Trump's deportation machine has been used to silence journalists and surveil political opponents. That's not immigration policy. That's an authoritarian playbook with a badge. And it's widening every month.

AI leaders forecast mass job displacement. Protests against data centers are spreading nationwide. People aren't anti-technology. They're anti-unaccountable. That Isn't Hysteria. That's Democracy.

FBI whistleblower says the White House ordered an investigation of anti-ICE protesters — for using megaphones to tell neighbors their legal rights. The reason: "Because the President wants this investigation." Knowing Your Rights Is Not A Crime. In This White House, It Is.

Election deniers are pushing Trump to have his Commerce Secretary seize voting machines before the midterms. Election Day is less than a month away. Our elections are run by states, not one man's tantrum.

Maine voters passed an overwhelming ban on foreign money in elections. A federal court struck it down last week — on Supreme Court precedents. Now a Republican Texas state senator is leading the push to overturn Citizens United. This is what a tipping point looks like.

Alito's new book recycles his old speeches into a "definitive view" of the Constitution. Here's the actual record: emergency rulings for Trump, no hearings, no reasons. One justice selling speeches. One shadow docket selling outcomes.

The Supreme Court's new term is here, and democracy is again in the crosshairs. Last term, they gutted the Voting Rights Act 6-3. This term they hear Arizona's proof-of-citizenship scheme. They block more eligible voters than actual fraud.

Trump demanded ABC lose its licenses for not airing one of his speeches. His FCC chair tried to make it happen. A federal judge this week was not buying it.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is calling out the Shadow Docket— where the Court hands Trump emergency wins with no hearing. We see what they're doing. Now we make everyone else see it too.

Trump's DOJ just filed 40 cases to strip naturalized Americans of their citizenship. They've already identified 384 people to target. This is the largest denaturalization effort in modern history — and they're bragging about it.

Trump blocked POLITICO from Air Force One. A federal judge already ruled his media ban "likely violated" their constitutional rights. So now he defies it one outlet at a time. Today, his plane took off with NO print pooler aboard. This Is What Authoritarians Do.

This is how they undo voting rights: they change the rules after you already won. The Supreme Court sent Washington's Latino voting power case back down, because their April ruling turned "protecting minority voters" into a crime. That's not law. That’s a heist.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
The Supreme Court said NO to cases on student speech, the Second Amendment, and COVID mandates. No arguments. No votes released. No reasons given. That leaves bad lower court rulings standing for MILLIONS of people.

Trump's DOJ is sending 1,000 federal personnel to polling places for the midterms. That's the biggest election monitoring operation in American history. When the NAACP asked for records on who these people are? DOJ said maybe. So they sued.

264,000 Virginians can't vote because of a felony conviction. Nearly half are Black. This is a Jim Crow-era rule written in 1902 to erase Black voters — and it still works exactly as designed. It's on the ballot this November.

A Reagan-appointed judge blocked Trump's policy denying trans inmates hormone therapy and surgery. A divided appeals court wouldn't pause it either. So the administration ran to the Supreme Court. Cruelty needs the Captured Court too, apparently.

The Supreme Court’s next decisions will shape our safety and daily lives. This court was bought and directed by corporate special interests. Now it takes up assault bans in CT and IL. Real freedom is living without fearing a spree shooter.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
The Supreme Court's new term starts today. Trump is already using the emergency docket to force through a ban on health care for trans inmates. A judge said no. A divided appeals court said no. The Justices could act within days. We're watching.

OUTSIDE SPENDING since Citizens United: 2008: $574 million. 2024: $4.5 billion. Dark money hit $1.4 billion. Elon Musk alone spent $290 million. And the Roberts Court STRUCK DOWN even more limits on party spending. They just rule however their billionaire donors tell them to.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
The numbers don't lie. Bush and Obama filed 8 emergency petitions at the Supreme Court in 16 years combined. Trump filed 32 in ONE year. And won 80% of them. That's not judging. That's a MAGA Court rubber stamp. Rein in this Court.

Never forget. 4 of 9 justices said Trump could strip citizenship from babies born on American soil. Kavanaugh. Thomas. Alito. and Gorsuch. We were ONE justice away from unmaking the 14th Amendment.

The Roberts Court's report card last term: Racial profiling by ICE: GREENLIT. Voting Rights Act: GUTTED. Power to fire independent regulators: HANDED TO TRUMP. Election spending limits: GONE. More 6-3 power grabs than EVER. Their next term begins next week. Stay vigilant.

Mitch McConnell built the MAGA Court and he brags about it. He blocked Garland for 293 days. He jammed Barrett through 8 days before an election. Who pays the price? All of us.

NEVER FORGET: John Roberts' war on Black voting power didn't start at the Supreme Court. It started in 1981, when a 26-year-old Reagan Justice Department lawyer wrote more than 25 memos to gut the Voting Rights Act. This was never legal philosophy. It's his lifelong project.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
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.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
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.

U.S. Supreme Court sides with Trump administration in third-country deportations
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to resume deportations of migrants to countries that are not identified in their removal orders. It also plans to hear full arguments on the case.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
🚨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.

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
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 seeks to use congressional redistricting map expected to benefit Republicans

United For Democracy @weareufd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
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.

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.

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.
