  6. #WTF

    Per #TheGuardian #MeToo

    New York’s highest court on Thursday #overturned Harvey #Weinstein’s 2020 #rapeconviction finding the judge at the landmark #MeToo trial prejudiced the ex-movie mogul with “egregious” improper rulings, including a decision to let women #testify about allegations that were not part of the case.
    The #courtofappeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America’s reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures – an era that began with a flood of #allegations.

  7. It's now law here: I cannot discriminate against you because of your religion, but you can discriminate against me because of your religion. Expand the illegitimate Supreme Court.

  8. A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.

    The
    #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."

    The ruling is a
    #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.

    The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be
    #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.

    The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.

  9. Judge's Decision Would Make Some No-Cost Cancer Screenings a Thing of the Past - Scientific American

    A federal judge on Thursday #overturned a portion of the Affordable Care Act that makes #preventive #services, such as some #cancer #screenings, #free to enrollees, a decision that could affect health insurance policyholders nationwide.

    The decision from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas could open the door for insurers or employers to #reinstate #copayments for some of those preventive services, although many may be reluctant or unable to do so, at least immediately.

    The ruling by U.S. District #Judge #Reed #OConnor builds on a September judgment in which he also said the ACA requirement that employers cover preexposure prophylaxis treatment to prevent HIV violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

    His ruling is the latest shot in the legal battle over the ACA. “Previous cases threatened the very existence of the law and fundamental protections. This decision does not do that,” said Larry Levitt, KFF executive vice president for health policy. But “it strikes down a portion of the law, albeit a very popular one, that is used by a lot of people.”

    It is almost certain to be #appealed, possibly by both sides: the conservative groups that brought the case and had hoped the decision would be broader, and the Biden administration, which supports the #ACA.

  14. CW: post-Roe, abortion, bodily autonomy

    Since we here in the US are still living in a post-Roe society, I figured I would roll this link out again, especially since we have such a huge hacker/biohacker/DIY/personal autonomy community here on Mastodon.
