Leonard Leo's hand-crafted Supreme Court swings wildly from shredding the constitution to avoiding it altogether ... all to serve the king they crowned.
I’ve tried really hard not to cry since January 20, 2025. This makes me weep with sorrow and rage. We will get through this, but nothing will ever be the same. We will be a nation in mourning for a decade or so. We can thank the Republican Party for this disaster.
Crying is no option now. Engagement and activity is vital. Join Indivisible.org and find your place to fight back. Of course you can make a difference. The black population have been fighting back for decades Now white people need to step up and protest and get them out of the office ASAP.
I am watching this happening from Norway where we have normaly functioning gowernment with schock!!! At times it looked like the Supreme court would be the last line of defence from your lunitique wannabe dictator. I would not express his name but designate him by No 47. The worst president of the USA ever!!! I hope and pray for your well being, but your only hope is you have to extend the MASPROTEST into a weekly occurance. According to estimates I have seen you met in millions in the streets. You have to continiue and step it up a level. Are you able to make it to 10-15 millions? I urge you to register with Indivisible.org or similar organisation. Bring friends and family members. You have NOOOOO time to loose. Especially all white people need to pay a special attention now. The BLACK population have been marching for years trying to stop your lunitique REPUBLICAN presidents. Now it is your MAIN RESPOSIBILITY TO OUSTER the last lunitique before it is lo late. If not Norway and the rest of Europe will have to be a refuge for dissident Americans…. What a mess you have put your self into electing a childish hateful lunitique wannabe Dictator. I dont blame those that tried to elect Harris & Waltz oC course, but all the fringe ignorant «no caring» voters that votes No 47!!!
Joy- you are a national, no a world, treasure. You so beautifully put into words what the MAJORITY of us are feeling. Thank you doesn't come close to the appreciation we have for you. They will not defeat us! Not with leaders like you.
Joy, as usual, you clearly explained all that is occurring in our country. We seem to lose or have our rights threatened daily, with little protection . Evil majority in government. Evil Supreme Court. Btw. Folks please make sure you are still on voter rolls and ask organizations to make sure people know to check. All this evil we see is bc of fraudulent voter purges.
On January 20,2025, he used a signing statement to declare a. National Emergency at the border and sent American soldiers to the border to fight the invasion. The statement ordered a report to be sent to him that would tell him whether the situation required him to invoke the Insurrection Act which allows him to send the Army into the country. That report is due on April 20 , 2025. Do you think this president who said during has campaign he wanted to be a dictator on the first day in office will invoke The Insurrection Act and take over the country using the military to
You have to focus on protests. That is the only messure against a run away precidency. Report would not change anything. Join Indivisible.org and fight back. Find you local group and get motivated and encouraged!!! Unity brings strenghth!!
I remember going to Paris during a nationwide protest that shut down the entire country. It too almost a day for the airlines to let us off the plane. Once we got off the plane, there were no taxis. lol No public transportation. Restaurants were closed... We need to find a way to shut down this country in daily, weekly rolling protests, even if we only manage to meet the 3.5% Rule of participation.
Joy, your reporting, writing, and overall spot on revelation of what happened in the past, what is happening currently, and what is to come brought tears to my heart. Having lived through the Civil Rights Movement, 60's Protests and Wars, I stand with you, humble at times, and angry at times. Thank you and all people who choose to stand together. We are in living in a time that requires love, compassion, strength, and knowledge.
We don’t have the same amount of time to stop this madness as we had before. Tech’s ubiquitous permeation is making young people disinclined to engage. I hope a young leader can awaken the young.
Something from a white male OK Boomer: without the legacy of the Black Experience American Culture would be just soggy, texturally, bland Wonder Bread.
Everyone should be outraged at the blatant erasure of significant and important history. Unless we all, black, white, brown, or human should be disgusted and work to stop the Stupid. Because if we forget the trauma that was done at the hands of others for greed, we are stupid.
Joy. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be presuming that future elections will be fair, if we have them at all. For the record, I don't think the last election was legitimate. I believe it was rigged somehow. And with a bunch of tech bro's writing code, I'm going to vehemently argue that this is very much within the realm of probability. I could write a chapter on why I'm so adamant. The mechanisms were already in place and were being fine-tuned during Trump 1.0. ... I'm an old fogey. I don't have any kids. But I still fear for the generations following after me if we don't find a way to get these people out of the positions of influence and "power".
Anyone who wants to fight back needs to stop asking "What can I do?" You can be part of a protest, you can call (or email or write) your members of Congress and your representatives in state government and let them know that you oppose what's going on. You can donate to any of the numerous organizations that are fighting. And, when you see MAGA people calling names and insulting others you can call them out. That's the scariest of all, especially because of open carry laws, but it has to be done. There is strength in numbers. If anyone organizes a protest in front of the National Museum of African-American History and Culture everyone who can, should go to DC and support the Museum. Trump and his entourage won't care, but Republicans who will have to go up for re-election will care. They're beginning, very slowly, to care about the tariffs and we can make them care about all the other hurtful things being done. No, I don't believe they'll really care, but they want to be re-elected.
As a survivor from the Civil Rights Era, I find it appalling and the ultimate hypocrisy that many white folks on the right love to quote Dr. King every year during Black History month, then turn around and distort everything he and the stalwarts of the Movement stood for; but the TRUTH, somehow, must prevail and journalists like Joy will continue to eloquently tell it.

This is one of the best articles I have read in a long time. A must read! Thank you.

Yes yes yes
Yes. When he invaded the military and fired the JAG officers, I knew that this is exactly what he intends to do.
Very scary!!

This Zeteo interview on the rise of techno-feudalism may be very useful to support the points you raise

Brilliant.
Thank you, Joy!

As always Joy, you bring truth to power. Thank you so much for “keeping it real”. Lord have mercy on these United States.
