On Monday, the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a case called #303Creative, an effort by @ADFLegal to overturn laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination.

I have a very important rule of thumb for you as you hear any of the discourse around this case... 🧵

Please consider donating to the Mike Levine Journalism Education Fund, which is dedicated to helping train young journalists in investigative reporting. I don't have to tell you how woefully needed this is in local community newsrooms, which have been decimated by budget cutbacks

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.

Don’t you dare act surprised.

Construction of I95 in Miami required the forcible relocation of over 12,000 residents—nearly 100% of them black. Using eminent domain, the gov't seized buildings across the heart of Miami's black community in Overtown, offering owners well below market rate—and renters nothing.

I still can't get over this, one of the most important "natural experiments" to come from COVID:

It's all right there in front of us, a free lunch pathway to reducing some of the most immense cruelty in our society.

Dems hanging onto the Senate in this environment is one of the most remarkable political stories.

And it’s largely thanks to voters under 30, women, and black voters.

Remember that when the media unleashes a *wave* of old, white, ossified men to tell you what to think.

@FLBoardofMed hearing re: eliminating access to gender-affirming care featured anti-trans public speakers at front of order, then hearing cut before opposition to new rules. Very good thread documenting absurd hearing, which included discussion of a *registry of trans youth*

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Florida channel has cut the hearing so I no longer can record the crowd.

They are approaching the front and shouting "Let them speak"

Florida cut off hearing early after only letting anti-trans witnesses speak.

They're about to vote to detransition all trans teens.

CALLING FOR 5-4 GUESTS: I am creating bonus episodes into a miniseries of sorts, about lefty lawyers doing innovative or creative work in the fight for social justice. This is about having a platform to talk about who is doing good work right now, and how they're doing it (1/3)

Last Friday, CBS cancelled a segment about our clients suing Amazon for selling suicide kits to their now deceased kids. CBS’ cowardice gave me renewed clarity about how urgent this litigation is. 🧵@naomi_leeds 1/
