Each district should have one Supreme Court justice, overseeing it, but they should rotate. 2, SCOTUS itself is overburden and more justices are needed for it to process its work. 3, Six more seats would give us a 9 to 6 majority 120

drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025I’d go one step further. Their behavior is not “reminiscent“ of authoritarian resumes. It is authoritarian. And the United States is now a dictatorship. A soft one, but a dictatorship, nonetheless, with neutered courts, universities, and media. As official and stochastic violence. 0173
drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025They think they’re being edgy, but they’re just being pricks. At the end of the day we’re on the same side, the difference being that you and I are not contemptuous of them and don’t think that Orwellian thought police are less terrifying than Orwellian thugs on the street.

drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025And what we’re saying is that it is not mundane, not even “comparatively“ to the horrible brutality toward “enemies of the state” including immigrants.

drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025It’s actually not funny. Because suppressing even comedians is one of the things that they do in full-blown dictatorships.

drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025“Nathan” who thinks it’s funny that “boomers” are upset by the Kimmel firing because he thinks they don’t care about ICE. Iron fisted control of the media is the cornerstone of a fold dictatorship, and without it, no one will hear ever know about the grotesque abuses that lie ahead. 100
drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/20251. your smug comments about “boomers“ are insulting and don’t help to build any unity. 2. without the freedom to speak about things on television, or the Internet, or on the street, (try living under Franco), nobody will hear about ICE anyway. 120
drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025You’ve never lived under a dictatorship, have you? After a few years living under this one you’ll come to appreciate the gravity of not being able to say or think what you want. 110
drshand.bsky.social @drshand.bsky.social · 18/09/2025Sorry, honey, but the same people outraged by the elimination of free speech are also outraged by what’s happening with ice. Get off your fucking high horse. And by the way, free speech is the cornerstone of all of our freedoms. Even those of anarchists. 110
