Tens of thousands of people. Deported to countries they're not from. The record shows what's happening: Prolonged detention. Beatings. Sexual assault. One of their lawyers: "These harms cannot be undone." The MAGA justices greenlit it all anyway.

This year, the Supreme Court ruled on MORE cases in secret than in public. For the first time ever. 63 shadow docket rulings. 56 argued cases. And only 17% of those secret votes have any public record at all. Unelected justices are rewriting your rights behind closed doors.

Justice Jackson is right. The conservative majority on the Supreme Court has given Trump a FAST PASS. He's won 80% of his emergency docket cases. Firing federal workers. Canceling grants. Stripping immigrants of legal status. This is a rigged system, not a court of law.

🚨The Supreme Court just let Trump resume deporting immigrants to countries they are NOT from. No notice. No hearings. If this was about "the worst criminals," DHS wouldn't be trying to avoid hearings. The far-right justices keep handing him his immigration agenda.

Clarence Thomas is about to be the longest-serving justice in U.S. history. His Legacy: ❌Accepted undisclosed gifts from a billionaire ❌Voted to overturn Roe ❌Refused to recuse on Jan. 6 ❌Helped gut the Voting Rights Act Destructive is an understatement.

Ask yourself why Trump is so desperate to silence Jack Smith. Smith said under oath he had proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed serious crimes. SCOTUS saw the evidence and buried it with immunity. Silencing the witness doesn't erase the truth.

Jack Smith just told the Senate under oath: He had "PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation." He said: "I will NOT be silenced." SCOTUS saw the evidence. They gave him immunity anyway. They KNEW.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court term starts October 5. The same unelected justices who've greenlit 90% of Trump's requests. Now they're coming for YOUR right to sue polluters, vote, and work with dignity. Accountability starts with WE THE PEOPLE fighting back.

🟥The Roberts Court just let Trump use a database the federal judge said was built by "knowingly trampling" on Americans' privacy. 39 days before the midterms. States are ALREADY removing citizens from voter rolls using inaccurate data. We need reform. RIGHT NOW.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Justice Jackson asked the question Americans deserve an answer to: "Why does one party get a fast pass to the Supreme Court?" The answer is simple. The Roberts Court is Trump's power machine. Congress must REIN IN this Court. Right now.

Boulder, CO taxpayers are footing the bill for climate disasters. Wildfires. Floods. Droughts. Bigger storm seasons. Higher costs. Boulder said ENOUGH and sued Exxon and Suncor in state court. Big Oil's response? Run to the Supreme Court and beg to be untouchable.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job." Justice Sotomayor warned us. Kavanaugh knew exactly what he was doing when he gave ICE a checklist for racial profiling.

Justice Alito's family leased Oklahoma oil rights to a company bought by billionaire Paul Singer. Singer is a major investor in Suncor (the company asking SCOTUS to kill climate cases nationwide). Alito once flew Singer's private jet. Never disclosed it. Follow the corruption.

Missouri Republicans want the Supreme Court to bless a gerrymandered map designed to steal another Congressional seat. Their own Solicitor General admits it: hundreds of thousands of voters could be DISENFRANCHISED. They've changed the map FIVE times in September alone.

If you're not old enough to buy a beer, you shouldn't be able to buy a handgun. That's the principle behind a 1968 federal law. But Trump's DOJ just gutted it. 18- to 20-year-olds commit gun homicides at TRIPLE the rate of adults 21+. To the gun lobby, this is "freedom."

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Only 33% of Americans back this war. 69% say Trump never even explained the goals. By August, two-thirds OPPOSED it outright. In a functioning democracy, that ends a war. In our country right now? Trump and Hegseth just keep bombing. We need reform NOW.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
You can't rent a car until 25. You can't gamble in most casinos until 21. You can't drink beer until 21. But Trump's DOJ says 18 is plenty old enough to walk into a gun store and buy a gun. They didn't do this to make us safer. They greenlit it because their donors asked.

Look at the pattern. Trump immunity ruling? Expanded. Independent agency firings? Approved. Foreign aid withheld? Allowed. Voting rights? Demolished. And after 43 years, the legislative veto to stop a war? Dead. The Roberts Court enabled ALL of this.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Justice Kagan named it. "For over a decade, this Court has had its sights set on the Voting Rights Act." Read that again. A decade-long project to gut voting rights. The Roberts Court didn't slip. It PLANNED this.

"There's constant and building dismay about the increasingly appalling record of the court. The continuing interest in reform springs from continued dismay and concern about the court's misbehavior." —Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse The Supreme Court isn't going to police itself.

BREAKING: Trump is in month SEVEN of an ILLEGAL war with Iran. Congress never voted for it. Congress never authorized it. Congress passed resolutions TWICE telling him to stop. He ignored both. And the MAGA Court paved the road for him to do it.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
The gun lobby called. Trump's DOJ answered. DOJ just lifted a 1968 law that kept handguns out of 18- to 20-year-olds' hands. Who's this DOJ working for? Not the 18- to 20-year-olds who commit gun homicides at 3X the rate of adults 21+. Not the families burying their kids.

