As a senior, I am thrilled to see these young women stepping up and ‘going where no one has gone before’ and fighting for our democracy, for the Constitution, and -simply - for what is right! Love this new program and the energy these women bring to the table.

I’m Canadian or I would sign up. I think your general strike is another good option to fight back against Trumps illegal corruption. 👏🤞🇨🇦🇺🇸

Another Canadian here, I totally agree! A general strike would send a very powerful message.

With a moral Congress, several Justices could be impeached because they lied at their confirmation hearings

I’d say all 6 of the GQP SCOTUS jurists could be impeached! But we have to make sure there is a midterm election and that we take back both houses of Congress, and then win back the White House in 2028 and appoint 6 new ones that will swiftly undo the damage this one has, and will, continue to do!

While we need the power of the States, look at what the SCOTUS has done to California! I have not heard of any progress appealing that gross decision, but there we are with States pushing back and not succeeding.......

The supreme court is demonstrated its a subversive organization. The Trump immunity decision showed they were acting in bad faith and recieving backdoor renumeration from trump donors.

The more we say the sooner the court will postpone there planned agenda to eliminate the reconstruction amendments

I have nothing against old people (I consider myself one); but I find it so refreshing to see younger Americans stepping up in positions of government and also for taking a more active role in the voting process. 🍻🥂🍻 (3 cheers)

How we fix the supreme court: Next president (and there WILL BE ANOTHER PRESIDENT) installs 15 year term limits, effective immedietly. This gets rid of at least Alito and Thomas, but doesn't appear to be a direct attack on Trump as it would keep his picks in place (if we tried to remove his three once he's gone, it will send MAGA into a dangerous uproar and set a precedent of US Presidents being able to remove the judges placed by those that came before them. That would be a bad thing.) Then we expand the court from 9 to 11. Would this be an uphill battle? YES. Is it worth pushing for anyway?ABSOLUTELY, YES. Because along with these changes, we also strengthen judicial ethics rules, such as judges not being able to accept ANY outside funds, personal or private, that could potentially sway their vote. Do not give in to negative cynicism. Every disaster brings another opportinity for change for the better.

“When we acknowledge that things are bad, then we don’t sit and kind of just go around in circles about how bad things are, (but) we plug in to give people tools and an optimism to make things better,” Rachel Cohen. Yes! This!

Those of us in Red states really need the tools you’re offering! Indiana is like Ohio, with a supermajority State Legislature and former US Senator Mike Braun is Governor. The last time IN turned blue was when Obama got elected!

"Donald Trump, Like Hitler, is a Psychopath"

By far the most dangerous of all mental disorders, since behaving in a morally reprehensible way is an essential part of its nature.
