This. Biden, RBG, and Garland aren’t the bad guys. We’re all victims of the oligarchs. Sometimes victims make mistakes. That doesn’t exonerate the perpetrators for exploiting them.
What do you gain by saying Ruth Bader Ginsberg should’ve retired during Obama’s term and is at fault for Dobbs. Do you feel better about this train wreck administration when you say Joe Biden should’ve not elected to run a primary. Is your sleep better when you say you think Merrick Garland failed.

Illinois returns nearly 1,500 acres of stolen land to state's first federally recognized tribe
The land in southern Dekalb County once belonged to Chief Shab-eh-nay of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation but was seized and sold by the U.S. when the chief was visiting relatives.
