Thanks US Supreme Court, and conservatives in the US between fucking over debt forgiveness and ending the child tax credit you’ve stolen more than 6000 from me and my kids, family values my ass, for that matter the #bible says forgiveness is a requirement from God but most Bible thumpers don’t actually read it #debtforgiveness #DebtForgivenessNow
In my lifetime, we went from a president so squeaky clean that his opponents tried to make fist bumping his wife a scandal, to multiple Supreme Court justices mansplaining to us that just because they accept gifts from billionaires doesn’t make them corrupt.

Iowa state senate votes to allow children to work longer hours and serve alcohol

In a move meant to combat a labor shortage, children under age 16 can now work six hours a day

No one is dumb enough to think expelling the two Black men while keeping the white woman is anything but a huge racist flare sent soaring into the sky. They sent a pointedly racist message because that’s the message they very much want to send.
Though not included in the piece, I also commented to Greg Sargent that the Senate Judiciary committee should consider the latest revelations about #ClarenceThomas as grounds to require the Supreme Court to adopt a formal code of ethics for its members. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/06/clarence-thomas-luxury-trips-propublica-supreme-court-reform/
The new Clarence Thomas revelations are shocking. Democrats must act.

This provides an opening to talk about the Supreme Court's legitimacy.
