Powerful words from J. Jackson in today's #SCOTUS conversion therapy case: "Before now, licensed medical professionals had to adhere to standards when treating patients ... Today, the Court turns its back on that tradition. And, to be completely frank, no one knows what will happen now."

The Supreme Court’s decision today in Chiles v. Salazar is a devastating step backward that will cause real harm to American children and families. By weaponizing the First Amendment, the Court has elevated anti-LGBTQ+ bias over the safety, health, and wellbeing of young people.

When a shitty Supreme Court ruling happens, it's good to remember that adding a couple justices isn't going to cut it. We should triple its size. Here's the argument I agree with: time.com/5338689/supr...

The Supreme Court Doesn't Need 9 Justices. It Needs 27
Such a proposal isn’t unconstitutional, nor even that radical

YouGov poll finds North Carolina Democrats lead the generic ballot 43-36 for the legislature and Supreme Court. Republicans have gerrymandered NC to extremes, but Dems are poised to block GOP legislative supermajorities. A high single-digit lead is where the NC House majority itself comes into play

Bad news. (Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenter; Kagan has been disappointing, lately.) If a therapist tells a client to cut themselves or stop eating in order to drive out the demons, will SCOTUS call that protected speech, too? Ffs. www.axios.com/2026/03/31/s...
