Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has announced that she’s battling a recurrence of cancer, and we wish her all the best in her fight:
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg announces she is undergoing chemotherapy to treat a recurrence of cancer. She says the treatment is yielding “positive results" and she remains “fully able” to continue her work on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/Y9mcGDKvSj

Justice Ginsburg plans to keep working during her treatment, which brings us to a blue check writer who lists bylines with GQ Mag, Rolling Stone, Daily Beast, the Washington Post and more. This take now has over 45,000 retweets and counting:
Has everyone stopped to meditate on the fact that an 87-year-old woman on chemo has to keep working full-time, full-force, because she's quite literally the only thing stopping the country's full slide into fascism?

My point is not that she's an inspiration (she is), but that something is deeply wrong with a government that puts any one person in this position

Well that’s certainly one way to look at it.
SIri, what does 'literally' mean?
Siri, what does 'fascism' mean?
Siri, what's the role of the US Supreme Court? https://t.co/885L9Jy6K7

Have you stopped to meditate on how inadvertently funny it is how it's your beliefs that are close to fascism? https://t.co/3YjyFGvVbH

This narrative is just going to persist no matter how many times Trump's appointees will vote against him. https://t.co/l8mYWCtSvP

Also, not to rain on a good narrative, but Justice Ginsburg could have retired in a way that would have been “safe” for Democrats not all that long ago:
Or she could’ve retired at like, Age 79-80 during a super majority ?♂️

Aside from everything else wrong with this tweet, Ginsburg could have retired in 2015. https://t.co/zpScs7PXGl
