Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

Once again, I recommend Justice Sotomayor’s powerful dissent, which she read from the bench. (The SCOTUS equivalent of screaming.) It’s all straightforward and accessible.

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the news of emancipation finally reaching America's last enslaved people, and we recommit to fighting to deliver the true promise of America for all, even against right-wing backlash.

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status."
SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status"
Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.
