Florida's bathroom ban has taken effect overnight. Trans people now can be arrested and imprisoned for a year.
The law IGNORES legal gender markers, and enforcement is going to be a disaster.

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.
After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

The only panicking going on is you guys after going 0-6 in court.
Tennessee’s ban was just blocked in court.
Your legacy will be “that one bearded guy who tried and failed to circumvent the constitution to hurt trans kids”

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

I see someone has taken a critical race theory course. Do his conservative friends know?

Amazing!
Kentucky and Tennessee gender affirming care bans were just blocked in court and ruled as likely unconstitutional.
States are 0-6 on gender affirming care bans.
Banning gender affirming care for trans youth is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
WE JUST KEEP WINNING!

This Court has still largely blessed the efforts of the Republican Party to tilt the playing field away from democracy to keep itself entrenched in power even as a majority of citizens would oppose their candidates and policies. /9

...and one of its most pernicious effects is to entrench and legitimize Roberts's indefensibly terrible decision in Rucho v. Common Cause, which held that partisan gerrymandering claims are not justiciable under the Constitution. /7

So we "won" this holding action in that the Supreme Court rejected a position that would have handed an increasingly-minority party yet another tool to outright steal elections from the majority. That's good, of course. But the majority's opinion here was written by Roberts... /6

Many have asked about @ZoAndBehold and I’s relationship and careers… so we invited the AP to watch as we toured the country to confront the worst anti-lgbtq laws and speak to the people who will fight them.
They captured our love and our resistance.

And we once again begin the cycle of celebrating John Roberts for not doing the most insane thing possible right before the court does some really terrible shit that hurts lots of people.
