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.
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.
In 1965, the Voting Rights Act made representation real.
In 2025, the Supreme Court might undo it.

If they strike Section 2, it’s open season for racial gerrymandering.

The right to vote is on the line—again.
Trump just sent $40B to Argentina while troops go unpaid and furloughed federal workers line up at food banks.

He’s sending ICE into Chicago & Portland like it’s war.

We reject this. We rise. America has NO KINGS. #NoKings

Justice Sotomayor called it: “The bottom line is you're just getting rid of the Voting Rights Act.”

If SCOTUS erases Section 2, it’s not race-neutral.

It’s race-denial. And it clears the way for a new era of legalized voter suppression.
If SCOTUS guts Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, Republicans in AL, FL, NC, SC, LA & beyond could erase up to 12 Black-majority districts.

Just in time for the 2026 midterms.

The goal isn't fairness. It’s locking in White political power by any means necessary.
Justice Kavanaugh says race-based remedies need a “sunset.”

Translation: protections for Black voters are too inconvenient for white political power.

This isn’t colorblind law. It’s willful erasure.
The case is Louisiana v. Callais. But the impact? National.

If the Court rules race can’t be considered in redistricting, it opens the door to mass voter dilution—especially in the South.

This is a coordinated rollback of democracy.
John Roberts gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013.

Louisiana v. Callais lets him finish the job.

Black voters lose power.
GOP maps win.
Democracy dies a little quieter.

That’s the legacy he’s always wanted.
THIS COURT IS NOT NEUTRAL.
