ProPublicaSupreme Risk: An Interactive Guide to Rights the Supreme Court Could Take Away
==
Most rights are based in statute, but dozens — like same-sex marriage, search warrants & Miranda warnings — are based on judicial rulings that the #SupremeCourt can overturn and that current justices have questioned some aspect of.
Which rights are most at risk?
Our new guide lets you filter results by #SCOTUS justice & by issues like #CriminalJustice, #Education, #Voting & #Guns

Good #bikerafting and camping trip on the #PotomacRiver last weekend. Beautiful weather, great biking and paddling (and some rock and shell art)!
Haru is a union journalistA year ago, I was denied thousands of dollars in #health coverage for...being late.
I had a big bill from an out-of-network psychotherapist. I had thought my #insurance plan with UnitedHealthcare would cover a lot of it.
But United denied my claim. Why? I took more than six months to submit my claim.
Mind you, I was battling #depression and undiagnosed #ADHD at the time.
Today, with @ProPublica's help, I'm asking to see what went on behind the scenes.
You can, too.

Kevin CarsonPlease don't clog up the Transgender Concerns Form with so many spurious reports that it becomes unusable, and the Missouri government gets Big Mad. Because that would be wrong. Here's a link to the form so you'll know exactly where not to do that: https://ago.mo.gov/file-a-complaint/transgender-center-concerns
NaeI don't know who needs to hear this but
The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders
The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders
The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders
The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders
Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services

if you understand that for a certain demographic of people, accountability is considered offensive, a lot of things start to make more sense.

An abolitionist designed the statue. A group of abolitionists paid for the statue. There's a plaque at the feet telling everyone what it's for. They named it the Statue of Liberty. It's arguably the largest anti-racism monument in the US, and the most recognizable anti-racism monument in the world...
Except people don't even know it's an anti-racism monument. They think it celebrates the huge influx of white immigrants from Europe that came to the US.
