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.
Because of the shadow docket, Trump has been allowed to:

❌ Fire 16,000 civil servants
❌ Terminate scientific grants mid-project
❌ Deport people under a law from 1798
❌Strip LGBTQ+ people of passport rights

All with barely a sentence from the Roberts Court.
Justice Elena Kagan:
“Our emergency docket should never be used... to transfer government authority from Congress to the President.”

But SCOTUS is doing just that.
The “shadow docket” was meant for urgent emergencies.
Now it’s MAGA’s shortcut to power.

👨‍⚖️ No arguments
📄 No reasoning
🧑‍⚖️ No accountability

And they’re using it to fire workers, gut protections, & dodge the law.
They fired federal workers.
They ended protections for immigrants.
They canceled science grants.

They did it all behind closed doors—no arguments, no explanations.

The shadow docket isn’t justice. It’s authoritarianism with legal cover.
Amy Coney Barrett: “We don’t think politically.”

Also Amy Coney Barrett: Overturned Roe, fast-tracked Trump’s agenda, and refuses to check his abuse of power.

…If that’s not political, what is?
Imagine facing 91 felony charges, becoming president, and then demanding the government pay you $230 million for the inconvenience.

Trump doesn’t have to imagine it.

And his DOJ—stacked with his personal lawyers—might just let it happen.
This is not a joke:

Trump wants $230 million in taxpayer money to “settle” the criminal investigations into himself.

And the DOJ officials who’ll decide?
His former defense attorneys.

This isn’t justice—it’s a hostile takeover of the rule of law.
Federal workers are lining up at food banks.

Meanwhile, the man responsible is basking in the power SCOTUS handed him.

When the Court ruled Trump immune, they didn’t just bless corruption—
They blessed suffering.
Imagine this:
You wake up and Trump has fired every regulator who tried to hold Wall Street, oil companies, or pharma giants accountable.

That’s the future the Supreme Court is inviting.

And they’re doing it under the cover of “constitutional interpretation.”
A conservative justice defending flag burning?

Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy said it clearly:
“We pay a price for freedom. That price is tolerating speech that shocks or offends.”

Reminder: SCOTUS has already:
❌ Gutted Roe
❌ Legalized presidential immunity
❌ Killed affirmative action
And now it might kill Section 2 which would hand Republicans at least 19 seats.

This isn’t a court. It’s an unelected super-legislature.

In 2020, Roberts presided over Trump’s impeachment trial.
.
In 2024, he gave him immunity.
.
In 2025, Trump thanked him from the Capitol steps.

Connect the dots.
Trump didn’t become a wannabe king overnight.

The Roberts Court built the throne—by granting him immunity, dismantling accountability, and siding with power over people.

Now he mocks and threatens protesters exercising their free speech.
What do you call it when:
✅ The president mocks millions demanding democracy
✅ Pardons allies for fun
✅ Threatens war abroad
✅ Faces no legal consequences

We call it authoritarianism.

Amy Coney Barrett calls it constitutional.
Over 7 MILLION marched this weekend to say what the Supreme Court won’t:
NO KINGS.

We see the Roberts Court handing Trump unchecked power.
We see the immunity, the impunity, the silence.

But we also see each other.

And we’re not going anywhere.

You don't get a president flying around in a "KING TRUMP" fighter jet without a Supreme Court that said the law doesn't apply to him.

Trump's not just trolling.

He's showing off how much unchecked power the Roberts Court handed him.
Trump refused to spend $4B Congress appropriated.
That’s illegal under the Impoundment Control Act.

SCOTUS gave the ok.

“When the president’s name is Donald Trump, though, it seems that the Supreme Court will sacrifice any constitutional principle to give him what he wants.” — @mjsdc.bsky.social
MAGA justices keep handing Trump the keys:

✅ Presidential immunity
✅ Corporate campaign cash
✅ No student debt relief
⚠️ And now? Voter suppression by map.

This isn’t a court. It’s a coup.
TODAY: We march because this ends with us.

Trump thinks he can rule like a king.

We have a Constitution. Not a monarch.
We the people are rising.

#NoKings
Let’s drop the illusion: this Supreme Court isn’t calling balls and strikes. It’s on Team MAGA.

Scrapping Section 2 could give the GOP 19+ seats, eliminate 30% of Black Caucus and 11% of Latino Caucus.

This isn’t a ruling—it’s a rigging.
🚨 HAPPENING TOMORROW: The people rise.

While Trump wages war on cities, starves the gov’t, and grabs for unchecked power—we’re showing up by the thousands to say:

📣 America has NO KINGS.
📣 Power belongs to the people.

GOP-controlled states could redraw enough districts to grab AT LEAST NINETEEN House seats if SCOTUS kills Section 2.

They aren’t protecting rights. They’re picking predetermining winners.

The Voting Rights Act is on life support.
