Indivisibles,

Nearly two and a half centuries ago tomorrow, our nation declared its
independence from the crown, and set about to create a system of
government without monarchs. The law alone, to paraphrase Thomas Paine,
would be king. 

That apparently did not sit well with the MAGA justices on the Supreme
Court. Perhaps their animosity to democratic government explains why some
fly flags in solidarity with insurrectionists trying to overthrow it. 

This week, JUST THREE DAYS BEFORE Independence Day, those justices voted
to restore the monarchy -- or at the very least monarchy lite -- with
their ruling in Trump’s immunity case. Don’t take our word for it:

“The president is now a king,” Justice Sotomayor wrote in her dissent.
“Above the law.” 

The ruling is incompatible with the continued functioning of our democracy
as we know it. This court, as currently constituted, is incompatible with
the continued functioning of our democracy as we know it. And if the MAGA
justices get their way and Trump wins a second term wielding the absolute
immunity the Supreme Court has granted him -- our democratic experiment is
in deep, deep trouble. 

It’s time to treat the Supreme Court’s corruption and lawless partisan
activism like the five alarm fire it is. We need Democrats talking about
this, constantly. We need Congress holding hearings to help the public
understand the threat. We need to organize to expand the court and to
elect members of Congress with the guts to do it. And we need to make sure
voters understand the stakes of this election: democracy vs.
dictatorship. 

There’s no better time than the week of July 4th to come out swinging
against judicial tyranny and the specter of authoritarianism in America.
Here’s what you can do right now: 

Help defeat Trump and elect a Democratic trifecta willing to reform this
out-of-control Supreme Court:

 1. [ [link removed] ]If you are in a swing state or district: Talk to your neighbors
using our Neighbor2Neighbor tool. Take this message to the streets.
Illustrate the chilling reality -- that a rogue Supreme Court is
working as an arm of Trump’s MAGA agenda. Talk to voters, explain the
stakes, and mobilize them to get involved. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]No matter where you live: We’ve just added a phonebank to voters in
Pennsylvania. Sign up now to talk to voters in this key swing state
that may decide whether or not Trump gets back into the White House,
and if MAGA is able to seize control of Congress.

Use this moment to build momentum toward court expansion:

 1. [ [link removed] ]Tell your Democratic senators to co-sponsor the Judiciary Act,
which calls for adding four seats to the Supreme Court. Here’s the
cold, hard truth: We don’t control the House or have the votes to
abolish the filibuster (yet!), so court expansion won’t happen before
the election. But we need to use moments like this to grow support for
these essential reforms. Right now, senators’ phones should be ringing
off the hooks with demands for expansion. Let’s get them on the record
supporting solutions that match the scale of the emergency we’re in. 
 2. [ [link removed] ]Urge your Democratic representative to co-sponsor the Judiciary Act
and sign onto the House Court Reform Task Force to signal their
commitment to restoring legitimacy to the Court. Democrats don’t
control the House, so once again, we’re playing the long game. And
this isn’t just about building support in the House -- this is about
getting Democrats to demonstrate to voters that they are willing to
fight to protect their rights and save our democracy.

[ [link removed] ]And finally, please consider chipping in to fund this work. There are
only 124 days until the election, and Indivisible volunteers are already
working to reach voters in battleground states and make this election a
referendum on MAGA extremism and the threat of a Trump presidency
unrestrained by the rule of law. We have the best volunteers, the most
effective tools, and a winning strategy, but the honest-to-God truth is
that the number of voters we can reach before Election Day depends on the
support we receive now. 

Happy Fourth of July, Indivisibles. Let's get out there and save our
democracy.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
