Message your Senators and tell them to vote no on the bill that would hamstring the Judiciary from holding Trump accountable.
You can copy and paste this letter and add your congressperson’s names.

This isn’t a form letter, this is a copy of the letter sent from the ACLU.
Yes, but you can replace the names as I said above and send it as is.
No you can’t, the entire letter is written in first person for the ACLU
I did anyway, but you’re right. I edited the title for accuracy.
Sadly, I don’t think they care about your letters.
They do, just don’t copy/paste because they ignore that. Use the ACLU form letter and, ahem, your reading of the bill/news surrounding it, to write your own letter.
I don’t fall for defeatism.
When one billionaire has more political influence than millions of voters, it’s not defeatism, it’s reality. They answer to the monied class, not the working.
Yeah, I’m by no means saying give up. It’s just this particular method of protest only works when your representatives actually care about you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They don’t care about us
I wish you luck.
From the letter:
The American Civil Liberties Union urges you to vote NO on H.R. 1526, the “No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025.” This bill would prohibit federal district courts from issuing injunctive relief that extends beyond the parties to a particular case. This means that federal district courts would no longer be allowed to issue nationwide injunctions when examining federal policies, even if those policies have a nationwide effect.
Text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1526/text
Here I thought I was keeping up with the firehose, but this legislation is really insane. Only appellate courts could issue injunctions that apply beyond the parties and those represented by a party (e.g., class action).
This law would mean that every case is an individual determination. Every single wronged person would have to sue to enjoin a law that violates basic human rights.
This means that instead of Trump doing something blatantly illegal and unconstitutional and a court issuing an order immediately enjoining it, it may be months or years where he can act illegally before a higher court rules on it.
If this passes then blue states need to start “flooding the zone”. Pass laws that directly go against the Trump admin and see how much they whine about not having the ability to stop all the “abuse of power”.
Exactly right. This is extremely dangerous legislation.
