dems are questioning Biden’s viability.” NOW they’re doing that? NOW?! After we screamed for a year that this would happen? That he wasn’t up to a brawl with Trump? That we needed someone younger and more energetic? Fuck everyone.

Carl - I voted in the 2024 primary. I left President blank but there was a primary. The RNC did actually cancel primaries IIRC. If you say Biden is not the legit President if he wins the election, you will have very strange bedfellows that I don’t think you want.

But he won’t and the process is nuts and it would be so much worse for Dems if he did at this point. Also, if you think the powers that be will nominate a woman who isn’t Kamala, you understand even less than you seem to.

I hate to break it to you but that’s not the way shit works. I agree everything is broken and everything sucks but suggesting things that simply cannot and will not happen doesn’t help anyone. Sorry to burst your bubble.

That’s because when white dudes get ridiculously wealthy, it is due to their hard work and intelligence. If anyone other than a white dude gets rich it’s because they’re criminals who don’t deserve the wealth they obviously stole from white people through the use of woke.

That said, I expected to see Quigley as a yes vote and I’m pleasantly surprised that he voted no. It’s a ridiculous bill.

Turns out the OP was incorrect (and corrected himself in a comment). It was Don Davis and NOT Danny Davis who voted yes.

I was wondering about that! I imagine that Danny Davis’ constituents would not be happy about that. I’m glad to see my rep Quigley did not vote yes as I feared. I expect this “don’t talk about it & it doesn’t exist” bull from the GOP but for Dems to do it is gross.

One big issue is that certain insurance companies (like Medicaid in IL) require that you use Walgreens because now they own the pharamacy management shit the insurance cos used to do. So what will this mean for people who now won’t be close to a Walgreens to get prescriptions?

It’s almost as if the Trump family using the RNC to funnel money into Trump’s legal costs was a bad idea.
