We knew this ruling was coming and were powerless to stop it. We can predict with near certainty what other freedoms, fought for so hard and for so long, that we have known for 50+ years will soon be wrested away from us. All we seem able to do is voice our dismay and sign petitions that can go nowhere unless the filibuster is tweaked or overridden and SCOTUS is expanded, and be grateful we lived most of our lives in progressive times. What will likely be happening is not how I envisioned my last years on earth.
Forget tweaking the filibuster; eliminate it. It gives the minority the leeway to control the agenda. Frankly, McConnell is just a little less powerful as minority leader. He still kills legislation that the voters want. Expand the Court. It is unconscionable that 6 extreme right wing people, 3 of whom are on the Court illegitimately, should control the health and destinies of millions of women, girls and families.
We knew it was coming. We didn’t know of Thomas’s roadmap to gut the remainder of privacy laws. And let’s take note. This is no longer the Roberts Court. It is the Thomas/Alito court.
You bet. We're in for some tough times...UNLESS we can get out the blue vote in November and start working on abolishing the filibuster and expanding SCOTUS.

Yes.

When they tell you who they are, believe them.
Absolutely right!

Indeed!
I'm quite willing to martyr myself to get back what has been stolen. I hope a few tens of millions are on the same page as I am.
Me neither. I am sick. So dismayed 😧
