Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Not that pausing this is anything less than insane, but note that SCOTUS has recently given administrative stays and then ruled against Trump after that. Nothing is a given either way
The fight isn't over until it's over. Don't read this news and give in the doom and cynicism Trump wants us all to have. We can still fight back, and people are still fighting. 5 million were on the street on Saturday. There's another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th
I mean, I think a lot of those rulings against Trump have been after they would make any difference and are just being done to keep up the appearance that they'll be some kind of check on him (which after the immunity ruling seems like a pretty insane thing to believe, but people really want it to be true so they'll grasp at whatever this court gives them), and either way this court has been an unacceptable problem demanding reform since Citizens United, let alone Dobbs.
This I 100% agree with. My point in bringing up how corrupt the court is is not to make people feel hopeless but rather to make them realize that things are not normal and we cannot just sit back and wait for an authority figure to come and save us. We have to fight back, but we can do that and we are. Like you said, 5 million were on the street on Saturday, and there's another nationwide 50501 protest on April 19th, and I'm hoping it will be even bigger.
