It's time to break this rogue court.

It is issuing decisions that are a parody of judicial reasoning and which constitute a radical power grab--a judicial coup.

Whether by enlargement or an express legislative limitation of the court's review powers, it's time to end this antidemocratic attack on our society.

I'm just fucking done. Past done.

And yeah--I know nothing can happen until/unless we retake the House and extend control of the Senate beyond the Manchinema roadblock.

Back when I was a kid, I used to eagerly watch Walter Cronkite's *The 21st Century* every Sunday. It tried to predict future developments in science & technology. Somehow, ol' Walt never saw how petty & stupid the future might be.

Okay I admit it, AI isn't completely useless. Every time I tune into this twitch stream, I practically die laughing. Watching AI Trump and AI Biden spar and respond to the chat makes for some great entertainment.

@MissingThePt that’s what is blowing my mind about all of this. The students who brought the suit think that all students will now be admitted solely on merit. 😂 Apparently, studying the history of colleges in the US pre affirmative action wasn’t part of their curriculum. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I've blogged about why this happened:

After 2020, it appeared the major social platforms were making progress on civic and election integrity, say @bridgetobarrett and @kreissdaniel . Those gains have reversed- now the picture looks more like it did in 2016:
