It’s only a matter of time before these cases get to the Supreme Court
And SCOTUS either demonstrates full obeisance to Donald Trump and Elon Musk
Or Trump refuses to enforce the High Court’s order
When that day comes
The entire fate of our democracy
Will rest entirely upon we, the people

The sooner we loudly show this, the better off we will be. They try more when they get away with more and think they operate in darkness. We need floodlights and crowds.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.
This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...
