Once again, SCOTUS dismisses the rights of women.
In this case, the right to choose who provides our healthcare, including cancer screening, birth control, and STI testing.
By allowing Medicaid to disallow providers (Planned Parenthood), women will be left with few to no providers in some areas.

From prenatal support to cancer screenings, Planned Parenthood is dedicated to the full spectrum of women's health care.
The Supreme Court is telling women that their lives are disposable and their health doesn't matter. Shameful.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows states to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood.
States can cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, the Supreme Court rules
A divided Supreme Court is allowing states to cut off Medicaid money for Planned Parenthood amid a wider Republican-backed push to defund the organization, the country’s largest abortion provider.

JUNETEENTH in Harlem.
This is what America is about.
Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep.
It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

So brilliant. Been saying this. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is the most intelligent Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court and it is not a close call.
Justice Jackson taking on Gorsuch's "pure textualism" and arguing for a more holistic reading of Congress' handiwork—worth reading in full. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![The majority’s contention that I reject “ ‘pure textualism’ [a]s insufficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek,” ante, at 10, stems from an
unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative
task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And,
indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is
imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia
of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A methodology that includes consideration of Congress’s aims does exactly that—
and no more. By contrast, pure textualism’s refusal to try to understand
the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to
achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing
judicial policy preferences. By “finding” answers in ambiguous text, and
not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources
of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own preferences as “textual” inevitabilities. So, really, far from being “insufficiently pliable,” I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable—that’s
its primary problem—and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexible enough to secure the majority’s desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreih3qdtlloz3yhggypbtwiveqdgzzfgapsnetvq7qsni7wfmyuovoi@jpeg)

Government employees are receiving a lot of cruel and baseless disparagement from Elon and the DOGE kids. I want federal workers to know we have their back and that we love them.
I hope seeing these signs up makes them smile during what is a dark time.

I think I've found an ally.
The word “woke” originally comes from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and means “being awake to social injustice,” especially racism. It is a positive term, encouraging awareness and activism against inequality.
That “woke” became negative is a sign that social injustice is under attack.
