21. Make sure you tell all the women you know that their rights are less important

Than maintaining politics-as-usual.

Other lost rights worth expanding the court to regain, as well as to repair the damage of the Trump era:

The entire first amendment

Due process, especially for immigrants dealing with ICE

Balance of powers/coequal branches of government - if you don’t think the executive branch has grown too powerful, as well as the judicial branch…

Voting rights…

Campaign finance reform

LGBTQ rights (if you don’t think Obergefell is next on the MAGA majority’s list…)

A safe and sane application of second amendment rights

The right to clean air and water, and a safe environment for future generations

All of the above are supported by a majority of Americans.

Are you OK with maintaining the status quo on all the above? Because that will be the result if Dems fail to kill the filibuster and expand the court in 2029.
