Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.
As A Christian, I remind you that Jesus was a gun-loving nationalist who opposed abortion, immigration, labor unions, gay rights & Communists.
Oh wait; did I say Jesus?
Sorry, I meant Hitler.
Jesus did none of that.
That was all Hitler’s agenda.
To any Democrat saying we shouldn’t expand the court: If Republicans were in our position, they wouldn’t wait A MINUTE to change the structure of the court.
They literally already did when McConnell denied Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland.
Gloves off. Fuck this.
For the moments when we DO insist on elections, we must be PRECISE with what we need and we will do with that power:
How many seats does the party need to Codify Roe?
Dems must SAY THAT. Not just “go vote” or “give us $6 to win.” That is demoralizing, losing, unfocused nonsense
‼️This! It’s time Dems are held accountable for their INACTION. To what end must we continue to vote? We need new and better leadership who is willing to do WHATEVER it takes to protect Americans. I’m tired of fake outrage, hearings & committees. Maybe you can lead the way @AOC?
The President & Dem leaders can no longer get away with familiar tactics of “committees” and “studies” to avoid tackling our crises head-on anymore:
- Restrain judicial review
- Open clinics on federal lands
- Court expansion
- Expand Fed access/awareness of pill abortions
- etc
And no more excuse of they can’t get anything done when we have elected a dem majority in both house and senate. Find a pair and figure out a way. #RoeVsWade#AbortionBan
If a pro-life politician crowing about today’s decision ever paid for your abortion and it feels like the right time to talk about it, my email is Anna.merlan@vice.com
So let’s wake up everybody! What’s good Democrats! If you don’t like what I’ve laid out here, then please present YOUR plan instead of little “why we can’t” lists!!
Let’s cut the handwringing and get moving! Chop chop! No more showtunes till November unless it’s for GOTV!!
Dem leaders must tell voters the plan:
What’s the *actual* need? Which specific seats are we focused on? WHAT votes do we need & WHERE (what states races?)
And, what’s the return? What is Biden/Congress ACTUALLY willing able to do at 52/60 seats?
Be honest. Details motivate
Refresher on what a “pro-life” agenda ACTUALLY looks like:
- gun safety laws
- taking action on climate change
- protecting LGBT rights
- healthcare for all
- expanding pre-natal care
- expanding mental healthcare
- expanding childcare
- universal preschool
- free school meals
Ginni Thomas sent messages to the White House about a plan to get the Supreme Court to overturn the election.
Clarence Thomas voted to keep White House messages about the insurrection secret.
And you think a leaked draft opinion is the ethics crisis facing the Supreme Court?
