So let’s do a quick recap of the #IniquitousSix that currently hold the majority on SCOTUS to really get a clear picture of just how big of a dumpster-fire of corruption and illegitimacy the highest court of the nation has become (Thread)
1.) Clarence Thomas
—Accepted luxury vacations and gifts from a Nazi billionaire for the past 20 years in exchange for votes in his favor before the court
—Worked with his wife to overturn the 2020 election via the January 6th insurrection and organizing groups to lobby Congress
2.) John Roberts
—Wife made $10.3 million from law firms that, “were likely appearing or seeking to appear before the court.”
—Has gutted the Voting Rights Act, ending preclearance requirements for laws limiting voting access on the basis of race/color
3.) Brett Kavanaugh
—Credibly accused of rape at his confirmation hearing, screamed he liked beer, and cried
—Still no public information on why Kennedy abruptly retired, who paid off his mortgage as well as hundreds of thousands of debt and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat
4.) Neil Gorsuch
—Didn’t disclose who bought property he co-owned just days after his confirmation. The buyer was a lawyer whose firm has had “robust” business before the court—at least 22 cases since the deal, Politico reported.

5.) Samuel Alito
—Leaked the Dobbs case and the 2014 Hobby Lobby decision to the public via a “stealth missionary”
—Aided Roberts in his crusade to gut the VRA
—Wrote the majority opinion to unconstitutionally overturn Roe and strip over 167 million Americans of bodily autonomy
6.) Amy Coney Barrett
—Never tried a single case
—Served as a “handmaid” for ‘the People of Praise’, a small religious community founded in South Bend, Indiana in 1971 that opposes abortion and touts a ‘conservative approach to gender & family structures.’ forbes.com/sites/jemimamc…
Two of these appointments were seats STOLEN from Democrats. McConnell blocked President Obama from replacing Scalia for 330 days because it “was an election year,” then he rammed through Amy Coney Barrett to replace RBG while the 2020 election HAD ALREADY STARTED.
5 of them were appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote yet managed to “win” via the electoral college.

3 of them were appointed by a traitorous criminal who was never legitimately elected & only obtained “victory” by conspiring with our enemies to attack our election
And ALL OF THEM LIED in their confirmation hearings when asked about their position on Roe and Casey as important judicial precedent that should not be overturned. If you lie in a regular job interview, you get fired. This is THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE U.S.
Meanwhile, the Justices are the only judges in America who aren’t bound to a code of ethics and ‘Chief Justice’ John Roberts refuses to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee to address the growing scandals swirling around his illegitimate court. cnn.com/2023/04/25/pol…

So this seems perfectly fine and not an act of pure ignominious desperation to recoup lost advertising revenue through fraud. Image
The thing that pisses me off the most about @elonmusk and his blatant attempts to destroy a platform I spent the last six years working to build a following on is that as content creators, we work for free. And about 5% of us produce approximately 90% of the content on here.
I was approved for subscribers (originally called ‘super followers’) about 8 months ago, which allows people who want to to pay a small monthly fee to support content creators they really like and also get additional exclusive content just for them. It was and is an honor for me.

Book banning by the @GOP in states like FL gives us a glimpse of the kind of despotic control the far right favors. @ThePlumLineGS highlights how arbitrary these bans are as well as how they are going after “a wide variety of titles under the guise of targeting ‘pornography.’” Image

Tiffany Justice—co-founder of the right-wing book-purging organization “Moms for Liberty”—offered a righteous-sounding answer when asked this past weekend what sort of book she wants to see remain in schools.

“Books that don’t have pornography in them” she piously declared.

The @GOP wants to abolish the Department of Education and is passing bills to whitewash history, ban books, and subject matter because they know that there is not a single reason to support their party when it comes to facts, science, truth, data, logic, knowledge, or reasoning.
Take any political issue and look up what the empirical data from research studies published in actual scientific/academic journals suggests we should do and it’s the exact opposite of what the Republican position is. They’re literally just wrong on every single fucking thing.
Climate change: they won’t even acknowledge it’s real

Guns: They won’t pass common sense reform & suggest more guns as a solution

Abortion: They want to force raped children to go through pregnancy, labor, and parenthood

Healthcare: They want to rip it from tens of millions

Thank you to the South Carolina Senators who filibustered this absolutely grotesque bill passed by the SC House that would “ban all abortion after conception.” (So ban abortion and potentially criminalize miscarriage and stillbirth). The bill is now dead for the rest of the year. Image
It’s so tragic that these are the victories we have to celebrate in the wake of the illegitimate 6 overturning Roe. And there’s still a chance that the SC House could pass a 6-week abortion ban (before most women even know they’re pregnant) before the session ends next week.
The issue isn’t when “life” begins. It’s whether you consider GIRLS/WOMEN human beings who should be able to decide what happens to their own bodies or you think state governments should mandate pregnancy even for child rape victims, making you completely inhuman.

BREAKING: Trump’s lawyers have asked the @HouseGOP to intervene by enacting a new law to protect the twice-impeached ex-president from the DOJ probe into his illegal retention of classified documents and his efforts to obstruct that investigation.

This is FUCKING INSANITY.
There’s obstruction of justice, corruption of the judiciary, extortion of officials, etc. But I feel like we need an entire new term for a criminal ex-POTUS asking THE LAWS TO BE CHANGED so he can’t be held accountable for breaking them. Also, you need both chambers to pass laws.
Laws can originate in either chamber of Congress. But they cannot take effect until they pass both chambers. So even if enough House Republicans were willing to get behind this absolute paragon of criminal conduct and pass such a bill, the Dem senate would never even touch it.

If you are a veteran, the family member of a veteran, or a current member of our armed forces, know that as you dedicate your life to defending this nation, the Republican House majority just passed a bill that would strip millions of you from benefits, healthcare, and housing.
They tried to strip those of you suffering from cancer as the result of exposure to toxic burn pits from receiving treatment last year.

Their nominee for 2024 is a man who faked a foot injury to avoid the draft 5 times; disparaged war heroes; and called you “losers and suckers.”
They pretend to “support our troops” while consistently voting to strip you of fundamental, critical, and well-earned assistance. They call themselves “patriots” while perjuring their oaths of office to try to overturn our elections and suppress the will of the American people.
