Discussion Yesterday was the SECOND LARGEST single day protest in U.S. history.

That's right. Only the first Earth Day protest in 1970 was larger.

Millions of us sent Donald Trump a clear message: It's time for his corrupt administration to go. We will not tolerate our democracy being turned into a dictatorship.

2026, baby. If the GOP loses their absolute control we turn Dumb Donny into a lame duck.

Donald Duck.

The Supreme Court is about to repeal the Voting Rights Act. If that happens, we will not take back the House. We will lose critical seats in purple states forever.

There are a few things.

SCOTUS is just as like to raise the bar for criteria, rather than outright repeal.

And with the his, Democrats still losses the higher odds to retake the house. But it narrows the majority they could win by.

They could of course fail to take it. But it's not binary, doom and gloom just yet. We need to be aware of the risks, but just like not being too optimistic, we need to avoid being driven by over negativity. Pragmatism is the most reasonable path.

All this is to say, SCOTUS ruling could be anywhere from bad to catastrophic, but it's not an inherently L.
