Historian here it’s not just the Supreme Court, it’s time for a Third Reconstruction of American democracy now that we have seen how easy it is for bad actors to play the system for nefarious goals.

The primary danger now is wildly erratic "gambling for resurrection" type behavior because of the declining power of unconsolidated authoritarianism
Trump is weak.
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

It's been 25 years since a blatantly corrupt SCOTUS decision changed the world.
We may never know who actually won, because they made sure we could never find out.
Imagine how different the world would be today.

We are underreacting to this‼️
We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.
The emergency docket, aka “shadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.

BREAKING: Indiana Republicans FAILED to pass a new 9-0 congressional gerrymander after enough GOP senators sided with Dems. The GOP's 7-2 map stays in place.
Trump is trying to re-gerrymander maps nationwide. At least 11 Indiana Rs got death threats after he called for primaries—but it still failed

What we’re seeing with the US is a systematic self-dismantling of a Western country.
I’m baffled. Why?
Yes, Trump is a Russian agent. He has to be. But why is everyone in his government going along with this?

Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.
