If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat.

Now is a time for courage.

The SCOTUS fascists are at it again. Ruling Trump's claim of immunity regarding his self-coup of 1.6.21 can be heard in April. That means a ruling in June, plus more legal delays after that. And that, folks means impunity from prosecution.
