Except for the 3 Democrats sitting on this SCOTUS, the Republi-CON TRAITORS to America must ALL be charged with TREASON against the U.S.A.‼️

The legislative activism from the SCOTUS bench by the "Vile 6" will not be remembered kindly by history. This is a dark time on that court.

It becomes more obvious every day that if we want to end this regime, we the people, have to take down the big money that supports this regime. Our Congress isn't working for us. We, the 99%, have immense power in our spending. Quit Amazon and all the others. You have alternatives and POWER!

Phase one is complete. Phase two: gerrymander all previously black districts into lean Republican at a minimum Phase 3: create social norms that return to a defacto form of segregation Phase 4: organize a constitutional convention to repeal 14A citing a rise in illegal immigration Phase 5: strip

Sorry, this is gonna be multiple posts. I'll make a separate thread as well. Everyone in this thread does realize that this has everything to do with power, wealth and control, and very little to do with race at this point? Right?

Given the destruction of the Voting Rights Act thanks to Mitch McConnell’s devilish acts allowing trump to pack the supreme court- we should call on the next CA governor to work with the legislature to abolish the commission on redistricting & make the Prop 50 changes permanent.

Abolishing the Electoral College requires a constitutional amendment, passing by two-thirds of both Congressional houses and ratification by three-fourths of states. 1 person 1 vote....

hursty69.bsky.social3

What will happen overtime is democrats college educated of all races will leave backwards hick states behind and take their big paychecks with them to the progressive blue states. Red states will become even more poor than they already are. And maga will destroy each other.

cjdit.bsky.social2

It is a truly horrible decision, with long-lasting terrible effects.

snaxlight.bsky.social2

As soon as people realize the 2026 elections will be so rigged that their voice doesn't matter anymore... We know where this is all going, and the alt-right knows. They WANT that war. They are the bully incessantly poking us and smiling, waiting for us to punch so they can claim we started it.

luce-veritas.bsky.social2

"The ruling is "a license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities."" As intended by the criminally corrupt SCOTUS MAGA 6 who have been legislating their rabid racism from the bench for decades. They like the Trump-GOP crime syndicate are a disgrace.

WhiteTigerWarrior2

Only if people allow them to do this. This is a heavy gop area and we just voted in two democrats which means some gops crossed the line for democracy. What is really important here? Party loyalty to fascism or democracy. I always pick democracy.

Dr. Wally | Let’s Human Together-Curious, Reflective, Vulnerable2

Few things shape whether people feel they belong in a democracy like knowing their community has a real voice in who represents it. The harm of narrowing that voice reaches well past one election. #HumanTogether

Interestingly, since intent will have to be proven, heads up, dear techie friends. We know the vad actors, the grifting, bought&paid4 stinkie-winkies. Follow their emails from now on. The tech is already in place. Let them prove the cases. Let them do all the work just collect the trash from them. 🧐

This is why we need more progressive, for the people politicians coming forward. To ensure that our democracy is inclusive of everyone, and not bowing to the rich and corporate.

N Keyser2

what if we just rid of all state districts at federal level. Proportional representation. Let’s say a state has 10 reps. 70% gop, 30% Dem. That’s 7 gop seats, & 3 Democrat seats. The parties can choose how to fill the seats in the primary perhaps. Top 3 dems get the 3 seats.

May a history of this Supreme Court shame the current Conservative justices and relegate them to a place of infamy

Andy Olsen29

It's the Jim Crow Court. We must expand the court to unpack it.

Eric Foltz28

Democrats need to stop fcking around. -Expand the court to 13 Justices. -Get rid of the "Shadow Docket."

Jeff Milchen15

The imperative of restoring balance to revoke the lawless SCOTUS majority's power already was clear, but let's leverage this outrageous ruling to build the bandwagon.

Ido Amir11

The American people elected A LIAR for President. The American people elected LIARS for Congress. The American people elected LIARS for the Senate. These LIARS appointed LIARS to the Supreme Court. Anything built on LIES eventually crumbles. The United States of America is NO exception.

ohiogozaimasu4

Bill Kristol has already been saying that we need to expand the Supreme Court. That means that it's automatically the centrist position now. Any serious candidate for president in 2028 *must* have expanding the SC as part of their platform. At this point, it's a mandatory requirement.

slindquist.bsky.social4

Any Dem who will not commit to court expansion needs to be primaried and voted out. I will not vote For anyone who is reticent about this.

