Barrett was nominated by a president who lost the popular vote, confirmed by a Senate majority that represents fewer people than the Senate minority, and gives the Supreme Court a majority of members who were appointed by presidents who took office after losing the popular vote.
This is not a legitimate Court. https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/1320883670849302535
I think Republicans know that they’ve forced a Democratic trifecta to expand the court.

They’re gambling that the stolen Court will help prevent a trifecta and entrench minority rule.

We need a landslide they can’t steal. Then we expand the court. https://twitter.com/Mikel_Jollett/status/1320884795698630656
This is a setback for democracy, freedom, and voters, not just for Democrats. https://twitter.com/kasie/status/1320887412571152387

I’m not worried about Democratic elected officials who don’t support expansion yet.

Republicans just made it inevitable — if Democrats win the WH & Senate.

That’s the immediate task; without it, all is lost. With it, we will fix this mess.
Republicans on the Supreme Court just tried to steal Wisconsin for Donald Trump.

This is still true, though I should’ve added Democratic Senate candidates, too: https://twitter.com/jamisonfoser/status/1288849650963771392
Mitch McConnell & the GOP either

1) Just completed a brilliant coup that will keep them in power for decades

-or-

2) Stupidly overreached, ensuring democracy reforms that will break their minority rule

The thing is between now and next Tuesday *we get to decide which it is.*
Priorities for the next 8 days:

1. Stay alive.

2. Vote, obviously. In person, or via dropbox. As soon as possible. Be safe. Encourage everyone you know to do likewise.

3. Donate/volunteer to help Biden + Dem Sen candidates in AK, IA, SC, TX, MS, MT, KS, GA, MI, MN, AZ, NC, ME.
Don’t be defeatist. Things are bleak — that means it’s time to do everything you can to elect Democrats to the WH and Senate in the next 8 days.

If you fight we might lose anyway. If you give up we definitely will, and you’ll be exactly the chump Mitch McConnell thinks you are.
