Breaking news: In the first ruling of its kind nationwide, a Montana state court decided Monday in favor of young people who alleged the state violated their right to a “clean and healthful environment” by promoting the use of fossil fuels.
The court determined that a provision in the Montana Environmental Policy Act has harmed the state’s environment and the young plaintiffs, by preventing Montana from considering the climate impacts of energy projects. https://t.co/1EhF5nZHy4

BREAKING: Voters in Michigan just voted to make abortion a right protected by their state constitution.
Abortion is our right — and safe, legal abortion care is here to stay in Michigan.
The so-called “Supreme Court” just ruled 6-3 that public school teachers can now lead students in prayer.
In case anyone was wondering what’s happening here.
Som abortion thoughts: I teach sex ed and when I explain the menstrual cycle, I emphasize that if you are expecting your period, it’s one day late, and you take a pregnancy test, if it comes back positive, you are considered 4 weeks + 1 day into your pregnancy.
So, as I understand the Supreme Court, the government can arrest and jail you without Miranda rights, execute you even if your lawyer screws up, force you to have a baby, and use tax dollars to support religion.
But it can't protect your right to vote or keep you safe from guns.
With the horrible Supreme Court decision overturning Roe out today, a few things Michiganders should know:
(1) Abortion (for now) REMAINS PROTECTED IN MICHIGAN.
Though there is an old law criminalizing abortion on the books, it's been blocked from being enforced by a judge. /1
If history has taught us anything, it is that poor, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people will suffer the most from Roe v. Wade being overturned. We must name that.
