Today’s Supreme Court decision opens the door to real harm in future elections — it allows states to use a flawed federal system to scan the voter rolls — and we will keep fighting it. But here’s what you need to know: federal law bars states from mass-removing voters this close to an election.

This administration wants to keep us from voting so they can control our elections and seize more authoritarian power. They’re doing everything they can to make us feel isolated and powerless. We refuse to accept this.

Today, the Supreme Court affirmed what we've always known: that Americans can vote in whatever way is most convenient for them, whether that be by mail, via a ballot drop box, early in-person, at a polling location on Election Day.

Very easy to feel doomerish right now, but I'm taking some heart from this @leahgreenberg.bsky.social message laying out the rationale for Saturday's No Kings protests.

For the would-be dictator, success depends on projecting power and creating an aura of inevitability. They need you to believe that Trump is the new normal, that the MAGA movement will be in power for the long haul, that the only rational move is to go along, keep your head down, and protect your own interests.

We’ve seen over the last six months what happens when this aura of inevitability goes unchallenged. Institutions -- from state governments to businesses to civil society to higher education to media -- start to fall in line, do what Trump tells them, and/or go silent.

Here’s the thing: The aura of inevitability is a lie. It’s all a lie. Power in American society doesn’t derive from the top down. Trump’s grasp is brittle, and he’s overreaching dramatically. He will only succeed if everyone agrees to believe the lie.

Or, as our friend Reverend Barber says: A king is only a king if we bow down.

Countering the aura of inevitability requires a hundred different tactics and strategies. It looks like making an example of Target for obeying in advance and getting rid of its DEI policies. It looks like protesting and toxifying Elon Musk until he bows out of government. It looks like students at Georgetown making a list of Big Law collaborators and organizing their peers to steer clear. It looks like federal workers refusing to obey illegal or unethical orders. It looks like building the muscles and the relationships for collective action.

In short, it requires a countless number of people in a countless number of places to do something that the Trump regime doesn’t want them to do, or to NOT do something the Trump regime wants them to do. That’s how we shake off the aura of inevitability and halt the autocratic breakthrough.
