Celebs react to law that protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination

The Supreme Court just issued a monumental ruling on LGBTQ rights. Good can still prevail in America. https://t.co/EfqO3yFm3F

I think this ruling is groundbreaking and friggin awesome but also that it is meant to distract us from this ruling that also came today: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/15/supreme-court-allows-atlantic-coast-pipeline-to-cross-appalachian-trail-320466

Indigenous peoples' land (I know ONTD doesn't give fuck all for that last one, but it's important to me so I am keeping it in). CALL EM OUT SIS, CUZ WHO? That's fucking rank.

Shameful. Both the US and Canada have to reckon with their original sin and its pervasive and sustained oppression of Indigenous people. The fact that Indigenous communities have to litigate land and title is enough to make one sick. A body of white men and women deciding something they could never understand, driven by laws and a constitution never meant to protect....The world sucks.

Yeah...which assholes are being dicks about Indigenous people's rights?

ia with everything you said

Its not meant to distract us.

Environmental law in the US is actual crap. There are no teeth and are frequently procedural and NOT protective. This case was voted on for a technicality- who was the legal right to offer land access. Honestly the Park Service and Fish and Wildlife overlap a lot and sometimes dont have a good function for determining who is the agency with jurisdiction (particularly if its a multi-agency project).

This is not going to allow the project to move forward, it has multiple lawsuits against it that need to be settled.

When I heard about this new ruling, as a foreigner I was so confused like I didn’t even know that was a thing before. Seemed crazy to me that this wasn’t a given ...
