10 Nov 2025 -- Supreme Court turns down right-wing appeal to re-visit gay marriage decision Obergefell v Hodges, and potentially carve out exceptions for (mainly Christian conservative) anti-marriage officials. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling
The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

Just got word from my college roommate - who is the state archivist for the state of South Dakota - that due to the DOGE shutdowns of IMLS, they can no longer fund InterLibrary Loan in SD.
This means exchange between libraries, ability to get books delivered across the system, is gone as of 4/30.

Millions of eligible voters lack easy access to citizenship documents.
Democrat or Republican, the SAVE Act would keep eligible Americans, including women, people of color, rural voters, and people with disabilities from accessing the ballot box.
This is voter suppression.

Wish that PA’s Attorney General would join this lawsuit. Federal support for libraries and museums should NOT be a partisan issue. Millions of $$$ in funding will be lost.
