Interview: "The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, has since January been obsessed with this race."

"The pivotal race on Tuesday will shape the majority of the state’s top court & have a far-reaching impact on issues like abortion & voting rights."

"A liberal victory would be widely interpreted as a rebuke of the Republican agenda."

“President #Trump & #ElonMusk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, stripping #health care access from people nationwide, & not giving a second thought to the devastation they will cause,” Johnson said in a stmnt.

Federally funded programs such as #TitleX are crucial in providing access to #affordable #ReproductiveHealthcare, said Kelly Baden, VP for public policy at the Guttmacher Institute, which supports #AbortionRights.

A #NY state court on Thurs blocked #Texas from filing a legal action against a NY #doctor for prescribing & sending #abortion pills to a TX woman.

The unprecedented move catapults the interstate abortion wars to a new level, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal battle between states that ban abortion & states that support #AbortionRights.

The dispute is widely expected to reach #SCOTUS, pitting TX, which has a near-total #AbortionBan, against NY.

Queer Satanic

The Satanic Temple is very bad at court cases.

A federal district court judge in New York today sided with the online magazine Newsweek against The Satanic Temple, a tax-exempt church, finding there was no basis by the nontheistic religious organization to continue the defamation case against the publisher.

queersatanic.com/the-satanic-t

This should be the end of a case that started either three or five years ago, depending on what you want to start counting by.

The Satanic Temple sued the Newsweek and its reporter Julia Duin in February 2022 in retaliation for Duin writing and Newsweek publishing a critical article about TST in October 2021; that article centered on TST suing four former Washington State members in April 2020. That is, us. The Temple repeatedly lost their lawsuits against us over the next four-plus, the final one ending in October 2024.

Also, it's not official yet, but "Satanic Temple’s Idaho Abortion Ban Appeal Looks Likely to Fail"

Title comes from this Bloomberg writeup that probably is paywalled, but is pretty negative:
news.bloomberglaw.com/health-l

> A panel of Ninth Circuit judges on Wednesday appeared unlikely to give the Satanic Temple another shot at suing Idaho over measures that bar it from providing abortion care to members in the state.
>
> Questions of the group’s standing to sue—personal, associational, organizational, or otherwise—dominated the oral arguments, with Judge M. Margaret McKeown asking attorneys for both sides to clarify how the Satanic Temple can proceed when it hasn’t named any member who lives in Idaho, is pregnant, and wants to end the pregnancy.
>
> It can’t, state’s attorney Alan Hurst told the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
>
> But W. James Mac Naughton, a private practitioner in Newton, N.J., representing the Satanic Temple, said there’s a “statistical probability” that such a person exists. In his analysis, at least three people in Idaho currently are being harmed by laws that prevent the Satanic Temple from setting up a clinic or mailing abortion-inducing pills into the state, he said.
>
> Without a name, however, there’s no way to show the Satanic Temple’s claimed harm is anything more that pure speculation, Hurst said.
>
> Judge John B. Owens didn’t have any substantive questions for the attorneys, while Judge Ronald M. Gould stayed silent.

It goes on about some more of the background, but you can also just see all of their cases on The.Satanic.Wiki.

This Courthouse news article should be fully accessible and also characterizes it similarly:
courthousenews.com/idaho-says-

> “This case is about coerced motherhood and money,” James Mac Naughton, an attorney representing the Satanic Temple, told the court.
>
> But before Mac Naughton got too far into his argument, U.S. Circuit Judge Mary McKeown questioned him about the Temple’s standing.
>
> “Maybe you can explain to me what have you alleged that give you the predicates of associational standing?” Bill Clinton appointee asked.

#USpolitics #Elections #2025

In the 'most democratic country' you can keep on voting... for nearly every public office.
[Unlike my country, the Netherlands 🇳🇱, where we can vote 3 times in every 4 years, provided the government doesn't crash]
Extreme Christian right has been doing this for decades, and you can see that it works.
Democrats and left wingers have been neglecting to do the same, and you can see that it doesn't work. Culture wars on books and sex been made to deflect from issues like #HealthCare #AbortionRights etc.
This year should be different: pick the best governer or mayor, not the sweetest talker. Study their voting behaviour. Study, point blank.
Pack the courts, schoolboards etc

Missouri AG issues order barring Planned Parenthood clinics from providing medication abortions

"AG Bailey's attempt to gin up a fake story and score political points is a clear attempt to threaten and intimidate the state's only abortion providers, but Planned Parenthood will not be deterred," leaders stated Wednesday in a press release before the desist order was issued.
