The Supremes, continuing their wrecking-ball approach to jurisprudence, have just ruled that lower, district court judges --which have issued dozens of nationwide injunctions stopping Trump policies, including on key trans issues -- can longer do so.

Supreme Court limits lower courts' power to block Trump

The rising number of nationwide injunctions has exploded under Trump.

Assigned Media's own Evan Urquhart writes that NYT articles were cited 29 times (!) in amicus briefs filed with the Supreme Court in its recent U.S. v Skrmetti decision. :-{{ @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

NY Times cited 29 times to justify decision limiting trans healthcare

Meanwhile, other mainstream media newsrooms treated the U.S. v. Skrmetti case as an opportunity to center coverage around the expected result.

Re-reading @queergeog.bsky.social’s @dialogueshg.bsky.social article it is suddenly painfully clear to me what senior faculty actually mean when they tell me I’m shaping the future of my discipline. How do they not appreciate that to shape geography’s future I have to remain a part of its present?
