NY allowed religious exemptions from school vaccine mandates.
It spurred a measles outbreak, so the state passed a law ending the exemption.
Parents + schools + 22 red states asked SCOTUS to strike down the law and restore the exemption.
It appears … QUITE interested.

If nothing else good came from 2025, the fact that many Black women (including me) burned our proverbial capes is a thin silver lining within the horrors of the present.
We've got to save ourselves, our families, and our communities...the nation said "NO" to our bid to save it, and we said "heard."

ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety.
Five were kept for 168 days.
Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care.
This crosses a moral line.

The people in Trump’s orbit believe they are special.
That they are exempt from the rules of gravity, the “throw-a-punch-but-can-never-take-a punch“ shitposter mentality & ignominy that govern Trump’s demesne.
They never believe they will be treated as they have treated others.

Same for lawyers, some medial specialities, marketing etc - fields previously thought too specialized. I don’t think they believe the tech is good enough to replace these workers. They believe it no longer matters to making a profit. And they are kind of right in the short term.

I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.
