1. Vote out Trump’s Republican enablers in Congress this November. 2. Enact major structural reforms (SCOTUS expansion, campaign finance, anti-gerrymandering, voting rights, electoral college work-around, etc.) to reinvigorate our democracy. 3. Take back the White House and keep going. 🇺🇸

STATEMENT FROM DEMAND JUSTICE PRESIDENT JOSH ORTON ON SUPREME COURT ALLOWING TRUMP TO MOVE FORWARD WITH $400M BALLROOM

"The Supreme Court just rubber-stamped a monument to corruption: a $400 million ballroom bankrolled by Lockheed, Palantir, Amazon, and other corporations with billions in federal contracts riding on Trump's goodwill. Justices who take luxury gifts from billionaires just made another giveaway to the oligarchy and the corporations buying a president.

“The Supreme Court's legitimacy crisis just got worse, and it won't end until we expand the Court and get a majority dedicated to honesty, fairness, and justice for all."

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

Why we need permitting reform, and why we need to stop Trump’s corrupt blockade of American solar and wind (hint: he does it to force U.S. grids to buy expensive fossil power from his crooked donors, even though your costs go up).
A graph from Carbon Brief titled, “China now generates more electricity than the US, EU, and India combined,” depicts electricity generation by country in terawatt hours. A blue line climbing steadily upward from 1990-2025 represents China, while light grey lines that remain relatively flat represent the US, EU, and India.
