It grieves me more than I can express that so many people bought into the lies, first that it was a quota system, and second, that everything in life is a zero-sum game.

This SCOTUS exhausts me. They are undoing the progress of my lifetime, the progress of the second half of the 20th century, all the advances I cheered for.
