Thirteen progressive groups are urging U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to retire in a forthcoming full page ad on news site Politico, arguing that Breyer, 82, should step down while Democrats still have control of the Senate.

Well here in Fl, rondesantis passed a law that if more than 9 people are gathered it is considered an illegal protest and people can run them over with a car and have immunity. Aren't these white supremacists (also trump supporters) claiming that BLM protests burned cities to the ground? Seems odd they would be against an anti-riot law. 🤔
