Yes. That’s why I say “don’t stop commenting” on SCOTUS decisions and practices. It matters.
Check out the Kavanaugh FN 4; I think it's pretty clear that the Kavanaugh Stop thing has gotten to him:

SCOTUS tells Trump no on deployment of Illinois Nat’l Guard, finding a valid exception to the Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t exist. Huge loss for the Trump Administration. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

NYT just watched JD Vance embrace racist ideals & rhetoric, state he was neutral towards the increasingly public unapologetic racism of his party, and declared he was a great unifier. If you say racist things & refuse to condemn overt racism, you are a racist.
White men are 30% of the population.

They are also:

- 98% of presidents
- 90% of CEOs
- 90% of billionaires
- 80% of Congress

Forever oppressed.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

The renaming of the Kennedy Center may not be Donald Trump’s worst sin, but it is offensive all the same. “This President simply cannot tolerate the degree of freedom and independence that art and artists require,” David Remnick writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/T39Mad

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.
