“In all, then, the Supreme Court’s majority has — in a total of five paragraphs over two orders — allowed Noem’s effort to proceed in opposition to seven rulings from seven judges, amounting to 227 pages of opinions.” www.lawdork.com/p/supreme-co...

Supreme Court lets Noem end legal status for many Venezuelans in the U.S.

The majority gave virtually no reasoning. The Democratic appointees objected, but only Justice Jackson wrote: "[Y]et another grave misuse of our emergency docket."

NON-NEGOTIABLE: REFORM SCOTUS ON DAY ONE

Since SCOTUS "had not offered an explanation for its earlier emergency ruling. 'We can only guess as to the court’s rationale when it provides none,' a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals noted."

Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke protected immigration status for thousands of Venezuelans

“They” is not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in use since the 13th century. And has been used by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen.

“Them" is also not a “made-up pronoun.” It has been in constant usage since before the 12th century.

Was saving Jimmy Kimmel's show a one-off event? Jimmy was one part of Disney making programming decisions based on what the MAGA Christian Nationalists want. With LGBTQ content they've been doing it for years. Look at this year's film Elio. Now, MAGA is going after Netflix.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.
