We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
They have no shame, no conscience, these Republicans.
On the Clarence court, their taking bribes, perjuring themselves, and corrupting today’s law to serve that of the era of medieval witchcraft all self-exhibit.
When one has no respect for “others,” for the variations in American life, one can arrogate one’s ideology and impose it cookie-cutter on all.
And so congressional Republicans seek to outdo the vulgarity on the Clarence court. A presidential candidate who’s convicted in court, by a jury o…
They serve the moneyed interests, the liars, the cheats, the greedy, the exploiters of both people and the planet. They do not serve the American people whom they attempt to disenfranchise. It you're not writing postcards to folks who haven't voted recently, now is the time to start.
Postcards, Betsy?
How much good will they do so long as all U.S. K-12 serves primarily the billionaire standardized testers, in schools so intimidated that all just anymore teach to the test?
How much good will they do so long as all U.S. higher ed serves the corporate that has neutered all in silos (& personal safety identity zones) where no humanities need apply?
I believe they were effective in the midterms during Trump's presidency to preserve the Democratic majority in the House. Postcard writing helped motivate people to vote by stirring them from their political hopelessness. The example of John Lewis' battle cry to "get in good trouble" remains pertinent today. It is a cry to do something; rather than to observe history, to be part of it; to be influential in some small way. By how many votes did Bush win Florida?
Good points, Russell.
Especially re Florida 2000.
Though not sure about your "By how many votes did Bush win Florida?" Not sure because the far-right Supreme Court of that era would not countenance any actual final, legitimate counting of the votes then.
Our far right has long thought itself entitled to wreck its will upon the land -- damn any who think otherwise.
Oh, I agree that Bush likely didn't win Florida; that the Supreme Court interfered with — short circuited —the process of determining the legitimacy of the vote count. Contrastingly, all of Trump's spurious court challenges after his loss were given consideration.
I totally remember that moment, when they stopped the count. The count probably would have elected Al Gore, but it would have taken many more days of counting. That ending of the count was a Republican Overtake. GW managed the rigging of becoming the fake winner. He was so determined, and then he and Dick Cheyney and Donald Rumsfeld (and a fourth Republican) got what they had planned to do, go after the Iranian oil. They did not succeed.
