one remedy against the coming SCOTUS: elect govs who'll veto abortion restrictions & gerrymanders, state lawmakers who'll expand labor & reproductive rights, Secretaries of State who'll replace aggressive purges with voting rights agenda, DAs who'll refrain from cruel punishments
not just vote: also publicize & mobilize around these local races' fault lines & stakes, which are often obscured & under-covered (e.g. for legislative primaries or DA/Sheriff). In fact, these risk growing even less covered given troubles of local press.
one example: prospect that SCOTUS strike down death penalty any time soon dissolved today. If this is something you care about, focus on next DA race in NV's Clark Co., a death penalty capital. (Incumbent just won against an opponent calling for scaling back the death penalty.)
another example: if you care about how Ohio treats its voter registration rolls (which SCOTUS just ruled two weeks ago), this November's Secretary of State race between Kathleen Clyde (D) & Frank LaRose (R) couldn't be more important. 
another example: if you care about voting rights & collective bargaining (which SCOTUS will continue assailing), doesn't get bigger than MO's August veto referendum on "right to work" & FL's popular initiative on rights restoration. Both took tremendous organizing, & more needed.
another example: SCOTUS blew up the national Medicaid expansion years ago, but now the amazing work of @reclaimID has put the expansion on Idaho's ballot this November—and Maine is a new governor away from expanding Medicaid as well.
Have the local candidates we vote for committed to avoiding solitary confinement & protect defendant rights, to fighting purges, to prosecutorial oversight, to anti-discrimination laws & ordinances—all issues we've looked to SCOTUS for but where the door is closing tight?
To be clear: this is no panacea! Federal protections & programs like VRA, Roe, NLRA, Social Security are essential, require power in federal institutions, & are now or cd soon be under SCOTUS threat. I only mean to point to other sites of organizing on issues SCOTUS will target.
