roe v wade has been overtaking the media recently, causing a ton of outrage and backlash, which is great. however, the supreme court is quietly planning another, just as horrible, ruling. the only difference is that this one is going to receive a lot less media attention.
in october of this year, the supreme court will hear brackeen v haaland, a case designed to overturn the indian children welfare act (icwa) which was established in 1978.
icwa gives indigenous peoples jurisdiction over their own children, which prevents these children from being stolen and placed in non-indigenous homes. if icwa is overturned, indigenous children will once again be at risk of being separated from their families and cultures.
nondisordered people saying “i haven’t eaten all day” is always so funny to me bc usually they mean since breakfast and don’t count any snacks or drinks they consumed
this is another case that will highly affect families and parents. like roe v wade, it will steal bodily autonomy and the freedom that indigenous peoples deserve.
