As I’ve written, it was always unlikely that SCOTUS would reconsider marriage equality in this particular case.
But make no mistake: there remains a real appetite to erode LGBTQ equality. And—even with today’s welcome news—we must vigilantly fight back.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court has declined to consider a challenge to its landmark 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The challenge came from a county clerk who stopped issuing marriage licenses shortly after the ruling.

Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to landmark gay marriage ruling
The announcement indicates there is not an appetite among the high court’s conservative majority to revisit one of the court’s most significant decisions in recent years.

Many of our residents and clients rely on SNAP to afford food - just like millions of Americans. We are thankful that our Washtenaw County Prosecutor is fighting for us all. Thanks, @esavit.bsky.social!
BREAKING: The Trump Administration has filed an “emergency” appeal of a court order requiring it to pay SNAP benefits.
And just now, we’ve joined over 80 local governments & officials in filing a brief urging the continuation of those benefits. /1

Today, SCOTUS allowed the government to seize those who look Latino, speak Spanish/accented English, & work a (legal!) low-wage job.
More litigation ahead. But this decision—& what it allows—is repulsive to our Constitution & freedom. It'll be remembered as such for generations.

Proud to stand with striking Teamsters 332 nurses at Henry Ford Genesys today.
And it bears emphasis (on Labor Day!) they’re striking for us all. They’re fighting not just for fair working conditions, but for safe nurse-to-patient ratios—so those needing medical treatment can get care they deserve.

The University of Michigan’s decision—under federal threats—to cease providing gender-affirming care to young people is bone-chilling.
Gender-affirming care’s legal in Michigan, & federally.
Yet Trump’s executive order & sham “investigations” cowed a major provider into not offering that care. /1

Right now, the government’s holding hearings on a Trump proposal that could eliminate climate regulation in the US.
State AGs can—& must—fight back. I will. I’ll fight to stop Trump’s EPA from toppling the first domino to end climate action. And I’ll fight at every step to protect our future.

Corporations shouldn’t be allowed to jack prices up based on who people are—or what they’re going through.
Yet companies are shifting to AI price models that could do just that.
