In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has lifted the limits that corporations can spend on political campaigns.

Think about that.

Corporations now have no limit that they can spend on political campaigns.

I believe this is a day that those of us who actually care about democracy, little d, should mourn.

I’ve been thinking about it all day, since I heard about the decision, and I’m still in a sort of shocked state, but thought that we needed to FP it, because it is such a momentous decision.

Maybe I’ll be back with something else once I stop mourning.
