The Intercept - An important message from Naomi Klein

Too many Democrats — and their enablers in the corporate media — are acting as if the court’s rolling judicial coup is inevitable and unstoppable.

The first rule of an emergency is that you do what it takes to end the emergency and get to safety. You don’t throw up your hands because the task is too hard.

And you certainly don’t let a gang of unelected, lifetime appointed political operatives — several of whom only have their seats because of trickery and lies — get in your way.

As if ending the constitutional right to abortion wasn’t enough, the U.S. Supreme Court has now eviscerated the Environmental Protection Agency’s power to tackle the climate crisis.

But instead of seizing this moment to radically reform the court and advance an aggressive climate action agenda, too many Democrats — and their enablers in the corporate media — are acting as if the court’s rolling judicial coup is inevitable and unstoppable.

I joined The Intercept to help shine a spotlight on injustices others take for granted and thereby expand the horizons of political possibility. And that’s why I’m so proud of how — as others have studiously avoided challenging the Supreme Court’s legitimacy — The Intercept’s journalism exposes how corporate greed and right-wing extremism have conspired to enable these outrageous power grabs.

As a reader of The Intercept, I know you refuse to accept an ever-worsening status quo. By becoming a member today, you will keep our reporters on the beat, raising the alarm about the growing threats to democracy and the future of the planet.

Thank you,

Naomi Klein
