Need to prepare a test case that they will take to reconsider the immunity issue. That takes time. But here's what we do now, do the work to make sure that the pumpkin head never returns to the White House. Vote carefully up and down the ballot. 💙 There is no shame in voting for an old ugly guy who knows how to get an amazing amount of legislation across the finish line. FDR was an old guy who was disabled; but got a lot of legislation done, stood up to SCOTUS when they threatened the New Deal, got us through the Great Depression and World War Two. Old guy. LBJ was an old ugly guy with big ears and an intense personality. He got a lot of legislation done, the Great Society, Civil Rights legislation, etc. Got a lot done before he was basically defeated by Vietnam. Old guys, sonetimes they know how to get legislation done. Getting things done, I'm for it! 💙🌊💙🌊 How about this GOP House? Are they getting things done? Hmm ... Weve got work to do. Stop talkiing, get to work. Volunteer with a community office, door knocking, talking to neighbors and friends and co workers, adding a voter registration table to the block party. Get to work, get voting. 🗽💙🗽

Thank you, Ari, for doing what you do. You are bringing back good memories of one of my high school teachers who taught constitutional law to the seniors. Constitutional law for working class kids in the Bronx! Huzzah! We should do more of that! Lots of conversations about Miranda rights, unreasonable search and seizure, habeas corpus, and how to spot a SCOTUS decision that was vulnerable for reversal down the line. I feel myself thinking about that a lot, because we have a lot of work to do to prepare the test cases that can reverse and clean up this mess. 🗽
