And then changed the laws to ensure it didn’t happen again.

came here to say exactly this and it was SWIFT

Weird how Congress can move fast if it affects those in power.

Exactly

Thank you, after I posted it I became despondent at the idea of looking at it again to transcribe the text. It's too depressing.

I remember that. Right-wingers started screeching and demanding more protection for Justices even though protesters stayed in legal areas and had no weapons.

My congressman, Andy Kim, who will soon be a senator, voted for the extremely rushed within a day democratic party bill to give the Supreme Court extra security so they can feel safe while taking away abortion.

SMDH!!!

Dang, I still remember getting arrested multiple times protesting Kavanagh's hearings. Plenty of us tried to create momentum to fight this court and most folks preferred to stay at home on their fainting couches.

Thank you for your activism 💙

Likewise!

yes Clara Jeffery was and is very much part of that fight www.motherjones.com/topics/brett...

Mother Jones: Brett Kavanaughwww.motherjones.com

Clara is fucking awful, actually.

She was at the protests?

...are you making a joke about how she only has a single, co-written article in the list you linked to?

no she's the EIC

I'm aware because I looked it up. Most people wouldn't even go that far. Not the best way to make your point. I'm also still not sure "allowed her reporters to do stories on the topic" is fully making your point either..

my point is simply that I don't think Jeffery &/or Mother Jones called the SCOTUS protesters terrorists

on which side, again??

Lmao

The libs were wrong again. News at 11.

Confronting SCJs while they sit in their million dollar homes sipping the blood of Christ? That’s beyond the pale.

You need things like CIVILITY and DECORUM and PROPRIETY, gosh darn it.

Those words will be etched in the granite of USA’s tomvstone.

weird how these all sound like synonyms for obedience! probably nothing!

If there’s ever a wrong side of a debate you can guarantee Clara’s gonna be on it

Funny rejoinder but Mother Jones, where Jeffery is EIC, was on the protesters' side.

Protesters showed up outside Brett Kavanaugh's home, and the tone police lost its mindwww.motherjones.com “Asking for civility in the face of systemic violence is playing right into the oppressors’ hand.”

Clara Jeffery is awful and has ruined Mother Jones.

Better hug more cops and wear funnier hats next time I guess.

a lot of people seem to think "protesting the government" means only: -gathering outside government buildings, but not in a way that disturbs their normal use -holding signs and MAYBE getting some chants going, nothing louder than like 6 people speaking at normal volume tho -talking to reporters

NATIONAL STRIKE

Michael Scott: I. DECLARE. GENERAL STRIKE. Oscar: you can’t just say the words “general strike” and expect anything to happen. MS: I didn’t say it, I declared it.

I keep thinking about Trump doing this while ordering drone strikes on poll workers and teachers.

Protest, write your newspaper, complain to elected officials and, above all else, vote. Vote and tell everyone else to vote Blue. The GOP has been working on this since 1980. It will not go quietly. Push them out. As someone else said, the GOP understands it will never win a popular election again.

i feel like this puts WAY too much faith in the voting public but i appreciate your confidence

I think it's more accurate to say the GOP knows it will never win a FAIR popular election again.

She appears unaware the giant uptick post-Roe in people, especially those with uteruses, getting permanently sterilized on purpose and often at great personal expense. Not every protest is people with handcrafted signs yelling for 2 hours in a carefully corralled area.

widen the screencap I wanna know how bad she got ratioed....

You know shits bad when they don't end their tweets with "Moreover, ICE must be destroyed"

It really is wild how so many liberals would rather get sad over bad stuff happening rather than actually fight to change it back or prevent it from happening at all

this mf is complaining about the lack of unruly left i s2g

Praxis, but only in approved ways and in a manner respectful and decorous towards established power hierarchies.

they are so fucking shameless

We're paying for the extra security and cops for staying a "respectable distance" away.

I love when people say “why isn’t everyone in the streets over this?” Like where the fuck are you? Sitting on your ass at home demanding other people do the work? Organize it! Put it together. See how “easy” it is to do. Then see how you end up responsible for anyone’s injury or death.
