“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”

Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson has made it clear that she is deeply alarmed at the direction the Supreme Court and the country are heading—and that she’s willing to go it alone in expressing that distress.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Declaration of Independence
The newest Justice is increasingly willing to condemn the actions of the conservative majority, even when that means breaking with her liberal colleagues.

Planned Parenthood provides life-saving cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, contraceptives, and reproductive care for millions of Americans. SCOTUS already overturned Roe and continues to allow the Trump administration to attack our healthcare. apnews.com/article/supr...

"How many more New Yorkers will you detain?!"
"Do you believe in the First Amendment?!"
Today, Khalil is freed.

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:
