The US supreme court has ruled that Native American children can continue to be protected under federal law against being removed from their tribal communities for fostering or adoption, rejecting a petition from a white couple who argued that the provision was a form of racial discrimination.

I cannot overstate the incredible sense of relief the headline alone provides. Reading the article—it’s a physical thing, many months of worry cautiously lifting from the pit of my stomach. I had very little hope this would not be overturned, in our political climate, like, I’ve been absolute doom and gloom about it, all apocalyptic feeling. I don’t want to sound over the top, it’s just been such a sickening worry for a long time now. I am so happy and grateful. ICWA is so vitally important.

I’ve been waiting for June with such dread and to see this news, thank goodness. I had to read on multiple news sites to believe it.

the great thing too is it was a 7-2 verdict, so not a close one here. (obviously Thomas and Alito are fucking ghouls--and unsurprisingly they dissented)
