We now live in a world and a reality where the ECOTUS is willing and able to overturn existing rights.

I've had many conversations with a friend who feels Dred Scott was the worst ruling in history. And, look. Dred Scott was evil, inhumane, and an absolutely vile ruling in each and every way.

Yesterday in its own way went beyond that. Now the Court doesn't just deny rights... they revoke them. They're "taking our country back"... Back to the dark ages!

Women today... LGBTQ's tomorrow.. People of color after that. Not just "No, you can't have that." Now it's "You know that right you had yesterday? GONE!"

How many will be hurt? How much damage will be done? Will anyone but the white cishet male have anything when it's over?

We're all Dred Scott now.
