HALF of Americans think the Supreme Court will keep Trump in check — but the reality is far more dangerous.
🔴Trump handpicked three of the MAGA justices.
🔴SCOTUS granted him sweeping immunity as President.
🔴They're helping him deliver on his campaign promises.
We must demand accountability now.

“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino.” — Justice Sonia Sotomayor
But that’s exactly what the MAGA majority allowed ICE to do.
This is state-sponsored racial profiling.
Plain and simple.

Alito turns 76 in April.
20 years on the bench.
Book coming out in October.
Court watchers are reading the tea leaves.
If he steps down before midterms, Trump gets another seat.
That’s not routine.
That’s strategic timing.

Colbert says CBS barred him from even talking about James Talarico's pulled interview after “guidance” from Trump’s FCC chair.
That’s not neutral regulation.
That’s intimidation.
SCOTUS weakened guardrails.
Now Trump pressures the press.
The First Amendment isn’t optional.

Colbert had to post James Talarico’s interview online because CBS wouldn’t air it.
Why? Because Trump’s FCC told them not to.
When media companies succumb to censor to avoid retaliation, democracy is already in trouble.
The Court cleared the path. Trump is walking it.

We broke up with kings in 1776.
In 2024, SCOTUS tried a soft launch.
Presidential immunity hits different when the president thinks “law” is a suggestion.

Chevron lost in Louisiana.
A jury looked at the damage and said: Pay $744 million.
So where did Chevron run?
Straight to SCOTUS, the Court that’s built a reputation for siding with corporations and billionaires.
They’re not fighting the facts.
They’re betting on a friendlier bench.

Love means showing up.
But this Court? It keeps ghosting our rights and double-texting wealthy donors.
If that’s their love language, we’re not buying it.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh helped unleash this chaos. He said racial profiling would be just a “minor inconvenience.”
Now ICE agents are stopping people for speaking Spanish.
Now communities are told to carry proof of citizenship.
That’s not public safety.
That’s authoritarian creep.

Chevron isn’t saying they didn’t harm Louisiana’s coast.
They’re saying a Louisiana jury shouldn’t get to decide the consequences.
If SCOTUS sides with Chevron, it’s not just about one state.
It’s about whether corporations answer to communities or get to shop for softer judges.

A Court that strips bodily autonomy but shields presidential power.
A Court that curbs watchdogs but boosts corporate rights.
Time and again, SCOTUS weakens rights and strengthens concentrated power.

Louisiana is nearly 1/3 Black.
It has 6 congressional districts.
Only 1 was drawn for Black voters.
After courts ordered a fix, white voters sued — claiming they were being discriminated against.
Now SCOTUS could side with them.

It’s gotten so bad that judges are writing step-by-step instructions just to stop ICE from gaming the system.
One court order required ICE to return clothing, ID, and documents, and not release detainees into the cold without coordination.

TPS (Temporary Protected Status) means protection for people fleeing war or disaster.
Venezuelans had that protection. Then the Supreme Court allowed Trump to strip it.
They called it temporary. But people were deported. Families are torn apart.

After courts order someone released from ICE custody, you’d expect compliance.
Instead, ICE has been delaying releases for days or even weeks, forcing emergency motions and contempt threats.
