To all the naysayers (that's the G-rated term) who insisted that we were hysterical ladies and no one on SCOTUS was interested in revisiting same-sex marriage and contraception ... behold Justice Clarence Thomas concurring in the majority opinion. Laying out the next 10 years.

If you need a smile today, check out my granddog out on his hike today.

It has been 32 days since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Between the budget, the economic development bill, and the reproductive freedom bill set to be sent to the Governor today, the Massachusetts legislature has responded forcefully. A thread on Massachusetts' historic action.

Next week is my last week in #biglaw. I'm leaving for a dream job in academia. In case it is helpful to anyone, I'll share some tips and tricks picked up in my six years at a law firm. A 🧵:

THAT’S MY GIRL @KatieFuelling makin dreams come true!!!

So let me get this straight. A state has the right to restrict abortions, but doesn’t have the right to restrict firearms? Is that what we have now in these “United” States?

Justice Thomas concurs, saying overruling Roe isn't enough. "For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell." That's right to privacy, contraception, marriage equality,etc

Governor Charlie Baker has signed an executive order today that will not cooperate with extradition requests from other states pursuing criminal charges against individuals who received, assisted with, or performed reproductive health services that are legal in Massachusetts.

Thank you!!!!!! Sobbing crying I am healed
