1A Freedom of speech was a guard against the federal government squashing dissent.

Big private money bought all the news outlets & can fire people for what they say.

Now that big money & Trump (& SCOTUS) have merged, the fed has been privatized.

Speech must praise Trump or be mired in $ lawsuits.

This is how the fall of dictators begins: they lose the loyalty of the military.

It is clear from the way the dissent was written…full of subjective insults of the lower court…that this SCOTUS is full of MAGA loyalists.

But we knew that.

I’m liking Justice Barrett more than I hate her.

Excellent!

Now, will Trump comply?

The best way to get a Constitutional crisis is to ignore or mock the courts’ rulings.

Priceless.

No, wait, Judge Thomas & his wife DO have a price.

Money.

It is the one and only thing Trump & The Broligarchs care about.

Hit them where it hurts. HARD!

When it comes to Iran, I don’t think they just “try” anything.

So…what happens when Trump defies the courts?

What happens when he defies SCOTUS?

This nascent civil war will get very hot.

The only times Collins votes "no" is when the nomination will get a majority anyway.

When hers is the decisive vote, she always falls in line.

She's a profile in weakness.

I have two words of advice on how to stay informed during this nightmare: Rachel Maddow.

Accurate.

You’re one of the best!!

Hope to see you telling the truth on another platform soon!

So…can those attacked on January 6 sue the ones who were just pardoned?

It’s all about the $, it seems.

Right.

Like none of the big corporations have ever lied to us before.

Like Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't just donate &1 million to Trump inauguration.

It’s not disloyal to side with Russia. It just means that you’re Russian.

Musk, Trump, and everyone on the right are doing everything they can to rewrite history.

Nothing makes that easier than disassociating events from time.

If Kamala had won, easily the greatest.

Now, the goal posts have been moved.

What happens in the next month, and then years, may put him in the Chamberlain category.

Anyone who has the audacity to cite the “American justice system” after the convicted felon, insurrectionist, sexual abuser, etc., got away with everything needs to shut way the f up.

Is 31.5 Billion dollars a good price to elect Trump president?
