Where we're going, we don't need the constitution!

...because we're going into fascism.

Can we just skip the part where we challenge the admin in court? We know the outcome. Even if ruled against the admin they are just going to ignore the ruling and keep doing what they want.

People need to start getting thrown in jail, just for the weekend, to send a message. Start there and if they keep going make it a month

All the “b-b-b-but states rights” republicans can get fucked

I remember being taught by a teacher as a kid (in a red town) that the Civil War was fought primarily over states rights, which I guess meant that the economy built on the foundation of owning human beings was secondary to that?

At least when Roe v Wade was struck down they could still stick to that message— but now that blue states are trying to go against the grain of what federal republicans want instead of the other way around, they seem awful silent about it
