Ignorantia juris non excusat. Ignorance of the law excuses not.
America is objectively, measurably, ignorant, trapped in bubbles, and we collectively did little to lift each other out. We are going to face justice for it.
Can't wait to see all the sad Pikachu faces when he guts union protections and outlaws public sector unions altogether. "Can't wait"
