As bad as things are, I've never seen such an encouraging public response to a horrendous Supreme Court decision. Not after Dobbs, not after Trump v. U.S. The people are done with this shit. Time to take our power back from these corrupt justices. courtaccountability.substack.com/p/the-court-...

💯 When Biden had majorities in both chambers (with VP the Senate tie-breaker), Dems should have expanded the Court to 13 seats. (First remove the filibuster to get law through the Senate). Power to wield, not waste. Instead, he formed a commission that created a report and then he took no action.

Contact your lawmakers NOW and urge them to say NO to this scam 👉 bit.ly/NoFedVouchers

Former AZ Senate President Steve Yarbrough already makes $125K/year pushing vouchers. Now, his company ACTSO is trying to force federal vouchers in AZ 🚩🚩🚩 💰Why? Because private organizations like ACSTO are able to take a 10% cut of every voucher. A federal expansion means MILLIONS more in profits 😡

One of the things we <actually> teach students at universities is that you need to support your arguments with data & evidence. When you don’t, or when you lie, your “arguments” are not taken seriously. Maybe that’s what these folks don’t like about universities. The marketplace of ideas is tough 🤷‍♂️
