Do you wanna live under right wing freak minority rule any longer? We voted down vouchers before the rat fuckers of democracy snuck them through and the ducey packed AZ supreme court started protecting them. GET. OUT. AND. VOTE.

Full statement on the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais: "The Roberts Court seeks to achieve what the Confederacy and the Klan could not while wearing robes that are black rather than white."
With today’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, the Supreme Court dishonors the bloody sacrifices of generations of civil rights activists.

The Roberts Court seeks to achieve what the Confederacy and the Klan could not while wearing robes that are black rather than white.

This Court’s documented corruption and rabid partisanship deserves the ignominy it earned. To restore public faith in the Court’s ability to render a free and fair judgment, we must break the grip of corporate partisan power over it.

In Congress, I will fight for my plan to expand the Supreme Court to 13 rotational seats to dilute the power of any single justice and place them under an enforceable code of conduct.

The Supreme Court of the United States must serve, not subjugate, the people.

While Trump's assertion that "a whole civilization will die tonight" represents a discrete threat of genocide against Iran, the fact that it comes from a U.S. president, while Congress does nothing, actually represents a broader civilizational collapse — whether he follows through or not.

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.
