I've been predicting the fall from grace for America for a number of years, based on income inequality alone…
As far back as Reagan…as this is nothing new.

Democracy is dying.

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.
