The Constitution says we’re free from unreasonable searches & seizures.

That applies to ALL of us.

Trump’s asking SCOTUS to gut that—letting ICE stop people for skin color, language, or job.

LA raids already wrongfully arrested U.S. citizens.

That’s not law—it’s abuse.

LA blocked ICE from stopping people for:
🔹Speaking Spanish
🔹Working construction/landscaping
🔹Certain neighborhoods
🔹“Looking” undocumented

Trump is asking SCOTUS to step in.

We must STAY LOUD.

Trump didn’t like that safety commissioners blocked dangerous batteries and staffing cuts.

So he fired them.

SCOTUS backed him.

This isn’t about law. It’s about eliminating resistance.

The Roberts Court gave Trump immunity.

Later, Trump publicly thanked Roberts after a congressional address, saying “I won’t forget it.”

Now Trump’s phone is on autopilot, calling his buddy John whenever an unpopular policy needs a green light.

The “largest Mass Deportation Operation” in U.S. history is underway in California — and a judge said you can’t just stop people for speaking Spanish or working construction.

Trump’s lawyers want SCOTUS to strike that down.

Groups ask justices to leave order in place requiring Trump administration to fund studies linked to DEI initiatives Updated on August 1 at 8:50 pm. Two groups of plaintiffs seeking to stop the National Institutes of Health from terminating $783 million in grants urged the Supreme Court on […]

Trump’s executive order didn’t just target DEI trainings — it ordered the NIH to kill $783M in research grants.

Cancer studies? Public health work? All gone.
Now the case is at SCOTUS — and Trump knows he can count on his MAGA justices to greenlight the cuts.

DOJ manufactures another lawsuit to block in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants A little-noted lawsuit in Oklahoma could block a state law with no actual adversarial litigation. Also: My Thursday reading, as I started catching up from vacation.

The DOJ’s latest stunt: staging a lawsuit in Oklahoma to kill in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.

When there’s no real defendant, there’s no real justice.

This is how rights are dismantled — quietly, in courtrooms nobody’s watching.

A federal judge blocked Trump’s mass deportation raids in LA from using racial profiling and language as excuses to detain people.

Now Trump’s rushing to SCOTUS to undo that order.

Because in HIS America, your skin color IS probable cause.

Trump’s mass deportation raids in LA have swept up thousands — day laborers, caregivers, farmworkers — based on race, language, and where they work.

A judge said that’s unconstitutional.

Trump’s calling up his Supreme Court pals to bring profiling back.

The Constitution says “no unreasonable searches and seizures.”

Trump says “unless you’re brown, speak Spanish, or work construction.”
And he’s betting the Roberts Court will agree.

We the people say: The Fourth Amendment still matters.

SCOTUS-enabled. John Roberts-designed.

That’s MAGA’s game plan to destroy the Voting Rights Act.

Don’t repeal it — just block We the People from enforcing it.

If the Court kills the right to sue, 92% of past voting rights cases would’ve never happened.

That’s not justice. It’s sabotage.

So the Library of Congress just removed constitutional protections against unlawful detention and foreign corruption from its site…

during an immigration crackdown…

while Trump courts foreign influence…

Yeah. We noticed.

The Supreme Court doesn’t need to repeal the Voting Rights Act.

They just need to say you can’t enforce it unless the DOJ says so.

And when they don’t act? Nothing happens.

That’s the plan. That’s the Roberts court. That’s SCOTUS-enabled suppression.

🚨The Library of Congress just “accidentally” deleted major parts of the Constitution from its website — including habeas corpus and the emoluments clause.

Blaming it on a “coding error” doesn’t make this less disturbing.

This isn’t just a glitch.

It’s harrowing.

Trump put RFK Jr. in charge of HHS.

Now:
❌ $500M in mRNA research gone
❌ Vaccine panels fired
❌ Measles shots undermined

Add in $783M in NIH grant cuts for DEI-linked research—and SCOTUS keeps clearing the way.

This isn’t just bad policy. It’s a blueprint for dismantling public health.

The Supreme Court just revealed its plan to make gerrymandering even worse The Court recently saved part of the Voting Rights Act. But now it’s signaling it’ll kill it off soon enough.

SCOTUS punting the Voting Rights Act case wasn’t random—it was calculated.

Texas Republicans saw that green light and ran with it—arresting lawmakers and redrawing maps to erase voters of color.

Now we know why: they’re ready to kill what’s left.

RFK Jr. just yanked $500M from mRNA vaccine research—halting 22 projects fighting COVID, flu & even future pandemics.

Experts say it’s “the most dangerous decision in 50 years of public health.”

Trump’s administration is gutting science and gambling with American lives.

Grok’s right—

Trump would be in prison if he weren’t president.

We can especially thank the Roberts Court for making it possible: 1st by letting him stay on the ballot, then by granting him immunity.

The Court didn’t just shield him—it incentivized his return to power.

Jonathan Mitchell—the man behind Texas’s bounty law—is suing a doctor for mailing abortion pills.

Not for $75K.

But to get MAGA’s fringe legal theories in front of their handpicked Supreme Court.

Texas Democrats walked out because Republicans are cheating—rewriting maps mid-decade to lock in power.

But don’t forget: John Roberts opened the door. He gutted the Voting Rights Act & let racial gerrymanders run rampant.

This fight goes straight back to the Supreme Court.

John Roberts called the Voting Rights Act “a thing of the past.”

Now Texas Republicans are trying to ram through 5 new GOP districts by arresting lawmakers who resist.

This is the Roberts Court’s legacy: legalized voter suppression.

Will the Supreme Court hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s case? While President Donald Trump fields questions about a potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, the Supreme Court is also playing a role in the debate over her future. As of Monday, […]

Trump won’t rule out pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell—a convicted child sex trafficker.

Now she’s appealing to the Supreme Court.
The same Court Trump built.
The same Court that shields him.

This is how power protects itself while the Epstein files stay sealed.

A pregnant woman in Georgia was kept on life support to deliver a fetus against her family’s wishes.

It sanctioned state control of our bodies.

Dobbs wasn’t the endgame—it was the opening move.

Now MAGA is coming for:

🔴 Abortion Medication Ban
🔴 Blue-state Shield Laws
🔴Fetal “personhood”

Their goal is total control of pregnancy in America.

The Roberts Court didn’t just overturn Roe—they opened the floodgates.

MAGA’s next move? A national abortion ban without Congress ever voting.

They’re dusting off an 1873 law to block abortion pills from the mail—banning the most common form of abortion in America.

What Corp. for Public Broadcasting Shutdown Means For NPR, PBS A network of small, often rural, public broadcasters have long depended on CPB funding for their survival.

Public media isn’t just NPR & PBS—it’s rural stations with news, school closings & tornado alerts.

Trump yanked $1.1B from CPB, the GOP backed him, and SCOTUS cleared the way.

Result: more news deserts, fewer trusted voices, communities left in the dark.
