On Monday, Republican senators will ram through a final vote to confirm right-wing judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg\u2019s seat on the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must vote in big numbers. But, the reality is that voting alone will not stop Trump. The illegitimate rushed confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, a theocratic fascist, to the Supreme Court is for the immediate purpose of throwing the election to Trump should he lose.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must overwhelm this fascist regime and movement with our mass non-violent protest. If we unite and rise like we did in the spring for Black lives, coming back day after day \u2013 united by the demand Trump\/Pence OutNow! and refusing to stop till they\u2019re gone – we can change the political situation. Our numbers, our diversity, and our heart for humanity can sustain us through whatever the Trump\/Pence regime tries to do to remain in power.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Info from MoveOn:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five things we learned from the hearings\u2014and from Barrett\u2019s own published commentary                                                          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.    She’d fulfill Trump\u2019s wish to repeal the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.    She’d be the death knell for the rights guaranteed under Roe v. Wade<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.    She’d seek to end marriage equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.    She’d be a decisive vote against voting rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.    Her pro-corporate history would give huge corporations even more power and individuals even less when it comes to climate, privacy, and consumer rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
