Yeah, the story here isn’t that a state court proceeding is being allowed to continue normally, it’s that there are four Supreme Court justices prepared to shamelessly rubber stamp any demand Trump makes.
5–4, with Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh in dissent. Just incredible that there were 4 conservative votes for what would have been a blatantly improper action.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

“If people are not feeling the fire and are just seeing it, they might think it’s not getting closer and not getting more dangerous. During the day we were like ‘Oh my god, it’s so far’, but then suddenly it was so close. I’ve never seen something like this movie. This is like a horror movie.”

it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.
At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.
