Supreme Court rules ex-presidents have broad immunity, dimming chance of a pre-election Trump trial

The SWP take: We all need to remember that this November, we’re not just electing a President for four years. We’re deciding who will appoint Supreme Court Justices that will impact our rights and freedoms for decades. It’s up to us to decide if we want a Dictatorship or Democracy.

Trump seeks to disavow 'Project 2025' despite ties to conservative group

The SWP take: Trump distancing himself from Project 2025 shows the pressure is working. This is exactly why we need to keep talking about it and the importance of voting in 2024. We’re all going to need to vote for candidates who share our vision for what America should be — so we can ensure that we still have a democracy that allows us to vote the next time elections come around.
