Ich weiß, das ist naiver Hippie-Shit, aber ich würde mir wirklich wünschen, dass wir eine Debatte führen darüber, wie wir als reiche Gesellschaft dafür sorgen können, dass es allen gut geht. Und nicht darüber, wie man am besten Schwächere bestraft.

As Paul said just now to @msignorile.bsky.social "We're in a crisis." That can't be emphasized enough. SCOTUS reform is mandatory.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.
