Just a note for any #news reporters/journalists:

When someone in the #USA goes on a shooting spree, I'd REALLY like to know: what types of #guns were used, if they were owned legally (*especially* if you're going to report on a 'history of mental illness' or domestic violence), how lax that state's gun laws are, aaand if the #supremeCourt has recently nullified any laws making it easier for the shooter to legally purchase those firearms.

I don't feel like that's too much to ask. K thanks ✌️

Obergefell next on the chopping block?

Supreme Court to consider case overturning same-sex marriage

“Ten years after the U.S. #SupremeCourt extended marriage rights to same-sex couples nationwide, the justices will consider this fall whether to take up a case explicitly asking them to overturn that landmark ruling.

According to ABC News, former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, jailed in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to a gay couple on religious grounds, is appealing a $100,000 jury award for emotional damages and $260,000 in attorneys’ fees.”

Text Shot: The case marks the first formal request since 2015 for the high court to overturn Obergefell. Lower courts have rejected Davis’ defense, noting she acted as a state official and could not claim First Amendment immunity. Attorneys for David Ermold and David Moore — the couple who sued Davis — told ABC News they are confident the Supreme Court will decline to hear the appeal. Still, Davis’ challenge comes amid renewed efforts in at least nine states to restrict marriage rights for LGBTQ+ people, part of a broader push by some conservatives to return the issue to the states. Public opinion on same-sex marriage remains largely favorable, with Gallup showing 70% support in 2025, up from 60% in 2015, though Republican support has dropped to 41%. Davis likens her case to the court’s 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade and cites Justice Clarence Thomas’ call to revisit Obergefell.

"The tech barons wanted unregulated capitalism and stable property rights. The fascists wanted to terrorize immigrants and keep the economy humming. The Court wanted unchecked executive power and judicial supremacy. Now their impossible wants meet immovable reality."

"That’s why everything is failing at once—markets, courts, governance—each crisis colliding with the others. Immigration terror collides with labor shortages. The DOJ becomes a revenge machine just as markets crave legal stability. Media surrender to power just as public trust becomes essential.

These contradictions were suspended in freefall. Impact resolves them violently."

"Impact has its own physics: sudden revelations of truths long denied. Fascists discover skilled workers won’t come to countries that disappear immigrants. Oligarchs learn that dismantling regulation also dismantles the predictability their wealth needs. The Supreme Court finds that erasing constitutional limits erases the legitimacy that makes their rulings enforceable."

"This isn’t justice. It’s a monarchy cloaked in law, where the courts no longer check power but serve as executioners for Trump’s political vengeance — and we’re all witnesses expected to cheer."

As a body, the US Catholic bishops worked feverishly to stack the court with the right-wing Catholic cabal now controlling it, and are very happy with what they have gotten, especially after Roe v. Wade was knocked down. I refuse to take anything seriously that almost any Catholic bishop in the US says now about democracy or human rights.

There are, as I know well, strong currents of all of that in the Catholic church and courageous people moved by their Catholic faith to defend human rights and democracy.

But those people have not had the upper hand in US Catholicism under the current bishops, many of them appointed by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

How can any thinking and informed Catholic now do anything but laugh when Catholic theologians and pastoral leaders talk about how Catholic teaching upholds human rights, is positively disposed to democracy, respects religious freedom, advocates for the poor as the rich run roughshod over them?
