Summary

The Supreme Court has made decisions favoring DACA recipients and LGBTQ+ workers' rights, contrasting with the expectations of President Trump's administration.

Abstract

The article reflects on the unexpected rulings by the Supreme Court concerning two significant cases. Despite the Trump administration's efforts to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, the court ruled in favor of DACA recipients, preserving their protections. Additionally, the court extended the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include the protection of gay and transgender workers from employment discrimination. The author acknowledges concerns about future rulings, particularly regarding Roe v. Wade, but expresses a sense of celebration for these victories from a court that many feared would decide differently.

Six Words: Loosely translated, of course.

Not what I expected. But I celebrate.

Supreme Court:

“F*ck You,

President Trump.”

Please see:

There could be more and better work on policing,and I worry about Roe v. Wade. Of course I do. But in a world so full of horrifying news, I will take a few wins from a court that a great many of us worried would not go in this direction.
