Senator Warren is on my TV telling the truth
Thank god for this woman. And for the Vice President who was not fucking around today either. Joe, OTOH, needs to shake off the Catholic guilt and step up.
Kill the filibuster. It is the only way.
In the meantime, this moron — who has to post purple stationery instead of doing a thread like a normal person — needs a serious talking to by serious people. Manchin too. Those two need to get on board or get investigated. Primary Sinema either way.
Send Tom Steyer in to give them a better deal than the Kochs if you have to. IDGAF. They need to get on the train or get on the tracks in front of it.
We need to kill the filibuster, fix the vote and codify Roe before the mid-terms. The Supreme Court is planning on effectively murdering women after lying to the Congress and the American people about what they intended to do. Next stop: gay marriage, civil rights, voting rights. Then it will truly be the Supremacist Court.
And while we’re at it, Biden needs to put pressure on Merrick Garland or replace him. Fuck DOJ norms. Make them laws and then follow those. In the meantime, we need to show that there is accountability or we will lose the mid-terms. If that happens, it’s all over.
If we do manage to save the mid-terms, next we impeach Trump’s judges. They are perjurers and they were installed by an illegitimate president who was operating for an enemy nation-state. Get serious. Fix the Court.

If those 5 SCOTUS justices wore balaclavas with their robes, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and an ISIS terrorist.
The Catholic Church, of which I once had a good feeling about, has a proven record of child sexual assault and cover-up. Not all priests by a long shot, but a disturbingly high number that includes some at the highest level. The cover-up runs wide and deep. All this is known and acknowledged, even by the Church itself. The power this organization has is staggering. Many followers find hope and solace, but that this organization is viewed by many powerful people in and around politics as their guiding light in the narrowest sense of religious interpretation, is a danger to our country. Religious extremists, Catholic and otherwise, must not control our government. Whether it's an allegiance over the US constitution to Rome, Israel or the "Word of God" in fundamentalist Protestantism, it all needs to be pushed to the backseat of our political life. Our founding fathers understood this and warned against it. Putting a religion, leader, oligarchy, or any other concentrated form of power over the rights and power of the people as given to us in the constitution and Bill of Rights is un-American and not what our country is supposed to be about. Its what the colonists fought against in the Revolutionary War. I respect if a person does not believe abortion is the moral choice for them, but it should not be the law of the land. The fact that folks want to ban it even in the case of rape, incest, and danger to the mother's life shows how extreme and anti-women this movement is. Must be stopped.
