I am ANGRY.

At SCOTUS, whose members outright lie about their intentions during confirmation, giving politicians like Senator Collins the cover they need to vote for someone they either knew, or should have known, would lead to this very moment.

At the Federalist Society who has waged an insidious, long-term, successful campaign to build a court that will happily enact their agenda.

At the Republican party who has abandoned every democratic principle our nation was founded on. They have cynically gamed the system to gain and keep power, with no regard to the cost it has imposed upon us.

They have succeeded by stoking fear and anger in those they now embrace, and it is long past time for the Democratic party to use this moment to do the same. It is time to instill fear and anger in every voter about the agenda of the radical and extreme GOP, and exactly where they will lead our country if given the reins of power.

1. A federal law banning abortion throughout the entire US. 2. A repeal of the Affordable Care Act, replacing it with something not affordable, and lacking the protections for pre-existing conditions. 3. The end to Social Security and Medicare.

I honestly don't want to hear from anyone about how they couldn't get these things passed without a 60 vote majority in the Senate or a Democratic President who would not sign them into law. It doesn't matter - it's where they want to lead us. Does anyone doubt that McConnell would end the filibuster or other Senate rules if it served his purpose? Does anyone doubt that Manchin or Sinema can be bought?

It's also long past time to stop putting the burden of women's rights on the shoulders of women alone. Men who love their wives, sisters, daughters and granddaughters need to start voting to protect their rights as well. If a woman is forced to give birth, it affects them, their brothers, their sons as well, because courts will still be in favor of exacting 18 years of child support from them.

It is time to mobilize the masses around our anger. It is time for each of us to be willing to stand in line for however many hours it takes to cast our votes. It is time for the younger generation, progressives, and minority voters to stop threatening to stay home because President Biden didn't pass legislation canceling student debt, or enacting universal child-care, or reforming the judicial system with a 5 seat majority in the House and a 50-50 Senate. If they want to threaten to stay home during the midterms, do it. See where that gets you and our country.
