Today marks the end of what is surely one of the worst terms in #SCOTUS history.

Today marks the end of what is surely one of the worst terms in #SCOTUS history. Guns and prayer and abortion got most of the attention. But that’s not all the Court did. Here are just some of the Court’s bad decisions:

this year, the Supreme Court has

1) made abortion illegal
2) made school prayer legal
3) make gun control illegal
4) overturned Miranda rights
5) made it illegal for the EPA to regulate emissions

at this point, expanding the court is a moderate response to an extremist court

Climate change is making hurricanes like Ida worse. As the planet warms, storms:

◾️ are more likely to be larger and stronger
◾️ move more slowly and drop more rain
◾️ intensify faster, like how quickly Ida went from a Category 1 to a Category 4https://t.co/KXWChygUtE pic.twitter.com/LPEJBFxVre

You can’t just denounce capitalism when addressing climate change. It isn’t just an economical system that’s killing the land and water. It’s an interconnected imperialist, colonial capitalist and white supremacist system that’s killing the land and life.
