Summary
Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled that the Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ+ employees from workplace discrimination in a 6-3 ruling. This is the first major case involving transgender rights, and it comes from a decidedly conservative court. We get into what it means, and how we got here.
Plus, the latest on coronavirus, where cases are on the rise and how states and business are reacting.
And in headlines: BLM protestor Oluwatoyin Salau found dead in Florida, hummingbirds see secret colors, and Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ delayed at movie theaters.
Akilah & Gideon’s book recommendations:
Obviously: Stories From My Timeline by Akilah Hughes
Wow, No Thank You by Samantha Irby
