The Supreme Court's decisions in Graff and 303 Creative will be disastrous. Talking with my sources, some places in the Midwest and south are already refusing service... at restaurants.

Wow, this article really misunderstands the ruling. It's going way sensational, I guess to get clicks, but no, the Supreme Court rulings don't at all go where this article goes.
It's funny because the article even acknowledges that other people point out the narrowness of the ruling. It just says nuh and runs right past that point to paint its dystopian picture.
New Republic is not a reliable outfit, and this article is a good reason that it is not reputable. This article is fear-mongering not based in reality.
@volkris @MHowell You know what: I'll take the ban. Go fuck yourself. You're not the one that's going to be on the receiving end of this shit. In fact, they're already calling for the end of the Civil Rights Act based on this. You know nothing. Just like Dobbs was "narrow", not it's used to ban trans health care. https://www.mediamatters.org/justice-civil-liberties/some-right-wing-media-admit-eliminating-civil-rights-protections-goal-anti
But this is exactly why we need to be clear about what's happening, so we can be clear that a lot of the politicians that we keep reelecting for some reason are letting us down.
These are questions for lawmakers, not the courts. And yes, the lawmakers are really not doing their jobs the way they should. But we keep reelecting them, keep handing them the power to keep going, so I guess we're okay with it.
We absolutely should not let them point fingers at the court, though, for their own failures to fix the laws. That's how they try to duck accountability.
And if we buy these false narratives about the court rulings we won't hold these lawmakers accountable, and so we won't get progress on these important issues.
