We are a diverse coalition shining a spotlight on the ways this Supreme Court is impacting our families, our communities, our freedoms, and our democracy.
It’s not just about Trump.
Roberts built a court that expects presidents to break the law — and protects them when they do.
What happened to checks and balances?

A Trump-appointed judge blocked Texas’ racial gerrymander.
Read that again. Even he said it went too far.
Now Trump’s MAGA-packed Supreme Court —led by John Roberts, who gutted the Voting Rights Act— gets to decide if it stands anyway.
This isn’t neutral. It’s engineered.

Let’s stop pretending John Roberts is some moderate saving democracy.
He gutted voting rights. Greenlit gerrymandering. Shielded billionaires. And now he’s built a Court that rubber-stamps Trump’s every move.
This crisis didn’t appear overnight. It was designed.

Republicans in Texas tried to draw five new GOP seats by slicing up Black and Latino communities.
A federal court said: Nope. That’s illegal racial gerrymandering.
Now they’re running to SCOTUS for backup.
This is about power—not representation.

SCOTUS gave ICE the green light to ignore the Constitution.

97.4% of immigrants detained in Chicago had no criminal record.
They weren’t the “worst of the worst.”
They were daycare workers, landscapers, cab drivers.
The Roberts Court says that’s fine.
They greenlit racial profiling, and called it law.

This case is terrifying.
Can the U.S. block asylum-seekers on the Mexican side of the border, and act like they never came?
The Trump admin says yes.
The 9th Circuit said no: that would “radically contract” asylum rights.
Now it’s up to SCOTUS.
We’ve seen this 6–3 movie before.

We expect Trump to ignore the rules.
We expect him to abuse executive power.
But the Supreme Court is supposed to stop that.
Instead, they’re letting it happen—again and again.
That’s not checks and balances. That’s complicity.

The SNAP fight may be over—but never forget.
Trump was literally fighting in court to withhold food from families & veterans during a shutdown he caused—all while partying at Mar-a-Lago.
And the Roberts Court almost helped him do it.
Only Justice Jackson dissented.

The SNAP stay got extended. But something unusual happened.
The order doesn’t say Justice Jackson referred it to the full Court.
That’s the tell.
It means Jackson not only dissented—she made sure no one mistook her for going along with it.
A quiet message with big implications.

SCOTUS refused to stop Tremane Wood’s execution.
Even though the jury was rigged. Prosecutors lied. His lawyer was on cocaine. His brother confessed but only got life. Oklahoma’s pardon board said: spare him.

Let that sink in.

If SCOTUS signs off on Trump’s National Guard argument, they won’t just be rewriting a law, they’ll be writing a blank check for any president to militarize policing in any city they choose.
Using the U.S. military against its own citizens is NOT public safety. That’s authoritarian drift.

Trump isn’t just refusing to feed veterans — he’s dragging the Supreme Court into it.
He’s gone to them twice in one week to block food benefits that millions, including 1.2 million veterans, rely on.
He knows this Court serves him, not the people.

All because Donald Trump is blocking their SNAP benefits, the food assistance program that helps them survive.

A Reagan-appointed judge just gave up his lifetime seat so he could speak freely about Trump.
His message? Trump is using the law for partisan purposes.
He says Trump is doing “overtly and routinely” what Nixon only dared to do in secret.
This isn’t politics. It's a warning.

Disabled Americans. Veterans. Seniors. All rely on SNAP.
Two courts told Trump: you don’t get to starve people.
So Trump went running to the only institution corrupt enough to side with him: SCOTUS.
And like clockwork, they chose Trump over hungry families.
Shameful.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called it what it is:
“A pointless but painful perversion of our equitable discretion.”
Trans people deserve dignity. Not discrimination in their identity documents.

That it doesn’t reflect who you are. That the government forced it to lie.
That’s the reality this Court just upheld—for no reason except to have Trump’s back.

But he’s heading to his MAGA Supreme Court to overrule them—and keep 40 million people in limbo.

Trump used a 1977 law to hit nearly every country with huge tariffs.
No congressional vote.
No trade law backing.
Now SCOTUS —who’s already sided with him 90% of the time— could bless it all.
