The foundational 1984 decision required courts to defer to agencies’ reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes, underpinning regulations on health care, safety and the environment.

This is what the decision by the Republican justices to allow “gratuities” for public officials creates an incentive for.

    Nope, the social contract is broken. Organize immediately, protest everywhere. They want savages we can provide.

      I’d argue protest and organization is part of the social contract as well. So if we’re past the social contract them…

        You still need to organize. One dude throwing Molotovs doesn’t get much done besides getting arrested. A crowd of people? We know they’re terrified of those.

        Either way, no scary big protests, no going back to a sane reality. Shit, it might take pulling them from their seats if we dont want Christofascism setting in.

        Doing what we are now? This country is lost. Those debates were embarrassing. Its up to the people now.

      Ahahahaha this is a settler colonial nation. The colonized are too weak to do anything and settlers have proven for centuries they won’t do anything until they absolutely positively have to.
