The first #SCOTUS decision is in Florida v. Georgia, the original action water dispute before the justices. Florida lost and the dispute is dismissed. Barrett has the opinion for a unanimous Court. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
The second #SCOTUS decision is FCC v Prometheus Radio Project. Kavanaugh has the opinion for a unanimous Court, finding in favor of the FCC in an own ship rules dispute and reversing the 3rd Circuit. Thomas concurs. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
The final #SCOTUS opinion today is in Facebook v. Duguid. Sotomayor has the opinion for the Court, ruling for Facebook in a case about whether a Facebook security measure violates the TCPA. Alito concurs in the judgment; there are no dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…

OK, it’s a perfect time to talk about World Bipolar Day, which was now yesterday. (Get it? 🙃)

Anyway, my story. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II at 20, after having had to move back home to Ohio from DC after a summer of not being able to hold down a job.
Earlier in the year, around Memorial Day, I’d checked myself into Sibley Memorial Hospital for help — at the strong urging of my dearest friends. It wasn’t the solution, but it started me on the path. I was started on an anti-depressant, which got me over the “no meds” hurdle.
The summer was both not all bad by memory — yet obviously a complete disaster of a shitshow by all actual evidence. By the end of the summer — I tried to work at Kramerbooks for a week, but that didn’t work! — I was out of money and weighed 115 pounds. In August, I moved home.

Meanwhile, unlawful assembly already declared tonight in LA, in the ongoing protests over the closing of Echo Park Lake.
A reporter on the scene (for more on kettling: vox.com/2020/6/6/21282…) —>
This gaslighting. O’Farrell said last night that he wanted the cops there. They created this crisis. Hundreds of cops there, provoking just enough reaction (allegedly) from a few people for LAPD to then declare an unlawful assembly, leading to the “show of force.”

In #SCOTUS opinions this morning, first up is a personal jurisdiction case, Ford Motors Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court. Kagan has the opinion of the Court, affirming the Montana Supreme Court and finding jurisdiction. There are no dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
The final #SCOTUS opinion today is in Torres v. Madrid. The 5-3 opinion is by Roberts, finding that a seizure under the 4th Amendment happens when police apply physical force to a person — even if it doesn’t stop them. Gorsuch, w Thomas & Alito, dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
Barrett participated in neither case, as they were argued in the October sitting, before she joined the Court.

This is exciting! A lot of what's in @benyt's story tonight is why I'm at @theappeal. While I just joined The Appeal in January, they've been doing incredible work — and we've expanded it significantly this year.
If you haven't already, check us out: theappeal.org
One of the things I've worked on that I'm most proud of since joining The Appeal is our totally new vertical this year: The Point. @NTBaszynski is the managing editor, and has done an incredible job getting it going. I've been thrilled to be able to help: theappeal.org/the-point/
