It’s almost like the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is working against our Declaration of Independence the very week we celebrate 248 years of Independence from a monarchy.
I know the feeling of living in a land you have limited control over–it’s why I fight for Puerto Rican statehood and why I have been fighting against Donald Trump, our conservative Supreme Court, and the MAGA movement for nearly eight years.
In the United States of America, we are blessed with a system of democracy built on checks and balances that holds our leaders accountable and is truly by and for the people. It’s not feeling that way anymore.
If this week has left you in a state of confusion and worry for the future of our government, I implore you to vote for Democrats this fall. We hold each other accountable. We take protecting our democracy seriously. And we will never succumb to the desires of conservative justices who will criminalize homelessness while legalizing bribery, court overreach in policy, and a dictatorship.
