If anyone still thinks we’re not rapidly approaching Nazi Germany, compare the Enabling Act of 1933 to SCOTUS’s decisions in Trump v US and the implications of Noem v Perdomo.

SCOTUS was never going to save us. A Republican congress was never going to save us. Institutions were never going to save us. This country is goose-stepping its way to authoritarianism and leaving may be the only way to protect ourselves.

Of the many problems with recent SCOTUS decisions is their impracticality.
How do we know where the line is? Can Trump set up murder camps and just start killing people until SCOTUS weighs in?
Can I assert that it is my closely held belief that usury is sinful and refuse to pay interest?

Make no mistake: this is an all out attack on our nation's public schools, allowing an extreme few to veto any lessons that conflict with their religious beliefs. It won't stop at LGBTQ characters in books.
JUST IN: The Supreme Court rules in favor of parents who want to opt out of classes that use books with LGBTQ characters.
Supreme Court rules for religious opt-outs for kids in public schools
At issue was whether school systems are required to provide parents with an "opt-out" option when parents claim their religious beliefs conflict with their children's course material.

The Supreme Court has completely abrogated its duty to the Constitution and the people of this republic. In its last two terms, it created an American dictator and granted that authority to the worst person to be elected present.
All we have left is:
Hail Caesar! May he suffer the same fate.

The Supreme Court just severely limited the federal courts’ ability to fight the Trump regime, taking away their authority to issue universal injunctions that block illegal policies nationwide.
This is an assault on the rule of law and proof all three branches of government are part of this regime.

Read the decision. Apparently, it violates first amendment rights to acknowledge that gay people exist and have relationship relationships.
Also, there is a blatant call for an opportunity to overturn marriage equality.

BREAKING: the Supreme Court is allowing religious bigots to keep public schools from teaching that LGBTQ+ people exist. This decision is a betrayal of public school students across the country and their right to safe, welcoming schools.

The only way out now is for Trump to do something so horrible that his party turns on him (ha!) or if he just isn’t around anymore, which will break the cult of personality.
