I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Those of us who work in the civil justice system learn that major losses are inevitable. Today’s SCOTUS rulings are profound losses. But that is not the end for those of us on the side of people. We continue to stand and we do not surrender, even if fascism has infected the Supreme Court.

Skrmetti is a good example of how the principles underlying gender equality—of dignity and freedom, of the sexed body at birth not constraining the possibilities for a human life—unite the struggles for trans people and cis women’s equality. Because Skrmetti spells very bad news for cis women, too.
