A manufacturer of the #AbortionMedication #mifepristone asked #SCOTUS Saturday to immediately restore full access to the medication, putting the contentious issue of #abortion back before the justices in an #election year. #law #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt #health #medicine #AbortionIsHealthcare #WomensRights #ReproductiveRights #Republicans #ViolenceAgainstWomen https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/us/politics/supreme-court-mail-abortion-pill.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Me on the Fifth Circuit’s massive Friday night ruling purporting to re-impose the in-person dispensation requirement for Mifepristone; how it’s déjà vu all over again; and how it’s a good reminder of why, sometimes, we need an emergency docket at #SCOTUS:

GA Governor Brian Kemp won't redistrict Georgia - THIS election. So gear up to fight him for 2028 as he engages in the usual GOP racism to try to reduce minority representation. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/live-blog/iran-war-60-day-authorization-threshold-trump-hegseth-congress-rcna343015/rcrd109325?canonicalCard=true #uspol #democracy #scotus #georgia #vra

A new lawsuit is challenging Louisiana’s extraordinary decision to suspend congressional primaries already underway — arguing the state is illegally nullifying votes and plunging an active election into chaos following the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/louisiana-sued-for-suspending-active-election-nullifying-votes-to-draft-gop-gerrymander/ #voting #democracy #uspol #scotus #vra

#GiftArticle #SCOTUS kills #VotingRights The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics. #law #ElectionLaw #CivilRights #democracy #RepresentationMatters #authoritarianism #illiberalism #PartisanCourt #ActivistCourt https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/us/politics/supreme-courts-voting-rights-gerrymandering.html?unlocked_article_code=1.fFA.NAaT.LyRxcoyihmGB&smid=nytcore-ios-share

They sacked the Capitol and brought the Confederate flag, but racism poses no threat to democracy in America, so there’s no cause for concern, according to Roberts et al. #uspol #voting #SCOTUS #democracy

‘This isn’t what I voted for’ Oh, Hell yeah you did! You should have stopped playing Candy Crush and updating Facebook every 3 minutes and paid more attention to who you were voting for. The writing was on the wall the whole time. #MAGA #gop #republicans #democracy #politics #trump #scotus #dictatorship #constitution #epstein #EpsteinFiles #iran #middleeast #Israel #news #worldnews

It's hitting me how the slow arc of justice my elders fought and died to set in motion has been halted by the Calais decision. This morning, I was on a call with another (highly accomplished) middle-aged Black women and this is how we processed it together: We are realizing that we (including our younger elder millennial sisters) are likely to be the LAST generation of Black women who will achieve so much. This decision is not just a gutting of the VRA but the highest court's massive rejection of the idea that this country is, indeed, a land of opportunity for everyone. The court is now an overt and explicitly complicit engine of white nationalism. THAT is how much anti-Blackness has been simmering underneath this facade of 'American democracy.' So now, Black folks, we need to decide. Retreat, close ranks to protect our own, and/or fight for a renewed Reconstruction on top of the smoldering ruins of this gotdamn system? #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #SCOTUS #CivilRights #BlackHistoryEveryDay

The decision centers on #tariffs imposed under an “emergency” powers #law, including the sweeping “reciprocal” #tariffs he levied on nearly every other country on earth. It’s the first major piece of Trump’s broad agenda to come squarely before the nation’s highest court, which he helped shape with the appointments of 3 conservative jurists in his first term. #law #economy #geopolitics #Trump #SCOTUS #affordability #inflation #CostOfLiving

#Trump did his usual rote #lying about the #economy — pity the fact-checkers who tried to keep up even in the first 10 minutes or so of the speech — along with some of his other greatest hits, including the many #wars he stopped [🙄] & the magic of #tariffs. (He referred to the “unfortunate involvement” of #SCOTUS on the tariff issue, as if the justices barged into his office like interlopers.) #SOTU

@cdarwin@c.im Trading one traitorous #GOP partisan hack on #SCOTUS for another doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference. The justices that are NOT #GOP partisan hacks just need to hold on until 2028.

If #SCOTUS overturns birthright citizenship, Marco Rubio could lose his U.S. citizenship, if they apply any ruling to politically "connected" people. Rubio's parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio's birth on May 28, 1971. They were naturalized in 1975. His parents were Cubans, of Spanish and Italian descent, who immigrated to the United States in 1956 during the regime of Fulgencio Batista, two and a half years before Fidel Castro ascended to power after the Cuban Revolution., which Rubio lied about and said he fled the Castro regime. #USPol

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social #TACO vorrà anche firmare la decisione finale di #SCOTUS. Come per i nuovi dollari celebrativi. Ha dimenticato di firmare i #Epstein files.

Kids can be subjected to harmful 'conversion therapy,’ U.S. Supreme Court rules, court saying conversion therapy is basically protected 1st amendment speech since it is primarily "talking." The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday, on Transgender Day of Visibility, struck down Colorado’s ban on so-called “conversion therapy” for minors. The decision elevates abstract free-speech doctrine over a growing body of medical evidence and leaves LGBTQ+ youth more exposed to a practice doctors have long described as harmful. The Court ruled 8–1, with a broad majority, including two liberal justices, joining the opinion striking down the law, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting. Colorado argued that conversion therapy is not merely an expression but a form of clinical intervention — one associated, major medical groups say, with depression, anxiety, and increased suicide risk. The Court was unpersuaded and concluded that the Constitution does not allow the government to decide which messages may be delivered in a therapist’s office. 🔗 Kids can be subjected to harmful 'conversion therapy,’ U.S. Supreme Court rules #News #SCOTUS #USPol It's a stunning setback for #LGBTQ+ young people who are put at significant risk for harm by this decision. https://www.advocate.com/news/scotus-rejects-conversion-therapy-bans
