This next Supreme Court term will be the first after President Biden’s proposed Supreme Court reforms AND the immunity ruling. We’ve seen in recent years that we can NEVER take our eyes off the courts and what they’re capable of. Highly recommend you follow Democracy Forward.

Gut punch. Jennifer is a teacher at Apalachee High School in Georgia. It doesn’t have to be this way. It isn’t like this in other countries. Our kids and communities deserve better.
