To watch "All Quiet On The Western Front". I have no idea if the current remake is any good or not but the original is the most powerful movie you'll likely ever watch.
The independent state legislature doctrine could reverse 200 years of progress and take power away..
In a case to be heard in the coming months, the U.S. Supreme Court could decide that state legislatures have control over congressional elections, including the ability to draw voting districts for partisan political advantage, unconstrained by state law or state constitutions.
At issue is a legal theory called the “independent state legislature doctrine,” which is posed through the court’s consideration of a dispute over gerrymandered North Carolina congressional districts. In early 2022, North Carolina state courts found the legislature violated the state constitution when it drew gerrymandered congressional districts favoring Republicans. The legislature has claimed that the U.S. Constitution gives it authority, unfettered by state courts’ interpretation of the state constitution or laws, to regulate congressional elections, and is asking the Supreme Court to agree.

Excellent article if extremely chilling. Read and then get on the phone/email/whatever to spread the word. There HAS to be a way to stop these repuglican asshats ..... HAS to be!!! We are seeing our democracy wither and die before our very eyes. People need to be more upset imo.
An infuriatingly humorous guide to the subject matter.
Yes, it's from Cracked. Yes, it's a humor site also but man, these people are savage about exposing the rwnj's and their agenda. This is their take on the Don't say gay bills etc. Cracked is a very progressive site that uses humor as their swords to prick the pricks hehe.
