It’s time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced | Ryan Doerfler and Samuel Moyn We need to remake the US high court so Americans don’t suffer future decades of oligarchy-facilitating rule

'Too often, though, liberals are responding with nostalgia for a court that cares about its high standing. There is a much better option: to grasp the opportunity to set right the supreme court’s role in US democracy.'

The Watch Word is #illegitimacy.

Heather Cox Richardson 8/20/25 REPUBLICANS PROJECT FALSE VICTORIES GUT VOTING RIGHTS ACT Increasingly, Republicans treated Democratic victories as illegitimate and worked to prevent them. In 2000, Republican operatives rioted to shut down a recount in Florida that might have given Democrat Al Gore the presidency. Then, when voters elected Democratic president Barack Obama in 2008, Republican operatives launched Operation REDMAP—Republican Redistricting Majority Project—to take control of statehouses before the 2010 census and gerrymander states to keep control of the House of Representatives and prevent the Democrats from passing legislation. In that same year, the Republican-dominated Supreme Court reversed a century of campaign finance restrictions to permit corporations and other groups from outside the electoral region to spend unlimited money on elections. Three years after the Citizens United decision, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act that protected minority voting.

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

Trump has ordered NASA to destroy two major climate satellites, as his fossil fuel overlords demand. That will severely impair our ability to forecast and respond to severe weather and related disasters.

"Maybe they have upstanding reputations because of the work they do...,and they don’t necessarily want to be identified with this kind of indiscriminate targeting of immigrants.And that reluctance to be identified as engaging in those activities really highlights the #illegitimacy of those actions."

The records of the Salvation Army Mother’s Hospitals are fabulous. The staff are amazingly helpful too.
I cracked a mystery with some documents they provided, which named the father of my great grandmother (his name was not on her birth cert).

"The policing of #illegitimacy and any family type considered ‘deviant’ was used to justify atrocities against children and their families, including the Irish Mother and Baby Homes scandal, forced adoptions, or the institutionalisation of children throughout the British empire." True in the USA.

Just watched last night’s Dickensian. Need to ring my sister. #sisters #babies #childbirth #illegitimacy
