Another day another coup

SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!

I believe in nonviolence, in debate, in figuring shit out w/o resorting to what #Trump did #Jan6. I don’t want to abandon my values. Where are the MOTHERFUCKING SAFEGUARDS the aspirationally pacific founders put into place to avert this shite?

Right…SCOTUS

#SCOTUS allows Trump to remove consumer product safety regulators

Trump admin fired 3 Democratic members of the #CPSC as part of its effort to consolidate #power.

The Supreme Court...? You mean the one that on July 1st 2024 granted the President of the United States immunity for all acts done while in office?

That SCOTUS?

Keeping in mind that he actually plotted and held an insurrection and not only was nothing done about it (other than a few brownshirts shortly pardoned), but they actually made him the fucking President.

That's not what the Supreme Court ruling said.

Not only did the Supreme Court not Grant the president immunity for all acts done while in office, but the ruling actually went the other direction, laying out that he would be subject to prosecution and the ruling kicked the matter down for further prosecution.

Yes, a lot of social media posts got that wrong. But it's all right there in the ruling for anyone who's interested to see.

@volkris
Your not disagreeing with me.

Your disagreeing with a Supreme Court Justice.

@clintruin Yes, Stotomayor often does say things that are profoundly wrong, and anyone paying attention should proudly disagree with her, calling her out for getting it so wrong.

Otherwise the faulty positions that she keeps promoting will just continue to mislead the public.

Other Supreme Court justices realize how problematic it is for her to be selling this misinformation, so we should all join in to forcefully express our disagreement with the misperceptions that she promotes.
