Okay. So we all understand that the Supreme Court has become a right-wing ideological political institution under Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh, & Roberts. They're for sale & illegitimate. Now, we have to beat them in the executive branch & the legislature.

The Supreme Court’s Conservative Supermajority Continues Its Work Rolling Back The 20th Century

The psychodrama over whether John Roberts is in control of the court is irrelevant when the justices just keep enacting the conservative policy agenda.

Organize the vote. They're taking us backward. We have already left them behind. Now we keep building people's power. We have the people. We are far more mighty. Hold on tight & keep organizing. Drown out the noise. Keep pushing forward. The only way to freedom is forward.

@nmn @MarkRuffalo No, President Biden can not wave his pen and add more SCOTUS judges. Congress has to approve the expansion. With the House controlled by Republicans, it won't happen. So what to do? re-elect President Biden and VP Harris in 2024, make sure Congressional seats a Dem is re-elected or elected to fill the empty Congressional seat. Same for State and County plus school boards.

@bellesapepper_37 @MarkRuffalo Also, in what to do, I wouldn’t mind if stronger candidates were elected instead of Biden and Harris. I’d also like to see corporate democrats replaced with better candidates across the board.
