#124 How to Fight Legalized Cruelty

Skill Level: 🐾 Intermediate — Requires persistence, rage control, and a working phone

🧠 The Tool: Legal Awareness as Direct Action

You can’t fight what you don’t understand — and that’s exactly why the regime wants the law to sound like gibberish. This week’s Supreme Court term shows how fascism hides behind “procedure.” So your tool today isn’t a protest sign — it’s legal literacy sharpened into action.

Learn to decode court language, track rulings, and pressure elected officials in real time. These cases are designed to confuse people into silence. Don’t give them that satisfaction.

💣 Why It’s Important

The Supreme Court is now hearing Chiles v. Salazar, where the right wing is arguing that banning conversion therapy violates “free speech.” Translation: they want to protect a counselor’s “right” to emotionally torture LGBTQ+ kids. If they win, 20 state bans could vanish overnight. AP News, 10/7/25

At the same time, Barrett v. United States is testing the limits of the Double Jeopardy Clause, deciding whether the government can sentence someone twice for one act if they creatively label the charges differently. SCOTUSblog, 2025

And while the Court toys with our rights, Attorney General Pam Bondi is defending Trump’s DOJ weaponization before Congress — pretending it’s “law and order” while it’s really “obey or be punished.” Axios, 10/6/25

If we don’t make these stories mainstream, the regime wins twice: once in court, once in silence.

🐾 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Track the Docket
Bookmark SCOTUSblog and check daily updates. Each docket tells you which rights are being argued over.

Step 2: Translate the Legalese
Find plain-English summaries (ACLU, Brennan Center, Lambda Legal). When fascists hide behind jargon, shine a light — explain it clearly and loudly on social media.

Step 3: Pressure Your Representatives
Call or email Senate Judiciary members today. Demand they question Bondi on DOJ politicization and commit to investigating the Epstein file cover-up.

Step 4: Protect the Vulnerable
Share hotlines for LGBTQ+ youth (like The Trevor Project) and mental health orgs fighting the fallout from conversion therapy.

Step 5: Educate Your Circles
Host a local or online teach-in about these cases. People listen to friends more than news anchors. Bring snacks — resistance runs on carbs and caffeine.

Step 6: Document & Archive
Screenshot lies, save transcripts, log every procedural trick. Authoritarianism thrives on people forgetting the details. Don’t let them.

Step 7: Support the Fighters
Donate to or uplift organizations filing amicus briefs:

• Lambda Legal (conversion therapy case)
• ACLU (free speech & due process)
• Brennan Center (judicial accountability)

The law isn’t sacred. People are.
When cruelty gets a gavel, we drag it into the sunlight and claw it apart.
