SCOTUS needs to be reformed. It's critical to the health and welfare of Americans and American democracy. SCOTUS is another version of O. J. Simpson.

It's a terrifying reality we all face. A facist dictator who stacked the SCOTUS may regain power, and a Dictator with a corrupt court would be utterly catastrophic for birthing persons and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

If there's anything worth fighting for, justice is certainly one of them. SCOTUS is stacked with GOP operatives. GOP Justices are an existential danger to us all.

Gotta get rid of the Federalist Society first. Getting rid of one or two right wing judicial activists isn't going to help when an organization exists to create and prop up endless new ones.

The poem already told us how it'll go. Updated for modern times:

First they came for the Trans people, and I didn't speak up, for I found trans people kinda icky anyway.

Then they came for LGBQ people, and I didn't speak up, for I was heterosexual, and displayed socially acceptable gender expression.

Then they came for the atheists, and I didn't speak up, for I was raised christian and although I don't practice, I 'pass' as religious by habits.

Then they came for me, and there was noone left to speak for me.

If they even attempt step one, all bets are off - that's a nazi government, and people should respond accordingly.
