[Multiple challenges]( to the law made their way to the Supreme Court, but the right-wing supermajority permitted the blatantly unconstitutional ban to stay in effect, a warning sign of what was to come. We know by now that a Supreme Court filled with corruption, self-interest, and dangerous extremism won’t save us. But pivoting to focus on grassroots, on-the-ground work in states that can shift the trajectory of the nation—like Texas—will give us a fighting chance.
