#BREAKING: In a 6-5 ruling, the 9th Circuit has just greenlighted the destruction of Oak Flat, an ancient sacred site of Western Apache and other Native peoples. This decision is wrong, and @BECKETlaw will appeal to the Supreme Court.

Seems timely:
Why are rates of transgender identification skyrocketing? One cause is often overlooked: the law. Multiple laws channel kids down the path of gender transition, creating a powerful “transgender conveyor belt.” Here’s how it works. 🧵

Fascinating (and surprising!) new polling on religious freedom for anyone interested in the subject 👇👇👇
New polling shows high agreement on religious freedom, even in the face of controversial issues like abortion. And there’s a surprising increase in religious practice for Gen Z. Want the details? In celebration of National Religious Freedom Day, Becket has released the sixth edition of the Religious Freedom Index, the nation’s only annual poll that tracks American opinion on religious freedom. The 2024 Index marked the highest overall score in the Index’s history, demonstrating that Americans are increasingly unified in supporting religious liberty for people of all faiths. This year’s poll highlighted Americans’ concerns about government interference in religion, their desire for a culture that values religious freedom, and their unity in supporting everyone’s right to live out their faith despite disagreements over abortion.

Another strong showing of amici for another big #ReligiousFreedom case headed to the Supreme Court 👇
A coalition of Muslims, Jews, Christians, 25 states, parents, legal scholars, and more asked #SCOTUS yesterday to ensure that parents can opt their children out of storybooks pushing a one-sided ideology on gender and sexuality. Here’s a rundown of some of the briefs ⬇️

This broad coalition of states, tribes, religious groups, and scholars underscores why the Supreme Court should take this case and make clear that Native sacred sites deserve the same protection as other places of worship nationwide.

13. Senator Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) and @Protecting1st remind the Court that Congress set the test in RFRA and argue that the Ninth Circuit contradicted and cast doubt on important legislative presumptions in its erroneous decision.