Russell Huegel4

The power behind the Supreme Court’s to its longevity is public confidence in its decisions that they are on the level. Once that evaporates, anything is possible.

Ken Shelton3

The only pathway forward is complete SCOTUS reform. Eliminate life time appointments, expand to at least match the number of circuit courts, and processes to hold justices accountable for things like ethics, gifts, and hearing cases of which an obvious conflict exists.

David Bonowitz2

... just gonna quietly repost one from a long thread a few months ago ... bsky.app/profile/dbon...

BobbiefromIL2

bsky.app/profile/murs... THIS is THE shot across the bow for all Democrats. Refusing to REFORM SCOTUS is a betrayal of our Children & Grandchildren whose Democratic Legacy is being ripped from its anchors by Robert’s’ racist Court. Those unwilling, must step aside for those who are ready to do so.

There really is no group of Americans more vile and evil than conservative white men…and Clarance Thomas who thinks he’s a conservative white man.

What we are witnessing is what Conservative Ideologues believe about you and I They believe we are SERFS. We are ONLY here to do the bidding of the elite During the 2020 election I only wanted one thing if Biden wins: PACK THE SC! And pack it w 10 new justices! NONE of this would be happening.

While I've been unhappy with increasing endorsements by Indivisible, protecting voting rights is critical to protecting our democracy. Thank you for describing the danger of the Callais decision and reminding us that we cannot stop fighting these efforts to silence minorities and the poor.

What I think about this ruling...

codeMonkey238

I love you George, and you're a useful club with which to beat the administration, but my money will be going to AOC and most people further left. You would not do enough. You would not be afraid enough. Motivated enough. Someone who would remake the supreme court, restore voting rights, prosecute.

sonnysmithnyc.bsky.social7

Well… ya kinda helped put the people who made this happen

massholio.bsky.social6

I love you George but you might want to sit this one out since this has been the goal of the Federalist Society for decades.

apbarry.bsky.social3

George, you and your Federalist Society friends built this court. This is more "George's court" than Trump's.

Mathew Strack3

which court reform proposal do you support?

OutJustInTime7

But impeachment is not a priority. Neither is packing the court. Jeffries is going to go all out by sending out ten fundraising emails a day instead of five.

Lol okay, do something Jeffries. At least Pelosi seemed to get shit done.

danc1982.bsky.social4

Jefferies isn't wrong here but he needs to more consistently act like the problem is real, take off the gloves, and throw real punches.

mahatma68896892.bsky.social3

They should face the music. Disqualified to begin with and all their decisions overturned. Ethics violations should also be dealt with.

frenchie-66.bsky.social3

Same Supreme Court allows racial Profiling for ICE if a person speaks a foreign language or has brown skin. So let's be clear, the Court does see "Color" just not when it favors a district.

Aubrey2

Jeffries gets a little more worked up when he remembers he’s black but not so much when he’s cosplaying the leader of the opposition party. But he and Chuck will workshop some ideas about it with their donors and come out feckless. Again. And again. And again. Prove me wrong.

LeviathanCross272

He needs to bring that kind of energy with him to the House every single day. Put some fire in your voice! Stand up and give us all something to rally around. We are ready to see congressional Democrats go on the offensive. We don’t have to wait until the midterms. Start making their lives hell now.

The Later Years Journal2

Today's ruling is a reminder of the gains taken away after Reconstruction for which so many shed their blood for. Red states have already pouncing!

John DesMarteau MD FACA2

Hakeem Jeffries is wrong. If Dems take back the House but do not use their new power to enforce accountability, given they won’t have the power to lower prices, the Republican Party will continue their overreach antics and voters will be once again disappointed in the Democratic Party.

It's just so disgusting that he denigrates these record-breaking astronauts, hauling them in there just to talk about himself and his bullshit ballroom, using them as props. It is fucking disgusting. They have achieved so much more than that bloated fool.

Ginger Joe3

Come on …you can’t make this stuff up. That was his response. The room is filled with adults, I suspect. The president is focused on an illegal ballroom. He is not governing now he is designing. Hmmm is that a thing. I didn’t know that was an n the job description.
