  1. This is what I remember (and I'm old enough to remember). Abortion was mostly a Catholic issue, and the Evangelicals could give a crap. But then they realized that #RacialSegregation wasn't possible, so they decided to try and control womens' bodies instead!

    The #ReligiousRight and the Abortion Myth

    White evangelicals in the 1970s didn’t initially care about abortion. They organized to defend #racial #segregation in evangelical institutions — and only seized on banning abortion because it was more palatable than their real goal

    Harris vs #Trump: #America’s sudden #gender #election
    "Clinton did warn tt a Trump victory wld lead to the end of #RoevsWade. #Harris has e advantage of pointing out tt it has happened.. She can avoid some of the curse of incumbency. Trump has a record to attack, too. He is suddenly e #oldman in the race.. She has more latitude to reach out to #white men than Trump can to #women of any #colour. But tt will take dexterity"

    By overturning Chevron, the Supreme Court has declared war on an administrative state that touches everything from net neutrality to climate change.

    "Since the New Deal era, the bulk of the functioning US government is the administrative state — think the acronym soup of agencies like the #EPA, #FCC, #FTC, #FDA, and so on. Even when Capitol Hill is not mired in deep dysfunction, the speed at which Congress and the courts operate no longer seems suitable for modern life. Both industry and ordinary people look to the administrative state, rather than legislators, for an immediate answer to their problems. And since 1984, the administrative state largely ran on one Supreme Court precedent: #ChevronUSA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council (#NRDC).

    "That decision has now been overturned. Admin law is not always interesting, but the simple fact is when it comes to the day-to-day, agencies are the most impactful part of the federal government. No single policy writer at The Verge can fully articulate the impact of Friday’s Supreme Court decision and how profound its effects will be. The administrative state touches everything around us: net neutrality, climate change, #CleanAir and water, and what scant #ConsumerProtections we have.

    "While the practice had been in place for decades before, it came to be known as Chevron deference after a 1984 case: Chevron v. NRDC. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chevron, allowing the #RonaldReagan administration’s #industry-friendly Environmental Protection Agency to stick with a lax interpretation of the #CleanAirAct.

    "Over the years, Chevron deference has enabled federal agencies to tackle all sorts of issues that legislators have yet to cover — from addressing greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change to regulating broadband access. As the conservative legal movement to disempower the administrative state grew, Chevron deference became — in certain circles — shorthand for #GovernmentOverreach.

    "Before its decision to overturn Chevron, the Supreme Court had already dealt a blow to federal agencies’ regulatory authority by strengthening the 'major questions' doctrine in its 2022 decision in West Virginia v. EPA. According to the major questions doctrine, a federal agency shouldn’t have the leeway to craft regulation on an issue of major national significance if Congress hasn’t explicitly allowed it to do so in legislation.

    "The same bloc of six #conservative justices that formed the majority in West Virginia v. EPA also overturned the longstanding precedent of #RoeVsWade — an even older case than Chevron — in the same month. When two cases calling for an end to Chevron deference worked their way up to the Supreme Court this year, the writing was on the wall — and once again, those same six justices overturned Chevron.

  4. ‘We were birthed from the Earth’

    #TwoSpirit #activist stands up for #Native #reproductiverights

    "We were birthed from the Earth. We have become the protectors of the sacred, the protectors of this land, the protectors of our lives — and that means we get to choose what is best for our lives.

    "It is our choice, our bodies, our rights, our lands that have been stolen. Our elders and ancestry, our culture, our language has been stolen, and now our Indigenous sovereignty has been stolen when you take our reproductive rights from us,"
    -- Candi Brings Plenty (they/she).

    "A chaotic and heated scene played out here in the nation’s capital as a #NativeActivist advocated for tribal #sovereignty on the steps of the highest court in the land.

    "Candi Brings Plenty (they/she), a Two Spirit #WaterProtector and land defender from the #OglalaSioux Tribe, opened an event marking the unprecedented loss of women’s reproductive rights with remarks in the #Lakota language. But several counter-protesters — all of them non-Native — repeatedly tried to disrupt the gathering that was held on the second anniversary of the overturning of the Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    "Yet #BringsPlenty, who was a prominent figure in the movement against the #DakotaAccessPipeline, stood their ground. Holding an eagle feather fan and a sign in defense of tribal rights, they able to acknowledge the ancestral lands of the #Nacotchtank and the #Piscataway peoples who have lived in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding areas since time immemorial — even as one non-Native went so far as to try and block others from witnessing the Women’s Strike event."

    ...of the #MagnaCarta 2), which only applied to barrons and the clergy, 👉the #US--despite #Reconstruction and all the Amendments--were never able to really overcome systemic racism and plutocratic discrimination.👈

    In fact, ever since #CitizensUnitedVsFEC, the pendulum has been swinging in the opposite direction, so far culminating in the overturning of #RoeVsWade.

    Alas, we are living in at...
