Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

[Dr. T. Anansi Wilson, JD, PhD 🇵🇸 @blaqueerflow]

1/2 Without an inch of irony, #SCOTUS has found that affirmative action, violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. A reconstruction amendment meant to make full citizens of African Americans and help undue the legacy of racism and chattel slavery. Throw the whole court away. #affirmativeaction

How does having a conference in Hawaii actually benefits Native Hawaiians, the land, or the waters?

Finishing #ASHE proposals and regretting the times I used esoteric terms to feel smart. I confused scholarly with classist.

Here is why media coverage that centers or only tells the story of the white foster families in #Brackeen betrays a deep anti-Indigenous bias: it erases what happened to the Native families. #ICWA

There's a massive prison strike underway in Alabama today, perhaps system wide, but at very least across a number of facilities. Prisoners not doing trash collection, refusing kitchen work and more.

@Dr_Catalano and I learned ALL the things last week including how @umasseduc voted to repurpose their mission to eradicate racism in the 70s. We need that commitment today. Thanks @UMassLibraries and especially @scua_umass!

@chris52nd I stubbornly refuse to backtrack and instead juggle and bobble my way to the registers

In 6-3 decision, written by Gorsuch, court rules public school employees may publicly lead students in prayer. Sotomayor writes the dissent. https://t.co/J4qx14Z5kB

In response to the #roeoverturned, we will continue to do what we always have done: Center the most vulnerable people in our lives to ensure that they have access to the services and information that they need. 1/3

No unelected body should have the power to strip people of their human right to autonomy, especially an institution as plagued by controversy, illegitimacy, and naked partisanship as the United States Supreme Court. @sandylocks on #DobbsVJWHO #RoeVWade #LiberateAbortion

I hope folks connect the destruction of rights, the ungodly increases in funding for police, the money for the war machine, the settler violence, the violent patriarchal shit, the anti-trans laws, the outlawing of teaching history and anti-racism.

None of it is by accident.

In a solo concurring opinion, Thomas says the court should reconsider rulings that protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

[Lambda Legal @LambdaLegal]

Today, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, undermining 50+ years of individual liberty, bodily autonomy, and gender equality rights.

We’ll be blunt – people will die because of this decision.

[Rep. Shontel Brown @RepShontelBrown]

Let me get this straight:

The Supreme Court says states cannot decide how to regulate guns—yet only the states can decide how to regulate a woman’s body.
