The birth control benefit assures that insurance premiums that cover preventative care also cover birth control -- because its preventative care!-- If I'm paying premiums for coverage that birth control ain't free. The benefit assures *I* get non-discriminatory coverage
Here's the only backgrounder you need on this case, courtesy of @AngryBlackLady #TeamLegal

I'm Italian and a Taurus I can stay mad about the "free birth control" talking points for a looooooong time we do not forget these things 😂
Okay I'm going to refill my coffee, get some water, and grab some Cheerios before we *really* get started. It's a big day! Make sure you're also hydrating and taking plenty of breaks for snacks.
Tune in for SCOTUS snark, stick around for the Italian mama nudges 😂

For folks who want to listen along with today's medication abortion arguments at SCOTUS here's a link



Arguments start at 10 ET/8 The Vortexsupremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
The nuts and bolts of today's argument is less about how far the conservatives roll back mifepristone access and the likely reality that there are at least 5 votes to use the Comstock Act to impose national abortion bans in a variety of flavors
Pills by mail is an absolute game changer when it comes to abortion access and that's precisely why conservatives have attacked it

I desperately need folks to understand that this is intentional. Johnston and his ilk depend on reinforcing poverty as a policy choice in part to bleed social services and redirect funding to their Christian grifts. They actually say this part out loud.
If I accomplish anything in this one short life I've been given its to help folks FUCKING GRASP that "cultural welfare" is economic welfare. There are no fiscal conservatives. CULTURAL WELFARE IS ECONOMICS FFS
To state it more plainly. The war on our bodies and identities is directly tied to our ability to produce labor and be compensated for it. And our ability to be full civic participants. It's not new.

Next stop for the mifepristone case is the 5th Circuit who is all but certain to issue a positively batshit ruling.

The antis are going to force the Comstock Act issue before SCOTUS one way or another.
For those who need a refresher, here's what the Fifth Circuit had to say the first time around

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Johnathan Mitchell, architect of Texas' bounty hunter abortion ban in particular wants a court to bite on his argument that Comstock functions as a full federal criminal ban on mailing abortion pills AND ALSO a means to attack state laws that affirmatively protect abortion

Honestly if you’re a white person who says they’re committed to racial justice and you’re in good standing with most your family I have *questions* for you and they are definitely pointed
Full disclosure I’m in contact with exactly three members of my birth and extended family for this specific reason
That first question is how committed are you, really

Okay so some moments of joy from today’s graduation. In her speech Olive gave a special shout out on behalf of her for her older brother to the gym teacher who really did not like him. Because. She’s Italian 😂💥
She also declared this was the year she leaves the drama behind.

SO SAY WE ALL ❤️😂
Most kids talked about how they liked field trips and my kid … did not and this is something about apple and the tree 😂🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

God today was hard. Like. I’ve been in progressive journalism for over 10 years and have covered a lot of shitty things that impact me and my family personally. But going to Olive’s elementary school graduation today hit different than even I was braced for
The day started with her older brother in angry tears that he didn’t move his chemistry final so he could be at her ceremony because….what if. And then it moved to alerts about additional police at all the schools because…threats
We then toggled to Olive processing the news herself that she was going to school just a morning after a massacre like this was a normal thing to do in this county while also still being excited about her day.