Sen. Dick Durbin said the quiet part out loud: "The only Senator who has ever changed the tenure and composition of the Supreme Court is Senator McConnell." He stole a seat from Merrick Garland. Then jammed through Amy Coney Barrett days before an election. Never forget.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Trump is throwing a tantrum because justices HE nominated refused to rig the midterms for him. "These are not the people I interviewed." Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh — Trump picked them — STILL wouldn't help him strip voting rights. Even his OWN justices said NO.
130
United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Trump wants justices who OBEY him. He attacked his OWN nominees — Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh — for refusing to restrict voting. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

SCOTUS's record on women's health: Overturned Roe. Let states ban abortion. Threatened mifepristone. Defunded Planned Parenthood through Medicaid. At every turn: DISMANTLED. Now 21.4 MILLION women can't access birth control.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett says there is NO constitutional crisis. Tell that to the 73 percent of Americans who DISAGREE. 95% of Democrats. 79% of Independents. 48% of Republicans. Read the room.

Want to know why there aren't more gun safety laws? Look at the Supreme Court. The Roberts Court's extremist rulings have given the gun lobby a green light: sell whatever you want, to anyone, anywhere. Billionaires captured the Court. Working families pay with their lives.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
In Maricopa County, AZ — a major metro with 300,000 women in need — only 8% of subsidized birth control need is met. Clinics are CLOSING because of Medicaid defunding. Unelected justices don't answer to voters. THANKS, SCOTUS.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas were ready to let Trump STRIP millions of voters of their mail-in ballots. Less than two months before the midterms. Because apparently, letting Trump rig an election matters more than YOUR vote.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
"These are not the people I interviewed." That tells you everything about how Trump views the Supreme Court. He didn't pick Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh to interpret the law. He picked them to LOYALLY serve HIM. Corruption in plain sight.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
The Supreme Court's legitimacy is in question. Approval is at an all-time low. Just 31%. And nearly 4x more Americans say this Court is biased in favor of Trump. This isn't a Court. It's a Trump shield with a gavel.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Roberts. Thomas. Alito. Gorsuch. Kavanaugh. Barrett. That's the Court that: ✅Killed Roe ✅Expanded gun rights ✅Stripped federal agencies of power ✅Gave Trump immunity ✅Gutted the Voting Rights Act ✅Greenlit ICE's racial profiling ✅Struck down limits on campaign spending

"The Court is not supposed to be in the business of rewarding litigants for forum shopping." —Justice Sotomayor, Moore v. Harper They didn't listen. They're still at it. Power protects power. The system isn't broken — it's rigged.

"USPS would not deliver election mail if states refused to provide the required voter information." That's Postmaster General David Steiner, telling Senators the quiet part out loud. Translation: hand over the voter data, or the ballots don't move. Thanks SCOTUS.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Justice Kagan didn’t mince words: 🛑 The Court is hijacking power. 🛑 Congress is being sidelined. 🛑 Trump is being shielded. This isn’t checks and balances. It’s a hostile takeover in robes.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Reminder: Trump voted by mail. Twice. In the last year. He signed an executive order letting USPS reject ballots from any voter not on a DHS list. SCOTUS greenlit it. One-third of U.S. voters vote by mail. Tens of millions of votes on the line. Hypocrisy at its finest.

$300,000. That's what pardon brokers told a felon it would cost to "put the pen in Trump's hand." 70% of Trump's clemencies this term skipped DOJ review. 92% if you count January 6 rioters. The Roberts Court gave him the immunity to a presidential pardon market.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
NEVER FORGET. Justice Sotomayor: "If the president orders someone to assassinate [a rival], is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity?" Trump's lawyer D. John Sauer: "It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an official act."

SCOTUS oral arguments are getting longer, and Chief Justice Roberts wants to rein them in. When the stakes are enormous, the solution shouldn’t be fewer chances to publicly question the arguments and scrutinize the record before the Court. www.npr.org/2026/09/02/n...

🚨Last week, the Roberts Court greenlit Trump's mail ballot mail voting rule for the 2026 midterms. The rule: USPS refuses to deliver mail ballots unless states redesign their envelopes AND upload voter data to a federal portal. This is a disenfranchisement scheme. PERIOD.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Voter rules? SCOTUS. Mail ballots? SCOTUS. Executive power? SCOTUS. Now: acting U.S. attorneys. When Trump hits any roadblocks, he goes running to his buddies on the Supreme Cour to fix it for him.

ALERT: SCOTUS's upcoming calendar just dropped. Oct 5 — Dec 9. Guns. Voting rights. Trans care. Asylum. Religious liberty. Title IX. The Roberts Court has shown us what it's willing to do. Stay vigilant.

Two emergency appeals to the Supreme Court in three days. Sunday: clear the USPS rule blocking mail-in ballots. Tuesday: clear the DHS SAVE database that federal judges say is removing U.S. citizens from voter rolls. Both programs federal judges already blocked. 10 weeks out. This is a sprint.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Justice Sotomayor has been screaming this for years. She called it out in Loper Bright. She called it out in Trump v. United States. She called it out in Jarkesy. Mike Johnson just validated every word. The Court has captured itself. It's time for reform.

Reminder: the President is currently selling $100,000/month subscriptions to people who want early access to his Truth Social posts before the stock market moves on them. Senators asked the SEC to look into it. The SEC was gutted by the Court he installed. Nothing to see here. Thanks, SCOTUS. 🟥

David Ellison (Trump ally + Skydance founder) wants to merge Paramount with Warner Bros Discovery. That puts CBS News. CNN. HBO. Under one roof. 22 state AGs just sued to block it. When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it should alarm everyone.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Reminder: Republicans just proved Supreme Court reform IS possible. Mike Johnson brought a constitutional amendment to the floor to lock the Court at 9 justices. It failed. But the fact that they had to TRY should be the headline.
