Sadly, Trump and Musk are further into the insurrection that Trump started and should have been impeached over. The delays in legal actions caused by the Supreme Court and Malfeasance of Judge Cannon prevented trump from being jailed. We now have a criminal running destroying our Democracy. STOP It!

Trump's mom was a foreign lady. No one will say why she had to leave Scotland. Suspicious & Concerning

the courts will not protect us...not in the least...anyone believing that doesn't understand the magnitude of maga judges in the US court system...expample....SCOTUS.

We need to keep diligent.

If only SCOTUS would bother to do that.
The MOST corrupt SCOTUS in American history, John Roberts kangaroo court

States as well. States have a lot of power under our system, divided federalism can help defeat him.

True Norm...but what happens when it gets to SCOTUS??? That's the real question...

I hope that there are groups or agencies that challenge every singe one of Trump's Executive Orders.

No one is going to be safe until those Six Greedy Religious Zealots are gone from the “Supreme” Religious Court.

#SCOTUS doesn’t care if Mommy lives or dies.

And this is why it’s important to win elections for the long-term or else all the judges will be in his pocket

The courts are going to be vital in slowing down his abhorrent practises. It'll be crushing for him, Elmo, Miller, but the constitution was written by reasoning, wise minds not n*zis. Much of their barbarism will be frustrated and thwarted this way. And good luck getting the army to shoot civilians!

Then there is Scotus. You will see.

Sadly, the courts are our last line of defense. Not al courts are created equally. See Florida judge Cannon, as an example.

I wouldn't be booking the W just yet.

The precedent is murky enough that, while the lower courts are obliged to get on Ark, SCOTUS can do what it damn well feels like, and this is Stage 2 in their nefarious scheme to rig elections for a generation.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATS, INDEPENDENTS, & THOSE WHO CARE: Talking pundits on MSNBC & CNN explaining the disasters of the Trump administration are not going to do it. We need a nationwide TV ad blitz with respected leaders sounding the alarm on this destruction of our democracy. NOW, before the Midterms.

None of it matters when SCOTUS is corrupt and this has all been preordained.

jenpoll.bsky.social•38 days ago

Can we sue the Republican Party for failing to uphold the Constitution?

ravenna321.bsky.social•38 days ago

We've been so wrapped up in keeping up with the day to day horrors of this I haven't heard a lot about where all of this is ultimately headed and how to stop it. We need a comprehensive plan of action compiled and coordinated by smart pragmatic people like you.
