In the last two weeks alone, Trump’s Supreme Court has:
Overturned Roe v. Wade.
Severely limited Miranda protections by ruling that citizens can’t sue the cops who don’t read them their Constitutional rights.
Expanded gun rights less than two months after schoolchildren were slaughtered and weeks after a racist shooting in a community supermarket, by striking down sensible New York gun control laws.
And now eviscerated the power of the EPA to do its job and try to protect against climate change by ruling it can’t regulate emissions from power plants.
These “justices” are not only legislating from the bench and making decisions that are stripping human rights and WILL CAUSE DEATHS in opposition to decades of precedent (50 years for Roe, 60 for Miranda, 110 for the NY gun laws):
Many of them are unfit to serve.
Clarence Thomas’s wife is an insurrectionist and election denier who is refusing to cooperate with the January 6 committee. Thomas has also not recused himself from decisions regarding the January 6 committee. He is married to a literal traitor to this country and has blatant conflict of interest. He MUST resign or be impeached and removed.
Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the bench was rammed through the Senate despite credible accusations that he is a rapist (as well as possibly guilty of financial misconduct or crimes). Investigators refused to consider evidence. This investigation must be reopened, and if more evidence is presented (as I suspect it will be), he should be impeached, removed, and prosecuted.
Neil Gorsuch perjured himself in his Senate confirmation hearings about Roe. He said he recognized and respected it as the law of the land, yet last week he cosigned Alito’s reactionary brief that claimed not only that Roe was not law, but that it never had been. Thus Gorsuch should be impeached, removed, and if possible prosecuted for lying under oath.
While I don’t know of evidence that Amy Coney Barrett is legally unfit to serve (despite being a far-right-wing reactionary), her appointment was illegitimate under the Republicans’ own arbitrary rules: they refused to even consider Obama’s candidate for the Court after Scalia’s death because it was “in an election year” although that was MARCH, then forced through Barrett’s a WEEK before the election (and less than a month after RBG’s death). Senate Republicans need to acknowledge that either her appointment or Gorsuch’s was illegitimate (and McConnell should be censured for it).
This is concept art for a poster design for boycotting the 4th of July this year. 4th of July is cancelled this year.
I sketched this in response to Roe vs. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022.
If you like this design, please feel free to take it and make it your own. You can make a digital version and/or any changes you’d like- I’m offering this poster design to everyone. You don’t need to give me credit or ask for my permission first.
If you want to help spread the word about the 4th of July strike/boycott, please use this design if you think it can help. Also use hashtags like #4thofjulyboycott, #boycott4thofjuly, #4thofjulystrike, or #4thofjulycancelled.
Sorry about being a slow artist; sharing this now so anyone can use it right away, and not have to wait on my sloth butt.
I track my spending on a spreadsheet. And I definitely saw a significant rise in groceries, etc. over the last few months.
The first higher bill/receipt I was like ‘hmmm, maybe I got some out of season produce and maybe something else wasn’t on bogo’
But the the next time, it was the same and it hasn’t gone back. I told my family and they are just like ‘well what are you buying? You must be buying extra stuff for your total to be so high’ and like NO.
I am buying the same fucking things I always buy. I might get green apples vs red depending on what looks best, but everything is the same. Same toilet paper, same pasta, same granola bars, same seltzer water. And I get the same amounts to last for about a week.
The prices have just gone up! And my pay hasn’t changed. (Although the assholes that run the company have cut payroll, so even though I make the same amount dollar wise, hour wise I make less. It’s a fucking pay cut without cutting the pay rate.
But yeah. I’m not sure what the income threshold is to where you don’t notice the inflation/gouging, but it’s fucking there.
