Summary
In some much needed great news, the conservative U.S. Supreme Court, with the majority opinion written by Trump appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch, ruled today to protect the rights of LGBTQ Americans in the workplace and prevent them from being discriminated against. This followed the terrible news this weekend of the death of Rayshard Brooks, another Black American man killed while running away from police after committing the crime of falling asleep at a Wendy's drive-thru window in Atlanta. Michael Moore shares his thoughts on these two major stories, plus his reaction to Trump tweeting at him again.
